z Eecretary of Commerce Henry
A. Wallace has outlined a foir-
point postwar program of gov
eminent aid to small business,
declaring that he aims to see our
American economic system COM
pelitively free and TO make the
syzleEp 'Hrser thasHitTis today"
The SeGgetary a fPFmerce be-
llfyes that the goYegTplent should
6fdak down 1aif arbitrary bar
riers that prevent a small BUSH
ness man from entering the BUSH
ness Of his choice and says that
acwoomers are 'artificially exL
cladcd" from business areas thru
monopolistic pools of patents. mo-
nnpoiistic controls of raw mate
risis. through monopolistic deals
between rings of manufacturers
and rings of distributors"
HIS second point is that small
business shall have a reasonable
access 20 credit.
His third proposal is TO make
governmental industrial research
available 10 small business along
the lines that the Department of
Agriculture and state agricultur-
al colleges have developed aid to
small farmers with no research
facilities of their own.
His last point is tax relief with
the suggestion that the excess
profits tax be repealed as soon as
possible after the war, with
tightening of the income tax and
other tax burdens on small bust
ness" u

WHEN DOMESTIC ISSUES
ARISE TRUMAN WILL
BE DENOUNCED

There seems to be a general
agreement that President Tru-
man has got off to a very good
start after assuming office un-
der difficult circumstances and
facing responsibilities as great as
those faced by the previous Pres
dent
The fact is that the attention
81 the country is now turned to
questions concerned with warfare
and the ending of the war Little
attention is being paid to domestic
issues but as soon as the time
comes TO take them up, the, "era
Of good feeling" now prevailing
will disappear. ,,,
A bitter fight is brewing over
the tariff, an issue certain to
cause prolonged controversy, in
connection with the proposed ex-
tension of the Trade Agreement
Act. with the power to make an
other cut of so per cent in the
rates of the old Smoot-Hawley
Tariff Act in exchange for trade
benefits granted US by the other
countries.
There is nothing whatever to
indicate that Mr.. Truman was
merely talking when he an
nounced his intention to carry out
the policies of President Roose-
velt. The opposite is certainly in
dicated By the prospect that Sec
reiary of Commerce Wallace may
have greater Influence in the Tru-
man regime than he would have
bad under President Roosevelt.

tration of the sale of some 81 $780,
100000 worth of surplus consum-
er goods ipemding trucks, jeeps,
clothing, textiles, radio equip
ment, food and other materials.
1t is well known that the former
vice president wants to- use these
goods to help small business and
to give veterans a start.
In additions the new President
recently asked Secretary Wallace
to study the misuse of patents to
support unlawful monopolies in
contravention of the purposes OF
the antitrust laws and to recon-
mend appropriate legislation to
remedy the situation.

semi-loud sport-jacker, grinning broadly, and
tossing nicklcs and pennies to his admiring juvcn-

Sunday afternoon pleasantly. And maybe there's

Bacon comes Of his ~guitaring ability naturally.
His folks were musical p~rodigics during their own
youth, but wer. Y, for classical music. When
Trevor first p: i love for the guitar they
were amazed all attic ashamed. To the -legi-
innate music lovers a guitar is a lowly Instrument.
But as used BY the trained hands Of Trevor, the
guitar can produce chords as lovely, and intricate
as any violin, cello or harp. Because he couldn't
practice home, Terror trampcd the backyards IF
the surrounding ncighborhoods, and not only got
his experience, he made a profitable weeks pay.
With the money he earned Trevor paid a pro-
fessional music teacher, studied rcligiously and
doubled at a vocal studio. Young Bacon has
earned his success.

raise in pay but there is always re-
luctance to introduce such a bill.
Wage rates in private industry
have advanced from 42c to 81 an
hour in the last 20 years. They have
more than doubled. Informed au-
thorities say that living costs have
gone up 800 or more during that
time. Doubled pay for workers in
private industry offsets the living
costs that are about a third higher,
but what about government people?

ECONOMIC SECURITY
Ru Cenrnn c Roncnn

Any time a workman quits a job in
private industry to serve the govern
ment, he gets his wage-scale frozen.
The government job may pay more at
hrst but the wage is pegged. Who
ever works at it a generation later will
probably carr no more. Postmen and
senators have parallel problems;
food and housing expenses change
but income remains unaltered except
by law.
Back in 1865, U. S. senators and
representatives began drawing $4,000
a year; 500 a week; good pay 80
years ago but a frst-class weIder can
do better now. Congressman have
had two boosts in salary since then.
The last one was 20 years ago when
their annuity reached $4,000. En-
ployes in the Post Office department
haven't had a raise in the last 20
years either.
Earnings Doubled
Many executives in private enter
prise earn more money than senators
although they do not claim superior
ability. Why do our legislators not
earn more? BeBcause their salaries
