Aroused Indiana Businessmen
- Feeling Their Political Oats
BY PETER EDSON
WEA Serviee Correspondent
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, — (NEA) — The Indiana
State Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Man
v .acturers’ Association are in politics right up to
the hilt, They are holding meetings, printing, pub
iishing and propagandizing all over the state at an
unprecedented rate.
There are some Indiana political observers who
believe that this newly awakened interest of busi=
nessmen in politics is accomplishing no net change
in the political atmosphere. In other words, it is
c'aimed that the businessmen are only talking to
t :emselves and convineing those already convinced
o. their views.
Sut there is more to it than that, Cressing the
£ ~.e twice, stopping in half a dozen smaller cities
: » well as Indianapolis, this correspondent had run
i ‘o many new manifestations of an awakened po
-1 .ical activity that is unsual even for Indiana,
\. . ich takes its politics pretty seriously,
Several factors seem to have been responsible,
Oe was the licking the cock-sure Republicans took
i the 1948 election, Another was the legislative
program which the Democratic-controlled House
almost put over in the 1949 state legislature. Still
another was growing opposition by businessmen to
proposals of the Truman adprinistration in Wash
ington, Finally there was a general feeling that
something had to be done in the way of political
organization to offset the success of the CIO Polit=
ical Action Committee,
“There is a powerful and efficient organization
working against your best interests,” wrote A. C.
(*snde, executive vice-president of the Indiana
Manufacturers’ Association in a July 1, 1949, letter
to his members. The subject of this letter was “Po~
litical Strategy.” It marked the start of an unpub
licized but none the less forceful effort to make the
viewpoint of management better known to lawmak
ers and political officials in state and city offices.
This approach resulted in part from experience
during the last sessions of the state legislature, Law
makers then asked the representatives of the manu
facturers why they canre around only once every
two years, when the legislature was in session.
Typical of the way in which the manufacturers
have quietly been trying to correct this situation is
the report on a recent meeting in Batesville, Ind,, in
the furniture manufacturing session, Harold Inger
soll, president of the Indiana Manufacturers, and a
few other IMA officials met for seven hours with
the two state senators and two candidates for the
lower house from the area, just to acquaint them
with the problems of management.
OUT WITH THEIR OWN SLATE
But the connection is even closer than that. In
the recent Indiana primrary, seven members of the
Indiana Manufacturers’ Association were nominated
for the legislature. Two won nominations for the
senate, five for the lower house. One of the serate
candidates and two of the house candidates were
Democrats, the others Republican,
The feeling seems to be that since it is the busi
nessmen who are asked to make the campaign con
tributions that support the two political parties,
these same people should have some se&y in who the
candidates shall be that seek public office.
While the Manufacturers’ Association has thus
been working at the top levels of political influence,
the Indiana State Chambef of Commerce has em
barked on a campaign of much broader appeal.
Under Clarence A. Jackson, executive vice-presi
dent of the Indiana Chantber, an ambitious pro
grary of political education has been mapped out.
Jackson is registered as a Democrat and is a former
Paul V., McNutt assistant on social security admin
istration. Jackson is also an official of National Tax
Equality Association, which has been fighting the
co-cps in particular and high taxes in general.
Last January the state Chamber brought out a
handbook on “Citizenship Participation.” It is one
of the most complete collections of political data
ever assembled in any state. It presents election
statistics, county by county, It analyzes platforms,
issues, taxation, labor legislation and legislative pro
posals, It gives the records of all officeholders. It is
intended primarily for political organizers.
At a lower level, the Indiana Chamber has pub~
lished a more popular textbock, “Here Is Your In
diana Government.” This has been placed as a text«
book in sonve 300 Indiana high school history and
eivics ¢lasses. p
The results of all this effort are perhaps best
measured by Indiana primary election results. In
1948, about 30 percent of the 2,000,000 Indiana reg
istered voters turned out to cast ballots, In 1950
they got it up to 41 percent, 1
The increase was analyzed by the Indianapolis
Times, which made several surveys to check its
own Irdings, as due to people who “didn’t like the
way things were going and wanted a change.”
Mm test on this, of course, will come in Novem-
Amslgamation (with the CIO) has been the tr'a
€itional attitude of the AFL.—AFL President Wil
“iam Greene.
