TODAY, MARCH 22,1985 THE POT AND THE KETTLE President Roosevelt has sent to Congress a strong indict- tneat of public utility bolding companies. Contending that the holding company, a relatively new corporate device, is a danger to our system of competitive capitalism, he has asked the Con- grew to enact legislation giving the holding companies in this field five years to close up their shops, but permitting some to continue if they can prove that their existence is necessary in the public interest. ■ , , Let us assume that Mr. Roosevelt is entirely correct in his indictment. There is a plausible case for either side, but let us give the President the benefit of the doubt. Can he advance his case against Utility holding companies with a clear con­ science and not recognise that his Administration is engaging in precisely the same tactics as holding companies, in a wider field? . . ■ The Roosevelt Administration has made itself a gigantic holding company in which there is being concentrated political and economic power over the forty-eight states and the myriad local units of government, tt looks very much as though the President’s indictment of public utility holding companies is an instance of the pot calling the kettle black. The President says of the utility holding company: ‘Tn its destruction of local control and its substitution of absentee management, it has built up in the public utility field what has justly been called a system of private socialism which is inimical to the welfare of a free people.” We might properly paraphrase the President’s words and say of his Administration after two years: “In its destruction of local control and its substitution of absentee bureaucratic management, it has built up in the realm of government a system of centralized, bureaucratic regimenta­ tion which is inimical to the welfare of a free peopLe committed to democratic self-government.” By utilizing its power over the credit system of the country and stretching its powers under the Constitution almost to the breaking point, the Administration has made itself the creditor of banks, insurance companies, states, cities, and railroads. It has ordered New York City to dismiss certain officials who op­ posed the adoption of policies favored in Washington. It has dominated state and local policies in the administration of many essential local governmental functions. It has wrecked the merit system in a large sector of the Federal Civil Service. It has undertaken to tell farmers how much cotton they can raise, and business men how much piece-goods they can manufacture. This is not to say the President’s attack on public utility , holding companies is unwarranted. That is a question apart. , I t is desirable, however, that Mr. Roosevelt should scan the record of his own Administration critically, and see whether he . and his colleagues have not fallen into the mentality of the holding corahany.in a far wider field, with far greater danger to the welfare of a free people.—The Cincinnati"Enquirer. THE DEMOCRATIC SHOW CONTINUES If any national administration ever became the butt of as many jokes as the present Roosevelt regime we do not know where to look for it in history. The Chicago Tribune gives the most complete detail of the administration starting with President Roosevelt down to the least cabinet officer with the new branches of government, NRA and Relief administrations. Roosevelt is pictured as a lawyer of limited experience be­ ing educated and reared in a wealthy family. Business experi­ ences mostly during World War and nearly all failures. At no time in his life or with his personal business has he had to fear result of a deficit, knowing the family pbckethook was open to him, the only child to inherit a great fortune. Hensy Morgenthau, secretary of the treasury, has had a similar background and similar training. He was regarded as a wealthy gentleman farmer, a neighbor of the Roosevelt family that farmed forty acres, less what was demoted to fancy flowers, stables for polo ponies, and garages for half dozen automobiles. Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture, came into prom­ inence through the reputation of his father, a secretary of agri­ culture under the Harding administration. Wallace has no business record that is outstanding and his farm publishing company is now involved in numerous suits alleging violation of the anti-trust laws . ; H. L. C. Ickes, Chicago attorney, married into a wealthy family, speculated in real estate and commodities. Harry Hopkins, known as the czar in relief, with billions to spend, has never had any business training or experience. His record is a salaried expert relief worker. As for Miss Perkins, who prefers this name to that of her husband, Mrs. Wilson, or even respect for a daughter, has no public record other than from the union standpoint. Donald Richberg, the assistant president, who was desig­ nated such in violation of the constitution, disregarding Vice President Garner, was a union lawyer in Chicago. Most of his life he has managed to keep on a public pay roll spending some other person’s money* We agree with the Tribune that the Roosevelt administra­ tion has had but three men in the cabinet that are worthy of public record from a business standpoint. They are: Hull, Dern and Roper. Their influence is nill on most issues due to the fact the president has surrounded himself with a class of irresponsible Communistic economic advisors, none of whom have over had any actual business experience. One of the most dangerous situations now confronts the American people. It is said from high places in Democratic business circles that not a single one of President Roosevelt’s early advisors are now callers a t the White House. It is said leading Democrats, men high in the counsel of the party in the past, men recognized for their good sound business judgment, are not welcomed and can­ not get a personal interview with the President. The Russian Reds in the White House pick all callers that get to visit the President, It is no wonder that a qertain well known Democratic bank­ er In Ohio stated that he had washed his hands of the National administration and was trying to protect his business along with other far seeing leaders, that we yet face the greatest depres- ‘aion panic or probably a revolution. This Democratic leader knows full well that when 65 cents of every dollar circulating in business channels today is the result of government spend­ ing, that the nation Cannot long stay on its feet. For weeks business has been slipping. More people today have shaken Confidence in Roosevelt than any day since he entered the White House. The prediction is freely made in all quarters that the day we stop squandering government money, will be the recorded flay of the revolution; not reforTft nor recovery. I t will he a day too late for either reform or recovery. i A Cincinnati woman has written the Of the thousands of complaints of Ohio legislature on the need of an misuse of HOLC funds the worst automobile driver’s license law.

