Good Idea If 1t Sticks

The President of the United States
has recommended the reduction of
Government expenses. Senators and
Representatives have been raising
Government pay, including their
own. A few Senators-you can count
them on the fingers of one hand,
starting with Byrd of Virginia, have
the right notion in wanting to lay off
a million or two Federal employees,
and send them back to work in their
own States.
How would it be for the people of
the Nation to whoop 'er up for all the
Federal job holders to return about
SO or rs percent of their war saw
ings and establish new savings
campaign.

1.-THE WAY TO RESUME Is TO
RESUME"
BY j. e. Jones

Washington, d. c., July 8-The
American system of Government has
been constantly changing for the past
13 years. I'VE, the People" have sur
rendered the reins of authority to the
politicians. The people elected a
Democrat for President in 1882.
Four months later, on the day he
took Office, President Roosevelt an
nounced his New Deal" and he
fastened to use it as an instrument
and cure-all for everything that was
or might be-the matter with the
Federal Government.
eve, the People" have deserted
the tradition that no President must
serve more than two terms. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was accepted as a
perpetual ruler. President Truman
has time and again affirmed his pur-
pose to continue the policies of Mr.
Roosevelt, and so far as he is con-
cerned he has used all the power he
could command to enforce Federal
bureaucratic, autocratic and despotic
control of the Nation. All these UNI
democratic methods of New Deals
were introduced into the Government
by Roosevelt. Truman uses the same
old tools.
In the recent conflicts President
Truman insisted that 1--WE cannot
quarantine imitation" and despite the
part he has played in helping labor
leaders boost wages he hoped all
over 1.-THE spectacular increases in
the prices of manufactured goods. =.
far in excess of anything which in
dustry needs to earn generous profits
and obtain full production. >. The
increases are so large because the
formulas for computing them are bo-
nanza formulas" He insists that pro-
duets like automobiles, washing ma
chimes and refrigerators must not be
raised in price. Nevertheless, he was
the Leader who made it possible for
strikers to win strikes in those iii
dustries. Under methods of misrule
our whole economic system has bro
ken down.

Living Costs Are Still Rising.

No matter what happens, either
with or without Government regula-
tons, it is perfectly clear that living
costs are rising now and will contin-
ue to rise Many wage workers have a
margin of around Is per cent above
their earnings as result of in
creases in wages. Government au-
thorities in Washington seem to
agree with business men in large and
small industries that there will be a
commodity price rise of possibly rs
per cent this year. 1t seems very easy
to substantiate these estimates by
the simple method of going to stores
in your own community. And if you
are old enough you will remember
that the prices of buildings and land
trebled after World War l, just as
prices are running wild at the pre-
sent time.
