QUITE A REIGNY SPELL
The Sunday school text was from
II Kings, 22: “Josiah was eight
years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned thirty and one years
in Jerusalem.” When little Paul,
aged four, was asked what the les-
son was about, he answered: “It
must ’a been another flood. There
was a little boy named Josiah, and
it began to rain when he was eight,
and when he was 31 it was still driz-
zlin’.”
The Approach
Planned Economy was advocated
in Germany by a small group of
theorists as long ago as 1880. The
large mass of politically minded
Germans considered them harmless
cranks and toyed with their ideas
abstractly for all of ten years before
they saw danger in them. People
who were loyal to the old Germany
and its ways learned suddenly that
Planned Economy was gaining popu-
larity.
Serious consideration of Planned
Economy started among conserva-
tive thinkers in Germany about half j
a century ago. Deliberate, Tuetonic j
minds almost universally opposed
the thought of manhandling econom-
ic laws which they recognized as
natural laws, worthy of respect in
any orderly society. Just the same,
they saw in Planned Economy a pow-
erful tool for rough work.
Something Different
Fifteen or 20 years passed without
much outward change. Planned
Economy was still in the back-
ground. Everybody seemed con-
scious of it. More and more people
admitted believing that parliaments
had a right to enact written laws
against the workings of competition
as they understood it. In fact, every
time a German became dissatisfied
with conditions he thought about
Planned Economy.
Finally 1914 came, bringing World
War I. Germany quickly went all-
out for Planned Economy. It was
a shrewd political move. People
reasoned feebly that open competi-
tion must cost something, and accept-
ed the new order in the name of ef-
ficiency; to win the war. All in-
dustry went hurriedly under gov-
ernment control, and the dreams of
yesterday’s unpopular minority be-
came the rule.
Monopolies Thrived
Government managers eliminated
new and growing industrial plants.
Huge monopolies grew larger still.
It was the easy way for government
because a few big concerns are less
trouble to manage than a large num-
ber pf small ones. Competitors en-
tered into cartels to hike prices and
hide incompetence. They divided
markets like pies and traded cus-
tomers as if they were sheep.
Defeated in World War I, burden-
ed with reparations, lame of man-
power, Germany took a still bigger
dose of government control. By 1935
Hitler was dictating to a race of con-
servatives who still remember laugh-
ing at the economic planners and
raying, “It can’t happen here.” Plan-
ned Economy had given way to Na-
tional Socialism; in other words,
plain dictatorship.

and Mrs. A. V. Price, Mr. and Mrs.
Oscar Legate, Mr. and Mrs. Luther

Like a Drug Habit
We have Planned Economy in Am
erica now, a powerful weapon for
rough work such as we are doing.
But Planned Economy is still a habit-
forming medicine. If America is to
be prosperous again, this drug must
be used sparingly. Rationing is ef-
fective if it’s necessary, poisonous if
it’s not. Rationing, in its only safe
form, is held to an irreducible mini-
mum not taken for effect.
America’s defenders and her al-
lies must be fed. Also must the
people at home understand that their
government is still a power that’s
friendly to them. Returning now
to the easy rationing rules of last
September and October would yield
more support voluntarily than Hit-
ler himself could get with his three-
speed machine: (1) Planned Eco-
nomy, (2) Regimentation, (3) Dic-
tatorship.

20 CARS WILL GO
TO THE SCRAP PILE !
It’s hard to believe . . that 50000 cars, DAILY, are
going out of service. Yet, that is the rate at which we
are losing our cars to the scrap pile.
Many cars, still running, can only be saved by re-
building, completely. Many, however, can be kept alive,
indefinitely, by following the simple rules of conserva-
tion, such as Periodic Motor Tune-up; Chassis and Front-
End Adjustments,
BUT MOST IMPORTANT, and the service which
takes First Award for car conservation, is frequent, cor-
rect and complete lubrication.
Every motor and chassis part has a useful life of
just so many miles. But to get those miles, each part must
receive the correct, Factory Specified Lubricants with all
vital parts inspected by expert eyes to catch trouble BE-
FORE it happens.
Below are listed the points covered by such a Fac-
tory Specified Lubrication. Make it your Conservation
Service in our shop.

To the Citizens of Lamar and Fan-
nin Counties:
Greetings:
In crtical days like these, the most
critical the world has ever known,
with the greatest burden and the
heaviest responsibilities our nation
has ever faced, it becomes your duty
to elect a Flotorial Representative
to replace the late Hon. Chas. R.
Floyd.
It is very important to place a
sound, conservative man in this
place. The decisions made now may
affect our entire future and the fu-
ture of our children. We owe them
this safeguard.
In offering my services as your
Flotorial Representative in the Tex-
as Legislature, I. do so, understand-
ing perfectly the responsibilities it
carries. It is an opportunity to serve
you, and I pledge you my sincerest
efforts to faithfully carry out in de-
tail the duties entrusted to me.
Problems of vital interest to the
county, state, nation and the world
6re constantly before us, and we
' • ■ ’.V. .' ■■ . ' • , AjfSf • i
must face them with all sincerity.
May I have your vote and influ-
ence in this special election, March
17, A. D. 1945. Respectfuly,
JOHN r. McArthur.
