UNITED STATES WORLDS BIGGEST BUSINESS.

REPRESENTATIVE HARDY OF Colorado ha
ksN5written a most comprehensive article on th'
United States as business institution, which vii
Se6interesting and instructive to every citizen.
part OF the article follows:
The greatest business institution in all the
world Is the United States OF America Its
one hundred and ten millions OF people are
its stockholders. They enjoy great liberty
and freedom under It's laws, and protection
from the enemies Of liberty within and with
out the borders of our land. For this We pay
the bills. The bills are presented and col.
lected in the shape OF various forms OF
taxes
The Congress may be said to represent the
board of directors OF this great business In
stitution. Tho President heads the executive
branch Of the business. In 1918 the people
who are stockholders became dissatisfied with
the management OF their affairs and they
changed the board Of fredericksburg a
Republican Congress In 1920 the entire exc
gcutive branch OF the government was changed
by the election OF q Republican President and
another Republican Congress. Only since
March 4, 1921, has the entire management OF
business affairs OF the country been In the
< hands OF Republicans.
1t is quite proper that the stockholders
should begin to look into the conduct Of their
afairs under this new management. They
should not expect too much in this short
time, but they are entitled to know how things
are running.
You can not take rundown business en-
by Esstcful and extravagant management and
correct all Its faults and put 1t back on u
bIg-payinS basis in day or year. 1t re-
qutres time for new management to correct
the evils change policies, train new forces OF
employees and retain old ones. eliminate
GNastetul practices. and reorganize the enter.
prise generally.
D. This new administration has not done
Z everything that may have been proposed by
ideRllats Tor 1t to do.
But 1t has done in one short year more
than any business man would year ago have
seriously predicted It could do.
1t has done more toward getting the
country back on a solid business basis than
any serious-minded campaign orator ever
promised the people 1t would do.
This Republican Congress and Republican
& administration have
