Private enterprise powers future growth against socialized plans
The article argues private enterprise can meet rising power demand across the nation from Atlantic to Gulf, with investments funded privately and taxed heavily, while opposing socialized projects. It cites stalled hydro and river projects in New York and Idaho, saying public regulation will cap profits and control rates, contrasting with tax-free, subsidized state ventures.

Meat prices rise and fall with supply and demand
Professor E J Working of the University of Iowa emphasizes that meat prices depend on supply and demand in both short and long run. He notes past policy restricting production raised prices but reduced farmer sales, harming consumers and workers, and argues that livestock controls and direct price caps failed to address the root causes and can push prices higher in the long run. The free market, he says, best serves all parties.
