WILLIAM PENN'S BEVERAGE
OF MODERATION

William Penn, founder of Pen
nsyivania and devoutly religious,
was a strong believer in moder-
alton in all things, particularly
when applied to personal habits.
To spread his ideas Of temper
ance in his New World colony,
he encouraged the consumption
Of beer by precept as wei as by
word. AS a concrete example, he
erected a brewhouss-the first of
record in the state = when he
settled on his estate near Bristol,
in Bucks County, in 1888. So
well did he build that the brew
house remained standing more
than 200 yars, outlasting the
rest of the Manor buildings. Sew.
eral years ago, the brewhouse
was restored to its original ap-
pearance by the Pennsylvania
Historical Commission. Even the
original brewing equipment was
duplicated as closely as possible.
PENIS proprietary laws also
contained provisions for promot.
ing temperance. Beer license
fees were kept low as a further
encouragement Of the sale Of the
mild beverage. Drunkenness and
intemperance were made public
offenses and accordingly punish.
able. With beer readily available.
however, there few cases of in.
temperance among his people.
To Penn, beer was more than
iustan aid to moderation. Histor.
ians report that he relished its
flavor and was accustomed to
praise his own BREW
The industry William Penn
started in Pennsylvania has
grown to one of major import
ance in that state, as well shared
by countless other intelligent and
foresighted Americans today who
have the nations best interests
at heart.

IVA Finances

Next session of Congress, a measure will be introduced
to require the Tennessee Valley Authority to pay interest on
the funds alocated to it at the same rate az the Treasury must
pay for the money it borrows. '"This." according to one
observer, sis by far the most drastic and important TVA fs-
cal reform yet to gain major support"
1t is also a reform which is long over due. Ever since
its inception, the iva has been subsidized at the expense of
every taxpayer. 1t has not paid a single cent of interest on
the enormous amounts of money appropriated for it. Ysi
the government, which provides the money, must pay inter.
est to the bondholders who initially furnished it.
TO charge the iva interest at the going rate paid by the
Treasury would not, of course, correct all the unfair financial
advantages the Authority now enjoys. The government cd
obtain funds at substantially lower interest rates than any
other borrower, for the simple reason that the entire resour-
ces of the nation stand behind lbs obligations. Also, this wouAh
not correct the tax inequalities which exist in the IVA and all
other sociaized enterprises. iva pays nothing in Federal
income taxes. 1t pays only small, token amounts in lieu
of taxes to local government In its region. BY comparison,
the private utilities pay more than 20 per cent of all their rev.
enues for taxes of various kinds. Even SO, any step TO force
IVA to shoulder part of the obligation which must be
borne by private enterprise providing a similar service is
highly desirable.
1t is time all the people understood that they, and they
alone, must foot the bills for socialism. IVA, despite all the
windy talk about "secial gains," is engaged in a commercial
business in the course of Wick it has destroyed the heavily
Similar tactics could be usd to dstroy any industry by other

There is good reason for that. The
American Legion offers the ideal
