SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen One of the best similes of the year Was perpetrated bY Bugs Baer of the New York American, who described something _ at being “‘as cruel as sending Gandhi to bed without his supper.” Prince Saijoni of Japan recently said: “He who would be a politician in my coun- try can not say what he thinks, can not write what he says, has to be a hypocrite and at times tell lies.” We did not realize before that Japan and the United States ‘were so much alike. The birth of seven boy babies, all liv- ing, to a woman in San Pedro, Colombia, recently reported, is perhaps the most re- _ markable event of its kind in recent years. But in his new book, “The History of Child- birth,” Dr, Palmer Findley of the Univer- sity of Nebraska tells of an Italian woman of medieval times who bore nine babies at om: time and ‘spel at peda gensces fathis, 1 141 reporter for an At- hk paper, scored a perfect a nal thereby. Won a national prize. Gill, sports editor of the Constitution, she did not find him in. Not daunted, she pro- ceeded to inspect his office, desk and other paraphernalia, and then wrote “An Inter- view With a Man Who Wasn't Present.” So cleverly did she do her story that it gained her the award of a scholarship. An Associated Press dispatch tells of one citizen who has kicked over the traces in protest against the NRA. Ben A. Pearsall, head of a dairy product firm at Elgin, Ill, employing about 100 workers, announced that he would close his plant. He expressed the opinion that the NRA was “all coercion and fear, bluff and boycott,” and that he would go out of business “un- til it blows over.” - It is widely known that Stalin's par- ents were peasants and that Mussolini was once a hod carrier. paper publishes a story by an engraver named Heinhold Hanish, who declares that Chancellor Hitler of Germany lived charity in 1909, and later supported him- self in méager fashing by painting and sell- ing Christmas.catds.

It would be horrifying to most people if someone were to suggest the establish- ment of a national lottery in order to pay the national debt with proceeds of the gov- ernment’s rake-off. We are not suggesting such a thing, but it would not be entirely without precedent, even in this Christian land, according to the Tampa _ Tribune, which reminds that: In 1612 a loitery was authorized for the benefit of the strugg!ing Virginia col- ony. Faneuii Hall in Boston, “the cradle of liberty,” was rebuilt by lottery aid be- At least four dif- ze-ent lotteries were conducted for the benefit of Harvard College in its early | days. Funds iu: prosecuting the Revolution were raised to a considerable extent by means of lotteries. In 1779 Massachu- séits receive’ a rakeoff of more than $40,- 000 from a state lottery. In 1793, funds for the establishment of the nation’s capi- tal in Washing ‘on were aided by the same means. | There sre only a few instances of the | employment of lotteries in aid of commer- cial, educational, charitable and other landible purposes during our national his- tory. In fact, it was not until 1890 that Congress enacted any law forbidding the; use of the mails to lottery enterprises. | Even today,.we have many prize | schemes which are virtually lotteries, in- cluding the well-known church raffle, at | which the constituted authorities wink, if they deign to notice it at all. | THE FACTS ABOUT RAILROAD RATES \ ee | The Interstate Commerce Commission | recently rendered a most interesting rail- It concerned the rates | charged by the carriers for handling freight. It completely blasts any supposition that rates are too high, and that the rail- roads are enjoying a financial feast at the expense of starving shippers. In the first quarter of 1933 the average rate per ton- mile charged was about 22 percent below the 1920 peak, and about 11 percent be- low the 1922 level, when a general reduc- tion of 10 percent was ordered. Some rates have been reduced as much as 50 percent. If, according to the Commission, rates were again reduced by 10 percent as com- pared with the 1931 level, the carriers as a whole would fail to meet their fixed expen- ses—as distinct from profits and surpluses —by over 20 million dollars during the next 12 months. With rates 25 percent below those of 1931, net incume would fall short of fixed charges by. about $500,- 000/000. The result would be that many more carriers would be forced into. receiv- erships, with serious loss to investors, un- less governméntal aid were extended—in which case the general public, instead of the shipper, would be called upon to foot the freight bill. The railroads’ credit would be permanently impaired. In conclusion, the report says: “The country is not ready to abandon its rail- roads. We believe that it is otir duty to do that wh.-h represents the greatest promise of preserving in operation the ef- ficient failroad mileage of the country. General reduction in rates would tend to idefeat.that.end.”, - y The Interstate Commerce Commission has long been celebrated for dispassionate analysis and freedom from influence of any kind. — It deals with facts, not wild suppo- sitions. This decision should take the wind out of the sails of those who charge the railroads with generally extortionate rate levels. HOW TO RUIN A BOY (ingham County News, Mason, Mich.) If a boy has a heritage of good health, good common sense and a taste for the! better things of life he has no need of an} inheritance of cash. In fact, in so many cases the money actually brings about the} ruination of young men and boys. Money is a handicap to a normal boy. He can | have more fun without it than he can with | it. Good advice for parents is not to | create too much wealth for coming genera- tions. Instead of aiding them to enjoy life | on}; the parents may actually be forcing their | descendents to languish in prison cells. } Children should be willed something of im- portance—good examples, health, charac- ter, willingness to work and other things Money, beyond enough | pay for necessities, is of so little value.
