Truths Pondered While
Then gently scan
your brother man"
•By Mr. Modestus
"Laws" are just the rules concern
ing: property.
How you may get it, hold it buy,
sell, give and take it
How to inherit and bequeath prop
erty
The rules concerning the CONTROL
of Property: that is "law."
At least that is nine-tenths of it—
and more.
Schwenn Coal Company
But crime—? Yes, I know—most
of it offenses against property and
property rights.
Murder—? Well, the last thing a
man should be deprived of is the con
trol of his own life
Murder is just the violation of that
supreme Property Right.
Freedom—? Just the control of
one's own proper person: mind, body,
will.
Assault—? Only an interference
with freedom.
Morals—? Well, it is a little shock
ing at one's first hearing of case of
bastardy, to hear the judge say: "The
court is interested here concerning
the proper provision for the child's
care and education."
Let that be settled: and suddenly,
there is "nothing before the court."
Fraud—thievery—all a matter of
property, and property law.
Who makes the laws? That is poli
tics.
Politics is just mainly the process
of making, administering and enforc
ing the rules of property.
Who makes the rules of any game
—but the fellows who play it?
Tell me who holds the stakes of the
game, and I'll tell you who makes the
rules of the game.
Property law is really just a state
ment of experience—with property.

COAL AND COKE
It began back in the Roman Em
pire—with Justinian? He was
em?
peror.
He gathered together the experience
of the empire, and put it into the
"Justinian code."
For the "one-man" kind of prop
erty, that code is pretty good law yet.
It was said to express the "will of
the emperor"—
But when great merchants sent
their ships to the ends of the earth
When caravans crossed continents
When "trade winds" were so named
because they drove the ships of com
merce
When gold of business bought kings
and dictated peace and war
When the merchants' Hansa Towns
could feed—or starve—a king's ar
mies
Then—law came to represent some
thing bigger than the will of em
perors.
Our property law is based upon this
old experience—"precedent" rules.
"Stare decisis!" It has decided!
A judge's mind is trained to un
derstand and to apply these prece
dents.
This training gives him what
called a "legal mind."
That is all right—when it is the
kind of property with which the Old
Romans had their experience.
Now if property would only behave
itself!—
But the durn stuff keeps changing
its form, use and powers.
There is a fundamental principle of
Law applied to one-man property
"So use thine own that no other
suffers thereby in his use of that
which is his own."
Now—apply this fair principle to
a piece of property three thousand
miles long, owned by 10,000 persons,,
used by a nation, the operation of
which controls vitally the life, labor,
living, trade and freedom of move
ment of millions of men, women and
children, and affects the welfare of
a nation—all nations!
Is it any wonder that the "legal
minds" become confused
Leadership does not consist of tell
ing others what to do, but in setting
the right kind of example.

Rubber Workers Strike
Against Wage Reduction
Findlay, Ohio (ILNS)—Forced to
act by successive wage slashes, 300
employes of the Cooper tire factory
went on strike, demanding restora
tion of the wage scale in effect De
cember 1, 1932.
Spokesmen for the strikers satfd
wages had been reduced 50 per cent
in the last three months, and cut
85 per cent in the last year.

