The world does not owe us a living unless we go out and earn it. Those who get a living otherwise are either thieves or parasites if there is work they can ge: and are able to do. Inasmuch as representative gov ernment functions on the taxation of private property, government tax exemption and ownership of the pro ductive machinery of the nation is in vilation of our system of govern- ment. Representative government cannot function on revenue that does not exist.

Big Business A LOT of the writing and talking that’s going Oh these days about "big” business seems to miss one pretty important point. In judging bigness solely by such things as number of employees, size of payrolls, or volume of tales, it overlooks the size of the job the particular business is required to do. After all, any business exists because there’s a demand for the things it produces or the services it renders. And it must either grow to the size necessary to satisfy these demands, or else make way for a competitor that can provide what ia wanted. The war has shown that America’s factories and farms can meet demands that would have been fantastic in pre- ( war years. This is a big country; there will be as big job* to be done in peacetime as any the war produced. It will take the right kind of "big” business to do them. And whether it operates a 100-acre farm, a garage, a bank, or an industry with 100,000 employees—this kind of big business, which serves the public satisfactorily and with integrity, will con-, tinue to be the foundation of America’s strength and security, in peace as in war.
