STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, April —Do our 4!! states show a tendency toward de veloping into 48 separate countries? Ii' they do, we shan't admit that they've done sn. of course. Neverthe less Senator C. O'Mahoney's s o - called monopoly committee w a s solemnly warned by export witness es the other d;iy that they do show such ;i tendency— in effect. By the way. it's quite incorrect to F>viik Bane .U11" V'.'4I,,~ honey out j it ;) mo nopoly investigating committee." Its real purpose is to figure out. if it can. what's the matter, if anything with our national economics in gen eral—not to deal with monopolies in particulai. Anyhow, it's widely agreed that the United .States, in the main, has ■ Ken pretty pro. perous, as compar ed with most the res1 of "he world. And even high tariff protectionists admit, that 11- prosperity probably, has been largely due to the fact that .it's been the mo t extensive single free trade area < n eai th. State Tax Harriers But in recent years many slat's have adopted policies of rr-ciin.! t . barrier- to exclude other *-t.;i(<•*<" goods from their variou: individual nar' els. They don't concede that they're protective tariffs (that would be federally unconstitutional.) but that's what they amount to. There':: been . ome complaint about it. and a little le...> of it in the last year than previously. Still, it's quite prevalent yet. It's a sy:.t'm again t which a warning has in I been sounded, be fore the O'Mahoney committer", by several first-rale authoriti--" -—not ably Executive Secretary Frank Bane of the Council of State Gov ernments and Dr. F. Eugene Meldr-r. Clark university eeonomi t. Senator O'Mahoney's committee is described as "temporary." Drs. Bane and Melder think it ought to be made "permanent " They want internal tariff abol ished. "Mr First" Attitude Dr. Bane goes farther than that. To be sure, internal tariffs are hi-; principal grievance, but he points also to the inclination of each state to solve its local problems at the ex pense of all other state;. For in stance. state No. i reasons that it has to have help from the other 47 •tate«. Each of the other -17 claims its share (or more than its fair share) from ^tate No. 1. Consequently, asserts Dr. Bane, individual states (trying to flim flam other state-) demand federal legislation of a properly purely state-wide character. Moreover, they get it. bv a orocess of swapping of vote- on Caoitol hill —thus getting federal legislation on purely intrastate jssue<. On the opposite hand, the federal government, trying to regulate it npv!npnt? to the various states, un dertakes to tell said states what to do in connection with intra-state management—in violation of states' rights.
