A MAN AFTER OUR OWN HEART
Lewis E. Pierson, president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, warns the people that “we are
drifting more and more to legislative action under pres
sure of special groups—economic, financial, religious,
social or sectional—and are forgetting the fundamental
principles on which this country was founded.”
The average American citizen takes his government
too much for granted, he said, and referring to the great
deficits created under governmental operation of indus
tries during the World War, added:
“The real disaster to American rights was the en
couragement which these government ventures gave to
the growth of bureaucracy and to the blurring of the
sharp lines between the pure functions of representative
government and the rights of a free and progressive
people. The greatest responsibility of American business
to our government is the duty of recalling government to
those great and dignified purposes for which that gov
ernment was created/’
New bureaus for creating jobs for the faithful, the
friends of politicians. In the vernacular, Mr. Pierson
'“told the world” something that the nation is rapidly
awakening to. Thus, the revolt in the nation, directed to
resentment of invasion of personal liberties.
^ Tho*nas Barnett, aged 78, of Washington, D. C., like
many another, hid his money instead of entrusting it to
a bank. Someone dug up and made away with $17,000
Barnett had placed in a milk bottle and buried in his back
yard. A can and a jar containing $11,000 were saved be
cause the digger did not happen to find them.
