Lobbying-real and alleged-is again in
the headlines AS usual, it is being used to
buttress the political drive to further control
industry, and to place barriers in the way
of free speech and the free press. However,
there is one phase of lobbying which the poll
ticians avoid like the plague-and that is
the propaganda fed to the people by govern
ment officials and bureaus. In fine editor
ial. the Wisconsin State Journal said, There
are more than $500 Federal emplOyees-who
cost taxpayers more than a million dollars
a amonth-engaged in selling and lobbying for
and stirring up support for the programs
wanted-not by the peOple-but by depart
ment heads and Mr.. Truman. Congressman
Vorys points out one great danger in this
tax-supported Federal lobby: Whether the
immediate purpose of government prOpa-
ganda is good or bad, the fact remains that
Individual liberty and free institutions can
not long survive when the vast power OF
government may be marshaled against the
people to perpetuate a given policy or par
ticular group of oficehOlder'." The lobby
lists who represent industry, agriculture
. labor unions and other institutions must reg;
ister and make periodic reports to the gov
ernment. But the lobbyists within the gov
s ernnent are free of all restraints. They art
an insidiOus and dangerous lntiuence-an(
{ all of us are forced to pay their salaries an'
excuses. If Congress is going to look INT
lobbying, how about starting with the de
partnent heads and the bureaucratic train
ed seals?

Too Many Irons In The Fire

President Truman is constantly

fairs. He is running a war from the

enough to let him do it.

meeting selected from Senate De-
mocrats and Republicans. The Pre-
sident explains that he has great
hopes that White House gatherings
of Senate Democrats and Republi-

believes "it is imperative that the

MORE IMITATION?

Looks like more initiation on the horizon.
The food of government spending may force
prices higher. If we should get substantial
degree of imitation with consequent increaseI
in prices, the first disposition of the general
public would be to believe prices were rising
because of the greed of retailers. That was
the case when prices shot up after the war.
In some communities consumers actually
picketed retail stores, with banners demand
ing that the rapaciOuS ShOpkeeper lmmedl-
ately make big cuts in the prices OF all man
ner of commodities Here was a classic eX-
ample of public confusion of cause and effect
The obvious fact is that no one has more to
lose from initiation than the retailer; that
no one has more to lose from initiation than
the retailer; that no one has done more TO
hold price increases to the absolute mini
mum: that only few cents out OF each
dollar spent in a store remains with 1t as
profit for the owners, and that the causes OF
high prices are as far beyond the control
of the retailer as they are beyond the con-
troll of the consumer. Of these causes, gov
ernment waste and extravaganza are lore
most. The Administration clearly holds to
the idea that spending is good and saving
is bad. In spite of huge tax revenues and
great business activity, we are running 9
heavy Federal deficit, which will be pileC
onto our monumental national debt. CThiS
is the sort of thing that bankrupts indiVid
nails. In the long run it bankrupts govern
ments. If we do have more imitation, don
blame manufacturers or producers or re
tailers or any other innocent bystandeT
Place the blame where it belOngs-On SUI

THE PIECES FIT

For MANY years rising costs and prices
have beset the country. With mOnOtOnOuS
insistance one group bames another group
for the trend. Labor has been suspicious OF
industrial profits. The housewife is robbed"
by farmers, manufacturers, mlddlemen, ETC.
Some businessmen lay the blame almost
wholly at the door of high wages. Many pO-
liticai Officeholders and candidates with vici
GUS acunen seek to capitalize on this nation
al tragedy, turning the blame for imitation IN
whatever direction may seem eXpedlent at
the moment. Meanwhile the public debt has
SCARED. To an ever increasing extent local
communities, counties and states are leaning

the load. The result is steadily depreciating

The inevitable egg and hen relationship
of debt, money value, and prices should no
longer puzzle anyone The pieces in the prob
lem can be fitted together with dreadful
clarity from the front page Of practically any
newspaper. For example the Omaha, Nebras-

one the following news stories: "U. s. Funds

Grange Will Push Construction On Cement Block Basement

We've started, and there's no use turning back now," is the way members of Northland Pioneer Grange expressed opinions about the planned construction program. It was voted at last Thursdays meeting to begin work, as soon as weather permits, on a cement block basement. It is hoped that the basement can be finished and in use by the end of the summer.
 Original plans called for 30x4O basement, but it is possible that an even larger building will be constructed, Art Stacey of the building committee said. MT. Stacey and fellow committee members Bruce Graham and Ralph Dye are at work on a new set of building plans now.
 As soon as these plans are com plete, the Grange will issue call for bids on the basement work.
