was_in ancient Babylon.
And Many Others
Babylon was not the last nor the
worst. . Another notable catastronh:
took place about 900 years later a:
a result of the wage and price freezing provisions of the Hittite Code
Popular pressure in Asia Minor influenced this casé, but served to
prove how even the enciert rulers
ran afoul of sore resentment against
their impractical tinkering with
freedom of private enterprise.
France’s egoistic Philip IV_ took
prices in hend and created a rainfu
scarcity of bread and clothing six
centuries beforé Hitler. Three o:
more English kings took turns at
issuing edicts against natural laws
no less silly than Canute’s orderins
the tides not to come in. Withou
fail, price control systems have
finally created scarcity instead oO
improving ‘production.
The Emperer’s-OPA
The congressman’s most colorft'
example was Rome. About. 30°
years before the birth of Christ, Emperor Diocletian set up a sort oi
OPA for-the-whole-Roman-Empire—
Propaganda went out first, in an ei
fort to sell the public on the ide:
that rulers were much smarter tha:
mere people, After the edict, came
a record-breaking swarm of minis
ters and magistrates to enfort< .
prices. \
Did the emperor make his prices
hold? He did not! He fixed a death
penalty on people who bought or sold
above the ceiling but Diocletian had
his little undercover problems like
all the others who went in for governmental price manipulation. Not
many ‘‘offenders’’ were executed.
Magistrates took bribes, prices rose
anyhow and overflowed into blackmarkets’ without number.
Taxes Climbed Higher
An interesting sidelight on the
Roman affair was that all kinds of
building stopped, arts and sciences
fell into decay to such an extent that
people almost forgot about excellence. They fashioned. and used
makeshifts exclusively. Good craftsmen went jobless, big business men
fled into exile and small business
men went bankrupt and hungry
And Rome fell.
But before the final collapse, before the tramp of armed aliens is
heard in the streets, rulers, whe
have ruined the wealth of their
country and the prosperity of their
subjects, run out of money themselves. A humgry and angry people
chased Diocletian out of Rome but
his-evil work was done. Taxes were
devastating until Rome was a ruin.
History has not one price-fixing plar

PROBLEM OF INTOXICATION
The problem of. intoxicated drivers and pedestrians is becoming increasingly acute, declares Bert Stewart, public safety director of National Automobile Club. Statistics
compiled by the Department of Motor Wehicles show that prior to the
war 8.5 per cent of all drivers involved in fatal or personal injury
accidents had been drinking, Dut
during the first four months of 1946
this figure increased to 13.8 par
cent. A similar increase is likewise
reported for pedestrians. The driver
or walker who has been drinking is
a menace to himself and others; his
slowed reaction, eratic maneuvers
and unpderictable actions are a hazard with which none — driver or
walker, can successfully cope. The
only safe plan for those who drink
is not to drive or expose themselves
to traffic after imbibing.
In 1873 a seawall several blocks
east of the then shoreline at San
Francisco was under construction to
enable ships to unload directly at
the city’s wharves.
