The fourt decided that the grants, being for public works, were constitutional. This settles the lcgad side of a much dehat-.d question. It d"es not settle the much more impor tant question of the wisdom of a democracy proniotiong socialism. The policy of cur g vernment sub sidizing munieipal ties to build tax-exemp electric plants, is but the fiist step toward undermining private enterprise as we have known it in our nation. Once en trencehd, the politicians will ex tend their hold to other businesses. l.j practically every instance, towns which have accepted Fed c al grants and loans to build municipal electric plants were ade quately and economically served by heavily taxed, publi.ly regu lated private electric companies. When these towns took the grants factually public doles.) it meant that all the taxpayers took the 1 tins, it meant that every local ] ropery-owner was mortgaged to pay part of the cost of providing . .service which she had already c Toyed without financial respon bility on his part. The people should not be bl nd cd to the ultimate danger of such : government policy—each time it . extend.d, their f m private l ights ar.d liberties are redu ed, Feb' own opportunities to make i n independment living are re stricted and the iorn hand of of ficialism tightens its grasp on the individual citizen. I- TNALIZING THE POOR Tt i« a rotrble fa<t that a great c ! f the most telling opposition f- tax ire; rnd 1 gis’ating chain nd other 1 rge-scale nv r hand s rr yy stems out < f business, he i >me from liberal and radical 5pokesmen a”d publcutionr. These si u ces c r.' ha.ulj be cal-1 leu tile voice of “big business” or “entrenched wealth." But they ap nrecite the manifold virtues of mass distribution of necessities in making life easier for the laborer, •he small-salaried worker and other persons of moderate means to whom the difference of a f *w cen’rs in all manner of oommodi-j ties is of great moment. If these low-cost outlets are des troyed, the poor will bear the brunt of increased prices. Nothing else can happen because excessive tv- punitiv taxee on low-cot retail prices up, it buys but ten, where ;t bought five pounds of meat, it buys four. This is vitally impor ’•>nt to those milPons of families facing t.he week’s wage pay the! reek’s bills. Low-cost merchandising. wh<th •r of food, clothes, furniture, lardware or anything else—is the >eor man’s friend. It came into »xistence, not to s°rve the weal thy, but to serve the masses of people to whom the living budget ;s a very real issue. When our ’awmakers hamper of destroy low cost merchandising. they are chiefly penalizing the man o woman who works for a smaP ’■alary, or wages, or who lives on an annuity or a p nsion.
