One fashionable argument in favor of increased gover .
ment meddling in business has been the opinion advanced by .
some ‘liberal’ economists that’ this country’s business struc.
ture has ‘arrived at maturity.” In other words, it is argued
that business can no longer take care of its problems of idle
capital and idle manpower unless government steps in and
“helps.” .
The London Economist recently paused long enough in’
the midst of the problems of a nation at war to take a pot shot
at this theory. As an impartial and learned observer, its words
are worth listening to. Here’s what the Economist says:
“If the United States, with its vast areas, its low debt, its
inexhaustible natural resources, its rising population, is a
mature economy, what is Great Britain? And yet our ‘decadwas standing stil! to so ahead as fast as on the average of the
great Victorian era of expansion.
“The American economy seems to have forgotten, for
the moment, how to grow. But the probable explanation of
this economic anaemia is to be found not in any arrival at ‘maturity.’ but rather in the existence of institutional obstructions
to a free flow of capital.”
Perhaps. as the Economist broadly hints, the reason that
business and industry have not gone ahead very rapidly in recent vears can be traced right back to the interference of those
theorists in government and politics who believe that America
is growing old and who pass misguided legislation and restrictions against industry on that basis!—Contributed.
Heavy Reading . .
ia
Even if you go in for reading on a heavy scale, you probably won't have the Code of Federal! Regulations, now beino
published by the Government Printing Office. on your book
shelves. When completed. it will include 23 volumes and 27.000 pages and we don’t know how many words — which
makes it considerably bigger than the Encyclopedia.
Yet much of the material contained in this lengthy compilation is of direct concern to you as a citizen. For it is going
to contan a complete record of the things that various governmental agencies—none of them directly elected by the citizens
of this country—have forbidden Americans to do.
The number of these agencies. and the extent to which
their actions today affect the life of the ordinary man or woman in this land of ours, is truly staggering. ge
The Logan-Walter Bill, now in Congress. is an attemot
to guarantee the individual fair judicial protection against the
sometimes arbitrary actions of these dozens of quisa-lezislative boards and commissions. The actual physical record of the
pat rulings of these agencies—embodied in the Code of Federal Regulations—hbears striking witness to the need for such
protection !—Contributed.
Just Wonnerne .
I wonder why we've ceased to call
A spade, a spade;
Is it because we're too refined,
Or just afraid?
I wonder at the facility with which we moderns fit new
names to things and types of humanity, that existed even in
the first false dawn of history.
Take the term fifth columnist for example; nothing
new about that; there was a fifth columnist in the Garden of
Eden, only then they called him “Serpent,” and made a ghastly mistake by not taking prompt and drastic measures for his
extermination: In due course of time the “serpent” became
known as “‘the Father of Lies,”’ a title entirely capable of apprqpriate application at the present time.
There were fifth columnists in the camp of Moses; during his temporary absence, they adopted a foreign ideology,
typified by a golden calf and attempted by every means within their power to upset the decent and orderly state of affairs.
They were ¢alled, “vipers,” and dealt with according to their
just deserts.
Yes indeed, the fifth columnist was a very ancient pest
and somewhere along the length of his slimy trail, the word
“traitor” came into general use. That was of course in those
rugged days when a spade was known by its plain, unvarnished name. Traitors were labeled as such and their nefarious
deeds were not alluded to as, “subversive,” but by the more
vigorous word, “‘traitorous”’. :
I wonder just when we became too refined to call a spade
a spade; perhaps it was at a time when a certain cultural
school for girls adopted a set of rules in which nice young
ladies were forbidden to “cross their benders,” and were orself x07 win street Nevada County Photo Center

and how is it
used in making
beer and ale?
Answer: Brewers’ malt is
barley that has had its starches modified. The barley is first permitted
to “sprout” by the addition of moisture. At the right instant, the growth
is checked by heat and the sprouts
are removed.
What remains is malt.. the essential base of all good beer and ale.
Every step in the brewing of good
beer and ale has been taught by
centuries of experience. Today, amazingly expert brewers — using only
