* MI S'I DKMAND FAIR DEAL
If you happen to be one of the
million or ho investors in electric
light and power companies in the
United States, you have undoubtedly
read words simifar to the following
in the annual statement of your company:
"In addition to the serious problems
peculiar to the electric light and
power industry, the most immediately
serious of which are.the rapid rise in
taxes and labor and material costs
on the one hand, and the demand for
rate rtduvtio'rts throughout the country'on
the other hand. Many utility
companies in the United States aie
faced with competition by the construction,
through the use of Federal
funds, of unneccesary and duplicating
et*ctrie power plants arid distribution
systems. It is hoped, however,
that the public utility industry, in
common with all other industries,
will be permitted through the maintenance
of just and reasonable rates,
to meet the added cost of doing business
and to share fairly with others
" in the return of national prosperity."
That is a nice polite way of telling
you that your savings invested in
the electric industry are threatened
with destruction by . competition of
tax-exempt publicly owned plants,
built with funds supplied or guarantied
by public treasuries;

From One Who Knows
The ( a unit i; Chronicle is 10 years
old. Ab^iut half that time under-the
guidance of Editor N'iles, and for 15
years, under his sole ownership. A
fine recur!, and a good newspaper.
A weekly newspaper, at heat, in our
Judgment, is not a profitable business,
and has many handicaps to overcome.
For this reason, success is an
achievement. It is remarkable that
so few in South Carolina have given
up the ghost in this depression.
Especially so in view of the fact that
a good many can lay small claim to
superiority and popularity. We are
constrained to think that they can
work uncomplaining on small stipends,
and economize with a nicety that
ought to put the average growling
white-collar jobholder to shame.- ?

Capital Observations
(Special Correapomlence)
Washington, April 10.--Kvery year
about this time during the Spring a
great sight in Washington is the
magnificant display of cherry blossoms.
Some twenty-five years ago
the Japanese government as a token
of good will .sent over 8,000 -trees,
which were planted along a lengthy
drive-way beside the I idal Basin,
dose to the Potomac Kiver. The trees,
bloom but do not Ix'ur fruit, a pity |
perhaps, these hard times. Thousands j,
upon thousands of tourists come (
through to see the display. The business
organizations make the most of
the situation, advertising very extensively,
with good results. 'I his
year, during next week, there is to
bo a 3-day cherry blossom "festival".1
(hung to the recent cold weather the
blooms a; e ^uinewhat late this Sp;ing, ;
but will be at their best within a lew
days.

The United States Government is
getting back at European nations
which are in default on debts contracted
in connection with and as a
result of the World War. A bill has
passed Congress and is ready for the
signature of the President, who approves
it is understood, barring
American citizens from engaging in
! financial transactions with foreign
countries which have failed to meet
their obligations to our government,
j This will be a heavy blow to the de'
faulting countries whose bonds canj
not henceforth be marketed here,
where hertofore there has been exjten-ivo
business done in that line.

administration. Among the number

'(ireenway. Representative from Ari-*
zona, widow of a Legionnaire and
j close personal friend of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt.
?
Regarding Mrs. Greenway, just
mentioned above, a peculiar and unusual
condition exists in the capitol
burUtftrg. She is on the floor of the
House <ii Representatives, and there
is a ' statue of her husband in
Statuary Hall, on the same floor, he
having served gallantly during the
World War. As is perhaps generally
known under an existing law each
State is permitted to erect in
Statuary Hall the statues of two emiin.-nt
deceased citizens. The two from
| South Carolina are those of .John ( .
: Calhoun and Wade Hampton.

Order Prescribes
Posting of Codes
Charleston, S. C., April 10.?On
February 8th the President, by executive
order, authorized the Administrator
for Industrial Recovery to
prescribe rules requiring persons subject
to approved Codes of Fair Computation
to post the provisions of .?uch
Coirs. Pursuant to this order, the
Administrator issued regulations on
Fibruary 2>:h. providing that within
45 pay- from that date, or 45 days
Ton the date of approval of a Code,
whichever: is the later, each employer
mu.-t make application for official
copies of the labor provisions of each
Code to which he is subject.
This means that for those Codes
approved prior to February 28, the
deadline for making an application is
April 14. This distribution is being
handled by the various National Code
Authorities, but due to the delay in
organizing Local Code Authorities in
a number of trades and induatrie-s,
the National Code Authorities have
been unable to reach all the employers
with application forms. This is
especially true in the Rostaurant
Trade, the Cleaning and Dyeing Industry,
the Trucking Industry, and in
many parts of the country in the Retail
Trade and in the Retail Coal
Trade. If any employer subject to a
Code has not received these application
forms, we shall arrange from
this office to supply them with same
through the Compliance Hoards in
[South Carolina. Therefore those emI
plover- who do not receive their
l forms from Code Authorities should
I Compliance Boards and obtain
f.om^ from them, fill out properly,
and mail immediately, preferably to
th-ir particular Code Authorities; or
tj \ RA ;r.i \\ ashington. No po-t&ge
is required.
cer.se tag situation to accomplish a
purpose. Previously owners of machines
in considerable numbers would
not apply for a license until April
first, the beginning of the second
quarter, and then for only the remaining
nine months of the year.
The cost of licenses varies, but is
very high in any case, and the idea
was to save the quarter of the cost,
not having a tag during the first
three months of the calandar year
when generally the weather is severe.
So the license year was changed
to commence the first of April,
when one must get a licen.-e for a
year or get nothing.

Auto Membership
Round-up of Legion
The first annual Auto Membership
Round-Up of The American I^egion
| of South Carolina will be held In Columbia,
Friday, May 11th. According
to Department Adjutant, CJoudelock,
it is expected that more than 4,000
membership cards will be received at
that time.
A large victory meeting will be
held at the Jefferson Hotel at 8 P.
M. on May 11th celebrating this unusual
event. The contest is expected
to put The legion in this state "Over
Tho Top" in so far as membership
quota is concerned. Many worthwhile
prizes, such as watches, rings, and a
Le Fever shot gun, are to bo awarded
to individual members, Past and De*
partment Officials for their member*
! ship activities..
It is believed that many disabled
veterans whose compensation has just
j recently been restored will now bo
able to renew thei 1 membership in
the greatest veterans organization in
the history of the world.
Several National Officers of The
Legion, including Watson B. Miller,
National Rehabilitation Officer, are
expected to be present at the meeting,
on May 11th. Mr. Miller is said to
know more about veterans' laws than
any other man in the country.
FACING FACTS
C* # !
Iyong ago we predicted that the
government would be finally forced
to take o\er the railroads. This view
is now occasionally voiced from high
sources. A recent issue of The Chicago
News has no doubt about this
outcome. It seems inevitable. All
! signs point to that end. Look around
I for yourselves. The merchants have
! practically quit shipping by railway
' freight. There was a heavy sale of
1 muie> here this winter. Did you see
! one Balaam's ass come in by train?
The eottnn (every bale) now goes by
trucks. So tloes most of the fertilizer
bu-iness. Under existing condi-'
' tions they can't survive, except under
the government, as a wet nurse, and
at stunning losses. We are not
"cussing" anybody, just stating facts.
Your heaviest taxpayer is doomed.?
