Warn Governor Pinchot To
Aid in Berwyn School Fight
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., November
-2—(CNS)— “Unless you take posi
tive steps to eradicate the vicious
policy of segregation in Berwyn,
Devon and Strafford, the Negro citi
zenry of Pennsylvania through their
-ganizations are determined to de
feat your candidacy for the United
States Senate,” is the warning re
cently sent to Govemoj. Gifford Pin
chot in the matter of the segregation
of Negro children of school age in
he towns mentioned.
Failure to use his official influence
with Attorney General W. A. Schnad
er, and Dr. James N.. Rule, head of
the Department of Public Instruction,
to have Negro children admitted to
schools in their neighborhood as
provided in the State school code,
Governor Pinchot will fail under the
ban as cited.
The Governor is told that the re
cent Democratic victory in Philadel
phia, as a result of which he wired
Philadelphia citizens that he was
"tickled to death,” should serve as a
warning to him. “The 500,000 Negro
es of Pennsylvania will vote against
you unless you at once and without
delay end this illegally established!
“Jim Crow” school system that exists
in certain Pennsylvania towns,” the
Governor was also told.

The chances are that you don’t even

you for payment, and you aren’t so
much as paying the interest directly.
This latter is the public debt,

that increased the debt because it

A GO0B RESOLUTION FOR 1934
It’s a little early yet for New
Year's resolutions, but here’s one
worth considering—“I'll do my part
to reduce fire waste in 1934.”
If a hundred million Americans
did resolve that, and didn’t drop it
along about the second week of Jan
uary with the resolution concerning
smoking, the nation would have a
splendid start toward winning a dif
ficult and ancient fight. We have
long been the most prodigal of peo
ple when it comes to fire. We’ve
sacrificed thousands of lives and
millions of dollars to it—precisely as
ihj peoples of the pre-christian era
sacrificed their victims to the god of
flame. In those days the reason was
superstition — in ours it is a com
bination of ignorance and laziness.
And one is as reprehensible as the
other.
h ires mean high rax rates. They
mean terror and misery and disaster.
They mean stultification and despair.
They’ve ruined whole communities.
Their total economic waste can’t be
expressed accurately in figures—the
direct loss comes to between four
hundred and five hundred million a
year, and the indirect waste is sev
eral times as great.

