For Vertend and the Continent af@ tod States All Countries fn the International Postal Union + 0260 One Year ses 20)One Month IS “EARNING” THE WORD? “ey Steel Common earning $100 per share? The above prominently featured line in the advertise- ment of a Wall Street news agency i timed to draw attention to predictions now freely made that the United States Steel Corpora- tion will earn $100,000,000 or over in the current quarter. The question ought to be answered. And if Steel common is “earning” $100 per share, how many million shares of the stock of other erstwhile inflated, overcapitalized corporations are also “eurn- | ing” 100 per cent. return for those lucky enough to own them? Also, if @ constantly increasing number of the great incorporated interests, which represent the chief productive forces of the nation, are able to realize 100 per cent. profita on the par value of all the stock it has ever suited their policy to issue, how long before amaller busi- Bees men throughout the country—not to «peak of salaried and wage- earning consumers—will have to throw up their hands and adinit | that present prosperity is the most crushing load they have ever had te carry? One hundred per cent. profits are not collected from the air. Nor does the war supply their total. ‘The greater part of them are taken from the pockets of American consumers. The needs of the people of the United States have not decreased in the last two years. On the contrary. Yet to meet their normally growing requirements, people in the United States are now forced, by the big producers of their own nation, to pay abnormal prices which are fixed elsewhere. What European consumers will pay sets the standard for what American consumers can be made to pay. Very different is the process from that which holds when Eu- rope’s demands are normal. Take steel. Before the war the United States Stee! Corporation sold steel in Europe for less than it charged | buyers in this tariff-protected country. It found it more profitable to dump surplus steel abroad than to shave protection prices for the benefit of consumers at home. But now that steel brings an extraordinarily high price in Europe, has the Steel Corporation made any move to turn its profits to the advantage of the American buyer? Not by a long shot. The pri of most grades of steel in this country are more than double what they were three yeara ago. Last week steel rails were advanced an- other £5 per ton to $35, while steel forging billets were quoted yes- terday at $76 per ton. Stecl prices in Europe have no effect upon steel prices in the 1.8. A. so long as the former are the lower, But let prices that can iw obtained in Europe take a jump upward and the ateel interests in this country take care that prices here match leap with leap. When times were slacker heads of the United States Steel Cor- poration were wont to give the nation good advice on how to keep its industries steady and ite business on a sound and concrete basis, in| order that everybody might prosper according to his labors. to warn the country lately of the danger of advancing prices beyond all reason for the sake of a transitory 100 per cent. return, or of the monstrous injustice of piling up huge, uncarned profits at the ex-| penso of a wider and deeper national prosperity? WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO. HE young woman who made two new American aviation records in the course of her eight hour and fifty-five minute, flight from Chicago to New York deserves a lot of extra! oredit for the way she did it. If Mise Law had accomplished the 590 miles of unbroken flying between Chicago and Hornell, N. Y., in a big, up-to-date airplane, fitted with all the latest improvements and comforts, it would atil! have been a record feat. But the airplane makers would not believe that a woman could handle one of their large machines. So this} plucky aviatrice ret out in « emall propeller-pushed plane of only twenty-eight feet wing apread, with an undersized gas tapk and a motor little more than half the horsepower of that used by Victor Carletrom in his flight from Chicago Nov. 1, Mies Law's machine was of the older type, which provided no warmth or windshield for the followed her route from memoranda held inside one of her leather yioves. Yet, despite these handicaps, she outmanoeuvred wind and ng 1 belle © learn the fog, and with a larger gasoline tank would undoubtedly have achieved econ a non-stop flight from Chicago to New York, Tt would have been counted fine flying for the most experienced Mave saved, and 1 think that male aviator in a first class, up-to-date plane, The more credit, timo the therefore, to a woman who had the courage to attempt it and the erve to carry it through in an old atyle machine, which waa all “the dewa on men” would trust her with, |aay, Letters from the People. nnd D Are Correct. ~ BI000 ay To the Blinn of ‘The Krening Wold Tithe Fallon of The Keening World a wo ineert the correct] What is the salary of the Vice Prow- answer to following questions: [Ment of the United Bates yearly?
