EXPANSION
AN UNSOUND STATE POLICY
A ou have a little grocery store, with a growing trade
built up on service and good will. The state sets up a tent
on the next lot, taxes you to raise its capital,’* puts in a
stock ot goods and tells you you are out of business.
1 he state raises your taxes, hires an untaxed person
with your tax money, forcibly takes over your customers
to charge any capricious price, and throws’you out into
the street.
1 et it is in effect the theory of a proposed constitu­
tional amendment to establish non-competitive industrial
accident insurance in the state of Oregon and it will he
voted on this fall. It puts the man who competes with the
state out ot business and it taxes both worker and em­
ployer, arbitrarily, to run the insurance jobs that,neither
may want to support. It makes an appointive commission
superior to the legislature, or the courts, with no appeal
from its arbitrary decisions. It has confiscatory and des­
troying power against both employer and employe, in de­
claring hazards, fixing rates of pay, fixing compensation.
If the theory is good in insurance, it is good in hank­
ing, baking, butter-making, in every industry that man
can devise. It substitutes paternalism for all private
ownership or control. .
Oregon has a good workmen’s compensation law. Is
it right to make such a measure a state monopoly to the
exclusion of private? enterprise?

’ WHAT A PRICE TO PAY
What would happen to the taxpayer if the state were
asked to spend the incredible millions that have been
spent in private on exploration, in mineral prospecting
or in developing industrial enterprises? The taxpayer
would revolt.
Yet these explorations are made by private enter­
prise and alter that, the business has to be developed by
painstaking efficiency that is the only safeguard against
bankruptcy and which is foreign to the whole spirit of
officialdom.
The incessant clamour for lower taxes would not be
made it the people believed they were getting value re­
ceived for all public moneys expended.
History indicates that wastefulness in governmental
affairs increases in geometrical progression with every
increase in revenue. Every’ expansion of federal activities
and payrolls means decreased efficiency.
Everybody but organized railroad labor felt the
strangle hold of the iron hand of officialism during the
inglorious federal railroad regime. Government opera­
tion brought higher costs, poorer service, and utter, ad­
amantine inelasticity to meet the national shipping needs.
To double, or quadruple, or to increase by ten times
the official payroll, means to build up a political official­
ism that has the public by the throat—whether in oil,
jnines, railroads, insurance, utilities or in anything that
the state plight do.
It workers could he enlisted or drafted into an indus­
trial army at $30 a month, and made to serve or go to
prison or be shot at sunrise, industry might be completely
lederalized at a profit. But what a price to pay in free­
dom and in the killing of individual initiative and am­
bition.
ENCOURAGING INCENDIARISM

bugs have just been released on parole without seeing a
day in prison, after receiving a sentence of 8 years each.