REGULATE TRANSPpRTATION!
In a recent address concerning the
need for adequate and equitable re
gulation of all forms of transporta
tion, Carl R. Gray, Presid nt of the
Union Pacific System, said: “The
position of the railoads is not in it
self alarming. So far as the depres
sion period is concerned, the rail
carriers face the same conditions as
other enterprises— a greatly lessen
ed business. In the necessity that
hey maintain a certa n fixrd service,
'h r.' '!•> hsve a definite disability not
experienced by business which is not
vested with a public interest. On the
other hand they possess unique ele
ments of advantage in that there
has been proven to be a stage below
which traffic cannot be depressed.
The nation be fed, clothed, and kept
warm, and in the supply of these
vital needs the railroads provide the
_n;ial service. The problems of
h .-a., c<u. v - wmcb are distinctly
associated with the depression are
not in any important respect peculiar
to them alone. As they have shared
with business the results of the de
pression, they cannot be denied a
participation in the benefits which
will result from an increasing tide of
business.”
We arc witnessing great experi
ments by government, whereby un
cutthroat cempntitien, which is
the enemy ef stability, is hoped to
be eliminated. Certainly se vital an
industry as the railroad deserves
early consideration and the enact
ment of policies to protect it from
ruin.
The Federal government has made
a start, with the emergency railroad
g.inat on. _*utn must ue u ne in the
near future—and reports from
Washington that further transport
proposals are to come before Con
gress when it convenes again, are
i,ear<.en.ng. At tiu .nom.-n. we ha.
no regulation of transportation—w
have only regulation of one phase
r " it, the railroads. That is an un
tenable condition, and must be cor
rected.
RECOVERY PROGRAM NEELS
THE UTILITIES
In an article in Electric Light and
Power for September, Harper Leech
brings a fresh and interesting vie ■’
point to bear on the present relation
between the government and the
utility industry. He points out not
only that the utilities face an import
ant financing problem, but that if
the financing problem is a great one
to the utilities, it is still greater so
far as government and recovery are
concerned.
Mr. Leech states unequivocally
that stagnation of the utility indus
try would mean the absolute collapse
of the whole industrial recovery pro
gram. In suppot of that statistics
are his best witness. In normal times
in recent years, utility output has in
eeased by about ten per cent annual
ly. As new uses for power develop
and there is stimulated employment
of electricity for such purposes as
refrigerating, heating, cooking and
electricity on the farm, the best
opinion is that normal growth in the
future must be much in excess of
that ten per cent.
That ten per cent, however, makes
a very substantial total. In 1926 it
cost $700,000,000 to provide it. In
1930 it cost $919,000,000 and in 1931,
$590,000000. Sums of money such as
these can only be obtained from in
vestors— individuals who have faith
in the future and the earning cap
acity of a particular power company.
Anything that discourages utility in
vestmen—anything that makes it
difficult or impossible for companies
to finance expansion and improve- n
ment—strikes a blow at recovery and |
employment. 1
I
Again, as Mr. Leech says, it is
power that is going to put men back
to work. Men work with machines,
and more and more of the machines
are electrically driven. We aren’t
going to return to ox teams or spin
ning wheels. The private utility in
dustry is in a position to supply the
vast amounts of new power that will
be needed. It encompasses the whole
country, and is amazingly sensitve to
local conditions.
What we are doing now is to dis
courage and hamper the utilities,
through taxation and unfair govern
ment competition. That is hardly un
derstandable at a time w'hen all the
resources of the nation should be
Lent to the single purpose of bring
ing back prosperity.
LIFE INSURANCE AND THE IN
DIVIDUAL
In a recent address, Roger B. Hull,
managing director and general coun
sel, the National Association of Life
Underwriters, spoke of the definite
interest the life insurance industry
has in any social or economic experi
ments undertaken by the govern
ment. The business of life insurance
is predicated upon the theory that
all progress, all civilizing develop
ments, are the result of individual
Individual thrift and foresight is a
nation’s greatest asset.
Those who buy life insurance are,
knowingly or unknowingly, acting on
that theory. They are using part of
the wherewithal earned by their
minds and muscle and aptitudes to
ate estates, to prepare for the fu
ture, to educate their children, to as
ure an independent old age— to do
the thousand and one things life in
urance offers. And they are doing
it without doles or governmental
bounties or legiaaltive compulsion.
Mr. Hull spoke of this in its rela
tion to the various theories that are
advanced proposing government in
surance against unemploymen, sick
ness, want, childbirth, burial and so
on. In effect they would destroy all
that life insurance as we know it
now, has come to be. They would im
peril the savings of those who have
been really thrifty and foresighted.
They would put a burden on compet
ence and care, and give a premium
to waste and irresponsibility.
It is one thing, as Mr. Hull says,
to seek to better the lives and hopes
of a people, and another to so re
gulate their affairs that all self-re
liance, all independence, is squeezed
out of them.
TROUBLES OF COPPER
The troubles the government, cop
per producers and refiners have met
in seeking to fomnlate a workable
copper code, are indicative of the
vast number of problems the indus
try always confronts.
No industry was hit harder by de
pression — none will have to over
come more unfavorable factors in
fighting toward recovery. And ns in
dustry is so vita] to the progress and
developments of many of oar states.
Whatever happens to the copper
code, it should have indicated one
thing to the residents of the mining
■tates —• that the most infinite care
must be taken in formulating tax
and legislative policies affecting
mining, if the industry is again to be
a great employer, purchaser and
agent of progress.
