Symbolic Of the New Deal attitude

itself up as a commercial dictator OF
the country Is the current contro-
versy igniged BY the Federal Com

In this controversy Is to,be found
proof OF Republican contentious that
The New Deal is hostile 70 free enter

atmosphere of defeatism and that Il
is striving by might and main 70 es-
tablish a governmental dictatorship
over industry in this country.
Back in 1882. Franklin d. Roose-
welt. speaking at the Commonwealth
Club in San Francisco, asserted that
"our Industrial plant is built.
Our last frontier has long since been
reached. A mere builder Of
more Industrial plants, a creator Of
more railroad systems. an organizer
OF more corporations Is as likely 10
be A DANGER as q help" In other
words. Mr.. Roosevelt eOntended that
the builder of more industrial plants.
the organizer of more corporations
and the producer of more goods
should be treated as "A DANGER"
-as PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER
ONE.
Building, Production Discouraged
Well. during the last seven years
Mr.. Roosevelt and his New Dealers
have certainly curbed this DAN
GER. They have by every means
possible taken care that none would
be encouraged to build new indus
tries or form new corporations. This
is the reason why the country still
has an unemployed army Of 10000
600, despite the prOdigal and waste
full spending of taxpayers money.
Having prevented the country from
going ahead for seven years. the
New Dealers now argue that their

America has reached the end Of its
rOad-that il is in what
they call a "matured economy" and
that further substantial progress is
impossible. All Of this they say 10 /

and spending more money.

INDIVIDUAL OPPORTUNITY
FOUNDATION OF PROGRESS

Thomas jefferson. referred to by
some historians as the father of the
patent system" was in fact the first
patent examiner When the patent
question first came up. Jefferson waf
opposed to granting patents for they
limited at monopoly; but when he
saw how the government, by giving
patent rights, stimulated invention
! he became an immediate advocate.
Since 1900, it has been estimated
that 100000 new products have been
placed on the market as the result
of American ingenuity inspired by
the patent system. Ri
Let's not forget this today when
government attempts to curb the
profit opportunity to the vanishing
point, or abuse government privil-
eges ard power by competing with
private enterprise. Whether you are
an inventor who thinks he is deserv-
ing of reward for his accomplish
ments, or a fellow on a job earning
a salary, you like to feel that Op-
pOrtunity and the possibility of per-
sOnal reward are always ahead of
you.
You grow with the times. Your
community is constantly progress
ing. The reason is that the Ameri-
can people are an enterprising peO-
PIE and want to go ahead; not be-
cause they are selfish people, but
because they are proud of their
freedom and the right to receive re-
wards for their own endeavOrs as
individuals Ewing in free cOun-
try. This was reasoned out in the
days of the mOlding of our present
United States and by great men who
were responsible for the evolution
of this country from a wilderness TO
the worlds leading industrial and
scientific nation. They knew that as
long as there was sound government
to regulate industry, monopoly could
not exist and therefore there was no
reason for government to compete
with it's own citizens in business and
thereby destroy individual OppOrtun-
ity for reward.

that the cooling systems of farm
tractors are. designed to maintain the
engine temperature at from $50 to
100 degrees F., under even the hot
test operating conditions. Should
tractor engines be operated in cool or
cold weather, IL is necessary to pro-
vide some means Of keeping the en-
gine hot. For an engine running too
cool. especially when low grade fuel
like fuel oil and kerosene are used,
results in excessive fuel economy and
d,lution of erankcase oil.
But Ramp also warns against OV-
erheating of tractor engines stating
that An Overheated engine often re-
suits in valve trouble with a result
ing loss of power. Overheating may
be due to poor grade of fuel, an
improper fuel mixture, having the

HELPING KING COTTON

What is probably the most aggres-
sive campaign ON behalf OF beleag-
ured King Cotton ever tnaugurated
was recently announced by Donald
NJ. Nelson, President of the Institute
of Distribution, Inc.
A short time ago the Cotton Con-
sumption Council met in New Or
leans to consider ways and means
OF stimulating cotton sales in this
country. At the meeting were repre-
.sentatives of growers, manufaetur-
ers. retail distributors. and govern
ment officials. Out of that meeting
came a 15-pOint cotton prOmOtiOnRi
program that will see cotton con-
tinnOusly pushed on a nationwide
basis in 194J. High spot OF the drive
will be National Cotton Week. to be
observed from May II through May
25
Spearhead of the campaign will be
Americas organized retail distribu-
tors, including both the chains and
the individual retailers. Every sec
tiOn of this country, from metropolis
to crossroads down. will be included
ia the cotton drive.
Some l2.OOO,0O0 Americans depend
on King Cotton for their livelihood
for the money that buys food and
clOthe sand homes and fuel and
amusements and everything else. To
quote Mr.. Nelson, When cotton wag-
ons roll and cotton gins hum, times
in the United States are good" The
cotton surplus has long been prob
lem in this country. The key to inn
provement is stimulated consumption
at home.
More power TO King COttOn-and
the cotton sales campaign. Its sue
cess means much to every industry,
every locality. every worker in this
vast country of ours.

