LII making :. plea against de-
ffi51eii',~ictt..cil Of private property
llgnts, John Il. hugeton, Pre-
sl.enO OF the National Associa-
1lun Of Manufacturers condemns
the political program 1er put
llng The government i'll the fie-
Lei of private endaayour, and
says:
. "Ihe overshadowing issue in
America today is, snail our To-
ments continue their socialist
cal, state and federal govern
ments continue their socialistic
entertainments upon the const-
ltctional prerogatives of their
constituencies, or shall an arr
ocsed citizenship rise up in the
majesty of a canly conscious
right and say to the governme-
Mt 'Getout Of all business, for
which you are not intended and
for which you are not qualified,
either by experience or nation
al ability, and go back to whe-
re you belong and stay there"
These are strong words, but
it is time for plain talk if the
American citizens is to save
for himself and prosperity the
right to private property and
free play for individual initia-
tive, which were SO highly pri-
Ized by cur forefathers and VIII
Ilch formed the basis of our con
Istltutional form Of government.
Public officials, overly inter
Iested in extending their sphere
OF activities, tell US that condit-
ions have changed and that the
refore, the government should
DO for the individual what the
Individual has heretofore has
been able to do for himself.
1t we admit this viewpoint we
admit that our national STAIN
ina is shipping, that we are not
as capable as our ancestors, and
that we are ready to become
lpaWns upon a paternalistic chess
board such as has denominated
Europe for centuries to the de-
5rlment of all it's people.

Reason and Instinct

The amount of conscious reason
that an ordinary man uses in his life
compared with the great unreason OF
blind impulse and Unborn tendency
thar impel him. is like his artificial
light compared with the light of day
indispensable on special occasions
is an artificial light in the sense that
it is not one with the light of nature
and in the sense that men possess it
in varying degrees. The lower ami
mails have only CLEAN of it now and
then. They are wise as the plants
and trees are wise. and are guided
by their Unborn tendencies. John
Burroughs.

PRECEDENT

The National Association of
Manufacturers mas protested
aginst Uncle Sans entrance in
10 the ileid of manufacture OF
power development as unfair to
private industry, which is COM
PEELED to pay taxes and insur-
nee and the like.
For some time now the govern
ment has beencompeting with
the printers of the country thru
it's practice of printing special
request return addresses on
stamped envelopes. And these
printers must pay taxes, insur-
ance, rent and all other expense
to which any form of private in
dustry is subjected.
This practice of printing enve-
lopes is dinkey business and bad
business for Uncle Sam. The
National Editorial Association
and other organizations are
Waging war upon it. Bills will
be introduced in both branches
of Congress to abolish the pract-
ice.
Congressmen who will be call
ed to vote on the bills are urged
to ponder President Coolidge's
statement that the Government
should get out Of business and
stay out. This includes, of cour-
Sc, the printing business.
If the bills fail, a new four
year contract between the Gov
eminent and the envelope man
ufacturers will probably be en-
tered into, and the practice will
be continued. Winning the fight
means giving industrial Ameri-
ca a precedent for attacks on
similar evils in other industries.
Winning means an understand
ing, too, that parentalism will
be postponed awhile.

SUPREMACY OF
NEWSPAPERS


Marconi, radio wizard, thus
compares the field of radio and
newspapers
the newspaper has this dis
tlnct advantage: 1t is a record.
You cannot paste radio announ-
cements in a scrap-book news
papers put the news down in
olack and white.
"Of course, the radio has it's
advantage. A radio impulse can
travel around the world in one
seventh of a second, and news
can be transmitted almost ms
UNANIMOUSLY"
The newspaper cannot give
the world the splendid musical
programs available through the
radio; but the press, he feels,
will always be the big power in
the world for expressing opin-
ion by rulers and statesmen,
and for the big events of news.
While the famous inventor
does not exactly sayit, the pre-
SIS is original and constructive
instead of being largely repe-
ating agency.
The newspaperman who res
poets and lives up to his priv
leges has a power above that of
a King. Even the radio is und-
er him.

PREDICTIONS IN
CROP PRICES END
President Coolidge Expresses
View That Forecasts Are
: Hazardous.

Washington Precipitating the
longest cabinet session since Presi-
dent Coolidge took office, the south's
protest against the government re-
port, which sent the cotton market
tumbling $3.50 a bale, resulted in an
order from Secretary Jardine prohibit
ing future predictions of price trends
by department of agriculture officials.
The cabinet session, which lasted
more than two hours, was followed
by announcement late in the day at
the White House th-t Mr.. Coolidge re-
CARDS as hazardous predictions by
government departments on the pos
-sible trend Of prices. However, it was
said, the chief executive will leave the
handling of the cotton situation to the
department of agriculture.
Mr.. Jardine remained with the
President long after others of the Of
fetal family had departed, and then
went back to his own office to rescind
a statement to the press which had
been prepared before the cabinet
meeting and held for release on his
return.
In announcing the restriction placed
upon the bureau of economics, Secre-
tary Jardine conformed to demands
from cotton producers, expressed
through Senators Caraway of Arkan
sas, Sheppard of Texas, Harris Of
Georgia and others.
