PASTOR sCOLDs RACIAL BIAS

The Rev. Lloyd T. Anderson
pastor of the First Baptist church,
in a Memorial address before more
than 1000 persons gathered in the
court house square at Salem,
raped racial discrimination, cheap
politics and communism.
1T becomes imperative to more
nobly create a free society in
which there will be absolutely nc
discrimination" he said Rev. Mr.
Anderson reminded in rigid death
rows men are alike and every
flower on every grave must be q
token of DISCRIMINATION.
AS for politics, he said govern
ment must be retained on a high
and honest level in event the re-
public is to survive.
Communism was branded as
negative to the best things in life
and against an improved civiliza.

THE TAIL WAGs THE DOG

A press dispatch quotes a Department of
the Interior expert to the effect that within
ten years the Federal government will be in
a position to operate power system stretch
ing from New Orleans to Seattle. After that
the expert continued, it would be compara-
lively simple to tie in the Tennessee Valley
Authority, and make the Federal system
stretch from Coast to Coast. "All that's need
ed, he declared "is congressional authority
and money to build tie-lines should we need
them" The irony and political dupliCity be-
hind this short press dispatch is beyond the
comprehension Of a lot of plain American
citizens. In ten years, if the planners have
their way, basic industry will be national
lzed and the nation will be irreVOCablv ad-
Vanced on the road to state Socialism. de-
spite the fact that there is no announced
public policy sanctioning the program. On
the contrary, available evidence indicates
that the people in this country are opposed
to 1t. Where they have had an opportunity
to express an opinion they have indicated that
ownership and operation of industry should
stay right where 1t is-in the hands of
private citizens.
But the day may not be too far distant
when the private citizen will be forced Ia
step aSide-while countless do-g0od alpha-
betlcal Federal agencies harden into an in
terlocklng administrative dictatorship That
is what has been happening in the case of the
electric industry. AT first there was the al
legged 'yardstick" of the Tennessee Valley
Authority to measure the efficiency of tho
investor owned electric companies; then
there evolved conglomeration of schemes
such as K. +. AS, PUBS, B. =. AS and
SPAS. And now these scattered Federal
projects are beginning to cooperate" with
each other to circumvent safeguards and re.
strctlons imposed by Congress and to drive
out Of business the heavily taxed and repu.
lated private companies. AS far as the elec-
tric industry is concerned, unless the EEK.

breakable government monopoly in this vital

CARPENTER OR COOK?

Norman Thomas has dedicated his life
to the cause of Socialism which, according to
the dictionary, is "A political and economic
theory Of social organization based on col
lectlVe or government ownership of the
essential means for the production and dis
tributlon Of goods" For many years Mr..
Thomas has been the Socialist Party candi-
date in presidential elections but has never
received more than a handful of votes. The
people do not approve of Socialism when it is
presented IN a fortnight manner And vet
IN the last decade and half a large part of
the Socialist party platform has been adopt
ed. High political OfticehOlderS who profess
opposition to the philosophy of Socialism ad-
VOcate and adopt measures which lead ulti-
mately to all powerful sOcialistic govern
ment. 1t is time that candidates and office
holders at every level of government be PIN
ned down on a definition of issues. If bank
clerk develops the habit of falsifying his
records and stealing money from the bank
at which he is employed, how long will his
title remain bank clerk, and when will il
change from bank clerk to thief? Or, if q
man calls himself a carpenter and constantly
works at the cooking trade, should the man
DE called carpenter or q cook? Similarly,
II man claims to be Democrat or Repuhli-
can, but carries on sOcialiStic program to
destroy private business and the profit in
centiVe system-a program that promises
the so-called common man everything one
that employs bankruptcy spending confsca-
tory taxation and heavier regulations ON bus
mess, one that takes more control of private
property away from the owner, one that
makes business costs higher, one that is
gradually socializing basic industries and
professions, is making more of us wards of
the government and is creating regional au-
thorities-shOuld not a man who advocates
and works for such program be called not
a Democrat nor Republican, but Socialist? Z?

