THE BIGGEST MONOPOLY
The average man has a natural dread of monopolies. because he realizes that when confronted with one he cannot be sure of a fair deal, and whatever happens he has no redress. It is worth thinking about that the biggest monopoly of all is a Socialist Government which lias extended its activities unreasonably. For example, a bank customer is sure of better service when several trading banks are in competition. than from a State banking monopoly. It is competition, within the free enterprise system, which has provided the variety of goods and services that make up modern life. Stale monopolies would tend toward uniformity and monotony, while service to the people would deteriorate liecause of red-tape and bureaucratic restrictions. Free enterprise belongs to a free country.—Arlvt. '
