Why Continue the Wagner Act Farce

The House Rules Committee favors a probe of the National Labor Relations Board while hearings on Wagner Act amendments reveal bias and misoperation. Opposition grows in Congress, but prospects for major revision this session look dim as Administration and many lawmakers resist floor fights. The piece argues the act worsened industrial strife, cites auto industry losses, and urges outright repeal as the only sensible fix.

West Virginia runs fiscal year in the black with surplus

Parking in the Park Detroit Plans Free Bus Service

Detroit's street railway commission aims to buy large edge city parking lots and offer free bus service to parkers into the central business district. The plan would charge parking fees sufficient to cover charges and bus service, using revenue bonds now allowed for municipal parking facilities. This could remove much auto traffic from the business district and treat parking as a public utility alongside water and sewer services.

Répke’s view on New Deal trials and recovery

A condensed critique by Wilhelm Röpké, the European economist, arguing that recovery hinges on entrepreneurial optimism and a flexible market system. He warns against planning as a substitute for free enterprise, cautions that off gold moves and selective interventions harm, and cautions that inflation and devaluation schemes misfire. He concludes that government action should support existing mechanisms, not impose a command economy, to spur a global recovery.
