We hold this to be a fundamental principle of democratic government.” The trouble with Democracy is there is not enough of it. It doesn’t take much trouble to worry the small mind. Thirteen million foreigners are making their living in the United States. We are interested to see what the plumbers’ code will have to say about tak- ing tools to the job. The public works program is not in the budget, but it will cost the taxpayers as much as if it-were. ‘| A professor says the country from a surplus of _ brains. quantity, put not in quality. suffers Perhaps in Japan and China have buried the hatchet, but we'll bet both of them know where the handle is sticking out. Driving the money-changers from the temple is made easier because their cus- tomers had no more money to be changéd. When Arkansas’ first two senators en- tered congress in 1836, it was quickly not- ed that each pronounced Arkansas differ- ently and they used to be referred to, one as “the senator from Ar’kansas,” and the other as “the senator from Arkan’saw.” Personal Note: Representative J. Mark Wileox/‘ef the Fourth Florida Gon- gressional District, has returned to Wash- ington, D. C., after a brief sojourn in his district. He is in Washington to aid the Overseas Bridge Commission in its efforts ain a joan to construct bridges over the water gap between Key West and the mainland. to ot Orlando has entered a diamond ball team in a Milwaukee tournament and now the St. Petersburg Independent discovers that the prize is a trip to Florida. The Or- landoans can’t be accused of endangering their amateur standing, but they may de- cide it would be unsportsmanlike to com- pete for a prize they'll get, Miami News. win or lose.— That competition is the life of trade is a fallaey has been proved in nearly every line of endeavor. Before the advent of two competitors The Citizen issued a much better paper than it does today. There were eight pages regularly’ every day, now it is impossible to print but four, except six or eight occasionally. Four valued employees who had been fixtures with this paper for many years were forced to seek employment elsewhere and naturally took their families with them. Those remaining had to take a consider- able reduction jn wages. Where there is no economic need for the existence of a business, either the owners must supply funds froni other sources to make up the losses or the workers must be crucified upon a cross of competition. REVIEWING CONGRESS Here’s one for the taxpayer: The total of all appropriations made by the re- | cent special session of congress, including | those which are classified as “capital ex: | penditures”, is in excess of $4,500,000,000. | When the appropriations of the final ses- ; sion of the 72nd congress are added, the aggregate since December 5, 1932, exceeds | $6,000,000,000. The last session brooks One encouraging sign is that the ex-j traordinary measures, while they appro- priate definite amounts, do not specify that they be entirely spent. In the $3,000,- 000,000 public works bill, for example, it | is doubtful if more than a third of it can | | be used within a year. By the end of that time it may not be necessary to use more. | The old practice of politicians spending i everything they can get hold of may not | ) apply here as administration of this and other bills is supposed to be in the hands of persons who have few or no political obli- gations. ! Also encouraging is the outlook for | tax revenues. For the first time since de- pression began, the government’s internal revenue collections are exceeding those for the same périod a year before. Main rea- | sons for this are the beer and gasoline tax- es, which have been roaring successes. These two taxes, with cigarette and income taxes, were responsible for 67 per cent of all internal revenue during May. Income tax collections, however, have gone down; | decrease during the current fiscal year has been $296,000,000 in comparison to the last. This loss was more than offset by in- creases of revenue of $313,500,000 from the beer tax, together with 25 other new | taxes and five sets of higher rates on old | taxes. More and higher taxes is the or- der of the day. Curiously enough, both the man” capital gains and losses provision of the in- come tax law——-but for definitely differ- ent reasons. Many more millions can be collected through correction of technicali- ties and loopholes in the law. Also to be considered is the possibility of hard liquor and wine taxes—the chances are that the eighteenth amendment will only be a mem- ory within a year, and the revenue from} this source will be large. “common ARE WE NATIONALISTIC? | | The accusation that this country is bent upon a nationalistic policy of isolation and narrow selfishness is open to chal- lenge. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Nations are like families. They must have their own houses in order that they can begin to be hospitable. The home which is not well govern- ed, profitably employed, ‘and self-support- ing cannot long hold the respect of the members of other homes in the neighbor- hood. Nations are no different. Neither a nation nor a family can be- gin to be helpful in community activities | until its own integrity is secure. It is a foolish type of American inter- | nationalist who would have the United yield so much to the whims and de- mands of other countries that our own } people would be impoverished and so weak as to be unable to support any but a help- less and enfeebled government. Sane nationalism must preceed effec- tive internationalism. INDUSTRY. MOVES FORWARD During May, industrial production achieved the largest increase recorded by the Federal Reserve Board’s index in 14 years. Reports in early June show con- tinuance of the advance, Light industries, such as shoes and textiles, are moving to new highs. Heavy industries—steel, lum- | ber, automobiles, etc—are participating | to a lesser extent in the march. Employ- | ‘ment and wage statistics grow more en- | encouraging, and there has been no weak ening in the commodity price rise. Of importance to all business is Na- tional Recovery Administrator Johnson's warning against efforts to increase prices without justification. There will be no price “wild-catting” Effort will be given | to raising the general price level gradually, | | through elimination of unfair competition, ! low wage scales and poor working condi- | tions.
