"Referee Carries The Ball"'
Many types of house organs reach the editor's
desk in the course of a week, all of them having
some merit, even if Just plain propaganda. One
small house organ having a definite objective is
called "Vanguard" and is published by the Trans
portation Association of America. While it is
published in defense of the transportation indus
try, what it had to say in the December issue is
of great importance to every American. It was
headed "Referee Carries the Ball!", and this is
the way the subject was handled:
"Imagine such a headline out of the Rose Bowl
on New Year's day. Two great teams are battling
it out, a tremendous crowd is cheering, "May the
best team win."
And suddenly the referee grabs the ball and
runs for the goal line becomes the star ball
carrier of the day.
YOUR UNCLE DOES IT! We set up a great
system of government to keep the game clean
to lay down the rules and enforce them between
competitors, between groups, between areas. But
Uncle Sam is fast becoming a "Playing Referee."
Examples:
He has more money invested in transporta
tion than all the transportation companies.
He buys into the utility business, the auto
mobile business, the egg business and lots
of others with his money and his deals.
THREATS TO FREEDOM. Freedom breaks
down when termites eat away at its foundations
a little here, a little there which is happening
day after day.
Freedom breaks down when we go crying to
government to solve every problem affecting our
business or welfare which too many of us do.
Freedom breaks down when we let the total
tax load take 30 per cent of national income
which it does.
THE FREEDOM DINNER. We discussed such
matters at a great Freedom Dinner in Chicago the
other day 1,400 business men, farmers, bankers,
doctors, workers. It was the first of many free
dom Dinners we propose to have around the
country. Because we propose to put the referee
back on the sidelines and keep transportation
and all enterprise out of government grasp.
Our Economical Administration
President Truman's address on the state of the
nation makes the resume of administration spend-

ing from Washington's time to the present, as
compiled by the Reader's Digest, apropos at this
time. It simply shows the amounts of money
spent by each of the Presidents from the begin
ning of the nation up to September 30, 1919.
In the early days, Federal spending amounted
to peanuts compared with modern standards.
Washington and Adams each spent a little more
than $34,000,000. Lincoln had a war on his
hands, yet his budgets totaled only $3,252,000,000.
Thereafter, expenses went down again. McKinley
for instance, spent just over $2,000,000,000.
The first really big budget came with the first
world war and the Wilson administration nearly
$17,000,000,000. Again expenses dropped, with
Coolidge and Hoover together spending around
$34,000,000,000.
Then came the depression, President Roosevelt
and the New Deal. During his first eight years in
office Mr. Roosevelt's administration cost some
$67,500,000,000. The grand total for all the Presi.
dents through 1940 was $179,620,000,000. And that
total, it must be remembered, covers more than
150 years of our history.
Reader's Digest leaves out the extraordinary
expenditures of the World War II years 1941-45.
It then lists President Truman's spending from
the 1946 fiscal year to the end of September, 1949.
It adds up to over $191.000,000,000 nearly $12,
000,000,000 more than all his 32 predecessors
spent except for the 1941-1945 period.
Here is a revealing picture of the way the na
tion has gone. It is true that conditions have
changed over the years. But it is also true that
the government has expanded in every direction
to a point far greater than most of us realize. Mr.
Truman Is now a symbol of that expansion, but
he is not the major cause. Pressure groups of
every kind have grown infinitely more adept and
powerful, and officeholders of both parties have
fallen into line. The results are our huge budg
ets, with recurring Federal deficits in spite of
those budgets.
A noteworthy development is the concern over
our fiscal affairs which is being expressed by
people who are not conservatives. Speaking of
taxes and deficits, Dorothy Thompson says, "This
appalling discrepancy between what is spent and
what is raised occurs when the national income
is near the highest in history! It is an absolutely
reckless example of the spirit of 'after us the
deluge.'" A great deal more pressure to cut the
cost of government may be expected in the future
than in the past.
