FEDERAL COMPETITION

If a private corporation were to use
the same methods to drive a competitor
out of business as are employed by the
government in competition with private
enterprise, the Federal Trade Commission
would go into action Immediately.
In other words, it appears that we
have one legal standard of ethics for pri-
vate business and an entirely different
standard for the government. The fact is
that there seem to be no rules whatever
that government agency is bound to OBJ
serve in competition with private enter
prises.
An illustration of this is seen i'm what
is happening to the electrical industry.
Private companies are being put out of
business or seriously crippled through
government subsidy of publicly owned dis
tribution systems, supplied with power
generated by Federal hydroelectric dams
built through an enormous and wasteful ex-
penditure of public funds
In decision which is now being ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme Court,
lower Federal court ruled that private
power companies were not entitled to any
protection against government encroach-
ment, although their business might be
curtailed or even destroyed.
If this principle should be allowed to
stand, no industry would be safe from
possible destruction at any time the gov
ernment decided to enter its field in pur-
suance of a socialistic program.

VETERANS IN CONGRESS

Veterans of the World War do not
appear to be as active in politics as were
those oflthe Civil War, at least so far as
getting elected to Congress is concerned,
according to a tabulation made by Fred w.
Perkins. Scripps-Howard staff writer.
This conclusion is reached by compar-
ing the 15s veterans in Congress at pres
ent, 20 years after the Armistice, with the
16S in 1885, 20 years after Lees surrender
at Appemattox. This difference in num-
bers is the more significant because the
total membership of Congress is now 531,
while in 1885 it was only 500. In other
words, with % more members of Congress
now, there are 10 less veterans.
In 1885 there were 35 veterans of the
Civil War in the Senate, which then had
a total of rs members. OF these 35 vet
Grams, Is had served in the Union forces
and II were former Confederates. At
present there are only Is veterans in the
Senate, which now has 90 members
I'm the House there were 1873 veterans
in 1885. 81 from the North and 81 from
the South. The total membership of the
House was only 1923 at that time. Now
there are I40 veterans in the House, which
has 435 members.
Reducing the comparison TO its sim
plest terms. war veterans represented -
per cent of the total membership of Con-
gress in 1886. while at present they rep
resent only 80 per cent.

BUY IT IN KEY WEST

The Citizen has always been a strong
advocate of trading at home, and the
present time of depressed business cendi-
tions only emphasizes the Importance of
this self-evident truth to those who wish to
see our trade area develop.
Merchants in Key West offer splendid
stocks of goods, from which buyers of all
types and means will find what they
want The duty of giving our merchants
chance to supply our needs is one of the
most imperative that rests upon all loyal
boosters of Key West.
The other day a citizen of this COM
munity was about to make purchase. A
thoughtless friend suggested that he could
order it, and save some money. The buyer
said: 81 prefer to get it in Key West, be-
cause if there is anything wrong with it,
can get an adjustment That is point
well worth considering.
Another idea that buyers should re-
member is that cheapness is not always the
main essential of any trade. Price is i'm
portant, and we advise no buyer to pay ex-
cessive charges for anything, but before
believing that, local sellers are unable to
offer competition to catalog prices one
should consider what will be gotten in the
two transactions.

America and all democratic

Americans pride themselves on

would undertake the task of sell

THE Low DOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

Not so long ago I was poppin'
off about one of my favorite
Senator's from down yonder in
the old mud-cat State, and I got
to talkin' about sorghum and
wishing for some. And 10 and be-
hold, an editor down there, he
ups and sends me a can.
And 1 tried it with corn cakes
and bacon and a coupla cups of
coffee, and / guess it had quiet
ing effect, because Susie, she
says, guess we better send down
there for winters supply.
But l got a friend out in Ore
gon who has been around con-
siderable, and he says sorghum
and cane syrup, they are not the
same. He says sorghum is from
Illinois and Whereabouts and is
made from corn-like cane-and
the juice Of the southern cane, it
makes cane syrup-not sorghum.
But this Mississippi editor, he
calls it sorghum. But whatever
it is, it is great and grand stuff.
And any woman who has a
grizzly or polar bear for a hus-
band, she can handle him easy as
pie, if she knows her corn-cakes
and sorghum-er cane and maple
syrup.
