There is a strong tendency to enlarge the scope of political government so as to include also industrial government. Whether this shall grow into state socialism or whether private enterprises will be able individually or collectively to establish a satisfactory form of government, supplementary to political government, is one of these large interesting questions which may be decided within a generation or two. The solution may depend upon the ability of the employees to develop a constructive power and effective government among themselves...
Representative Longworth, realizing this fact, has presented a bill which requires the licensing of all foreign dyes brought into the country, and establishes a board whose duty it will be to provide that only the dyes that are absolutely necessary shall be licensed.

The fault of this is clearly demonstrated by the conditions now existing throughout the country. The year 1919 was a profitable one for all business both large and small; as a result there are large taxes to be paid, most of which fall due in the calendar year 1920. But this year has been vastly different from the last; with the acknowledged diminishing of trade have also come the decline of inventory values, receipts...
