As to the sources Of relief funds

that four fundamental principles
should control.
First, to insure the maintenance
and development Of local RESPONSE
bility, without which q vigorously
national life is impossible, the larg-
est feasible proportion Of relief costs
should be borne by States and To-
calities, with State and local funds
supplemented by grants in aid from
the Federal Government. In the
light Of demonstrated necessity and

from all direct relation to party
politics, might well be created to
devise and enforce such conditions
prerequisite to grants in aid from
the Federal Government as would
insure non-partisan and efficient
administration of relief funds.
Fourth, the conditions attending
grants In aid from the Federal Gov
ernment, while leaving to State and
local governments full freedom of
choice as to methods Of relief and
their application to individual cases,
should require that the State and
local governments administer the
relief funds, to which Federal and
State and local contributions have
been made, through bipartisan
agencies. Only so can relief be
lifted above the suspicion Of parti-
san manipulation.

30-RuIe Code Of Ethics

lon Of gas would be outlawed under
. code Of ethics proposed for the
automobile industry and made pub
Lie yesterday by the Federal Trade
Commission.
The commission emphasized that
the 80 suggested rules had not been
approved, but would be submitted
for discussion to industry represent
atives at q public hearing here March
40.
The industry itself, the commits
sion said, asked for the rules, which
are designed to protect the purchas-
ing public and eliminate unfair
methods Of competition.
The proposed rules designate as
an unfair trade practice anything
which might mislead the buying
public with respect to "the operation,
performance. use, fuel or oil con-
sumption, mileage, age, size, mate
rial. content. origin. production, year,
model, type, price, grade, quality,

tribution Of any motor vehicle.
Other rules would prohibit: De-
ceptive description of vehicles
offered for sale, misleading illustra-
tions In advertisements, misrepre-
sentation Of prices and terms; the
practice known as packing" the
cash delivered price or finance
charges, under which fictitiously in

against duplication Of taxation,
(3) to provide definite information
respecting the productive and equi-
table limits Of taxation and (4) to
provide data respecting the most
economical methods for their col
lection.
1ll-considered tax measures, such
as the undistributed profits tar,
have been quickly adopted and later
abandoned. This tax, which
would still be in force except for
Republican demand for its repeal,
discouraged both the accumulation
Of needed reserves and the accumu-
lation Of capital required for expan-
sion Of plant. Moreover, this tax
was particularly burdensome to
small and new corporate enterprises.
Social security taxes have imposed
q fixed charge on all enterprise and
heavy direct tax on employ
ment. 'ss
Corporate income taxes have been
raised from l3A per cent under the
1892 act to 18 per cent in 1899. The
merit Of this tax is its productivity
and relative cost Of administration.
But 1t should not be forgotten that
it has little relation to ability to pay
as its burden falls as heavily on the
stockholder whose annual income is
so small that 1t is exempt from the
individual income tax, as it does on
the stockholder with large in
come. 80
Surtax rates on individual incomes
have been raised so that in the
United States they reach a higher
maximum than in the war-torn
countries of Europe. The fact that
the highest Federal rate imposed is
70 per cent does not directly con-
cern most Of us. But the effect of
surtax rates in choking of the in
vestment Of savings in new risk
bearing enterprises is a matter of
serious consequence to every Amer
ican. '''
We do not advocate new Federal
taxes or increased income tax rates
at this time. But II reductions in
expenditures are not made promptly
effective and there should fail to be
a substantial increase in the ma
tional income, then the situation
should be faced courageously and
additional taxes levied. Such ad-
ditional taxes can probably be OBJ
tanned, without retarding recovery
only by reductions in income tax
exemptions and increases in rates
applicable to incomes in the middle
brackets. In so far as new revenue
Is sought through increased rates
these brackets must be looked to
first.

Boundaries Of Regulation
Should Be Clearly Defined.

Two things are essential: CD
The boundaries and patterns of Gov
ernment regulation should be clearly
defined, for certainty is impossible
to the degree that regulation is left
to the arbitrary exercise of delegated
power, and (2) the regulatory agen-
cies should be so reorganized that
the jurisdiction and power of every
agency is readily ascertainable by
the average citizen.
We have long accepted the fact
that, within our system of free en-
terprise, natural monopolies must be
regulated as to prices or rates by
Government. We also accept the
fact that various public services
such as electric, gas and water util-
tiles may be owned and operated by
municipal governments, and it is

undue financial requirements, on the
principle that neither organized
labor nor organized industry should
be able to impose restraints upon
freedom of employment which Gov
ernment itself is forbidden by the
Constitution to impose.
Political Regulation
OF Wages and Hours.
Except in situations where mini
mum wage and maximum hour
regulation is necessary to portect
groups of workers not in position to
protect themselves through collec-
tive bargaining, wages and hours
should be determined by collective
bargaining between freely chosen
representatives of labor and man
agement.
Few will question the appropriate
ness of the Federal Governments

or of it's setting limitations upon
sweating" which Injuries the health
of workers. But there is no salts
factory evidence that the political
regulation of wages and hours
beyond this point increase the real
income of workers or raises the gen.
eral level of employment. 1t may,
indeed, do the precise opposite.

Relief Must Be Provided
As Long rs Need Exists.

