He thinks monopoly will be the princi- pal issue. On this theme he has dwelt repeatedly. He recurred to it again last week: “Both parties are going to advocate elimination of mo- nopolies.” It may be this will happen. If so, and if the debate is thorough, it will reveal the striking degree to which the American mind has come to tol- erate the idea of monopoly. Senator Borah may be thinking of monopoly merely in the sense of combination in great industries. He may think of the fight he envisages as a recur- rence of the opposition to big business that has been a recurrent issue ever since Senator Borah began to vote. Monopoly Fills New Deal. But actually, monopoly is a theory about society. This theory is in- herent in the New Deal. The whole body of theories underlying the New Deal conception of society includes strangely assorted and contradictory principles. But monopoly, the idea | that those engaged in any occupation shall be protected from competition, is | | at the heart of the principal New Deal innovations. As those innovations be- come familiar so does the spirit of monopoly become acceptable to many. An odd and rather startling illus- tration comes from a small Iowa city, Algona, in Kossuth County. In Algona the City Council passed, on October 31, an ordinance which, in part, reads: “The owner, manager or * * * any Carton of One Dozen Carton of One Dozen Carton of One Dozen No matter how much you may say in your letters about the responsibility and integrity of your busi- ness, it is possible that your letterheads may be telling an entirely different story.

The ordinance is careful to state| explicitly that this is a law against | low prices, not against high: “This section shall not prohibit the charging of prices in excess of those herein set out.” I may be quite wrong, and if so 1| should like to be informed, but it| seems to me improbable that any city | council ever did anything like this| before. Laws prohibiting high prices, !*or fixing prices at a certain level, have | been common. There have been fre- | quent incidents of our occasional | waves of opposition to monopoly. This | Algona statute, however, says only that prices shall not go below those | fixed, and explicitly puts no limitation | on how high they may go. 1 The Algona statute provides crimi- | nal penalties: “Not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00), or im- prisonment for not more than thirty (30) days.” This means that any Algona barber who chooses to shave a citizen for | 24 cents, or gives him a “neck shave” One wonders what the Supreme Court would say about that. One wonders | what a local Algona grand jury or trial jury would say. If some rugged | individualist among the Algona bar- | bers violates the law, will 12 of his| fellow-citizens send him to prison? One thing the matter with the United States, one of several, is making| crimes of actions which the average many cases making crimes of actions Reflects New Deal Tolerance. This local action of the Algona City | Council is quite probably an effect of | familiarity with the national example of the New Deal. Apparently it re-| flects tolerance of the-New Deal theory | by the city of Algona is in part an| infection from approval of A. A. A.| in the farm territory nearby. | The New Deal innovations are, marked by this spirit. Under N. R. A. those already in a business could re- | fuse to allow any new competitor to enter. Under A. A. A. only those al- ready engaged in raising a crop are permitted to raise it in the future. With slight qualifications, no farm can be planted in cotton unless the same farm bore cotton before A. A. A. The same is true of pota- toes. The same theory is to be found n the Guffey law controlling coal production. All this is a reversal of the past trend of American thought. If Sena- tor Borah is successful in reviving this old American point of view much of the New Deal must disappear. DISTILLERS OPPOSE CUT IN WHISKY DUTY Kentucky Group Charges Cana- dian Industry Was Built Upon Bootlegging. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 18.— Opposition to the 50 per cent reduc- tion in duty on Canadian whisky was | raised today by Kentucky distillery interests. A. C. Van Winkle, an attorney, rep- resenting more than 20 Kentucky dis- tillers, who presented a brief to the Tariff Advisory Committee, appointed by Secretary Hull, opposing tariff re- ductions, said the Canadian industry was ‘“created, built up and made wealthy through bootlegging methods.” He declared Canada never manu- factured American bourbon-type whisky before prohibition and “mil- lions of gallons of this were boot- legged into the United States.” “We also oppose the move on the ground that Canagian whisky is of & more inferior grade compared to Kentucky whisky,” Van Winkle said. e Boy, 15, Weighs 300 Pounds.