A NEW KIND OF GRIMM

Is selling goods to the public nj low
prices a crime which should be sternlv NM
lshed by the law? Apparently some men
high IN the government think so. That, at
least, is about the only reasonable conclusion
that can be drawn from the governments
antitrust suit against a major food chain
system. No one claims that this system con-
splred to boost prices and gOuge the con-
sumer to the limit. The charge is Just the
oppOslte-that the chain used its size, faciG-
ties and purchasing power to eliminate or
reduce certain expensive middeman opera
uons, and that these savings, i'm turn, were
used to reduce the prices il charged for
goods. The suit would be justified, of course.
II tins policy has resulted i'm mOnopOlv.
with the chain ruthlessly squeezing out its
competitors and taking over all the grocery
business in the large territory in which il
has outlets. But, as a matter of actual fact.
the chains share of the total national food
sales has been going down for about 20
years. Furthermore, it is i'm constant COM
petition with thousands of other stores both
chain and independent, which show no sign
OF giving up and which are doing we'll and
growing. This suit seems to stem from the
same kind of thinking that lay back of the
proposals, made in depression days, to pen
alize all chains with class taxes and other
punitive legislation by the Federal govern
ment. II was argued that such measures were
necessary to save the Independents. Luckily
for the country, the proposals didn't pass.
1t it's really a crime to sell good merchan-
disc at the lowest possible price, all the prog
ressiVe business men of the country belong
in Jail.

LET THE RAILROADS COMPETE

III q country prOIe IeSSedly devoted to free
competitive enterprise, why not give the rail
roads chance really to compete? Back of
that lies the fact that the railroads are the
only form of commercial TRANSPORTATION
which pays its own way in every particular.
All the others are subsidized in one fashion
or an0ther-thrOugh publicly-bUilt airpOrts
and highways, mail subsidies and SO on
And the railroads. moreover, carry burden
Of government regulation which is borne to
much lesser degree by their competitors
The result is that substantial amounts Of
traiilc are artifcially diverted from the rail
roads 10 other forms Of transportation And
the taxpayers pay part Of the bill. The rail
roads ask for no faVOrs. All they want is
equality. This was brought out in recent tes-
tmOny given before a House committee by a
spokesman for the Association Of American
Railroads. He said that the only way TO de-
termlne which form of commercial trans
pOrtatlOn IS best suited to perform the var
lOus transportation services is by having
eacn form bear its own cost, and by having
the 1ull cost Of each form reflected in the rates
ano charges which it makes to the public.
Then he added, Under such conditions traf-
nc VIII seek that form Of transportation best
suited for ITS purpose, and the national trans
portatl0n system viii have a natural and
healthy development" The country needs
real and honest competition in transporta-
ton. 1t hasn't got il now. And il will never
have q SO long as only one form paws its
own way and the others are all publicly sub
sidized

WHITENING AWAY

II Is naro Tor us TO realize II now, but the
men VINO drafted the Bill Of Rights thought
OF It as the protection Of liberty against
arbitrary government and its creatures. That
ls why the Fifth Amendment, part Of the
original Bill Of Rights, listed property with
LIE and liberty themselves as among those
ultimately precious things with which the
Federal government was forbidden TO tam
per without due process Of law" With the
disappearance Of the frontier however. with
une rise OF big business, with the depression
Of 1893 and with the men who came to power
ln that fateful year, the old cOnstitutionalism
began 10 Wither away. The effect upon prop
erty ls possibly best illustrated by the state
ln which the property rights Of many soft
coal operators have sunk. The owners Of the
coal mines have been deprived Of the lawful
use OF their property, because Of the Wilful
ruthless actions Of one man who holds absO-
lute monopoly power over all the organized

direct contradiction TO any logical interpre-
tatlOn Of what the Fifth Amendment was
