Saturday, June 6th, the Texas
Centennial Central Exposition to
due to have its formal opening at
Dallas. That’s right near at hand,
for this is Monday, June first.
E. E. Speak, manager of the aj
Henderson Paint and Paper Com- lv
pany store located on South street,
emphasized the slogan of the Shoiw S
win-Williams Co., whose products
he sells. “Paint up for Beauty
and Protection.” That's the slo-
gr". illustrated, appearing in cur-
rent releases of Sherwin-Williams
paint products advertising, and
is the key note of displays and J
phamplets in Sherwin-Williams
Dealer store throughout the na-
tion.
“The slogan has particular rig.
nificance here in Texas, for ws
are this year celebrating 100 years
of glorious history as a state. And.
with the opening of the Central
exposition in Dallas on Saturday
June 6th, the flood-gates of the
rest of the country will be open-
ed, pouring millions of out-of-statb
visitors into Texas throughout
the summer an dearly fall months.
Certainly we want to have our
homes and business property ell
dressed up for our visitors and
for our own enjoyment,” Hh,
Spears commented.
“But Sherwin-Williams seaa

experts, over a number of years,
prove conslusively that house*

Paints last longer, and the value
of the property stays higher for a
longer period of time. So, when
we try to sell a property owner
paint to repaint a houses,, we
really are doing more than Jurt
trying to make a sale. We're try-
ing to convince that home-owner
of the increased value of fop-
erty when kept properly painted,
and help him to slow down de-
preciation of the property," Mr,
Spear pointed out.
“To make our efforts more
suited to the needs of home-own-
ers, we are offering our custo-
mers the privilege of using the
new convenient term-payment
plan. Amounts ranging from |70
to >60,000 will be financed, and
the total repaid in convenient
monthly sums. The favorably

plied on these Joans. We see no

“BY RAY E. VVANTZ”
This is the first of two installments of an article
written by Ray E. Wantz, Chairman of the Advisory
Board of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. The
second and final installment will appear on this page
Wednesday, June 3rd.
How long will it be before the United States gov-
ernment, in addition to its multitudinous bureaus, will be
operating every business in the United States? This
question is becoming a source of considerable anxiety
to manufacturers and other employers. Government
competition with private industry augumented and ac-
celerated by political policies of interference with the
rights of private business is becoming a menace to the
efficient and economical operation of all industry and
commerce.
Governmental competition which has had a steady
growth for many years under Federal Bureaucracy is
now greatly expanded under the policy of the Works
Progress Administration by employing relief workers
in the manufacture of garments, furniture, and general
household articles.
Recently the Illinois Manufacturer’s Association
forwarded to Harry L. Hopkins, National Administrator
of the Works Progress Administration, a complaint
from seventy-five anxious manufacturers of women's
wash dresses in Chicago. The protest was based upon
the manufacture of women’s garments-by relief workers
in a well-equipped factory established in Chicago with
thirteen outlying branches. Over three thousand women
will be working on these garments for the next several
months, also upon children's garments and other sewing.
One announcement stated that fifty million gar-
ments would be manufactured by relief workers through-
out the United States.
The manufacturers saw in this competition a dan-
gerous displacement of the delicately geared industrial
mechanism that would result in the loss of market, in-
crease of cost of material, and almost immediately dis-
place a number of regularly employed workers equal in
number to those engaged in the manufacturing opera-
tions—equal to the ranks from the relief rolls.
Petitions sent by the manufacturers included the
names of several thousand of their employes protest-
ing against this displacement of regular employes by
relief workers.
The WPA administration, on the other hand, refers
to this government competition as a humanly justifi-
able enterprise for employing relief workers at wages
of $55, $65, $85, and $94 a month depending upon wheth-
er they are inexperienced, experienced, or skilled. The
arguments by the WPA executives are that the relief
workers must have something to do even though they
displace regular workers. It is argued that the manu-
facture of these garments will not compete with private
industry inasmuch as production is for relief workers
themselves. It has also been pointed out that it will cost
$3 a garment to manufacture the supply.
Three dollars a garment seems rather high for
dresses that sell from 50 cents to $1. It explains a great
deal of the objection to governmental competition with
private industry—not necessarily in relief work but in
everything else from ships to shoes. Last year at this
time relief workers were making mattresses at a cost of
as high as $9 each in some cities although the mattress
manufacturers offered to produce them at $2.60.
The United States government does not have to
show a profit.
It can undersell the chain stores as it did with can-
ned vegetables from the surplus products from the R.
Thesdale homesteading project at Reedsville, West Vir-
ginia, last year where the government furniture factory
is located.
It can force the liquidation of private electrical
power projects by socialized enterprises in the Tennes-
see valley and in various municipalities when the tax-
payers pay the difference between the cost of produc-
tion by private governmental plants and private plants
where every item of cost must be considered, including
taxes.
The government can successfully compete with
manufacturers, merchants, and service companies by
ignoring such items as taxes, rent, heat, light, insur-
ance, overhead, and invested capital.
But it cannot do so without a grave and increasing
danger to the welfare of the American industry and
business upon which the economic soundness of the
country is based and which is depends upon to furnish
employment to our people.
The extent to which our government has intruded
into the domain of private enterprise is described in
a survey, completed in 1933 by a congressional commit-
tee representing the House of Representatives, of the
question of governmental competition with private en-
terprise. This survey revealed that the government
was actively competing with private merchants, pro-
ducers, and manufacturers in forty-one lines of indus-
try. That survey further indicated that governmental
competition affected at least 225 items of trade, indus-
try, personal and professional services.
This tendency of the government to assume a more
active role, not in the regulation of, but in actual par-
ticipation in, the field of private enterprise, has been
greatly accelerated during the period of the abnormal
business conditions which have prevailed during the
last several years.
A recent survey revealed that there are over two
hundred governmental departments, bureaus, boards,
commissions, and administrations headquartered in
Washington. Over fifty of these commissions have
been created during the past three years. These new
agencies have undertaken to supervise and regulate
practically every individual and corporate activity.
Much too frequently these agencies issue rules and regu-
lations having the force and effect of law.
In the period from 1901 to 1935 the population of
the United States increased about 60 per cent, where-
as the increase in new governmental positions at Wash-
ington supported by the taxpayers has been 350 per
cent. Between Jun6, 1933, and June 1935, job holders
employed by the United States government increased
from 565,432 to 707,712, or more than 25 per cent.
The rapid assumption by our government in recent
years of functions formerly left entirely to private ini-
tiative is apparently based upon the philosophy that the
traditional separation between the functions of govern-
ment and private industry, upon which our economic
system has been built, is obsolete; that private enter-
prise and free competition no longer propertly serve the
public interest; that individual freedom in the conduct
of business, industry, and agriculture results in over-
expansion of productive capacity, in overproduction, and
in competitive practices injurious to the worker, to
the employer, and to the general public. Those main-
taining this philosophy accordingly propose that our
government should engage in a system of so-called na-
tional economic planning through a system of extensive
governmental agencies and through the centralization
in our Federal government of powers over private busi-
ness which have heretofore been lodged in our state
governments or in the people.
We have stated that government operation of busi-
ness is inefficient. As an example we may mention the
activities of the United States Shipping Board which is
operating at a loss of $100,900,000 a year. The United
States Railroad Administration during the recent World
War cost the taxpayers $1,650,000,000. It was neces-
sary for the government to loan the railroads $1,080,-
000,000 in order to get their roads into working order
again and it became necessary to increase freight rates
by 30 per cent and passenger rates by 20 per cent, to
help pay the big deficit.
During the nine years 1923-1931 the Canadian Na-
tional Railway, owned by the Canadian government,
failed by no less than $456,063,195 to earn the interest
which the government of Canada was bound to pay to
the holders of securities of the road.
From 1924-1934 the Inland Waterways Corporation,
a Federal-operated river transporation agency, failed
by $7,000,000 to earn interest on its own Investment.
These are just a few examples of the failures of govern-
meut-operated business undertakings.

