TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, JULY 8. 1920.
A BUSINESS MAN FOR PRESIDENT
The Nation Needs a Business Man
ager for World's Biggest and Most
Important Business.
Warren G. Harding, next Presid
ent of the United States, will be the
first business man by occupation to
become President of .the United
States.
There have beeu 27 Presidents
holding the otflce of chief executive
throughout a period of 131 years;
all soldiers, lawyers, planters or pu-
blicists by profession; not a business
man by occupation in the whole long
line. • Warren G. Harding will be the
first business man and the first news
paper man to succed to the office.
Yet the office of President deals
crone hv the hrtarrl
with the biggest business concern on
earth -the United States of America,
The American government is a great
corporation in which a hundred and
ten million people are stock holders,
From that corporation the people
must draw dividends, or to it they
must pay assessments, It deals vit-
ally with the welfare of private trade
and industry, upon which depends
the material prosperity of all these
milions. Yet until now, in all our
century and a third of history, not
one business man by occupation for
the biggest post on earth!
Under tthe present national ad-
ministration the government has
broken down completely on the busi
ness side. It was a Democratic sen
ator who declared that under the
present management every depart
ment had collapsed. Through lack
I
of competent business direction the
machinery of government has been
so incompetently handled that the
situation calls loudly for the services
of a salvage corps. Waste, extravag
ance, incompetency, inefficiency, have
cost the people billions. They have
heaped huge burdens of taxation on
the backs of the people. They have
undermined the faith of the people
in their government. They neai ly lost
the war titrough the failure to fur
nish our soldiers at the front with
propel' equipment, and through a de
bauch of waste at home that brought
inflation, profiteering, demoraliza-
i ion in public and private affairs, in
Its wake. These abuses, due to lack ,
of business sense on the part, prim
arily, of the President of the United
tates, still menace the very solvency :
and safety of the nation.
Along with all this break-down in
the management of the nation’s own
business affairs, has been a totally
wrong attitude on .he part of the
government toward legitimate busi
ness enterprise, accompanied by an
effort to make tile government itself
the universal employer and provider.
The machinery of government has
been utilized, under the camouflage
of war necessity, to politicalize in
dustry. More interested in politics
than in business, for which the head
of the administration confesses aris
tocratic scorn, the aim has been to
build up the public payrolls of the
country. We have had. as someone
has well put it, too much of politics
