Government Can't Do 1t.

A reader of this paper says that he has tried
to read everything he found on the railroad meas
ure, and can't make head or tail OF it. The
reason is that there isn't any head or tail to It.
The railroads say that the government owes them
money; they admit they owe the government
money. If this were true between two individu-
ais, one debt would offset the other, and that
would be all of it. But in this case the railroads
need $500, 900, 600 SO the government will raise
the money for them through the war finance cor
poration, presumably because it can do 50 on bet
ter terms than the roads could obtain But the
government will wait ten or fifteen years for
what the roads owe to it.
The same man wants to know what about this
agricultural aid business. How is the govern
ment going to bring prosperity? OF course the
only use for an appropriation Of money will be to
hold prices of produce up. This doesn't mean
that the farmer would get the increase, but the
men who deal in the products of his farm. 1t
the farmer should get share. he would have
more than his ordinary luck.
The rush to the government for everything
doesn't mean that new way has been discovered
of creating prosperity. There is no magic about
revolving fund" that makes money grow
where there was none before. The fund has to
come out of taxes or bond issues to start with.
and on top of that the increased taxes have to
be paid by the consumer. And when there is
money for all this, it will be spent for the things
the consumer wants. When there is none, rails
ing prices won't help much.
We have had government in the railroads and
the roads going to government for period, but
people are now discovering that back be-
fore the government got mixed up with the rail
roads they could function.
After ALL what is government? Merely
collection of persons like ourselves whom we have
chosen, not always wisely to manage certain OF
our joint affairs. But they have no magic by
virtue of being government to make prosperity
where there is none. All that the effort to do
this has brought is more taxes and more ineffici-
ency. You can postpone day of settlement
with bond issue, but in the end the whole bill
has to be Milwaukee Journal.
