"s.... .". v ib f .«•,,ja> n-ito-S!-; Y* th* Business Men of (lis Eleventh District: -- • Let me talk business to lft>i a isenienL l» tills letter. I am sure that you all realise that 1 am as much interested; at least, In the prosperity of all the people as any man living in our district, and. more vitally Interested in the prosperity of the district than any. othwr m4n in congress could possibly be- because my business is entirely local and practically'all of it consists In Investmems within the confltoss of our district. Since 1 have been a member of congress there have been a very large number of most excellent laws enacted tending to aid arid congirve sound business institutions. At fhe same time a tremendous •ataclysm caused by the war has upset a great many of the benefits aad replaced these with a lot of laws which are positively hannfal. The Underwood tariff law. passed in 1913. plunged this country Into an Industrial depression which was exceedingly. acute and which was made infinitely worse by the unsettled conditions in finance, following the' outbreak of the war in Kurope the middle of the follow^ tag summer. From the early spring of 1914, England, Germany and Prane* . Were selling their American necSrrties. not only on our own markets,'A'. but in every market of the world. They almost completely drained the gold out of this conntry. Then followed the war, and when we had once readjusted ourselves after the drastic process of losing our* fold, the war Itself furnished us so much business that np tariff was necessary. \ One q( the first moves*tnad« when the Republicans came into com- <. alete control of the government was tlte enactment by the house, ;Of representatives of a new tariff bill to replace the one so dlsnstraas to our people in the latter part of 1913 and the beginning of litli. ^ It Is not perfect, but It Is a vt»ry great improvement over the last one' under which, we are still operating. It is a great improvement over any tariff law ever passed by the house of representatives 4£f<l SO per cent of it is very much better than any tariff act which has passed both branches of congress and which has become a law.. l>ur!ntr my service In congress we passed a law which was the MK greatest aid that business has ever received from any legislation in ihe entire history of the world--the socalled Federal Reserve banking act Without this It would not have been possible for as to have financed the business brought to us.before' we entered the war, and certainly without this act, we could not haVe kept afloat since the era of depsesslon set in. AnothW great act was the Feleral Trade commission act. whScl1 fMBuperly administered means the elimination of all unfair methods ta competition. No type of legislation can equafixe the difference between the natural economic conditions of our own people, but this act tends to prevent a large concern selling below cost in one locality, thereby destroying some smaller competitors, while, at the Same time, the large concern is selling at aA,hlgher price in other localities. In •ther words, the federal trade commission act, properly administered •will enable all to get the best return from the natural economic cendithat surround every and every section of this country. ' ; These two great laws 1 have cited were not the only statutes en- ".; ailed afreet ing business. In fact, during the war when the government Was compelled to seek revenue from every conceivable source, In order "" W csrry on, sQme mistaken economic policies were adopted, largely because the country knew nothing about scientific taxation. We had been going along for almost half a century collecting the smallest sum assessed by any government In proportion to Its wealth. And all tbese United States taxes were Indirect, and being comparatively email, were not felt when passed on to the ultimate consumer. But wheh the tremendous taxes made necessary by the colossal expenditures of the war were divided among the people they felt them. They will Continue te feel them unless this Republican congress and president,-- the first we have had since I have been In the house. -- can devise Mme method of "taxation which will place the tax burden where It ... belongs--on the shoulders of those who can best bear the burden and who benefit most by the security of life and property furnished > < 1)|r our government. Congress has amended the taa aet. It Is • great Improvement over th* old one, but when It left the House of Representatives it was infinitely better than after the amendments put on It by the senate. The president, probably recognising this fact, has asked us to still further tvlse thif act. and at the earliest possible moment congress will aire I undivided attention to such revision and again further Improve It- The Republican eongres" has adopted a budget system. If