Those engaged in looking for new

Those engaged in looking for new
sources of revenue have turned
their attention to taxing the sur
pluses of big corporations. The cor
porations represent to the commit
tee that large cash reserves are
necessary in the operation of a
corporation as an insurance policy
against bankruptcy in times Of low
production. If too big and too fire.
quent raids are made on big in
dustry by assessors of taxes we may
find developing in this country a
sympathy and a championship of
big industry born Of martyrdom.
The new move is one Of such far
reaching possibilities that 1t should
be approached only after most care
full consideration. The worst thing
that could happen to recovery at
this stage would be for capital to
take a holiday.

1--WE spend no money on advertis-
ing-that's why we can undersell
the other fellow" shouts the sales
man of unbranded merchandise. 1t
sounds logical, doesn't it? It couldn't
sound any more logical if it were
true-which it definitely isn't.
Ever since it became common
knowledge that vast sums are spent
for the promotion of trade-marked
products, it has been customary to
lay all manner of price differentials
to the high cost Of advertising.
Advertising is not an expenditure.
It is an investment. It does make
added profits for advertisers
because it gives them the sacred
right to boost prices, but because it
so widens the field of activity that
production can be stepped up and
when production is stepped up,
manufacturing costs 60 down. A
IIldIlu1dCGulcI uoAl1S q S2SoV oSesA Va
raw material can obviously buy to
better advantage.
Furthermore, the fixed cost of
owning a factory remains about the
same, whether the manufacturer is
making one thousand units per day
or ten thousand units per day; and
the cost of distribution decreases
rather than increases with an in
crease in sales. Consequently, by
increasing the output of the factory
tenfold, the unit overhead charge
becomes a great deal less than it
had been previously. Advertising
makes this increased output possible
and does it economically. That is,
widespread advertising costs less
than increased production saevs.
This more often makes possible a
decrease, rather than an increase in
prices.
So advertising is really the friend
of your budget-even though you
may not know it.

A law must be, and will be, en-
acted some day that will take the
habitual careless drivers their Ii
censes from them and never give
them back. There is a habitual
crime law by which those guilty Of
a third criminal offense are sent to
the penitentiary for life. There
should be a car drivers law by
which those responsible for three
accidents would be deprived perm
anently of their licenses.

There is a good deal said about
the desirability of the little shop
and store owner in community, but
most people when they 60 out to
buy an article, hunt up the big
store, thus making the big fellow
bigger and the little fellow hitler.
The strange part of it is that the
same person, after having helped
with his patronage to make the big
fellow bigger, will sit down and howl
his head off about how big business
in this country is strangling the lit
tie fellow. It isn't big business that
strangled the little fellow it is the
customer who gives all his trade to
the big fellow, who is responsible
for the strangling of the little fell
low.

FEARS HOLD BACK RECOVERY

FEARS HOLD BACK RECOVERY
Business is getting better. It has
recovered to some extent from the
abysmal lows that followed the
crash. It is striving hard to 60
ahead.
How much better would business
be if it we're freed from the con-
slant threat of political strangula-
ton masquerading as regulation
from actual government COMPETE
ton, and, finally, from a growing
tax burden which is disheartening
to the investment of savings, and
which ominously threatens to be-
come confiscatory?
No one can answer that question
definitely. But it is not a coinci-
dence that scores of responsible
spokesman offer the opinion that
these fears are q tremendous drag
on the recovery movement.

Americans are criticized as race
of gamblers. It is true, we are
race of gamblers. Our scheme of liv-
ing has made us so. A farmer who
puts out a crop CANDLES with ma
ture and the markets. A merchant
who puts in big stock CANDLES
that crops will be good, or the year
will be good, and he will have a
good business. There is too much
chance entering into everyday liv-
ing to expect to keep submerged
the gambling instinct.

Most of the yards that have been
raked this spring in this section
have been raked by the women Of
the house. It is possible we have
overlooked some yards that the men
have raked but it has not been an
intentional oversight. Being a man,
we can easily understand why the
women have done most of the rak-
ing jobs that have been done in the
community. The women are so
eager to get at spring cleaning that
they simply get the job done before
the men can get around to it.

Among the Indians he was held
in highest esteem who could bring
in the most scalps or the most
game. Things aren't so greatly diff
ferent today. In most communities
he is held in highest esteem who

biggest house, the best car, or who
can provide the most clothes and
jewelry. The Indian was merely a
trifle more frank and elementary in
his expression.

So much ridicule has been direct
ed against the statement made by
candidates that their entrance into
the race is prompted purely by the
insistence of their friends that even
when such is the case, a candidate
hesitates a long time before he will
offer this as a reason for his en-
trance into the race.

TT JUST DOESN'T WORK

II JUST DOcON WOAeAN
All want higher standards of llv-
ing. All want larger salaries and
wages. That desire has been reflect
ed in laws and regulations designed
to achieve that happy end.
Unfortunately, basic facts are OFT
en- forgotten. On the theory that
higher prices would result in higher
wages, we have been given laws re-
stricting the production of necessi-
ties that lower prices through great
er efficiency, faster turnover, and
smaller profits, in an effort to en-
courage less efficient business.
But the only income that counts
to an individual is real income"
income measured in the light Of
purchasing power. A dollar is moth
ing but a measure of value. Two
dollars that will buy twenty pounds
of sugar are not as valuable as one
dollar which will buy twenty-five.
This is not an argument for fore
ing prices down to profitless levels.
It is an argument against laws or
practices which force prices, di-
rectly or indirectly, to artificial
levels, to the detriment of the pub
Lie. It is an established fact that
purchasing power always lags far
behind law-made boosts in price
structures. If it is made illegal to-
distribute and sell products in the
most economic manner, the 125 mill
lion American consumers are 60
ing to suffer.
Supply and demand is still the
economic law. It cannot be circum-
vented without counting disaster.
Legislation and special class taxa
ton to penalize one group to aid
another legislation that would pro-
mote scarcity of necessities legis-
1ation that forgets the consumer,
robs every family in the nation by
increasing household bills.

POLITICIANS SHOULD KNOW

POLITICIANS SHOULD KNOW
One of the most interesting de-
velopments of recent weeks has
been the sudden alarm of many
men in public office over various
political and economic theories
which happened to originate else
where than In legislative halls.
Openly the politicians are express
ing amazement at many of these
new plans and projects and wonder
ing out aloud just where and how
they were inspired.
But the politicians should be the
last of men to ask such questions.
For years many of them, in the
quest of popular support, have been
advocating projects not only start
ling and unusual, but frequently at
odds with our American theories of
government.
For years many of them have
been preaching, for example, the
exact opposite of Grover Cleveland's
famous dictum that it is the busi-
ness of the people to support the
government-no of the government
to support the people.
But whatever the temporary in
fluence Of such PHILOSOPHERS on
scattered groups of citizens, they
seem to be exercising little effect
on the great productive body of
American workers and earners.
Recognizing a responsibility to
the handicapped and unfortunate,
this predominant group, which rep
resents the real strength and spirit
of America still believes with Theo-
dore Roosevelt that America ex-
poets every citizen to be willing, so
far as he is able, to pull his own
weight.
And so long as that typically
American spirit of courage and self
reliance prevails, neither the poll
ticians nor the people need fear the
widest theories. - Raymond Pit
cairn.
