Fatigue

Many people suffering from In
testinal Fatigue, commonly called
Constipation, do not know what
1t is to feel good. One or two
E-Z Tablets for a day or two are
just what these people need. They
have more pep" and step livelier
than in years. Dizziness, tired
feeling, headaches, when due to
constipation, disappear. Surely
makes a difference. See for your
self. You get so little E-Z Tablets

living in the cities were similarly af-
fected, inasmuch as they could not
utilize organized pressure to force up
ward the return on their services.
These with their dependents total
about 20 million. While their standards
of living perhaps were not actually
lowered, most of them realized little
gain from the great advance in produc-
tive efficiency made in that period.
The diminution in purchasing power
of these groups, or its failure to rise,
in turn, reacted on others. Business
men sold less goods, and workers
everywhere found it harder to get jobs.
The forces that were retarding the
farmers prosperity were by no means
helping the man in the city.
Progress-But Not Enough
It is true that our economic system
has brought us living standards higher
than those existing anywhere else in
the world. Between 1900 and 1880, as
an example, per capita income, in
terms of what it would buy, increased
about 38 per cent, at the same time,
working hours were reduced about 13
per cent. But the fact of idle plant ca
pacity indicated that we could have pro-
duced more goods and thus raised liv-
Ing standards.
Studies we have made at the Brook.
ings Institution, aided by grant from
the Falk Foundation, of Pittsburgh.
throw significant light on this. We
made detailed survey of productive
capacity in manufacturing, mining,
farming and all the other major divi.
sions of industry, resulting In the find.
ing that our productive plant could
have turned out about 20 per cent more
than 1t did.
II nobody had wanted to buy any
thing, the idle plant would have been
easily explained. But. millions of fami
lies were not getting nearly enough
income to satisfy their wants.
Nearly s million farm and city fami.
lies received incomes of less than
$1,000; IS millions received less than
1000; and 10 millions. or II per cent
Of the total. less than $500. More
than 81 per cent of farm families got
less than $1,000. OF course. In consid-
ering farm income the lower living
costs OF rural areas should be kept in
mind. But. no matter where they lived,
families trying TO pay for food. cloth"
ing, medical service. education, ETC., on
$1,000 were not prosperous.
The extent Of untitled wants may be
Judged by the fact that nearly all fam.
lily income in the $4,000 class Or lover
II spent for ordinary consumption
goods-food, shelter, clothes, educa-
ton, etc. Fifteen million families got
less than this figure.
Purchasing Power Must Expand
Our productive efficiency is increas-
ing year by year in normal times. That
is, we are learning how to make things
more cheaply. But IL the people are to
buy the added products thus made DOS
sible, their purchasing power must
grow with production.
Expanding purchasing power cannot
be created simply by printing more
money. That would just raise prices.
And we cannot accomplish much by
sharing wealth or income" Such a
program would entail taking income
from skilled workers, many farmers,
small shopkeepers, government clerks,

for manufactured goods or has pre-
vented them from obtaining lower
ones. The same was true in large de-
gree of the city jewellers mentioned
above who do not work for wages,
numbering 20 million. An economic dis
parity was created between two great
segments of our population, raising a
serious barrier to economic progress.
But if we permit the fruits of mans
inventive genius and chronological ad-
vance to reach the people in the form
of price reductions, no such barriers
are raised All classes benefit alike to
the extent that they are consumers;
the chief gain is in the low income
groups where it is most needed.
To the farmer, it means better
houses. tools, food, clothes. and in gen.
eral steady rise in his standards of
living that he can get no other way.
Price reductions. of course. must not
come from wage cuts, if they are to
increase purchasing power. But we
must reduce prices as we learn to make
things more cheaply. This is the way
we can expand consumption solidly,
year after year. which in turn will call
forth larger production. 1t is the way
forward envisaged in the theory of our
profit and loss system. Increased eff
cheney makes price reductions pos
sible: competition insures that they
actually take place.
Price Sterilization Tendencies
Whereas the period Of great techno-
logical advance between 1870 and 1890
brought notable price reductions, con.
tributing much to raising living stand.
ards. there was little reduction of
prices in the similar period of 1929.
Productive efficiency in manufacturing
in the latter era as measured by output
per worker. increased about rs per
cent. But forces of price maintenance
had become 80 strong that retail prices
In the aggregate remained practically
stationary.
OF course, there was competition in
many lines, and prices declined &C.
cordingly. But this was not true OF all
producers. Artificial devices to main.
tain prices damned up the stream Of
progress. Producers neglected to face
the fact that In the long run they could
prosper only az the masses could buy
an expanding volume Of their goods.
This fact must be faced. We must
remove the obstacles to price reduc-
lions which now exist. wherever they
are. II IL the only way that people who
live tn small towns or on farms, or
otherwise do not work for wages. can

National cooperation in the expansion

largest possible consumption, is the
paramount necessity.

etc. 1t would not merely soak the rich"
Purchasing power can be increased
only as we learn how to produce goods
and services more efficiently and pass
the benefits Of that efficiency on to the
masses. If we devise way to make
two articles where we formerly made
one. and we pass on this gain to the
people, purchasing power is actually
created-the extra article can be sold.
Higher Wages and the Farmer
Organized labor for many years has
tried to obtain the benefits of increased
efficiency by pressure for higher wages.
When improvements in production
methods in a given plant made it pos
sible to turn out two articles at what
one had previously cost, organized
labor sought to direct the savings into
higher wages.
This gave certain groups Of workers
more purchasing power, but the effect
on farmers has not been favorable. It
has forced them to pay higher prices

MUCH current discussion of economic
AVA problems is focused too intently
on the depression to shed real light on
our fundamental difficulties. Today's
troubles obscure our view Of what
happened yesterday and what is likely
to happen tomorrow. Actually our eco
nomic structure was being undermined
BY grave maladjustments long before
the depression; in our prosperity"
years, millions of American families
were poor.
Farmers and people in the small
towns scarcely need to be told this. In
1929 and before, agriculture was not
prosperous. Farmers had to pay high
prices for the things they bought, but
got little for what they sold. They
were in depression even then-caught
between what looked like irresistible
forces and an immovable body.
There are about 81 million farmers
and people living in the small towns.
