The instigators of ‘our national legislation are anxiously trying to find out what their public, so many of whom are farmers who spend ‘part of their own national affairs. Washington observers and most wise Congressmen could readily construct a-handy checklist to aid in interviewing constituents. It would no doubt include the following important subjects: ee 1. Taxes. Realistic minds in the} Treasury Department ‘are trying to find out these days how to adjust tax legislation so that ‘business will be encouraged to expand its operations. There is no ‘‘Good Samaritan”’'at-}. titude motivating this; it is realized that unless there are business profits, it is impossible to collect much in the way of taxes. ‘ Congressmen will try to find out whether the voters are in favor of this idea of ‘helping business and industry. The answer is probably “‘yes”’ —simply because the average American wants for himself the prosperity that can come only with business welfare. 2. Pump-priming. This is a phrase and idea that has dropped out of the newspaper headlines these days. But there is still a little bloc of its ‘supporters in Washington who, on the basis of their fixity of purpose, put this observer in mind’ of the small group at the 1924 Democratic convention who through thick and thin continued to cast “‘twentyfour votes for Underwood.’ These forces remain anxious to spend more federal billions to ‘“‘promote recovery” under various guises. Congress was hailed for licking the last ‘‘spending’’ bill. It is unlikely that public sentiment has since swung in the other direction. 8. Labor legislation. Investigation of the National Labor Relations Board is still in progress these days, and amendment of the Act itself is still being sought by all groups in our economy. Since groups are the multiplication of individuals, it is patent that the Congressmen returning home is going to find a strong sentiment for overhauling labor legislation to insure fair play for all. 4. War and peace. Disagreement exists concerning the best measures for keeping this nation at peace. But there is no disagreement at all concerning the desirability of peace itself. Congressmen know that any bill or goods sold the voters. must carry the conviction of their sincerity in this aim. Meanwhile, New Dealers are beginning to worry about a business recession early in 1940. Some say it will be a sharp slump; others that it will be short and mild; but all New Deal economists agree that there will be a slump. This, of course, opens the door for more talk about pump priming, spend-lend and what have you on the part of the deter. mined small group mentioned above. What these folks fail to realize is that the present business upturn’ did not start until last May, which was after Congress had begun to do a number of things which gave hope to the business community. Congress turned thumbs down on spend-lend, it tightened WPA blank-check spending, it began a ‘probe of the National Labor Relations Board, it made some tax law changes and showed a willingness to make more. And since then, business has gone up and up ) and LATEST PATTERNS IN WALL PAPER For VENETIAN BLINDS and up. i It’s a pretty safe bet that if the New Dealers don’t try to ram a bunch of new experiments down Congress‘ional throats next January, the business upturn will continue and the 1940. recession, if it comes, will be just a passing one. I wonder about Hitler’s bombs, And why great men have gout, And now that ham and What next to fret about; Of course there’s Browder’s curious speech, And Downey's latest book, And passports which Bund leaders get By devious hook and crook. -: . wonder if the time is ‘at guard state institutions, our legislators will be. called upon to . streamline some of the instruments used in democratic government.