Presidential household, The advant- Fresident Roosevelt tried to force a World Court vote through the Senate but lost out. Both Ohio senators voted against the World Court plan. With trouble on European soil there is fair ’prospect that the first nation to fall victim of the Hitler forces would be France. I f such should come the next you would hear would be an appeal across the water asking the U. S. for help. As France owes this nation many millions of dollars and has refused to pay it would not make a large section of the American people mad if Hitler should spread some shell-fire that would again put Paris on the anxious seat. Then Hitler could give some warning to England as to what was wanted there, Eng­ land, like France, has backed up on payment of her debt to America. I t might not be a bad idea to use H it­ ler as our collecting agent.- On the other hand this money would only be a bother to the Roosevelt economic anarchists, who are trying to destroy everything the nation now owns. many complain that they cannot get information as to the status of their applications. Congress likely I t is surprising what information you can pick up a t various times when sojourning in these parts.. We had occasion sonie days ago to be seated opposite a gentleman a t a table in a favorite dining place in a nearby city. We had no more than been seated until we noticed an insignia that in­ dicated our strange friend was a com­ mander of the American Legion in some, other state. By observing our insignia it was not long until both discovered in their travels they had been over the same road. One of the first questions asked was, “What was back of the Roosevelt fight a gainst Gov, Davey?” Giving him the background we soon discovered he had no use for the Roosevelt admin­ istration, although admitted he came from a. long line of Democrat families in West Virginia, a grandfather hav­ ing once served in the legislature in that state. To meet a Democrat that is openly opposed to the Roosevelt administra­ tion is a pleasure. We also learned the gentleman, was head ' of a large lumber company in his^atate. This prompted some important questioning concerning the famous “Roosevelt noble experiment” a t Reedsville, W. Va. This is the famous new Roose­ velt Communistic community where four, five afnd six room readycut houses cost an everage of $7,500 com­ plete, all a t the expense of the tax- paying public, You will also recall that these houses were erected with­ out provision for'fire, no chimneys, yet'the location is alongside a moun­ tain, There were bathrooms but no provision for water or sewerage and the plumbing had been installed by everyone but a plumber. A large mail order house furnished lumber, plumb­ ing, roofing, everything. We remarked that President Roose­ velt had some months ago named the head of a large Chicago mail order house on a very important govern­ ment board, this same concern fu r­ nishing the material for the Reeds- ville community housing project of 350 houses. At this point our stranger friend became warmer and unfolded an interesting story. As his com­ pany Was in the mill lumber business all code provisions had to be observ ed yet when this same Roosevelt ap­ pointee asked for prices o rta number of cars of a certain grade of lumber, it was soon found that code prices played no part in the transaction. The mall order head replied that he had a price of $80 a car lower. The head of the lumber company was in a. rage and stated he had given prominent Senate leaders the information, b . S» U. MILITARY TRAINING While the American Legion may have the best of reasons from its viewpoint for compulsory military training a t the O. S. U„ there is no question that a majority of the people are op- poMfl to it in at least two ways, All church organizations oppose i t , ' Another group favors making it optional. We also find that most boys that have been forced to take military drill also oppose it. Our view is that it should be optional. FWSALEANDWANT ADSPAYBfG Ail of this should make interest­ ing reading especially to those,in the lumber business, I t is a fair sample of the mockery of the Roosevelt ad­ ministration and how little chance small business has under King Franklin’s rule. The administration has taken a stab a t farm interests to help hold down prices on wheat, oats, corn, hay, eggs and butter in the in­ terest of city consumers who are clamoring over excessive high pi'iccs. The Roosevelt administration is lift­ ing the tariff embargo to permit free entry of these commodities in com­ petition with what the farmer has to sell. I t will be interesting to note that hotels and restaurants as well as housewives have been getting sugges­ tions as to how to prepare meats and reduce the use of wheat products as well as holding down Oh the use of meats, Wheat, eggs and butter con­ tinue to decline in prices as the re­ sult of the administration policy. I t’s about time for another of those famous “Roosevelt fireside, ehate.” A gullable public is gradually getting its eyes opened and will soon be able to differentiate between the truth and political bombast, age of a divorce in a commercial di- provide additional funds for loaning., vorce court is that you -can have a s tThe trouble with the little fellow is many wives legally in a year as you that Roosevelt’s “forgotten man” in can get divorces and thus not violate most cases is the Democratic politi- the laws of polygamy, clan th a t has taken what he wants for k ...... . himself or soma of his friends.
