WHAT LIES BEHIND TALK
OF MONOPOLY?
Apparently we are entering Into
another era of trust-busting—or at
least talk of trust-busting. “Playing
monopoly’’ seems about to become
more popular as a political game
than it ever was as a parlor game.
Perhaps a little digging into the
theory, the philosophy, back of the
monopoly discussion won’t do any
harm.
Nobody defends monopoly. Every-
body, capitalist or workman, joins
in the cry that it is wrong. There-
fore it would seam to violate some-
thing which Americans generally
regard as fundamental.
What is this fundamental idea?
The general thought is very simple:
If all goods are made by Individuals
who sell them in free competition
with the goods of any other indi
viduals aiming at the same market,
the consumer will get the break. He
will get his goods at the lowest pos-
sible prices, because the competition
between sellers will constantly tend
to force all prioes down to the low-
est point where the lowest-cost pro-
ducer can make & profit.
That is the theory, and up to now
it is certainly true that it has caus-
ed a greater variety and quantity
of goods to be distributed here
among more people than any other
system in any other country.
Periodically there are great waves
of protest that monopolies have
sprung up, destroying the competi-
tive principle that is the heart of
our manner of doing things. That
means simply that one man or one
organization has such complete con-
trol over the making and selling of
one article that he can charge what
he likes, right up to the last cent
people can pay.
That is the theory. But like all
theories, in practice it turns out to
have been too simple. We long ago
decided that some things must be
monopolies. The nuisance of two
competing street-car lines rurining
down the same street and two com-
peting telephones on every desk, had
to be eliminated.
We have never admitted the com-

MEW impetus to stampcoilecting

ed to any student, group of stu-
dents or philatelic organization at
any college in the United States,

petitive theory internationally but
have always set up tariffs to keep
foreigners from competing in our
markets. In many fields we have
removed labor from competition by
setting up close-shop "monopolies”
of labor in certain fields; even the
U. S. Supreme Court has said that
labor is not a commodity to be sold
to the lowest bidder.
Recently we had the NRA, which
permitted suspension of competition
certain other conditions were
met. Still more recently we had the
Guffey-Vinson law suspending com
petition in soft coal, and the Mill-
er-Tydings law permitting price-fix-
ing by agreement in oertain fields.
The anti-trust laws, passed some
30 years ago to try to keep compe-
tition effective by making "com-
binations in restraint of trade” un-
lawful, have been largely ineffective.
The object of the coming discus-
sion of monopoly is to find out just
what we want to do in regard to
competition, and make laws that
will do It.

Mayor Recovers
Town’s Stolen
Water Works
GROVETON (UP)—Mayor W. L.
Gibson tinned the spigot. No water
came. The mayor sent down to the
waterworks and found that someone
had stolen almost the whole works.
Gibson conferred with several of
the 1,500 residents of the town and
then set out for Houston, Tex., 125
miles away to get a new water sys-
tem.
A Houston salesman offered a
second-hand pump and fixtures.
“Those are mine,” declared Gib-
son.
Other missing parts were recover-
ed from various junk dealers where
they had been sold by the thieves.
