History Offers Lessons

AS a spokesman for independent
retail merchandising recently obser-
we'd, almost every attempt to tax
the chains out of business has re-
suited in, additional taxes being
placed upon the independent grocer
In; at least one state, the authorities
construed a so-called "chain store
tax law" to cover independt grocers
who banded together to effect GER
tain economies in operation.
History Is hard teacher. And
history shows that whenever one
group attempts to penalize another
group in order to gain supposed benz
efits, trouble follows.
1T is an encouraging fact that lev
el-headed representatives of inde-
pendent merchandising In this coun-
try, are opposed to attempts to ex-
eessivelys regulate or punitively tax
any kind of stores. In the case of
the grocery industry, as one OF
these Representatives has said. there
Is but one sound and practical way
for them to put the chain stores out
of business-that is to out-merchan-
disc them. IL an independent store
offers better products at lower pri-
ees. or more appealing service, or
more attractive displays and adver-
tising, .he chain store next door will
soon have a "for rent" sign on its
door.
Both chains. and independents in
America are following similar
trends. Through buying associations,
they are cutting costs. They are us
ing group newspaper and handbill
advertising. They are both taking |
advantage of every new innovation |
in equipment and technique. They |
are on their toes to outdo competi-
tors in pleasing the public, The re-
suit: Both types of stores, as a
whole, are prospering and growing
and the consumer. who is by far
the most important element In the
picture. reaps the benefits of honest

SIGNS OF THE TINES

i Just as the proud United States
was beginning to brag about its
complete recovery from the depres-
sion q lot of business charts began
/ to do down; and when the small in
| yestors thought the time had finally
arrived for them to make their
''ciean up" In stocks the market
started on a new series of tail-spins.
After that there was widespread
worrying about securities that in
cluded railroads and ships, and
many other industries. At the pres
| emf time hope seems to climb be-
cause Congress had been convened
in special session. The "key men"
OF the Senate and House are Sen
ator Harrison. chairman of the FL
nance Committee and Representa-
tive Doughton, chairman or Ways
and Means, and both of them have
said they favor revised tax sys-
tenn which will encourage industry.
That undoubtedly voices the gener-
al opinions of Congress on this i'm
portant subject. Whatever the law
makers do about taxation, housing,
crop control, wages and hours, re-
organization and other matters will
have no immediate effect since it
will take many weeks, perhaps
months, to develop the new national
plans.
Jesse II. Jones Is chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, and about the most level-head-
ed man in Washington-at least
that's what Washington. thinks
about him. He doesn't think the
country is going to the dogs or that
there is anything to worry about in
the present recession" He believes
that the automotiye industry will |
have one of the biggest and most |
successful years in its history in i

statistics show that retail trade

The per capita fire loss In the TO-
000-50,000 classification is s1.49, as
against s1.36 in over-500.000 group.
While statistics are not available
for communities of less than 10000
population It is a logical supposi-
tion that both the number of fires
per 1000 people and the per capita
less are materially higher.
Fire waste is a grave problem to
all the country-and It is more than

NOT TODAY

In one of his recent columns, Paul
Mallon, the we'll known Washington
commentator, recounts an interesting
incident concerning the hearing re-
Gently held by the House Rivers and
Harbors Committee on the bill to
create seven little Twas" around
the country. At the hearing. no word
was heard from the Army engineers
the experts whose advice Is usually
first sought on proposals involving
navigation, food control, electric de-
velopments, etc, The reason, accord
ing to Mr.. Mallon. is this: BY Execu-
tive order, all government depart
ments are forced to air their views
through the Budget Bureau. The en-
gineers made their reports to this
bureau--and 1t was an unfavorable
report, in which they brought out
number OF important objections to
the plan. And the report was lost.
1t never reached Congress.
The engineers main objection, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Mallon, was that the
creation of seven regional Twas
would create seven different regional
policies. II would destroy the ma
tionaI standard and create seven new
Certainly this is vital
and one which would have
been listened to with respect by
Congress the Budget Bureau |
passed the report on.
Here is another illustration of the
way politics handles issues affecting
the pocketbook. the opportunities
and the future of every citizen
and of the way politics attempts to
,tife any point of view. even from
he highest and most authoritative
sources. which opposes its aims. In
he past, the Army engineers have
nvariably been consulted on all
involving matters such as
re covered in the little iva" bill.
