THE BUSINESS MAN IN POLITICS

THE BUSINESS MAN IN POLITICS
Just now the country is complain
ing that there is too much legislation
directed against business, that legis-
lators, in the forums of the states
and the nation, adopt laws to please
prejudice or to satisfy political ends
without considering the effect on
legitimate business.
But when you approach the aver
age business man and ask him TO
take an interest in electing compe-
tent men to office he replies that ne
Is not in politics.
The business man ought to be in
politics. He ought to take def
mite part in the choosing OF those
who are to make and execute our
laws. In NO work of his life can
he do more for himself or for his
community than right here. Unless
the business men go into politics IN
the best sense, unless they take an
interest in the affairs Of government,
it follows that government will be
left to the hands OF the professional
politicians, the shysters and the in
competents. Then when the man OF
affairs who has property and trade
interests at heart complains that
business IL injured by ill-digested
legislation, by laws that hamper ana
restrict business expansion, he has
NO logical excuse for his position.
He did not do his part in politics.
which il after all but the science OF
governing the state and nation.
Never, was there q time in the his
tory Of the nation when clear-headed
business men were more needed in
our legislatures and In congress than
today. This is essentially . business
age and it may very readily, through
the reckless legislation, be turned
into an age Of disruption and de-
preston. The place for the business
man IL in the forefront Of the gov
ernment's activities to the end that
business may be given q chance for
honest development.
Mr.. Business Man, do not be AFRAID
to take part in politics Il Is your
