How About Economics?
Economics used to be a big word.
Now, nearly everybody under
stands it to mean the way we use
our resources and consume our
wealth. This includes production,
buying, and selling. It includes
the activities of labor and of man
agement. Traditionally, in this
country, we have allowed our
economy to remain free of artifi
cial barriers which would hamper
its natural laws, like that of sup
ply and demand, for instance.
The important thing it: free
trading and buying and selling
(that is, an economy which freely
belongs to the people), works best
• when we have a truly representa
tive government. They go hand in
hand. Tyrants and dictators never
let these things go free. A restrict
ed economy and a non-representa
tive government, you’ll find, are
always part and parcel of the to
talitarian method. This method
never pays high wages. In Amer
ica we have a great land. We pay
the highest wages men ever earn
ed. Let’s keep it that way! And
free!

is the Klondike Night, tomorrow
night. It is an evening of “Gam

sorts will be held, and it won’t
cost the men a cent.. The Monday

like to see more bridge players
turn out.
