Supreme Need of Hour
Is to Strengthen Business
New York, Nov. 17.?The supreme
leeil and duty of the-hour is to
trengthen business; for upon active
md wholesome business depends the.
cell being of all the people, lotnv- ?
,'nited States Senator Albert J. Bcviridge
of Indiana told the New York
State Chamber of Commerce at its
innual banquet ton'ght.
"The present depression is no': a
.ansieut economic phnse due to an
inhappy state of mind on the part
d business men or the people gen'rally:
and it is not to be improved
>y the methods of college cheer leadrs
at football games," Mr. Beveridge
aid. "On the contrary, those infla'.onists
of hope who tell us that prosperity
is just around the corner when
t is not there but far away, do not
udp but positively hurt business.
"They sow broadcast dragon's teeth
>f distrust. For when the people gc
iround the corner and fail to find tht
promised prosperity, but are again
old that it is around the next cornei
md again fail?when this process it
repeated three or four times, the peo
ule lose confidence. Faith is killedI
jy disappointment.
"Now is the time for plain speak11
it by men who have graduated from
mbition. l.et us frankly know the
irorst at once. We have been rather
fed up on 'the glad hand'; we need
instead, a period of 'brass tacks.'
"One of the immediate causes of the
. rceping paralysis from which business
is suffering is the plight of the
railroads.
"Today railway rates are oppressive,
railway facilities inadequate,
railway employees dissatisfied and rebellious,
railway equipment impaired,
railway capita! reduced and imperilled.
Until these conditions are bettered.
all forecasts of good times are
the mere matter of politicians, the
crafty wiles of men who have axes
to grind, or the senseless incoherences
of pipe dreamers.
"Almost ten years ago I denounced
as the invisible government, the
sway of those financial conspirators
who sought to dominate the nation.
That cabal of cunning and avarice
has been overthrown. But another
invisible empire has been established
as evil and dangerous as that of the
dethroned autocracy of wealth. This
new assailant of ordered liberty and
American institutions is the close and
i liWtul niwnttrnflfm tltncn in on WVIA
have made themselves masters of labor
unions.
"Organized capital and organized
labor alike can be made useful to all
men and helpful to the republic, but
neither shall be permitted to oppress
any man, woman or child, or to govern
the American people.
"The methods by which the Adamson
law was forced on the statute
hooks raised an issue as vital and
basic as that which brought on the
Civil War?indeed the Adamson law
issue went to the very existence of
government itself.
"When organizations, by threat to
strangle the nation, can dictate laws
for their own advantage at the expense
of all the people, then regular
government by all for the good of all
is annihilated; and, in place of it is
substituted the erratic despotism of
particular groups for their special
purposes to the injury of the country
as a whole.
"At all cost, the Adamson law issue
should have been fought out to the
finish the moment it appeared. Sooner
or later it must be settled and every
day's delay will make matters worse
in the end. Differences over mere
questions of policy can "be comprom
isnd
"The ultimatus delivered to the government
bl labor despots was obeyed
and the Adamson law enacted in the
exact form ordered and at the exact
time ordered. It was the most shameful
and humiliating event in the
American history. From it have come
many of the industrial plagues with
which, since then, the nation has been
and is afflicted.
"The next blow at the nation's
transportation system was dealt by
the government itself. We went to
war shamefully unprepared; and, in a
storm of confusion, excitement and
panic, the raliways, gravely weakened
financially but with operating forces
still regemented although restive,
were taken from their harassed and
distracted owners and run by the National
Administration.
"Then followed that saturnalia of
mismanagement which left those
properties hound and gagged by
agreements, regulations and working
rules.
"Immediate action is vital. Most
rates must come down, and especially
ind farthest those on basic necessities
ike fuel and foodstuffs; and, therefore,
since wages and rates are inseparable,
wages must also come
lown.
"Our whole economic system has
>een inflated to the bursting point
tnd general deflation was and is inlispensable.
The farmers have delated,
business men have deflated,
nost other labor has deflated or is delating;
and railrond labor must unlergo
that common, universal and nec
j i
!?SUry priHT'-ss Hiutuu inuur juuauuii
n the production of the absolute neessitics
of human life such as coal,
lousing, food and transportation, is
>ne of the principal elements in the
iigh cost of living; and normal wages
n such industries is indispensable to
iorninl prices.
"The Adamson law must be repeald.
Tlie war-time labor classificaions,
regulations and socalled 'Naional
Agreements' must be abolished,
"hat curious contriver of makeshifts,
he socalled Labor Board, that tells
%
#
the railway owners how much they
must spend, must be connected with
that other organ of our bureaucracy,
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which tells the railway owners how
much they may reiecvo. If railways
arc to continue to suffer straight-jacket
regulation, at least let there be coordination
between outlay and income.
The contract made by the government
with the railway owners when
the lines were taken by the administration
must be carried out, the indebtedness
of the roads to the government
for improvements funded and
that of the government to the roads
paid?all is provided in the agreement.
Thus railway insolvency will
be averted, hundreds of millions expended
on equipment and betterments,
scores of thousands of now idle workingmen
employed, and nil industry
vitalized.
"In short the railway Dill passed
by the house months ago; and held up
in the senate, must be espeedily enacted
into law, without mutilation or
fundamental change. Sound business
requires and honor demands it.
"No ned fear revival of railway
autocracy; a new industrial factor,
the automobile, will moderate railway
earnings. Auto trucks and motor
busses are already making heavy
reductions in short.-haul freight rfnd
passenger railway revenue.
"If .business is to revive, investing
capital must be freed as far as possible.
The excess profits tax must be
repealed?it ought to have been abolished
when the pretext for it disappeared.
"In place of these intricate, involved
and destructive war expedients which
weaken and destroy business, give us
a plain, simple, easily understood revenue
system, based on business principles,
which will, at once, work less
hardship on all the people and permit
business to get into action.
"In the end we must put a tax on
expenditures?a non-cumulative tax
on sales?while all, alike and equally,
must pay in exact proportion to purchases.
That would be a genuine and
honest tax on wealth.
"A sales tax is open, above board,
and in plain light of day. It is fixed,
certain and cannot be multiplied at the
expense of the consumed by Underground
mnninulatirm.
"If the genius and energy which
our best minds are devoting to the
Disarmament Conference shall, after
the brilliant success which we know
will crown their efforts in that historic
parley, be employed in devising
and executing ways and means to increase
American trade in these regions
allotted to us by nature, we
might possibly secure desperately
needed markets for our surplus. If
so, more idle laborers would be given
work than were provided with jobs
by the Unemployment Conference.
"But even the highest statecraft is
not, alone, sufficient; it must, be supported
by the sense and sentiment of
a staunch, patient, levelheaded, highminded
people. The situation will apply
the supreme test to American
character and to American institutions.
"But never doubt that we shall prevail.
American statesmanship will be
equal to the demand; American charinstitutions
will prove adequate and
vindicate, once more, the wisdom of
the founders of the republic."
