MASTERS OF THE PEOPLE
More and more two-fisted American citi
zen f> who are maintaining the industries
and the payrolls of this country, are getting
tired of being kicked around and abused bv
the public servants who have been chosen
to represent them in the various branches of
government. Bureaucracy has grown to such
an extent in the United States, that manv
of the incumbents of office have come to
look upon themselves as the masters of the
people. Many of them have been working
overtime at bludgeoning business and the
profit system. They like to shout their "lib
eralism" while they do their best to destroy
Hie rights of others. Recent action of the
House Committee on Lobbying Activities in
demanding the minutest details of what lead
mg companies in the United States mav have
done or not done in opposing or sunoortimr
• legislation, is a good example of the manner
m which some of our public officials seek to
control expression and opinion. W C Mull

endore, President of the Southern California
Edison Company, refused to take the attack
lying down. In part he said, "If the citizen's
constitutional rights to petition Congress
for the redress of grievances, to freely sneak
and freely publish arguments and facts for
the purpose of influencing opinion upon pub
lic issues is to be subjected to harassing and
burdensome inquiry, and detailed, itemized
accounting as to costs and expenditures, then
these rights will be ip the process of exting
uishment. Mr. Mullendore commented
the impossibility of segregating his _
pany s expenditures incurred in printing and
disseminating reports to stockholders,
ten communications by officers, speeches and
papers delivered by members of the
pany before other organizations, and sepa
rating from the total cost thereof, the cost
of the portions dealing with public issnp«*

Congress and Federal bureaus spend millions

provided at a meeting in Chicago which waa

called soon after the Korean situation be
came critical. The railroads pledged them
selves to buy or build thousands of additional
freight cars, to restore to service as prompt
ly as possible çars now awaiting repairs,
and to secure the most efficient use of all
_cars available. These plans will bring the
num b3r of orders for new freight cars to
more than 100,000. That means that
than $500,000,000 will be spent for the
cars—*and that the amount spent by the rail
roads since the end of the last war to improve
their plant and equipment will exceed $5,
000,000,000. Additional orders, it was also
announced, will be placed as piomptly
arrangements can be made. So much for the
physical side of the railroad industry. There
is another factor which is enormously im
portant. That is the knowledge and the
know-how that the railroads have gained
from experience, often under the most diffi
cult conceivable conditions. Their perform
ance in the last war came as near perfection
as could be humanly expected. Each prob
lem was a challenge—to be met head on and
solved in the shortest possible time. The
war effort,, on the scale we achieved, would
have been impossible without them. Those

Businesses become big and successful b*,
cause they please the public and earn its
patronage. That is implicit in the free en
terprise system of doing things. As an ex
ample which everyone has encountered take
the chain store systems, some of which oper
ate on a national scale and have thousands of
outlets. We naturally think of them as big
businesses. Yet practically all of them start
ed out as single^stores. Many of îhe most
famous were actually one-man, shoestring
operations at first, and the going was mighty

in the long run, everyone concerned gained
by it. One of the bets things kbout the Amer
ican system is that any business is free to
expand and prosper as far as the abilfties
and ambitions of those who operate it allow.
The small business of today may be the big
business of tomorrow. And the biggest bus
iness, if it fails to keep up with th^ pace of
competition, and fails to please the consum

tacks on bigness conveniently ignore these
truths. They are based on the ridiculous—
and dan 8erous—premise that size is criminal
per se. It is not likely that the American
