P POLITICAL
A ASININITY Y

The latest piece OF anti-consumer
legislation to be drafted in Wash
ington is the Patman Federal chain
store excise tax proposal. Patterned
after legislation of similar nature
that has time and again come before
state legislatures. the Patman bill
touches new high in the current
trend toward soaking The consumer.
The Patman measure would levy
an excise tax upon the units Of chain
store systems, beginning with a tax
of $50 per store on chains not in ex-
cess of 10 stores. and ranging up
ward to $1,000 per store for each
store in excess of 500.
This is another sample of asininity
that prolongs depressions, raises the
cost of living and hampers legitimate
private enterprise. 1t is a punitive
sincere thought of curbing monopoly

BAD Politics

A bill is about to be introduced in
Congress which, If adopted, would
virtually abolish the present eff
cient system of mass merchandising
as exemplified by the retail chain
stores. Reason given for this dras-
tic proposal is that the chains are a
dangerous monopoly and punitive
measures should be taken to assure
their destruction. The fact that
such reasoning is easily REPUTABLE
and entirely unfounded, seems to be
beside the point so far as the sup
porters Of the bill are concerned.
Government surveys prove beyond
a doubt that the chain stores are not
a monopoly, never have been, and
show no indication of ever becom-
ing such. In 1929-a peak year in
American business history-there
were 1879 500 independent stores in
the United States. In 1935-the lat
est year for which government fig
ures are obtainable-there were l.
474,149 independent establishments
or $3.50 more than in the boom
year, 1929. During this same per-
iod, the number of chain stores de-
creased from 159.63S in 1929 to 1884,
$40 in 1885. On the basis of govern
ment figures, therefore, the individ-
ual retailers of America, nationally,
bettered their store position by per
cent; while the chain stores of the
country lost ground to the extent of
IL per cent!
In view of these figures it is
poor policy and bad politics to at
tack chain stores with charges of
monopoly. The chains help bring
the necessities of life to the con-
sumer with greater efficiency and at
less cost than ever before. And the
competition of growing.
wide-awake independents. If nothing
else. makes the talk of chain mon
opoly" ridiculous.

RADIANT LIVING
Open Water
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
Sudlersville. Nd.
Open Water

One Sunday morning as a young
man was walking along the beach
at Brighton, he became conscious of
the voice of God which seemed to
say: "Hundson Taylor. I am going
to evangelize Inland China, and il
you will walk with Me, I will do il
through you"
The young man responded to the
divine call. He placed his future
into the hands of God and became
the honOred founder of the China
Inland Mission.
1t might be that the Lord is say
ing within your soul: Ambition has
painted an alluring future upon the
canvas of your aspirations, but l
have a larger purpose for your life
which, if you will walk with Me. /
will work out for you in the days
that are to come"
Many life is spent in some back
waters in utter stagnation. where.
like a twig of dogwood blossoming
out SO beautifully in its new spring
robe of purity finally reddens and
falls into the green Shiny surface
of the stagnant pond over which it
had so proudly swayed. And there it
remains until, becoming waterlog-
ged or weighed down by falling
leaves, it gradually sinks into the
ooze and muck and mud at bottom.
But God has not intended that you
should have such a destiny. God
wants his men to come out from the
limitations of small ponds, narrow
creeks, crooked rivers, restricted
coves, and to stand out across the
wide unbounded stretches of open
where. with His controlling |
hand upon the helm, He may pilot
rou into the attainment of that lar
ger purpose which He had in life
or you-a life which God Himself
will bring into full perfection of
beauty, power and success.