One day last week,
Webb, the man who runs Webb’s
Dairy, came into the News office,
and after due caution, broke down
and confessed that his dairy was
selling the full output of the
Dairy’s Creamery butter. Later
in the week, Mr. Webb’s hesitancy
in giving out a story for this page
was explained. And, the house-
wives who use Webb's Creamery
Butter know the explanation for
the popularity of that product.
It is simply this: "It’s good but-
ter”. From indications, Mr. Webb
is going to have to do something
about the supply, for he must not
allow the demand to constantly be
greater than the supply.
Dr. A. W. Dunn, head of the
A. W. Dunn Transfer Company
came over to Henderson last week,
and convinced his friends here that
he still wears that broad smile.
Once there was an advertising
stunt worked in some of the
cities in Texas, under one word
"Smile”. Pictures of people smil-
ing were taken. Publicity was
given to Smile days. And, did
you ever notice that a smile is
contagious? Well, try talking with
Dr. Dunn, and see if you don’t

F. Jimmerson likes to haul
things, and he is on the lookout
for business all the time. Some-
how, he has the most, accurate
method of locating people who are
looking for someone to haul some-
thing, that you'd imagine a man
would develop. It is said of re-
porters that they have a "nose for
News” and of advertising men
that they can “smell out copy
when there is no copy.” But, with
G. F. Jimmerson, it is just plainly
a case of making himself con-
venient when there is something
to be moved. And, describe it
anyway you want to, but part of
that convenience is due to the fact
that Mr. Jimmerson keeps his
hauling advertised in the Hender-
son Daily News. For, at one
time, his message goes into over
5125 homes, and who,; is there
alive, who could visit that many
homes in less than three hours, in
person
But, Mr. Jimmerson is looking
for hauling business. He keeps
his men and his trucks, and him-
self busy all the time, but he will
admit that if he gets too much
business for the number of men
and trucks ho now has on the pay-
roll that there are automobile
concerns in Henderson who sell
trucks, and there are men who can
handle them. So, Mr. Jimmerson
will keep on looking for hauling
jobs, and just go right on giving
the special brand of personal ser-
vice that has helped popularize
his business here.
The telephone numbers at which
he may be reached arc: 100 and
215. The latter number is his
resilience in Crimcrest, while the
first number is the office he main-
tains in the Cameron Drug store
building.
