SPENDING AND SAVING

The problem of spending and saving
is as old as civilization and in scarcely any
phase of human conduct do we find
greater differences among different per-
sons. 1t is unfortunate tina so few are able
to strike happy medium between stingi-
ness and wastefuness.
The type of spendthrift who wastes
inherited money is we'll known. as is also
the lazy, shiftless type who lives from hand
to mouth in good times or bad. The indus
trious worker who literally throws away
his earnings is more rare.
An illustration of the latter class is
seen i'll the late author and playwright.
Edgar Wallace, who was one of the most
prolific and successful writer's of all time
In the 25 years before his death he wrote
some $50 full length novels and literally
thousands of short stories, besides 20
plays. So many of his works had big sales,
that his income must have been exceed
ingly large.
He was thought to be a wealthy man.
but at his death his estate was found insult
ficien to pay his debts, and his wife was
left without means of support. 1t seems
incredible that man of Wallace's intelli-
gence and tirelesS energy should have been
SO shOrt-sighted with respect to his finan
cial affairs

THE. ANGLERS SAINT

One of the quaint and lovable char
acters in history was Izaak Whalton,
whose fame rests principally upon a
notable treatise on fishing called The
Compleat Angler published 283 years
ago. 1t has been written of him that
there is hardly name in our literature,
even of the first rank whose Immortality
is more secure, or whose personality is the
subject of more devoted cult
1t is said of him that "multitudes who
have never put worm on a hook have
been caught and securely held by his pic
ture of the delights of the gentle craft,
and by his easy, leisurely transcript of his
own simple, peaceable, lovable and anus
ing character"
In addition to his "Angler," he wrote
several charming volumes of biography
dealing with the lives of distinguished per-
Sonal friends, of whom he had many, most
of whom were devotees of the piscatorial
art
In contrast with the vast majority of
those who have gained lasting fame
through war and strife, Walton has lived
to charm succeeding generations by his
gentleness, kindness and love of nature.
He may we'll be considered the patron
saint of fishermen

"OUR OWN BUSINESS"

The American Federation of Labor,
speaking through President William
Green, views with deep concern the
great emergenGy:, Mexico, where or
ganized labor IS being prosecuted"
We have every sympathy with work
ers anywhere in the world when they face
persecution butsnardly see where the
American Federation of Labor has much
time for affairs in Mexico. If Americans
insist that foreign nations mind their own
business and keep out of American af-
fairs, it is only right and proper that we
make a practice of doing the same thing.

TAX REVISION

Harold Colee, president of the State
Chamber of Commerce, asked the aid of
Florida publishers in fight for complete
revision of the tax structure whether
we like to admit it or not he told a
luncheon meeting of the Associated Dailies
of Florida, in convention here, I'VE have
1,497 taxing agencies in state state. ''The
business man or woman is bewildered by
the maze of them There is no question
we have too many commissions and that

SHOUTS AND GOES TO JAIL

We hear of good deal about Nazi
repression of the individual and it may be
news to some to hear about Louis Mouil~
lete, Frenchman, who shouted, 'Hurrah
for Hitler in France and was sentenced to
a week in jail.
All of which leads to the inevitable
conclusion that European nations pay
more attention to the shouts of individuals
than we do in the United States.

Kansas City, Columbus. Louisville,

Here in these 1922 small cities and
towns and villages we find the Ameri-
can people and American business
that should be given first place in our
thinking and planning for The future
But here we find the forgotten man.
and the forgotten factory.
1t is not true that the big industries
have driven out the small factories In
the country.
In 1929 there were 210.959 factories
OF all types in operation. In 1926 of
these factories there wer- no en-
ployees. The o .Iners did all the work
There were 95.757 of :hese factories
that worked from one to FIVE en-
plOyees: 53,524 worked from six to
twenty employ ees. and 25.022 worked
from tgenty-one to fifty employees.
This means tina 81 .739 of the 210.959
factories in this country are small.
and with reference to size are of the
same general type as the factories
that were in operation before the civil
war. These small factories have more
than a million and a half employees
and are big actor in our industrial
life. Small factories. it would seem,
are rapidly increasing The number
of factories increased from 187. 800 in
1925 to 210,959 in 1929, and the aver
age number of employee: fell from
"A and fraction to Al and fraction
Nearly 100000 employees work in
factories that have from one to FIVE
employees. More employees work in
factories that work from one to ten
employees than the total number of
mechanical workers in all the auto
mobile factories, all the garages. and
all the automobile repair shops in
this country.
Under the new industrial conditions
brought about ~ the electric-gaso-
line revolution. the opportunities for
small industries will be greatly in
creased. There are. perhaps n ore and
better opportunities today for men of
character and capacity with small
capital to go mt the manufacturing
business under their own direction
than ever before in the history of our
country
The small factory has a large place
in our industrial life. and. with the
natural decentralization of business
that is now going on. its place will
grow relatively larger. if the move
ment is not reversed by the unwar-
ranted Capitalization of political
power.

DR.. Horder, personal physician to
King Edward VIII, now visiting in the
United States, has repeatedly said that
doctors get mighty little prestige without
publicity" 1t is unethical for doctors to
advertise, but there would be bowling and
crashing of teeth if the newspapers would
leave off the DR." whenever the name of
a disciple Of Aesculapius is mentioned.

llclty value in mere name, but Dr.

edge observes the industrial life of
the nation from behind a big smoke
stack of the big industries in the big
industrial centers. From this view
point he draws his conclusions with
reference to the conditions of the
American working man. A man of
small mind can see only big. conspic-
uouS things. He can't even see the
small things that are close to him. As
: he sees the great crowds enter the big
industries and take THEN places in
the great complex productive proc
ess. he deplores the destruction of the
small factories by the big industries.

slider these of much Importance in
the study of the problem of our in
duStrial life. Hence the lie and the
industrial conditions and opportuni-
ties in the outlying districts are ig-
nored. He would be shocked and
amazed to hear anyone say that these
big cities and industrial centers are
not America, that they are very far
from being the most important part
of this country.
