Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, PACE TWO j Economic Highlights I 'The full impact of business I dis- couragement is being visited upon members of Congress," says the United States News. 'The tide of protest against restrictive legislation is ris Ing." The public attitude toward the last Congress was one of sympathy and patience. Extraordinary legislation was proposed and passed with a mo dicum of opposition from businesses and individuals. Unprecedented ac- tions were accepted by the public without argument. There was relatively little criticism of Congressional moves and almost no criticism of the President Today the situation is very different. Congress is being damned, reviled and denounced. And criticism is reaching out towards the White House, which, less than a year ago, was almost sacrosanct. Those who oppose restrictive laws have apparently decided that the time when silence could do any good is past; that they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by pressing their side of the case with force and forthright-ness. An excellent example of this change is found in the response to the Public Utility Act of 1935, usually referred to as the Rayburn Bill, because it was introduced by Representative Rayburn of Texas. If this bill passes, almost every utility holding company in the nation will be forced to go out of business between 1927 and 1940 and, in addition, during that interim practically every operating utility company will be subjected to the ironclad control of a federal commission. So sweeping are the bill's provisions that an operating company could not engage legal counsel, purchase supplies or make an advertising contract without first obtaining the consent of the federal regulatory authorities. The bill's prospects for passing were extremely poor a short time ago it was In committee, and relatively few Congressmen showed any enthusiasm for it. Then the President issued his famous statement to Con- gress on holding companies, threw the full weight of his Influence behind the bill. Congressmen fell in line, and it seemed inevitable that the bill would pass in practically the same form it had been introduced. Then the "tide of protest" rose. Utility companies sent letters to their stockholders, urged them to write to their Congressmen. They ran advertisements opposing the bill, and pointing to what its effect would be. An association composed of utility investors, large and small they number 10,000,000, and have a stake of in the utility industry, acto Week brought out News cording its heaviest artillery. Result: Sen ate and House postoffice forces have had to work nights in order to handle the thousands of letters to Congressmen opposing the bill. Upshot of the flood of correspondence was a resolution, introduced by Senator Norris, to investigate the source of this "propoganda." That, in the view of many unbiased news- still-- , l a w la Wl anna hi I. secret that utilities and their investors are opposing the bill in order to protect their property. Congressmen Fish of New York rose in the House, said that the President's message was in itself propaganda of the most po tent kind asked, by intimation, why others should not have the right to present their side of the issue with out question. The consequences of all this is that the bill will not, unless all present signs are wrong, pass in its orginal form. Utility leaders are the first to admit that certain individual holding companies have abused their powers but they believe that the way to remedy the situation is through regu lation, not destruction. Other major pieces of legislation are finding opposition from many di rections. The social security program, for example, is being bitterly debated and when it comes up for Congressional consideration there is going to be warfare. That, in the opinion of most commentators, is a good sign fearless debate and newspaper comment are the safeguards of democratic government. rnn 1 4 AK ELWOOD By Mrs. II. P. Rasmussen , i I .

Car manufacturers and metallurgists worked together to produce metal alloys strong and durable enough to withstand the greatly increased pressures and temperatures of the modern motor. Oils, too, must withstand these pressures and temperatures and they must have extra oiliness and film strength to do it. Yet oils generally have no more oiliness and film strength than they had ten years ago. And many new refining methods now used to make oils free from carbon and sludge have lowered instead of increased oiliness and film strength!