Glass That Bends Botk
Bullet and Stone Proof
Unbreakable glass is said to have
been Invented 2,000 years ago. An
artist appeared before Tiberius with
a glass cup which he dashed on the
ground. It was not broken but merely
dented like a piece of metal. Then he
hammered the cup back Into shape
w!tb a mallet. Tiberius asked If any
body else knew the secret, and when
the Inventor answered "No," had him
beheaded lest this wonderful glass
should depreciate the value of goldl
Now the secret which died with its
discoverer so long ago has been again
revealed In Germany, where glass has
been produced which neither splinters
nor breaks. To test It three adults
used a long sheet of 9-50th of an Inch
thickness as a see-saw, and the glass
is reported to have shown an elasticity
similar to that of highly-flexible steel.
As a further test, a heavy steel ball
was dropped from a height of 10 feet
on the glass without leaving any Im
pression.
Railway authorities and the motor
car trade are keenly Interested in this
glass, and It may be that the police
will not be indifferent to it, as Its gen
eral use for shop windows would tend
to reduce, If not abolish, the "smash
and-grab" menace.—Tit-Bits.
Good Pup, but Got in Bad:
He Ruined Guest's Teeth
A New York family had a young
dog of which It was very fond. Ha was
a good puppy, except for the fact
that he would on occasion chew things
he was not supposed to masticate. His
worst exhibition in this line happened
at the family's country place on Lon^
Island at a time when several guests
were staying over the week-end. It
was warm and some of the guests
left their doors ajar. In the morning
the dog was discovered by a member
of the family chewing on something
but apparently making little headway.
Examination disclosed that tt was an
upper plate containing the "store
teeth" of a rather sensitive guest, who
Wished It believed that his Ivory smile
was all his own. There was nothing
to be done. Those teeth were beyond
wearing. The family could only wait
In horror for their guest to wake to
toothless tragedy.—Detroit News.
Marigold an Old Flower
Tba Tagetes marigolds are ordinari
ly of two kinds, the African and the
French marigolds, which have been
Cultivated for several centuries. The
French marigolds are smaller, spread
ing, free flowering, brown and yellow
in color, and lasting all summer. The
African are taller, long stemmed, large
Cowered and used considerably for
cut-flower purposes. These colors are
lemon and orange. Varieties of both
kinds are visited by certain birds of
the late season, and seem to furnish
them with seeds as food. Most marl
golds are grown from seed sown In
the green house and the seedlings
transplanted to open ground from
flats or boxes. No other annual gets
such a uniform start, nor transplants
from flats to the open ground so
easily.
Various Type* ml Iris
The genus Moraea represents the
Iris of the southern hemisphere. In
Africa and Australia, where Tarious
species are found, the flower Is called
Iris by the settlers, who have at the
same time some of the true Iris forms
In their gardens. The most familiar
and beautiful Moraea is that called
the wedding iris, an Australian flower
which grows In company with the New
Zealand flax and other similar plants
In our conservatories. The flower
closely resembles an Iris, as does the
plant. The rootstock Is slender and
short, bearing regularly placed equidis
tant rows of rigid leaves. It Is propa
gated from young plants, produced at
the end of long, slender flowering
shoots, by cutting up the rhizomes, or
by seeds which are abundantly formed.
London's Garbage Diipoaal
Ancient scandal is found In Lon
don's antiquated disposal of Its gar
bage. It is simply taken to a lonely
spot outside the city and dumpedL
There is one at Crayford which has
been used for seventy years and an
other at Hornchurch which Is ninety
feet high and grows by 850,000 tons
every year. The chemistry of Its de
composition gives off a cloud of smoke
visible a mile away. There is another
dump near the home of George Ber
nard Shaw, but even his vigorous pro
tests over the smell and flies have
not changed things.—Montreal Herald.
Pointer for Dog Lover
A daily brushing instead of an all
over bath Is recommended for the baby
dog under three months old, by those
who know the whys and wherefores of
dogology. Should It become necessary
to bathe a very young puppy, say the
experts, every precaution should be
taken to guard him against taking
cold. Baths in winter are particularly
dangerous. For the grown dog, a bath
once every three weeks should suffice
during the winter, though a dally
grooming and brushing Is good for
him.
"Bob-White" Call Only in Spring
The "hob white" call Is rarely
heard after the spring hatching sea
son. From that time on until the
following spring the chief call used
by the quail Is the one that helps
keep their families together. This
close family association Is seldom
broken up earlier unless the birds are
scattered by hnnters.

Made By Giant Utility In
Slump Years 7 "V
•far
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Fat
profits earned during the depression
years by the great Morgan-controlled
United Corporation are revealed in a
report by the federal trade commis
sion.
The United Corporation, owner of
stock in holding and operating public
utility companies, was formed in 1929
by J. P. Morgan & Co., Drexel & Co.,
and Bonbright & Co. It made a profit
able start by earning $7,764,640 from
dividends and interest in the first year
of its existence. In 1930 it earned
$15,731,330 and in 1931 profits jump
ed to $19,392,770.
In 1932 earnings firo mdividends
and interest dropped, and United
earned only $14,832,916, but this does
not include stock dividends of Colum
bia Gas and Electric, and Electric
Bond and Share companies distributed
to shareholders.
Biggest of New Type
"ITniited Corporation is the largest
of a new type of corporation imposed
upon the electric and gas operating
and holding companies during the re
cent boom," says the trade commis
sion' sreport.
"This type is the so-claled 'Invest
ment' company which does not ac
quire a majority of the voting stock
holding or operating companies
and which does not openly take con
trol of the companies in which they
invest. They appear to have been
formed primarily as vehicles for the
.vorking out of mergers and regroup
ings."

voting stock was held by United Cor

investigation, but certain facte were
furnished voluntarily.
LOS ANGELES
Garment Workers Strike
Against Slave Wages
Los Angeles, Calif.—The entire
force of the Imperial Cloak Shop
here struck against the low wages
which the company sought to impose
on their already poorly paid workers.
The strikers, numbering about 65 men
and women, are members of Local No.
65 of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers' Union.
According to a statement by f.
Surasky, president of the local, the
strike was precipitated by the deter
mination of the manager to reduce
the wages paid women workers twice
in one day.
"Six and seven dollars a week for
experienced women is the prevailing
wage in this shop," Mr. Surasky said.
"The hours are unlimited, running as
high as sixty hours a week with no
pay for overtime. In addition, the
women were compelled to furnish the
pins necessary in making the gar
ments."
Mr. Surasky said the wages for
men were recently reduced to $14 and
$16 per week for from 50 to 60 hours
of labor. The workers were also re
quired to pay for repairs of the sew
ing machines.
When the last cut was decreed, the
employes appointed a shop commit
tee to present their grievances. The
manager refused to listen to them,
and the entire force walked out.