Sooner Rent Control Reverts
To Local Level, the Better
The passage of a rent control bill by both houses
of Congress is a vietory for President Truman, albeit
almost wholly a pelitical triumph.
At the start of the year prospects for extension of
federal controls seemed dim. The President wanted
them continued a year beyond the June 30 dead
line; he got only half that, but controls are being
kept alive, |
He achieved this much largely because this is an
election year and many congressnren from large
cities feared yeprisals at the polls if they allowed
controls to lapse. Surely Mr. Truman is well aware
of the issue’s political potency.
If you strip away the political covering, what is
the merit of the rent control argument in 19507
Price controls are long since gone from every
other area of American life. Is there any justice in
continuing them on housing alone?
A fair answer would seem to be that so long as a
general housing shortage existed rent ceilings fed
erally governed were a wise and proper measure.
For the theory behind any price control is to block |
an upward price surge when demand for a produet |
clearly outruns supply. 1
Unless all signs are wrong, there has been no }
general shortage of living space in this country for |
a long time, Serious deficiencies continue in many 1
localities, but the impact of three years of heavy ‘
private building gradually is making itself felt in
more and more areas, |
Perhaps the whole matter thws should have been
turned back to the states and cities last year or |
earlier. They do have power to decontrol if they
feel their situation warrants, and a lot of sections '
have exercised that power. But by staying in the
picture, the federal government has given other
areas an excuse for not establishing their own con=-
trols—as would seem more sensible.
New York and Wisconsin already are operating
under state rent controls. Their initiative unhappily
hasn’t been widely copied. The time has come to
leave the problem to places where shortages still
exist. Theyve leaned on Washington long enough
for protection.
The new extension won’t go beyond next Janu
ary. But the bill provides that after the next dead
line communities can continue controls another six
months at their option. It would be better if this
feature had been left out, for it simply delays fur
ther the period when many localities shall have to
stand on their own feet,
Controls should stay wherever there is real hous
ing lack. But the dots on the national shortage map
are no longer big enough to be the concern of
Washington,
Economic Weathervane Shows
Fair Weather for Time Being
Another business gcare seems to have vanished
in air, Once more the economists are flying their
brightest flags; some even profess to see fair eco~
nomic weather clear through 1951.
This year, of course, there's been no serious
downturn in business activity like that in 1949, The
biggest storm warning was the unemployment fig
ure, which kept mounting until by February it hit
better than 4,600,000.
There was talk of 5,500,000 out of work by fall,
and higher totals later. The great labor federations
were getting ready to demand huge public works
programs to take up the slack.
Now it’s all different. Unemployment has fallen
to around 3,000,000. Actually, more than 2,700,000
additional workers are employed today as compared
with gloomy February, But the U. S. labor force is
growing swiftly, and many of those who have
found jobs are new workers.
The Federal Reserve Board has just struck a
cheerful note. It foresees continued heavy demand
for automobiles, homes, and the durable products
that go with the home—furniture, iceboxes, stoves,
and the like.
If the board is right, and it has a lot of company
in this forecast, the solid basis exists for mainten
ance cf high level business activity for many
months. .
Does all this mean we can stop worrying about a
depression? We've shrugged off so many false
scares since the war ended that no one could be
blamed for thinking maybe we can stay out of trou
ble for a long time.
And perhaps we can. Some experts point out
that the foundation for mruch of this encouraging
growth of business lies in two fundamental facts:
the marked increase in population, and the still
greater rise in the number of new family units,
In this latter, especially, which helps account for
the unprecedented demand for housing and house
hold goods. New homes are being formed at an
almost unbelievable pace. And the end of the up
ward trend is far out of sight in the future,
Yet, with all this healthy growth, we still ought
to exercise reasonable caution in viewing the fu
ture, Prospects are good, yes. But we have to re
member that the economic system we iive by is a
delicate machine with many interlocking parts. A
breakdown anywhere can spread rapidly to other
places.
That doesn't mean we shouldn’t maintain our
optimism. It simply means we should be on the
watch for signs of maladjustment, should move in
quickly to repair the damage before it can hobble
the whole country.
