Politicians Change Views
On Competition Monopoly
(Continued from Page 1.)
opoly," a book no genuine trust
magnate would dare touch with the
traditional 10 foot pole.
A natural question is, how ex
plain this sudden change in atti
tude on the part of prominent men
in different fields. Are V. j right
now ? If so. weren't they wrong
during the first few years of the
depression ? Perhaps the answer
is that then they centered their
attention too much on some single
industry. Now they are viewing our
entire industrial life as a unit and
are considering the long term in
terests of everyone.
Pre-Depression Mergers.
For a numbe of years prior to
1!1.!0 merging, production control,
agreements in regard to price, and
informal arrangements that re
stricted competition paid, or at
least seemed to pay. the individual
firms involved. Altho in those
years the geneial price level re
mained about stationary, many
specific prices were weakening.
Profits, here and there, were pre
carious. In order to avoid being
among the losers the natural thing
was to merge or agree with ones
rivals in regard to competition
conditions. Often when this was
done stability for awhile resulted.
Paper profits, at least, increased.
The lawyers and executives who
were responsible for making and
carrying out the necessary plans
were delighted. At last they came
to believe that only our anti-trust
legislation stood in the way of a
sensible rationalization of Ameri-
I can business.
What these men failed to note
was that their own temporary
successes endangered all industries
I where competition remained keen.
Incidentally it was of course in
the field of agriculture that some
I of the best, but by no means the
i only, examples of the latter in-'
I dustries were to be found. Any
I how with approximately half of
i our economic life controlled and
the other half the prey of com
petitive forces made keener by the
lessening of competition elsewhere,
The whole structure of business
and social life began to totter.
Half Regimented, Half Free.
Probably someone has said Ion,'?
before this that an industrial sys
tem that is half regimented an I
half free is in grave danger of
! collapse. At all events the cxp
! lience of the past ten years proves
i that the statement is true. When
j ever price changes lose all siei.i
j blance of uniformity our system
is without an effective stabilizing
i influence. Exchange between in
! dustries can no longer be con
i tinned on a satisfactory basis.
I Of course not all price rigidities
1 are due to mergers and restrictive
; agreements. Where a few large
, firms dominate in uny one field
competition is not of the orthodox
type. A sudden decline in sales
I may bring no appreciable decline
I in price. For example, a recent
j siudy shows that in the automo
j bile industry when sales were at
i their lowest, pi ices declined but

10 percent from the prosperity
level. It was deemed better by
each firm to cut production over
70 percent rather than start a
price war that could benefit no one
ultimately. For a year or so any
one of the "big three" could have
produced all of the cars that were
being sold in the cheap car class.
In general, tho, the rigidities of
our price structure are due to ar
rangements that smack of illegal
ity. It is natural, then, that as
we attempt to rebuild all business
on firmer foundations the monop
oly question should again come to
the fore. However, unlike the is
sue as it was presented in 1912,
it is not a question of good big
business vs. bad big business as
Theodore Roosevelt told us, or the
elimination of unfair competitive
practices as declared by Woodrow
Wilson. Instead it appears to us
more as it did to Mr. Taft a ques
tion of the proper interpretation
and conscientious enforcement of
the laws already on the statute
books.
Our Coal Today.
The goal of today also differs
from that of 24 years ago. Then
we wished to loosen the grip on
our business and political life of
the famous but wicked malefactors
of great wealth. Now, some 24
years later, our fear of that some
what nebulous group is vanishing.
What we are interested in is giv
ing to our industrial structuie the
balance and stability that only a
fair degree of competition " in
every business area can bring. Of
course no one expects perfect com
petition to prevail anywhere. Per
fect competition is admittedly an
unattainable ideal, but it is an
ideal that can be used as a very
real standard. Only as it is ap
proached in the majority of our
industries can we expect our eco
nomic system to be free from the
constant clanger of serious pros
tration. For this reason all Americans
should rejoice that the responsible
heads in both the republican and
lemocratic parties realize at last
tlie importance of that almost for
gotten leading issue of the Bull
Moose campaign, the trust prob
lem question. As both display a
cal and intelligent interest in the
companion problem of agriculture
as well, we middle westerners have
every icnson for being well
pleased.

Rosenlof Claims Secondary
bchool Basis of Democracy
(Continued from Page 1.)
199 pupils; Indiana continues to
have the largest percentage of
schools enrolling 500-999 pupils
ami Wisconsin again has the larg
est percentage of schools enroli
ng more than 1,000. New Mexico
eports the largest gain in schools
of 200-499 pupils."
In his report Dr. Rosenlof
tated that demands for post
graduate work in the high schools
arc very definitely continuing to
grow less. There were 267.CS3
raduates from high schools ac
credited to the association in 1936,
n increase of 11,705 over the
number of the year preceding. The
boys constituted 47.8 of the total
and the girls 52.2. The investiga

tion revealed that the larger
schools seem to bold the boys more
effectively.
Future Appears Bright.
The future appears bright from
the point of view of the student
in Teachers college. The report
indicates that for the year 1935-
36 a total of 55,243 persons were
employed in educational positions.
The total number of persons em
ployed exceeds that of last year
by 2,357 persons or 4.5 percent.
The full time equivalency for 1935-
37 represents an increase of 6.3
percent over that of last year.
"Briefly stated, the following
facts seem to characterize our
present situation," reports Dr.
Rosenlof:
1. Enrollments continue to in
crease (5.5).
2. The average size of high
schools is larger.
3. The trend toward reorgani
zation continues with emphasis
on the five and six year high
school.
4. The average length of the
school year continues to grow.
5. A decreasing number of
schools are maintaining class
periods of 65 or more minutes
while the number maintaining
class periods of 55 to 65 minutes
is increasing slightly.
6. Qualifications of teachers
continue to improve.
7. Larger schools still find it
more difficult to maintain the
standard pupil-teacher ratio.
