A leader tells us that he, does
best worrying early in the morn
ing when he first wakes up. For
some reason troubles loom large
st at this time and resistance a.
gainst them is at its lowest ebb.
1t is said that the job insuranc
plan and old age .penson plan an
the plan providing medical after
ton by the state was a failure
Germany. The reason 1t failed w;
because of the abuses that cerpt !
as time went on and the unwil
ingness of politicians and offic
holders to take a stand agains
their abuses. They became ovel
loaded with job holders and COZ
rupt with speacial privileges am
preference. The whole scheme, al
ter having been tried for some sew
enty years was wiped out by Hit
Ter. One writer states that the sys

was by dictator. ALI others were
afraid of the consequences.
Here is a good creed for time
lille this; The future has nothing
in store for the man who fears it.
1t is singular isn't it that mos
of the big business men in this
county whose fortunes were built
on the sale of watered stock arc
the very ones now who are com
planning the lowdest against in
flation. They are the ones who If
the little private inveser, lodged
their taxes and INDUCED in al
sorts of econic immortality.
One secret of geeting along ir
this world is ennlisting the support
of others. A man can't do much il
a business way single handed. 4

friends one makes, the we'll wish
ers one has that helps him along
the way and makes the path to
success easier and less cluttered
with obstacles.
The world is beginning to find

material help to all of us who have
our names on notes at times like
this. Such a plank might fit well
with Huey Longs "Share the wea-
lth" program.
The igovepnment warehouse act
enables farmers to seal grain, re-
ceiv certificates that can be used
for collateral to obtain loans. The
plan appeals to many as better
plan than curtailing productionand
destroying SURPRISES. One thing
however should be understoodin
the beginning if such a plan were
followed, the presnce of surplus
of any commodity in government
warehouses would tend to hold
down prices on every bushel of
grain produced in the country. De
sirable asi t may seem it is not pos
sible to permit unlimited produc-
ton and at the same time hold UP
the price. Scarcity not surplus is
the controlling factor in raising
prices. If our production is more
than is necessary for domestic de-
mand we must of necessity, if we
would secure a price, either con-
troll production or seek an outlet
for the surplus in foreign markets.
Under the present condition of
world wide affairs to secure an out
let in foreign markets, we must by
reciprocal treaties accept agricul-
tural or manufactured prducts from
other countries in payment since
they have no money with which to
purchase for cash and must resort
to the barter and trade system
Both dilemas of the situation have
their followers and their opposition
but after all the problem is a yery
elementary one. If we follow one
course we achieve one result. If we
follow the other course we achieve
the ohter result. We can't straddle
the fence and thus secure the ad-
vantages of both to the exclusion of
their disadvantages.
