what he talking about 1t is lent fresh emphasis by the
fact that the Federal government is again spending far
more money than it is collecting from taxpayers-con-
servatve estimates place the deficit this year in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, O0,OOO
1t is difficult for to appreciate the almost ma
the matca relationship between the financial status of
government and the political status of the people Our
privilege of going to the polls periodic

part of the system of which Mr. Hoover speaks It
only long the great majority of individuals
are able exercise their franchise of citizenship without
fear of reprsa And the term reprsa does not necessarily
mean firing squad
AS country becomes submerged in bureaucratic gov
ernmen as public debt accumulates and the money de-
prciates, normal productive activities increasingly
disrupted by excessive taxation and regulation as the rolls
withers the process continues long enough the people
with vested interest in bureaucracy become majority
and the effectiveness of elections is lost Thus the free
system is oblierated amid chorus of good intentions

THE BUYERS MARKET

We hear much these days of the return of the buyers
market The most apparent effects of found in more
aggressive selling efforts by both manufacturers and
talers, and in lower prices in many lines We told
with that this is the way competition works in
suppyd- -and-deman economy.
The old crossroads emporium of a generation so
ago marked the nearest approach to monopoly in mer-
chandsing It long trip to the next town, and local
had to be satisfied with what goods they
offered and the prices charged.
Then the automobile and good roads gave greater
mobility We could and did shop about if dis
satisfied More and stores into being The early
chain systems pioneered and almost revolutionary
idea-the idea being to lower the profit made each
sae and to adequate total profit by increasing
the volume of business and speeding up the turnover of
stock The independent stores faced with chain compet-
tion followed the trend They brought and
full ideas of their into play
Today the typical American community is true re-

every kind Each is out to attract customer-with

Patfen Against All
'SotiaIized' Ideas

Representative Harold Pa t t e n
last week explained" why he voted
against the public housing project
bill recently passed by congress. The
interview with the Phoenix Gazette
follows.
The representative expla n e d
that to him the bill is entirely
socialistic in it's precepts and ideals.
"Where are we going to STOP" he
asked, eff we carry this thing
through to it's logical finish. The
government would some day own
all housing projects, all rentals, all
homes in the United States. That's
why I don't like it," he declared.
"To me, it is definitely undemo-
cratic to say that we will build
housing project for 100 people in
Phoenix while there is one person
in Douglas who also needs a houS-
ing project, and who helps pay for
the project. But just because he is
only one against the 100 in Phoe-
nix, he will be overlooked in this
present setup involving only major
communities, Patten added. "We
can't stop with major communi-
ties," he continued. "We cannot
draw line. If we do, we are being
Socialistic."
"TO me, the project bill is just
as socialistic as the proposed So
cialized medicine. EverybOdy'S
against sOcialized medicine, but
nobody feels the same way
toward public housing. They are
being inconsistent" Representa-
tive Patten concluded.
