Guffev act didn't stand up, legislation that VIII

By this description, the Guffey act SOUNDS heip-
ful enough and altogether desirable, and perhaps
it is-or was, we should say. But 1t should De re-

Sterilization of the coal industry is, we suppose

there are literally millions of Americans who can
not use coal as a fuel because it costs too much
even without the Guffey act. There are other nun

The important exemption as tc

Burden Of proof would be put
on the seller and buyer and the
problem of showing costs is SO
complex that opponents and some
neutral outsiders say the burden
would be an impossible one.

ONE of the worst features bro,
~ posed, from the chain store
point of view, is an authorization
for the Federal Trade Commission
to decree top-quantity discount
limit on any given article, mean
ing that the government could
crack down by limiting the dis
count rate so that it wouldn't in
crease beyond certain maximum
quantities.

picked. Those who abhor big.

pendent retailer and favor any
thing within reason which will
prevent the big corporations from
gobbling him up.
On the other hand, there's the
consumer, half of whose dollar
spent for food goes to. those who
handle it before it reaches him

increased tremendously if the

Robinson quantity discount bill.
If this so-called "anti-chain
store" measure is passed in any
of its various proposed forms,

President Roosevelt will veto it
and give them a chance to study
the probable effects of such legis-
lation on the American people
and the American business struc-
ture.
Hardly anyone. except the pro-

have a grasp of the bills, and
their claims and counter-claims
are as far apart as the ends of the

THE "CODDLE" AGE


quoted William S, Mudd, southern news
paper man and author of the book. The
Old Boat Rocker" as saying that there are
no big men left IN the country, and the eX-
PLANTATION offered by the author is that con-
ditions have been too easy and soft to pro-
duce big men. He asserts that big men can
only be raised ION hard times. ST..
Mr.. Wamboldt's comment is that char
acter is not developed in ease and comfort
but under the stress of trouble in the bat
tie of life. A century of ease and comfort
would destroy this country, is, the view OF
Wamboldt. The Times-News believes half
a century would provide ample time for
that result. .. {. ..a.
MIR. Wamboldt drives hard with his
thoughts on the subject by saying that this
is the "coddle age, and as soon as the
country energies from this period it will
forge ahead again. .aaa A.>.,.t 81:
While it would seem that the period of
the depression" has been one of cOndl-
tons sufficiently hard to produce a vast
number of big men, if William S. Mudd's
philosophy is correct, it is true that out, of
the depression" has developed the most
gigantic system of "coddling" ever known
i'm any country in any age of history. One
does not need to be a prophet to foresee
the final consequences of this policy, if it is
prolonged; and the consequences viii be a
far worse result than the production of a
race of little men in this country. ,..-t..-
The "tcoddling" procesS-the .get-seme-
thing for-nothing system-as it is stunning
wild in this country at this time, will pro-
duee a large proportion of loafers and
parasites in the country's population. Pep
pie whose ideas and estimates of life is to
be able to live off other people, without
giving return for what they receive, or
to become wards of State or national gov
ernment, are multiplying at an alarming
..Nte. Loafers are multiplying; parasites
are multiplying; those who are slovenly
and Inefficient in the half-hearted efforts
made to bluff the public into believing that
they occasionally work, are multiplying
The present system is responsible for this
development h.-: -
There is no substitute for hard work, if
one has the desire and ambition to be a
self-respecting and respected citizen; and
the man who fears not hard work does not
fear hard times" For more than cen.
fury and half the United States has led
the world in the development of upstand-
ing and outstanding men and women from
average American material; and not one
person worthy to belong to this class has
been afraid of either hard times" or hard
work, and none of them had to be "eod
died" by government or their fellow citi
zenS. ,.. ....-. 80
The character of American manhood
and citizenship lauded by Wamboldt and
Mudd so long as it remains in the ma
Jority and ascendancy in q our social ,anc
economic order, is guarantee of the per
petuation. of our SYSTEM. of government
and our national success and prosperity.
the eoddlers and the coddled, however, be
come only a little more. numerous than a
present, look out for trouble.
