A DEMOCRATIC WARNING
Recent expressions by leaders in
Congress indicate that they are be
ginning to recognise the damage
that is being done to private industry
and employment by governanmt com
petition. Chaii^man Steagall (Dem.,
Ala.) of the House Banking and
Currency Committee is the latest to
sound warning against continued use
b of government funds to the paraly
zing of private business.
' In asking that the new appropria
tion for the Home Owners Loan Cor
poration be held to tfife absolute min
imum necessary for meritorious
cases, Chairman Steagall told the
House in open session:
"There are reasonable grounds for
expecting a resumption of normal
business by lending institutions. But
it is impossible so long as we stand
ready to carry on this business in
definitely with the help of the
Treasury."
GovernmenMn-business Is a two
fold measure, (because it reduces the
Operations of private organizations
and individuals on the one hand, and
levies heavier taxes on them to pay
for the inefficiency of bureaucracy
on the otlhter. And taxes take their
toll constantly, ceaselessly, relenless
iy.
Mr. Steagall is correct in his con
clusion. It is im(pos Bible for private
business to resume noifmal operat
ions as long as competitive business
is carried on "with the help of the
Treasury."
TAXES PILED ON TAXES
For a great many years a large
part of the public has looked with
dread to the appearance of Federal
income tax day. Individuals and
industries are forced to turn in to
the treasury vast sum that might
otherwise have been used for invest
ment, building and the creation of
employment.
Now tihe citizens of the country
dont face merely one Income tax
day-millions of them face two and
)Bven three. In tUhfo city of New York,
for example, residents must pay the
federal income tax, a state income
tax, and finally a municipal income
tax. A similar situation is injet by
the citizens of New Castle County,
Deleware, which is now lervying a
county Income tax* in addition to
the state and federal taxes, as a
means of financing relief expenses, i
The aim of legislatures these days
soohms to be to pile up as many taxes
on top of taxes as a long-suffering
publio will stand. The upshot is that
the tax collector, in many cases, 1*
receiving all tho surplus a business
or an individual earns. There is no
money left for investment,for home
construction, for industrial expansion
And the cause of recovery suffers
accordingly.
One wonders muoh longer the
public's patience will last. America
is becoming one of the most tax
ridden nations on earth- and only
an aggressive, informed and active
public movement against exorbitant
ly expensive government can save
us from eventual tax bankruptcy.

NO MAGIC
Farm people now realize that there
is nothing magical about cooperative
institutions; they require cold, hard,
practical business procedure, said the
Secretary of the National Coopera
tive Council recently.
Any farmer who expects cooper
ative managements to ipull economic
rabbita out of a hat is obviously
doomed for disappointment* And so
is any farmer who believes that if
he joins a co-op all of his problems
will be solved in jig-tifcne, and his
bank account will immediately start
to swell. Sound cooperatives work
jslowly and carefully. They plan for
the long pull, rather tihan transitory
benefits. They take no steps tihat are
not building for a sound and pros
perous future ? they seek eventual
Stability, and they know that cannot
be achieved through legerdemain.
It speaks well for the foresight of
the American farmer that he has
stuck stubbornly to his cooperative
during depression, when it seemed
that little or no progress was being
made. Now titoe fruits of that are
beginning to appear; the farm in
come is rising, new markets are
being developed, the arduous job of
adjusting supply and demand is
slowly being completed. It looks as
if agriculture is entering a period
of genuinely better times.
NEW RED CROSS JOB
Plans for a new and important ac
tivity, that of reducing the automo
bile death and accident rate, are being
made by the American Red Cross,
which this year is celebrating the 30th
anniversary of its incorporation un
der its present charter.
Briefly stated, tth*e proposal is to
establisha set work of first aid sta
tions along the highways and streets,
using filling stations, police booths
and offer existing facilities, the
personnel of which would be given
some instruction in first aid meth
ods. Mobile first aid units would
include public utility and highway
commission trucks, tank trucks and
buses, some of which already carry
emergency equipment and persons
trained in first aid.
The possibilities of the plan are
readily recognized, and tfhte expense
of providing the necessary first aid
kits and the training of personnel
whose regular duties kept them on
the highways would not be great.
First Aid, the Red Cross believes,
should wQtfenever possible be given at
the spot where the accident occurs,
until proper mjedical aid can be
summoned. Many deaths occur frofcn
rushing injured persons into ordi
nary automobiles and speeding them
to (hospitals without giving them
temporary relief and intelligent at
tention.
The new undertaking is a most
praiseworthy one, which will no
doubt have the hearty cooperation of
all who are able to assist in making
it effective.
