ECONOMIST FLAYS PUBLIC'S ATTITUOE TO SHIFT BURDEN Asks Why Government Should Manage Losing Business, By DR. LEWIS H. HANEY Director of the Bureau of Research. New York University, Written for the United Financial NEW YORK, April 28. —This is the open season for all sorts of inconsistency and loose thinking. Politicians are trying to show us how we can have but mcfney and spend it too. Many groups of people seem to be convinced that *bey can hoist themselves over the fence by their own bootstraps. To begin with, there is the bonus muddle. First, we are told that we can spend several billion dollars on a bonus and at the same time reduce taxation. Then Congress goes on another tack and tells the Doughboys that we can not afford to pay them cash, but will give them insurance claims which fall uue latfcr on. That is. after the present Congressmen have passed on. and the bills have to be paid by these same young men who were soldiers, the will be given. It will come out of one pocket and go into the other. Shifting Burden At least, this is one way of figuring it. But probably lobbyists of the Legion are thinking that they win be able to join the farmers, the laborers, and other special interests, in the pleasant occupation of shifting the burden to the other fellow. One of the most serious and menacing signs of the time is this tendency of the citizen to treat his nation as though he were not a part of it. The tendency is to ask “the Government" to do it. Too many people forget that they are a part of the Nation and that what the Government spends is their’s. 'ey are merely trying to get the b f the deal, hoping to escape the ,uties and burdens that each citizen should share. To Protect Fanner Here comes the farmer and his Mc-Nary-Haugen bill, which Is a bill designed to benefit the farmer at the expense of everybody else in the country. This bill does more than assume a high tariff to protect the farmer from outside competition. as many other industries are protected. It goes protection one better and seeks directly to boost the domestic prices of certain farm products. Many manufacturers have tariff protection, but none, I believe, expects “the Government” to spend $200,000,000 to boost his prices far above a level justified by the condition of supply and demand. Buying up wheat at higher prices than it can be sold for means loss. Why should we want our Government to go into a losing business? Here. too. come the organized railway labor groups with their PowellBarkley bill, which would substitute for the railway labor board, with its ■representation of the public, a system of arbitration in which the public would have no voice. The idea apparently is that the national labor organizations desire to deal with individual railways. Tendency illogical It does seem illogical for us to regulate railway management at every turn —from car service and boilers to i rates and capitalization and then allow railroad labor to tie up our transportation systems and increase their j expenses at will. The whole drift toward Government ! ownership, or Government aid to special classes of able-bodied men, is a Sign of weakness, or selfishness, or Watch your pimples vanish Why ? Pimple-Poison goes when Red-Blood-Cells increase ! S. S. S. builds these Red-Blood-Cells! You can be sure of this, nature has no substitute for red-blood-cells. Pimple-poison can’t live in the red rivers of your blood as long as there Every woman, every man, can now have a face clear as a Rose-Petal 1 are enough rich red-blood-cells In it. More red-blood-cells! That Is what you need when you see pimples staring at you in the mirror. Blackheaded pimples are worse! Eczema la worse yet! You can try everything under the sun, —you’ll find only one answer, more cell' power in your blood! The tremendous results, produced by an increase In red-blood-cells is one of the A. B. C.’s of medical science. Red-cells mean clear, pure, rich blood. They mean clear, ruddy, lovable complexions. They mean nerve power, because all your nerves are fed by your blood. They mean freedom forever from pimples, from the blackhead pest, from boils, from eczema and skin eruptions, from rheumatic Impurities, from that tired, exhausted, run-down feelingt Bed-blood-cells are the most import tant thing in the world to each of us. S. 8. 8. will build them for you. 8. 8. 8. has been known since 1826, as one of the greatest blood-build-ers, blood-cleansers and system strengthen ers ever produced. S. 8.8.

NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT ME RID!AN AND SIXTEENTH ST. With the installation of this automatic traffic light, the city has regulated traffic at one of its busiest corners outside the downtown district. The flflash signal was designed by John Berry, city electrician. It was built and installed for only $l2O. and is similar to others which will be insalled at St. Clair and Meridian Sts., Twenty-Second and Meridian Sts. and Thirtieth and Meridian Sts. The signal is timed to flash thirtyfive seconds for Meridian St. traffic and twenty-five seconds for Sixteenth St.
both. One group has failed in its business and comes to the “Government" for charity. It seeks to trade votes for cash. Another group, being strongly organized, seeks to take from others by political violence. When we get down to the facts we find that there is no reaspn to suppose that if a group of men specializing in an industry can’t make it go, “the Government" can. The underlying idea is that the losers or those having grievances want to turn operating expenses into taxes, and then vote to make someone else pay their share of the taxes.

WORKMEN AT HALL SHOP TORN IDEAS INTO MECHANISMS Inventors Shape Thoughts Into Strange Metal Ma- ' chines, Standing in W. Maryland St. and looking through the double doors numbered 226, into the grimy interior of the machine shop operated by the Archibald M. Hall Company, one would not expect to be looking upon a scene of unusual brain exertion. It is a fact, however, that in the mechanical operations of the Hall shop more actual brain effort is expended than in the conduct of most business j enterprises. The brainwork accomplished amid ’ the grime-covered lathes and per formed by men whose clothes and : hands are coated with grease is no | less a mental effort than that exert ed by the man whose clothes and hands are clean and wh* works with books or logarithms. Thoughts Then .Machine* To the Hail machine shop Inventors bring their idens to have them turned into metal mechanisms capable of doing strange things. With an idea set down on paper, the mechanics of the j Hall organization recently completed 1 a motor-driven water pump that is I small enough (o rest in the palm of a man’s hand. It is a part of the Gurley automatic water system, and this tiny pump, at work for a farmer or a suburban dweller, will produce a greater amount of water pressure than” is present in city water pipe line. The orange juice machine* that every one has seen on the downtown streets, in which there is a procession of whole oranges dropping down a shelved passageway, were produced In the Hall shop. Tn the last several years many mechanical devices that arc almost human in their operation have been produced here.
Brain Workers To produce such machines Mr. Hall i has surrounded himself with a bapd | of expert mechanics who are brain | workers, as well as laborers with their I hands. At their head he has George ! Holtman as foreman, a mechanical expert of unusual adaptability, who can produce in steel or other metal the devices that will perform the tasks the inventor has pmpped out for them. Because Mr. Hall, the head of the organization. Is frequently absent from business, filling public speaking en- j gagements and appearing before fraternal organizations, with whom be is In frequent demand, Mr. Holtman is In complete charge of the shop, much of the time. Because of the character of the w'orkmen employed all through the shop, and because the nature of their work keeps every man interested In his job, Mr. Hall and Mr. Holtman both can he for days at ft time and the production of machines goes forward the same as when* they are both present.
