flERE is a simple question:
What is a producer?
Why, a producer is one who
makes things food to eat, clothes
to wear, houses to live in, tools to
use.
A MOTHER simple question:
What is a consumer?
A consumer is one who uses the
things that ate produced who
eats the food, wears the clothes,
lives in Die houses, handles the
tools.
1"0 PRODUCERS nil live on one
side of a high fence and con
sumers all live on the other?
Of course not. Producers are
also consumers. Consumers are
likewise producers.
The farmer produces wheat and
lie CONSl'MKS overalls. The work
er in a textile mill produces over
alls and consumes wheal. The
blacksmith produces horseshoes
and consumes potatoes.
Producers and consumers are all
mixed up together. If you throw a
rock at ope, you're pretty apt to
hit the other.
A NO so it is with labor and enpi
tal and management. Labor
doos the work. Capital provides
the tools. Management keeps
things going and finds a market
for Iho output.
Cripple labor and you hurt capi
tal. Destroy capital and you han
dicap labor. Hobble management
and you hamstring both labor and
capital.
Wo all DEPEND ON EACH
OTHER a lot in this world.
pOR yours the demagogues (who
thrive on discord) have been
setting labor and capital and man
agement at each other's throats.
The result has been HA I) bad for

Tax Change Needed to
Restore Confidence,

Federal Cooperation With
Business Advised But
No Specific Plan
Is Offered.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Id. (AP)
Two business spokesmen denied
before a senate investigating com
mittee today that industry was
striking or threatening to strike
against administration policies.
Hotii culled for tax revision to re
store investment confidence.
They were Earn mot Dul'out, the
manufacturer, and Dr. Claudius T,
Murchison, president of the col-ton-textile
institute.
.Murchison told the committee
his industry had "opposed with
every power at its command the
downward trend of business and
resorted to production t urtailment
only with the utmost reluctance."
Murchison added it could not be
charged that the industry "has en
gaged in any thought, or acting
which might be interpreted as in
difference to its social and eco
nomic responsibility, or hostility to
the general national interest, or
what lias been referred to as a
strike against the administration."
Earlier, DuPout had denied a la
bor contention that his plan for in
dustry to spend $25,000,1)00,000 it
government would cooperate with
industry whs n threat against ad
ministration policies.
Citing his testimony that the
company planned to spend $:tf,

UTILITY HEADS SET
Three More Executives in
Power Field Will Talk
With Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Hi. (AP)
The white house announced to
day that President Roosevelt
would resume his conferences with
private power company executives
tomorrow.
Invited to the white house were
Daniel C. (ireen of the Central
Service Corporation of Chicago;
John Carpenter of the Texas Pow
er and Eight company of Dallas,
and A. it. West of the Nevada-
California Electric corporation of
Riverside. Calif.
For some weeks the president
has had intermittent conversations
willi power executives, discussing
the possibility of expanded utility
construction.
The chief executive also has
been urging general application by
the utilities of the prudent in
vestment theory of valuation for
rate making and elimination of
write-ups in property valuations.
On the other hand the utilities
have proposed modification of the
utilities holding company act, a
compromise on distribution of Ten
nessee Valley authority power,
and an agreement to submit to tiie
federal power commission disputes
between federal agencies and pow
er companies.
In his Jackson day dinner
speech Saturday night the presi
dent said he was convinced the
"great majority" of local or re
gional operating utility companies
"can come to an understanding
with the government ami with the
people of the territories which
i I hey serve. That would enable
iihem to obtain, within t heir own
: localities or regions. of the
new capital necessary for the ex
tension or improvement of their
services."
