THE AMERICAN WAY
MORE MISTAKES

American businessmen have
made mistakes-find an individ-
ual who has not made mistakes
and you will uncover a man who
has never accomplished any
thing, Like any other group Of
Americans, business leaders are
not infallible - the chances are
that they never will achieve that
idealistic state.
Because this nation was
ploughing new ground, it was
inevitable that along with the
great progress made there would
be some mistakes. But when we
compare the errors of our busi-
neSSmen with their achieve
ments, we find a thousand and
one beneficial accomplishments
for every blunder.
In almost every decade of
American history, mistake-mak-
ing businessmen have increased
wages to employees while de-
creasing the cost of products and
services to the American people;
thereby greatly raising the
standard of living and the de-
gree of human comfort.
Yet, one of the unfortunate
aspects of American life during
the past two or three decades
has been the persistent smear
ing of businessmen. 1t came to
the point where it was almost
necessary for an individual to
apologize for being a business
man. Had this not been so tragic
as concerning the future of our
country, this attitude toward
business leaders would have
been laughable. Thank goodness,
this animosity is on the wane,
and businessman no longer
need hang his head as he con-
feSses he is engaged in trade and
commerce. Mr.. Average Citizen
has come to the conclusion that
business is doing mighty good
job, and that a businessman is
respectable and useful citizen.
While businessmen have stead
lily reduced their costs and
prices to the consuming public,
politicians have done just the
opposite. That should constitute
the final argument against Gov
ernment engaging in any bust
ness that rightfully belongs in
the province of private enter
prise. Yet, many of our politi-
clans are planning to further
modest and harass the business
men, and to further enthrone
centralized power at Washing
ton under which the individual
gradually will have less and less
responsibility and the Govern
ment eventually would assume

This Week
in
Washington

With Jan. l and rise in Social
Security tax rates on payrolls
only a matter of days away, the
House Ways and Means Subcom-
mittee on Social Security re-
leased letters from persons over
65 asking that something be
done about raising the ceiling on
the amount of money a person
can earn before benefits under
the Old Age and Survivors In
surance System are stopped. The
present limit of SIS a month for
work covered by Social Security
apparently is not enough to get
the job done, citizens believe.
Rep. Herman P. Eberharter
Cd Pa.) turned loose a few barbs
to indicate that he felt COM
mittee's minority members were
not being properly recognized.
He termed it very unusual pro-
cedure" that testimony Of Philip
Vogt, administrator of the Doug
las County, Neb., Welfare Ad-
mlnlstration, was released to the
press before Vogt actually testi-
fled.
In answer, Subcommittee
Chairman Carl T. Curtis (R
Neb.) said the Vogt release had
been prepared in advance of the
hearing after a conference be-
tween the Subcommittee staff
and Vogt. Angler L. Goodwin
(R MaSS.) also Subcommittee
man member, defended the Com
mlttee by stating that the hear
lngS were conducted ito bring
out the facts as to the work
ability of the system" The re-
cord will speak for itself, he
said, and will prove there is no
intention of breaking up social
security, but Of trying to i'm.
prove it."
