In a political argument both side natura ally exaggerate That is part of the art of salesmanship. And a politician fs a salesman—marketing the services of himself and his ye ee all due respect to Candidate-For and Candidate- Against, truth or common sense is apt to be the happy medium about halfway between their rival claims. i In suggesting that the average politicians are spreading Zalse economics, we do not in particular have in mind any ew propositions being set forth. There is alt as much false economics in many of the old issues. .74. Take the old economic law (or claim is a better word) ;that prices are regulz ated hy Yay and demand. Every- fone admits t supply d demand have a lot to do with tit, But there are other factors that intervene to shape Prices—including monopolies, greed, loopholes in the laws, {Manipulation of markets, propaganda, and the pitiful con- {ition by which the consifmer is held up in so many cases *for the last penny he can stand. +. But the presidential campaign is teaching sound eco- Mnomics along with the distorted and false, because it making people THINK. Our national political circuses Feost a lot of money and disturb business conditions. They are worth all they cost, however, if for no other reason than that they periodic focus the public's attention on evils that are undermining political and economic democ- Tacy. , The wise man listens carefully to both side t is vefore decid- They Notice It ESTMENT BANKERS’ ASSOCIATION declares that railroads are facing a new menace in the extraordi- ‘mary development of the automobile and motor truck.” Nothing new. The layman has been noticing it for some past. The menace, too, is bound to grow amazingly strong. Atuto travel on the transcontinental raily is only in the inning, and the very serious competition of the airplane is bound to come. The whole matter of travel is something like what it was when the steam railroad supplanted the canal-boat. It is not to he wondered at that the menace ‘to railroad securities arouses investment bankers. * It is arousing railroad magnates and operators, from Magnate down to ticket agents, too. The trav reling public hears a whole lot less of “Take it or leave i nd much More of “What can we do for you?” than ky ly. Just Killers Y WAY of Chicago, whence all our thrills come of late, the news is sent broadcast that California is to have “a great hunting preserve.” Somewhere in the central portion of the state a 45,000-acre tract is to be fenced and » Stocked with “100 African lions, 40 Bengal tigers, 20 ' Ieopards, 100 pumas, 150 black bears, 1,000 buffalo and thousands of smaller game.” The “Pacific Coast Spor men’s club,” composed of wealthy Pacific Coast men, is back of the scheme, and “every member of the club will have the privilege of shooting one animal of each variety a year.” Fenced, of course, but who ever heard of a fence that ' would suffice to confine wild animals? This one adds danger to life and property to its gamble on such frail security. As a “sporting” proposition, the project is even more Tepulsive than its menace to its prospective neighborhood. Tt contemplates the importation of hundreds of heads of Vicious vermin whose natural habitat is thousands of miles away, and for what? Not for food. Not for health. Not for sane, recreative pastimes. No, none of these, but simply to satisfy the blood-lust of a few misguided men. Sportsmen? Not one in a thousand years, or within a thousand miles. Just killers who kill for the thrill of it. It is abominable. It should be stopped. Those German Bonds SEEMS likely that we'll see the World War fought all over again, after a fashion. Printing houses are busy getting out boosters for sale of the new German bonds, ahd you will soon see advertise- ments offering the bonds. On the other hand, bankers and brokers who are not in ‘on the Wall Street rake-off on these German bonds greatly prefer that the public put its money into something else, and already there is some publicity knocking German bonds as a hazardous investment. When gambler goes to knifing gambler there must be hot times, and it is possible that you will see one contingent of the American press pounding Germany and another ne for her.
