Political Changes
Fifty years ago the political situa- 1
tion was vastly different. Senators!
then were not elected by the people,
but were appointed by the Govern-;
crs. Hence, most of the Senators |
were either officials of big corpora-
t:ons or wealthy men. The Su- ;
preme Court was then made up of
great lawyers mos; of whom had pre-
viosuly served large corporations, j
There was no income tax in those!
days. All these Cfi’Tgs gave manage-,
men; an advantage over labor and
explains why I felt labor unions 1
should be exempt from the Anti-
Trust law. . |
Today th<
ulat vote
coi 'ists mostly of men who were
Senators are elected by‘
The Supreme Court 1
never officials of large corporations,
out mostly men in humble circum-'
stances. In those days wagework
ers usually voted with their employ- I
ers: while today most of them think
,t's smart to vote directly contrary
to’ what* their employers recommend.!
Labor unions have much more pow- 1
er today than management had fifty
years ago.
Small Businessmen
Those were days when every small
(businessman had a chance to become
'a big businessman. Today under the
present income taxes it is very dif
ficult for any small businessman to I
compete both against big business 1
and big labor unions. Today the
big corporations are “frozen'’ big;
while the little businessman are

doubts about this, write my friend -

study of this sutuauon.
Fifty years ago nati mal advertU-;
mg was unknown except in the case
of patettt medicines and there were
only a few national wecftuie*. and
they had small circulations. The Sat-
urday Evening Post than had only a
hundred th*»ueand. As a result, ad
vertising rates were so low that the

Well, sir, the news is good. Plenty good.
They sweep their eyes ov^r tapering

Because this honey’s priced well under

they can see the road up closer, both fore
