...mean. Labor, according to Mr. Plumb, would not accept the present capitalization of the roads as a true statement of their worth. But how would the true worth be estimated? The courts have ruled that "just compensation" means payment at market value; Mr. Plumb says it does not--a bold assertion, indeed.

The frantic mobs in the streets of Moscow cannot compare to the lunch hour at Jimmie's. The pools of blood in the public squares at Patrograd...
