THE ORACLE ————— ————— 18 BIGNESS IN BUSINESS WRONG? n lens th Monopolistic trends in business have sed concern to economists, politicians | well-informed American citizens. The Federal Trade Commission haz called at- tention to the big merger movement hich resulted in the disappearance of | 2,500 “formerly independent” man- eecturing and mining concerns — since 08. It inimates that free enterprise will »me collectivism unless giant corpora- are prohibited from increasing their gowere at the expense of small business. The FTC would check the trend by bepesing direct regulation to prevent mer- dere which lessen competition. It would #iyethe Government power, by law, to brevent the purchase of one company’s physical assets by another company if to iminish competition would be the result. The inereasing growth of business inte larger and larger corporations has made many thoughtful persons realize thetul private corporations grow so big and powerful as to menace individual freedom, the Government will have to take action t» limit corporate growth or else sternly lice the practices of corporations. Obviously, when business organiza- ne become so large as to operate above <isting laws, it will be necessary for the ernment, in the interest of society, to ire sufficient power to deal with the isiness units. Certainly, no government af exist unless it is more powerful than the units, individuals or corporate, that perate within its field. How to prevent taneevils of consolidation and retain the advantages that go with large-scale op- eations is the economic problem now «onfronting the people of this country. r Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney, of ‘Wyoming, points out that as companies be- some more immense and powerful, “big Jubor” arises to bargain with them and, }f necessity, “big government” becomes Jiewer to regulate the two. He thinks that The trend to bigness threatens the fight of Deoples and communities to control their veonomic lives and that it may be neces- in defense of the rights of the mass { people, for the government to take over ich business Facing this situation, some financial ®xperts think that the corporations are de- Yeloping advance social concepts and in- freasingly humanizing their relations with workers. The idea is that the corporate fnterprises are becoming aware of their responsibility to the public, as well as to 4heir customers, with recognition of the ¢orporation as an avenue to give expres- sion to human values, Recognizing the possible evil, it is hhuite likely that the people of the country >!) demand legislation to safeguard their duterests and that, inthe long run, some way will be devised to retainthe advan- tages that accrue to bigness in business without serious diminution of the rights @f human beings. _ > ares “DOESN’T MAKE SENSE According to unofficial information from Tallahassee, among the measures that will be introduced at the next session of the legislature will be one that will im- pose a tax of five percent on income from hotel rooms. The Miami Beach Hotel Association has already rolled up its sleeves to fight the proposed bill. Members say that if such a bill should become a law in Florida, it “will kill the goose that lays the golden é That “goose” already is being killed in Key West in the most discriminatory taxation imaginable. For instance, if you build a house of 10 rooms in Key West and rent the house in its entirety, you will pay no ta other than the usual realty taxes. Besides, if you rent those rooms as offices, you will not be required to pay additional taxation, but if you rent them as places in which people are to sleep, you must pay an additional tax to the city on each room. Further, if you divide that 10-room house into two apartments, the city steps for- ward to make you pay a tax on each apart- ment. What applies to a rooming house also applies to hotels is Key West. Owners are required to pay a tax on each room. Among the apartment buildings jin Key West is one with 24 apartments. The owner is taxed $7.50 on each apartment, in addition to hisad valorem taxes on the entire building. If he converted these apartments into offices, he would not be required by the city to pay an additional penny on them. That sleeping-room and apartment law in Key West is as discriminatory as any other law that has ever been passed in this or any other county. The law is not only discriminatory but is distorted in its conception. It surely would be refreshing for the authors of the ordinance to explain, if an owner rents his house in its entirety for, say, $100 a month and is not required to pay a further tax, why should he be compelled to pay if he divides that house into two apartments and rents each for $50 a month. In that case he pays $7.50 on each apartment, or if he rented rooms in that same house, for which he pays nothing additional when rented in its entirety, the city compels him to pay a tax on each room. inally, the additional tax on rooms and apartments is double taxation, besides being discriminatory. That discrimination “doesn’t make sense,” as owners of rooming .houses and apartments in Key West have declared, time and again. It is a great thing to doa little thing well. The road to success jis traveled by executives who know how to use new plans when old ones fail. Nobody ever built a successful busi- s on excuses for not doing the work, re- gardless of how good the excu are. USING AIRPLANES IN FARMING While farmers of the nation have taken liberally to the idea of mechaniza- tion, one cannot say that they are over- burdened with tfactors, farming imple- ments and machines to do the work of men and animals. While there is room for further devel- opment, these lookers-ahead are suggest- ing that farmers will get considerable benefits as soon as airplane-makers de- velop a flying machine which will be “an efficient, all-purpose farm tool.” This is what we call looking into the future, but, as most of the readers of The Citizen know, there are many airplane companies interested in pest-control ser- vice by air. From California comes news that airplanes are being used to plant rice. Insect control was the first job to be under- taken by airplanes but the flying machines have been used for weed control and ferti- lizing. John A. McKeag, writing in Reclama- tion Era, suggests that heliocopters come closer to meeting the farmers’ needs than other machines. While they cost more to begin with, they fly more slowly and of erate more economically, when ong ‘ton- siders that there isless drift inthe spray that they spread. He thinks that the use of aircraft will be a “great boon to the fam- ily-size farm,” making it unnecessary for the individual farmer to purchase a vari- ety of expensive equipment and that the work could be spread over a number of small farms with per acre cost as low as on efficient, larger operations, THE KRY WEST CITIZEN _NOTICE TO CREDITORS we IN THE COURT OF THE Ce JUDGE, MONROE ggg OUNT: FLOMIDA, “ “2 IN PROBATE. rt 3 nown To All Creditors and Pei Said Kstate: You and each of you.are hereby notified and required to present any dd demands which you, or either of you, may have against the stino Castillo, some- times known as Fausto fastillo; deceased, late of said County, to the County Judge ef Monroe “County; Florida, at his office In the court house of said County:at Key West, Florida, within, eight calendar iret claims. estate of Fa months from ‘the time’ ofthe publication -of this notices claim or demand shall, he, ia, writ- dng, and shall state the place of res- Idence,.amd, nest: pitice, address of the claimant, and shall be sWorn to, claimant, his agent, or his and/any such olaingior de- .
