Senator Gomez tried to amend a bill to exclude from the seventh cent tax all} gasoline used for farming and boating, but he lost without a roll-call vote. The elimination of this tax from boating would have been a great help to local faaeemen. | GOVERNMENT COMPETITION The report of the special committce of the house of representatives which has been investigating government competi- tion with private business, is a strprising document. It shows that government competition extends to the amazing total of 232 dif- ferent businesses which are legitimately of a private nature. They include the fields of transportation,” manufacturing, “| merchandising, farming, banking, print- ing, architecture—and even amusements. |. The government opefates cleansing and pressing establishments, sells serums and other medical préparations, makes paints and varnishes, conducts a ware- housing business, and so on through a long and amazing list of activities. In most instances, this governmest competition can not be met by. private con- cerns. No business has the prime advan- tage of government—tax freedom. None is able to conceal its deficits through treasury appropriations. Few are large enough to exert the purchasisg power of the government. When the government steps in to any field of business a certain part of that field is definitely lost. Every added item of government com- petition, by reducing the profits of private industry, diminishes the government’s source of taxes and adds to the tax rate of what is left. So far, government competition with the bulk of businesses has been on a com- paratively small scale. But once such competition starts, its growth is simply a matter of time. The committee’s facts are immutable—and they show vividly the need for a thorough reorganizing of gov- ernment to take it out of the field of busi- sess, in the interests of economy, efficiency and opportunity for our citizens. NEW ERA DAWNS Our country has been living in a very stupid mental age. Our people were en- joying a period of considerable ease and prosperity. Invention was doing much for us. Progress in every line of human endeavor was greatly improving human conditions. With so great an advancement, we did not miss what was being taken from us. - There was a general sharing in the profits of progress and where everybody shares in the profits and no supervision is exercised, there is seldom complaint. It was only when the unfair division of these profits upset the general balance and a loss that was universal was ex- perienced that the people stopped to think. Adversity brings all classes together ‘and compels an awakening of the intel- lect. When the people begin to realize that something is wrong and stop to in- quire as to what it is, things begin to hap- pen. It has been so in the present instance of’general misfortune. As soon as the people stopped to in- quire, they saw the answer before them. They recognized the cause of their troubles and they acted. The result is a new era opening for them and an era in’ which they will not again be exploited. SUCCESS TO NEW ADMINISTRATION One need not be a member of Presi- dent Roosevelt's political party to admire the quickness and aggressiveness with which he has set his administration to solving the major problems of the day. The handling of the banking crisis is being rapidly followed by the same sort of decisive action on other problems. Toward every issue he has touched, has been ex- hibited candor and fearlessness. He is laying permanently at rest the fear that he might pursue an oecasionally radical course—his speeches to the American peo- ple, with his reiterated stand for sound money, less bureaucracy, decisive euts in the cost of government,have met the over- whelming approval of the public. And that approval is evidenced in the congress by a disposition to obey the president’s every impulse—+as is shown by its rapid passage of his emergeney and economy measures, ° Te wish success for President Roose- velt is simply to wish success for one’ state, one’s buiness, one’s self. In him is the hope of the American people for re- covery and for a great future. His ad- ministration has got off to a_ brilliant start——may there be no wavering during its existence.
