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 fit to copy, here or anywhere., Christ, to our Halloween Partv Enjoyed By BPWC The Nevada City BPWIC enjoyed Halloween games and a potluck supper last night at the Scout Lodge. Pat Jackson) Mary Davies, Helen Berger and Dorothy Waggoner had charge of the affair being ably assisted by Ida Mae Foote. 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.