KEEP THE DOLLARS ROLLING

By this time, the old rumOr that
a bankers greatest pleasure in life
is to refuse a loan, should have
heen thoroughly exploded.
Perhaps never before were banks
so eager to make sound loans, and
to put the money for which they are
trustees, to productive use. The typi-
cal commercial bank of today adVer-
tises constantly for business-issues
leaflets and other literature-and
does everything possible to attract
and serve the legitimate borrower.
Figures back up that statement.
During the first half of last year.
more than $4,000 loans were made
during every banking hour by Al per
cent of the nations commercial
banks covered in survey. The G.000
banks reporting made close to g.
100000 new loans tOtaling more than
$40 ,000, ,000.0 .000-renewed over S.
SOC, 900 old loans totaling almost ST.
200, zoo. 900, and issued over 127 900
mortgage loans totaling $412,OO0. .00O
This amounted to the Incredible sum
of $18,000,O0O, ,OOO-all in a six
months period.
1t is obvious that the hanks can
not loan to the insolEent business,
or to. the prospective borrower with
bad credit and character record
But no man who is entitled TO q
loan, under the terms of state and
federal law, need worry about get
ting the money he needs for any
sound purpose. It's ready and wait
ing.
The point is that today banks are
rot only willing to make loans-they
are eager TO do 30. And the record
proves it,

AESOP SAID 1T

AS AesOp once said in effect, a per-
son who lays a trap for someone
else is often caught in it himself.
AesOp lived 500 years before the
Christian era and never heard of
anti-chain stOre.i legislation, but the
words he uttered were prOphetically
apt. st.r.
James w. CTeamer, assistant at
tOrney-geneEal of Colorado, recently
announced that the language of Col
oradO'S- chain store tax law leaves
no alternative for the state but to
proceed against all grOup-selling Or
ganizatiOns,, including oil compan-
les tire companies and voluntary in
dependent grocery groups like IGA
and Red and White.
Far-sighted Independent merchants
have long opposed. discriminatory
chain store taxation. Their argu-
ment, eohcurred in by representa-
tives of agriculture, labor; business
and consumers, has been to the eff
feet that any special tax is danger
GUS in principle. They feared, and
justly. so, that once the practice was
started no one. could fOretell where
or whom it might strike. Numerous
court decisions have held that such
taxes are legal technically, but warn
ed against them. The fact that they
have been clasaed as lawful meas
ules. only adds. to their potential
threat to all business. Under this
system, any enterprise that becomes
the target of political attack is sub
ject to possible destruction
through taxation -
Chain store taxes were enacted
ostensibly 10 curb chain. store com
petition IN spite of the fact that COM
petition between chains and inde-
pendent merchants was simply a
healthy addition TO the American dis
tribution system. And nov, as so
many independent merchants feared,
Colorado furnishes a striking ex-
ample Of hO wa trap laid for the
chains will IN al probability engulf
the independents. At the very least
Il is far more selfous threat to their
welfare than chain store competition
ever was.

NOT HOT POTATOES

There is a man by the name Of Jim
Davidson i'm Nebraska. who runs the
Nebraska Power Company. He has
had his share of political troubles in
the way of public ownership schemes
i'm the power field. But he hasn't
gotten sour. He has just kept on try
ing to give the best electric service
possible in Omaha and surrounding
territory.
And here is an incident that shows
the constructive attitude of his com
pany which recently hired Is tenn
pOrary electric equipment statesmen
for 80 days. When their work was
done, instead of dropping them like
hot potatoes, the company bought a
quarter-page advertisement in the
Omaha WOrld-Herald which said:
Wanted: Jobs for Is good sales
men," and also ran paid announce
ments ON three local radio stations.
Ten of the men got permanent jobs
and five had several offers each TO
consider.
It is good for the country TO know
this type of management exists in a
so-called ''heartless" corporation.
The country needs more Jim David
sons to head it's industries.