Relief must be provided as long
as the need for 1t exists. It must be
adequate in volume, administered
with scrupulous regard for the self
respect Of those who must resort to
it, and effectively divorced from par
tisan politics. But, wastefully ad-
ministered and exploited for political
purpose, relief policy can become one
Of the major obstacles to that full
recovery upon which. as just stated,
the successful maintenance Of q
sound and adequate social program
depends.

the holding over Of such surpluses
to a time of lesser output and
higher prices. Such loans should
not, Of course, be deliberately made
at level so high that they make
the Government, in effect, the buyer
of the crop carry-over, and thus
stimulate the piling up of stored sur
pluses that will stand as threat
to future farm prices.
Acreage control Is an undepend-
able means of production control.
- A rational farm program will
not include acreage control as
permanent policy and will coun-
tenance it's continuance only until
more fundamental policies begin to
bring the problem Of farm surpluses
under manageable control.
Free Enterprise System
Should Be Preserved.
The relationship between Gov
ernment and business has too often
been oversimplified by both politi-
cal leadership and business leader
ship.
Political leadership has oversim-
plifled this relationship when 1t has
assumed, as at times the New Deal
leadership has seemed to assume,
that business is essentially an anti
social process. that the more sue
cessful 1t is the more sinister 1t must
be and that the primary relation
of Government to business is that
of policeman shadowing q sus-
picious character. Business leader
ship as oversimplified this relation
ship when it has assumed, as at
times its less enlightened repre-
sentatives have seemed to assume,
that business is a private hunting
preserve, that any suggestion of So
cial concern with business policy or
any degree of social control of busi-
ness practices is an impertinent in
trusion. ="
The choice today is between a
system of free enterprise and polit-
ically planned and politically dom
mated economy.
Government Intervention in busi-
ness should be limited interven-
ton, confined, under normal cir
cumstances, to the creation and
maintenance of a socially protective
framework of regulation within
which our economy of free private
enterprise can most effectively oper-
ate and be most surely preserved In
short, the purpose of Government
Intervention in business should be to
make the American economy of free
private senterprise work, not to re-
place It with something else.

Deficit and Debt
Record Causes Concern

Deficit and Debt
Record Causes Concern.
The record of deficits and debt
causes grave concern, involving as
it does a clear threat to our cur
rency and credit.
The foundation Of sound public
finance is budget balanced an
nually from the proceeds of taxa
ton and other revenues without
borrowing, but seven years of reck-
less spending by the New Deal and
expenditures estimated at $9,099.-
253,641 for the fiscal year 1910 has
made it impossible for any admin
istration Immediately to balance ex-
penditures with current revenues.
Any effort to produce by new
taxes or increased rates revenues
to meet the current level of ex-
penditures would probably 50 de-
press the current relatively low ma
tional income that it is doubtful
whether increased revenues would
actually be achieved.
In the present situation a bal
anced budget must be sought largely
through such reduction of expendi-
lures as can be accomplished with
out impairing essential services or
depriving the unemployed Of ade-
quate relief and through policies in
every field of Government activity
which stimulates a healthy expan-
sion of private enterprise.
The present administration In
seven years has admittedly increased
expenditures by more than 1873 per
cent. It should not be too difficult
to accomplish 20 per cent reduc-
ton from the present level and it
is reasonable to expect that with
such a reduction and a substantial
increase in the national income
Federal expenditures and revenues
can be brought into balance during
1912.

One of the worst features that
has grown up in our tax system is

gard the principle Of distributing

ability to pay. These taxes are q

fall heavily upon those least able to

Farmers Market
Must Be Expanded.

The central drive of the farm pro-
gram of the present administration
has been to improve farm prices by
reducing crop production. Whatever
the expenditures involved in this
program have meant in the way Of
cash benefits to individual farmers,
one thing is clear, and that is that
all the expenditure and all the pol
ic:es behind the expenditure have
not brought solution to the farm
er's price problem.
Evening star., 1940-02-19

The major attack on the farm
problem must be a broadly con-
.ceived drive to expand the farmers
market-domestic and foreign. Save
for an abnormal demand the Eu-
ropean war might create, the out
look for any marked expansion of
farm exports in the near future is
none too bright.

Selective Protection
To Threatened Commodities.

Selective Protection
To Threatened Commodities.
If we are to preserve. to say moth
ing of expanding, the American
farmers home market, thoroughly
adequate protection must be given
to American farm commodities
against such foreign products as
would, If admitted to our markets,
supplant them.
Concurrently with this provision
of selective protection to threatened
commodities, every possibility of ex-
panding our farm exports through
treaties which produce genuine reci-
procity benefits should be fully ex-
plored.
Ably organized and ably led
farmer owned and farmer con-
trolled co-operatives can benefit
both producer and consumer Of farm
products by facilitating the sale of
farm products at fair prices from
which unnecessary intermediate
sales costs have been eliminated.
Constantly increasing transporta-
tion costs from interior to seaboard,
from producer to consumer, have
reduced the amount the farmer re-
ceives from his products and have
acted as barrier to the free move
ment Of his surpluses both for ex-
port and for domestic consumption.
A rational readjustment of these
transportation rates will operate to
widen the farmers market.
