IS AMERICAN INITIATIVE AND ENTER
PRISE A MYTH?

The people of the United States have
a reputation for initiative and enterprise
They start things and they finish
them.
They have chance now to DEM
onstrate their ability as never before.
Everyone is waiting for business to
pick up" But business won't pick up of
its own accord. It will pick up when the
desire and the determination to do some
thing rises again in our national con-
seriousness.
There are about rs or 80 million
families in the United States. This means
are actual producers.
Payrolls depend on construction ac-
tivity-the building and upkeep of homes,
factories and enterprises which consume
every imaginable product.
Building has been going down steadily
for the past several years until it has be-
come almost stagnant. Thousands of struc-
lures are deteriorating because of lack of
repairs, paint rotting foundations, leaky
plumbing, worn out heating plants, crumb-
ling chimneys and thousand and one
other things which have been let go.
Never in years could repair work or
new construction be done as cheaply as
today.
There are millions of individuals and
industries in this country that have savings
and are we'll able to carry on necessary
improvements now.
Starting few million jobs, varying in
amounts from ten dollars to few thousand
dollars each, would release an avalanche
of money and start the wheels of industry.
Employment would increase; our
nation would take heart and commerce
and industry would slowly regain normal
stride.
Before long this improvement would
be reflected in other nations.
No amount of legislation or political
panaceas involving increased taxation and
greater public burdens, can do fraction
of the good that the people can do for
themselves by exercising our much priced
American initiative and enterprise.
Do it now! Investment and employ
ment are cheaper than charity!

CURLING A NUISANCE

For several years numerous in
dividuals and firms have greatly annoyed
citizens throughout the country by send
ing them articles of merchandise, which
had not been ordered, by mail ION ap-
prevail"
Recipients of these unsolicited pack
ages of merchandise, usually hosiery, neck
ties and other articles of no great value,
have apparently accepted the stuff and
paid for it in large percentage of cases,
thus encouraging the spread of the prac-
tice.
Senders of these goods have at
tempted to secure payment from unwilling
customers by means of tracers sent through
regular postal channels, thus apparently
making the Post Office Department a
party to the scheme. This has been re-
scented by the department, which now pro-
poses legislation making these annoying
practices an offense against the postal
laws, measure which will doubtless meet
with general approval on the part of the
public
Until this nuisance shall be curbed by
official action, intended victims might
adopt measures of their own similar to that
employed by a certain physician, who re-
ceived 50 package of socks which had
not been ordered.
Instead of sending the money, he
wrote a letter enclosing a prescription
which he assured the sender of the mer-
chandise to be worth 50 and asked that the
account be balanced. The mail order man
evidently possessed a sense of humor-at
any rate he accepted the prescription and
let it go at that.

This last day of the month car
ries more force than power of ae-

more by strange impulses than by
reason. Remember that more will

You may carry your point for the
moment, but danger follows close
in such cases.
