![["A petition to Congress is calling for the abolition of the Office of Price Administration (OPA) due to its oppression of small businesses, veterans, and widows, violation of laws and the Constitution, destruction of small businesses, causing scarcity in necessities, fostering black markets, wasting public funds, and showing opposition to free enterprise. The petition also criticizes the OPA for furthering communist ideals, being un-American, tyrannical, and corrupt. Specific examples are provided to support these claims, including arbitrary regulations, unfair fines, and abusive behavior towards citizens. The petition argues that the OPA's false theory of central control is misguided and that most Americans are honest and patriotic, not in need of excessive government intervention."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Petition to Abolish the Office of Price Administration: A Call for Sensible Controls and Freedom")
![["The document is expressing frustration with the OPA (Office of Price Administration) and rent control restrictions, stating that they are un-American and oppressive. The writer is asking for relief from the restrictions and is seeking help from Congressman George S. Schwabe to lift the rent control act in the community. They are also questioning the fairness of being burdened with increased costs while being limited by rent control regulations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_55_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_55_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Appeal for Relief: The Impact of OPA on Property Owners")
![["The document from Edward Watters, President of the Tulsa Rental Property Owners Association, requests relief from the Rent Regulations, specifically asking for higher rent ceilings to cover maintenance and repairs. Congressman George B. Schwabe acknowledges the request and forwards it to the Rent Control Division, but expresses skepticism about the likelihood of obtaining relief due to bureaucratic control in Washington. Schwabe also criticizes the Office of Price Administration for its oppressive regulations and advocates for independent and private enterprise rather than national control of economic activities."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_61_0000-Price%20Administration,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_61_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Letter from Tulsa Rental Property Owners Association to Congressman George B. Schwabe regarding Relief from Rent Regulations")
![["The document is a discussion between Mr. F. N. Davis and Honorable George B. Schwabe regarding reasons to do away with the O.P.A. (Office of Price Administration). Davis provides examples of how price control regulations are negatively impacting various industries such as building materials, meat, machine tools, and rent control. He argues that removing restrictions would lead to a quicker recovery to normalcy. Schwabe responds positively to Davis' arguments, indicating that he has consistently voted against the retention and extension of the O.P.A. and appreciates Davis' insights."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_20_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_20_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Discussion on the O.P.A.: An Examination of Economic Implications")