there Is ane man better fitted than another o# his fellows for the work of^ establishing this system It Is undoubtedly General Dawes. He has keen at work for six months and within the next few months will he ready to pat his system Into operation. He Is simplifying and con- , et>lldatlng all commissions and beards and we will soon have less then ' Mne-tenth the number of purchasing agencies which we had before he took up the work. He Is reducing the number of employes, add- . lag to their efficiency aad conserving stores of materials such that •ne department is not buying where another department has a surplus. Individual except that'it is the largest and most complex in the enttgC. world. We can not, as. a people, overturn natural laws any more thaa Individuals can, and we can not as a Country, violate economic lavNi without paying the penalty, just as any individual business man woul|£ I presume most of you h;ive had'the same experience that-1 have bad. There have been times in my business career of more than. 19 years, when my ba--k was at the wail and I had to do things whioll in them&elves were temporarily wasteful in order that 1 might pre** serve the integrity of the investments entrusted to me by the othse stockholders and so your government has been thru exactly that same crisis. We blew up the entire production of more than two years woiilsduring the war and in addition to that were compelled to niortgafj|i« the future for a very large sum. While these time* were on#ait4|' money was flush it was difficult to realise that in fact the timet; were not prosperous but only seemed so because we were consuming and destroying the production of qyr past industry and thrift'. There could (be but one answer aitii it-began to manifest itself late In 1920. Mr good friends, I can honestly say to you that I did not m&ke )1 directlp* or indirectly as a result of this war; that I would be better off todai^ if it^had never happened, end notwithstanding the fact that I fore*1 " saw this inevitable period of reconstruction as long ago as SeptembeV ; and October, 1914. and told it to every audience In the campaign dC ' that ye^r and repeated it in 191#, 1918 and again in 1920, yet wltlt - all of tliii^opportunity to dodge, I was stung like all the rest of yoa» When the s!\in||> started I could scarcely keep up with the slide. * ' The days of long profits are over. We will all be compellelhr whether we lf(ce It or not, to go back sooner or lattr to about tl#-- •••>% . prewar basis. 1 will take another chance and-predict tor you th^i .V the basis on which we finally rest will be one in which the margliji , all along the ljne will be only about 15 per cent in excess of whst ^ they were before the war. • -"•* As illustrating the present tendency, the statistics issued by thipL.. ; "X department of labor of this government show that la June, 1920, tHf average retail prices fcr food thruout the entire United States wtrta almost two and one-quarter times what they were in 1911, whereof v .

If we cannot afford the flowers, we will havS|, to find a girl who wifl go without them, and if we cannot afford ^ v carriage we will have to find a alrl who will walk. But we »»u4;f „ -s have some relaxation In thle life and the business men .will have W f : - ; set the example and go back to the basis on which we can all prospe^ ^ , not by consuming the production of past industry and thrift, nor coi$«! . suming that which we can raise by mortgaging the future industry ? and thrift, but on the basis which lets ue all aocussulate a little sp we' go along. •; I have every confidence now In the prosperity of this countrjf-:; „ and our people. All we have to do is to recognise and follow economi^ + .. laws, modify them «o our advantage when we can, and not entirelydisregard thenu ' It Is not to the advantage of the people of this country to tsx business That Is practically a general term for the entire. Industry of the country. The proper thing to do is to tax the iadivlduala benefited We have not been able to do thla without having the taxee passed alon*> to the ultimate consumer. C The ways and meant committee of the nouee is even now cortv /• duetlng hearings on a proposition to amend the constitution to prevent the Issuing of tax exempt securities, which I think will do more to allow us to more equitably place the taxes than anything which haKfv yet been done by the American congress. With the adoption of such an amendment, no wealth can escape: its Just share of taxation, and the Investments In Industry will Increase greatly, thus adding to employment §nd production ami making fo(jf\ *- greater prosperity. . . Of course, the tax exempt securities Issued before the amendment " would remain tax exempt until paid off. but there would l»e.no new ' y ones Issued from the time the amendment went into effect.
