The Glacier County Chief Entered aa 2nd daM matter July 15, 1931 at the poatoffiee at Browning, Mont, under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription *2.00 ye*r In advance JACK DUNCAN Editor and Publisher A weekly newspaper published every Friday at Browning, Glacier County, The Low Down From Hickory Grove Once in a while I mosey out there on the Coast, and when I do, I al ways go to hear a young feller there —he’s from Alabama —and he has a knack of wakin’ you up, that get’s you. Last Sunday he was tellin’ about science, and what might be worked out to increase our average life of 40 years, as it is now, to 70. And medicine and science, he says, they are not buckin’ religion or vice versa. But while science, it is findin’ ways to prolong life, it al so is findin’ ways of eliminating the human race —like poison gas and such. So when you leave the church, maybe you don’t have the answer to everything or anything, and are even confused, but pardner, you are liable to kinda halfway wonder to yourself, on the way home—what is next, after 70. And you will mavbe be a little uncomfortable, and if you are, maybe you will sit down and do some ponderin'. And a preacher who can make a person ponder, he is gettin’ some place—lookin’ at the way stuff is goin’ on, speed and ev erything —and the undertaker never gettin’ a half day off. Yours, with the low down, JOE SERRA Cooperation Instead of Retaliation John W. Hanes, member of the SEC, recently said: "I believe that the time has come for business mea to cease harping on the theme that the government is the enemy of business. And it shall be my ever lasting endeavor to persuade govern ment officials from uttering publicly •r privately the thought that busi ness is the enemy of government.’’ Business men certainly don’t want to feel that government is their enemy. This breach between gov ernment and business has been largely created by politicians who, in recent years, have chastised the many for the shortcomings of the few, in business. It is politicians who have passed legislation hamstringing and pun ishing business. It is politicians who have saddled business with a tax burden that makes operations next to profitless in many instances, ft is politicians who have forced gov ernment into direct competition with business in certain fields, using to the full its advantages of tax freedom, and unlimited public cre dit. It is politicians who have pil loried business men, and held them up to scorn and ridicule. It is poli ticians who have been undermining confidence in our American system of government and fomenting class hatred between lalior and capital. It is not business’ duty to make “peace” with government. Govern ment exists to serve business and the individual. Government is a means to an end, not an end in it self. Government’s true purpose is to act as an umpire, not a player, in the commercial affairs of the people. Government should punish the guilty —and cooperate with the innocent. And that is exactly what the politicians have prevented gov ernment from doing. Government will find practically •11 business ready to work in accord with it when the politicians pursue policies of cooperation in stead of retaliation.
