How effective was Harding?
Looking for more examples of the French Revolution decimal clock, Google led me to this trade journal for jewelers. While looking, I bumped into an account of the Wash State Jewelers Convention, held in Spokane in June 1921.

Familiar rhetoric by Repooflicans:
Tuesday morning Dr. W. J. Hindley, director of education for the Washington State Retailers' Association, spoke for over an hour on "Modern Merchandising as it Pertains to the Jewelry Craft." He is an eloquent and magnetic speaker and held his audience in closest attention for over an hour. He pointed out the alarming trend of modern government activities in the direction of socialistic control of industry both in State and nation until the time has been reached, he said, that thoughtful people were crying "less government in business, more business in government." He graphically portrayed the alarming attacks which have been made upon the present distributive system of the country which he declared the most efficient the world has ever known.Wash State Repoofs still sound exactly the same. BUT: Hindley wasn't talking about FDR. He was talking about Harding. How effective was Harding? Very effective. He was trying hard to flatten out the distinction between rich and poor. Leads to a simple permanent definition. Socialism as seen by Repoofs and Libertarians doesn't mean government control of the means of production. Harding was tearing down Wilson's agencies that REALLY DID control the means of production. Harding was moving away from the dictionary definition of socialism, which isn't accurate in the first place. Simple definition: Socialism means paying workers. Capitalism means not paying workers.
