To Overcome Its Critics

McGahen points out an important figure on a chart he
used during his talk on corn. The chart shows figures

Speaking before the an
nual meeting of the Ameri

Hardesty coined a new name
for muckrakers of the 1970’5:
“They’re antipreneurs. If you
accept entrepreneurs as the
generic term for business
men, changing to the negative
prefix is quite appropriate
since those who hammer
away at the business com
munity are for the most part
a negative lot.
Converting America
“How are they succeeding ?
By converting America from
a nation that once respected
initiative and economic
achievement and honored the
rags-to-riches hero, to a na
tion that imputes its busi
nessmen with venal motives
and dispicable conduct, a na
tion that is coming to idolize
the reverse-twist, a riches
to-rags anti-hero,” he ex

Deficit Spending Halt
Urged by Farm Leader
Roger Fleming, secretary
treasurer of the American
Farm Bureau Federation,
said in a recent legislative
conference in Oklahoma City
that inflation is one of the
most serious threats to our
economic system which he de
scribed as "U.S. style capital-
ism.”
“Not until the Congress,
itself, decides to get control
of government spending will
we be able to stop deficit
spending, the principal cause
of inflation,” he observed.
“Emergency efforts, such as
the establishment of price
and wage controls, are merely
‘stop gap’ measures,” he said.
“They do not treat the causes
of inflation.”
