..I was talking to a man the other
day and he said, "Everything in the
world has gone down: why ain't conditions
normal?" I explained to him
that while everything in the world
that grows out of the earth or is dug
out of the earth is cheaper, the following
things have not declined:
I 1..Postage stamps,
2.. Freight rates,
3.0.Telephone rates, (yet),
4. .Passenger fares, (generally), >
5..Pullman fares,
6. .Taxes,
7..Street car rides, v
8. . Hospital costs,
9. .Cutting out gall stones, ^
10. .Gas rates,
11. .Automobile tags, V
12... Most federal jobs,
13. .Gold-rimmed specs,
14. .Just specs,
15. . Motor oil,
16. .Moth balls,
17..Church dues, (if possible),
18. .Dog tax, ?
19. .'Soft drinks,
20..Speed cops,
21..And pig chitterlings.
. .1 think it would be much better
if we would sell the Philippines to
Japan instead of just turning 'cm
over to her. We might as well move
out and begin charging those folks
duty on their stuff. We are losing
money on those islands at present.
Japan seems to like her China, and
might not want any more countries
for a while. They ought to fetch
about 1,000,000 yen a little later on.

..The best way to treat the "lame
ducks" is....give each one of them
a pair of crutches and let them walk
home. The voters will see that they
never wander off into politics again.
'Had it not been for lame ducks, we
would have 25,000 fewer bureaus and
commissions and useless jobs. Most
of the discarded congressmen are
holding jobs that they don't know a
darned thing about.
.. Most of my customers went off. the
gold standard in 1929. They forsook
the silver standard in 1930. They
discarded the green back standard in
1931. They abandoned the bank
check standard in 1932. Now they
are swapping eggs and pullets and
turnip sallet for the things I have
and can't sell for money, as there
ain't any money any more.

IS AMERICAN INITIATIVE AND
ENTERPRISE A MYTH?
The people of the United States
have a reputation for initiative and
enterprise.
They start things and they finish
them.
They hav? a chance now to demonstrate
their ability as never before.
' Everyone is waiting for "business
to pick up." But business won't pick
up of its own accord. It will pick up I
when the desire and the determination
to do something rises again in
our national consciousness. >
There are about 26 or 30 million
families in the United States. This
means that there are some 30 million
men -who are actual producers.
Payrolls depend on construction
activity?the building and upkeep of
homes, factories and enterprises
which consume every imaginable product.
Building has been going down
steadily for the past several years
until it has become almost stagnant.
Thousands of structures are deteriorating
because of lack of repairs,
puint, rotting foundations, leaky
plumbing, worn out heating plants,
crumbling chimneys and a thousand
and one other things which have been
let go.
Never in years could repair work
or new construction be done as cheaply
as today.
There are millions of individuals
and industries in this country that
havo savings and are well able to
carry on necessary improvements
now.
. Starting a few million jobs, varying
in amounts from ten dollars to
a fow thousand dollars each, would
release an avalanche of money and
start the wheels of industry.
Employment would1 increase; our
notioja would take heart and commerce
ami industry would slowly regain
a normal stride.
Before long this improvement
would bo reflected in other nations.
No amount of legislation or political
panaceas involving increased taxation
and greater public burdens, can
do a fraction of the good that the
people can do for themselves by exercising
our much-prized American
initiative and enterprise.
Do it nowl Investment and employment
are cheaper than charity!
All through passenger trains of the
Pennsylvania railroad are now being
operated by electricity between New
York and Wilmington, Delaware.
