DEPENDENCE REPLACES
INDEPENDENCE

A citizen of Henderson county who Is
in a position to know what he was talking
about-in fact, no citizen Of the county IS
better informed as to eOnditions-made
this assertion to The Times-News: .
If the federal government had not spent
a dollar for relief in Henderson county no
person would have starved. The net re-
suit of the relief program is the education
of large number of people to be depea-
dent and not independent.
That is, it seems to The Times-News, a
fair and impartial summary of what has
been accomplished in this county
Conditions in other sections of the coun-
try may be different. Perhaps people
would have starved in some sections OF
the country without federal government
aid. In Henderson county this would not
have happened. 1t is a fact that goyerh-
ment relief has made no permanent cor
tribution to the solution of any OF our
problems. 1t was temporary relief and has
not put anyone on the road to lasting pros
perity or aided anyone materially to I'M
prove their economic condition.
What is true in this county must be true
in every county in the United States, IN
varying degree. In many counties millions
have been distributed by the government
while hundreds were being distributed
here If dependency has been encouraged
and independence destroyed among our
people, the effects throughout the Unite ]
States must be of such magnitude as to be
difficult to estimate. ... .... g.,
The Times-News is not undertaking to
say that the country could have survived
without the distribution of government re-
lief cash and commodities, We are only
calling attention to what are certainly the
net results of the relief policy. The indie
pendence and morale of millions of citi-
zens have been broken down, and in the
future they will be found looking to the
government to feed and care for them.

John w. Davis, one time Democratic
candidate for President, has issued one Of
the strongest statements that has been
seen or heard, on conditions in this coun-
try. He calls attention to close to million
people on federal payrolls, and only FIVE
of the number were voted into their places
by any one voter of the country. The
American voter casts his ballot for presi-
dent, vice-president, two United States
senators and congressman. Several hun
bred thousand federal employees and Of
ficials were appointed to their jobs. The
people did not elect them. On a vote of
the people, majority of them probably
would lose their jobs. The issue, as Mr..
Davis sees it, is Bureaucracy against De-
mOcracy.

What price beer?
The question is Frequently
asked Why we are not having a
large glass of beer for nickle.
According to Adolph Busch, III,
president of Annheuser-Busch,
Inc., of St. Louis, the main reason
is high taxation imposed by fed.
erAI, state and city governments.
Writing in the Western Brewer,
the national brewers monthly,
Mr.. Busch says in part:
."The most serious problem in
the brewing industry today is not

carried considerable weight with
the members of congress in bring
ing about its legalization. The
brewing industry. having been
paralyzed by the prohibition legis-
lation, was quite ready to assume
whatever burden Of taxes the fed
eral government put upon its pro-
ducts. 1t was, at the time, the
only way out for the industry. The
leaders of the industry who APP
peared before the House Ways
and Means Committee, in the
presentation of these arguments,
called the attention Of the COM
mittee to the fact that while the
industry was willing to pay So a
barrel tax on beer, they believed
the government would derive a
greater revenue from lower tax.
Forecast Correct
"Tha lapse of year has proved
that this forecast was correct. The
volume of beer sales from April
IL, 1888, to Dec. 81, with beer
legal in more than three times the
territory in which it was legal in
1916, was equal to only two-fifths
of the volume of sales for the same
period of 1916. State and local
| governments, finding themselves
in equally as great need for
:, revenues as the federal govern
ment, also laid additional heavy
burdens of taxes upon the brew
ing industry.
Consequently, the value OF
sales Is reduced all along the line
to the economic disadvantage OF

government, and the consuming
