BUILT ON SOUND PRINCIPLES

Not so many years ago agricul-
tural producer cooperatives were in
their infancy. so far as any wide
spread influence was concerned.
They were eyed with suspicion. and
1t was believed in many quarters
that their chance for success was
slight
Today producer cooperatives.
which dispose of agricultural crops
at wholesale to established distribu-
tors and retailers. are an essential
part of the agricultural world. They
are almost universally approved by
farmers, consumers industry and
government.
Reason for their growth and their
rise in popular esteem is simple
one. They have been built on sound
business principles. They continue
to operate in a business-like man
ner, with capable executives. care
full cost accounting, and without
asking subsidies or special favOrs.
The cooperatives which have not
kept business principles in mind
have failed-a failure which was
foredoomed from their inception. The
sound cooperatives have gone ahead.
until today millions of farmers are
represented on their ever-growing
membership rolls.

HAMSTRINGING THE RAILWAYS

"The people of this country should
understand what is involved in the

the length of railway trains to sew
enty cars. :" says the Indian
apolis Star. May :. 1887. THE bill is
urged ON the representation that 1t
is a safety measure, although two
Federal courts have ruled that 1t is
not.
Nevada and Arizona enacted laws
to limit trains to seventy cars. The
excuse in both cases was that such
a regulation would tend to prevent
accidents The court. in the Nevada
case. said: The frequency of train
ard train service accidents is di-
rectly related to the number of train
units operated and when more train
units are run than are necessary TO
handle a given amount of traffic the
hazard of accident in handling sucn
traffic is correspondingly increas-

THE TIMID DOLLAR

Charles R. Gay. President of the
New York Stock Exchange. recently
said:
1.-The government is, or should be,
of the people, by the people. for the
people To me this means just one
thing-all the people. If government,
through legislation, favors one class
as against another. vicious circle
is created around which class pur-
sues class in an effort to secure sell
fish advantage For the worker 1t
must create means to guarantee the
right to work. the right of the indi-
vidual to work out his own distiny.
To the business man it must guar
antee freedom. subject to consider
ate and just regulation. to continue
to make his contribution to the up
building of the country. the mainte-
nance of that high standard of liv-
ins which has been our pride, and to
realize adequate profits.
"To capital it must guarantee the
risht to seek employment in pro-
ductive enterprise subject to fair
taxation but not confiscation. Capt.
tai is timid: it is elusive. Represent /
ing the savings laid up against the
rainy day. it may not take undue !
risks. and if through too great tax
alton the game is not worth the |
candle capital will disappear into
hiding and thus restrict the produc- /
tive efforts of business and worker"
The most dismaying development (
of recent year has been the promo
tion of class feeling and class ba-
tired. which has found its reflection I
in dangerous and malicious class /
legislation. Should this feeling
spread far enough, democracy would
be doomed. Private enterprise would
be doomed. And the United States,
as we know it, would be doomed.
Fair laws, fair taxes. the mainte-
nance of individual rights-these
are the proper concerns of govern
ment. They are essential to the
maintenance of our traditions and
our institutions. If we take any
other course. the worker, no less
than the employer and industry, will
face a black future.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR
UNFRAMED WORKERS

It is a favorite sport for some
critics of the established order to
periodically decry the wages paid
employees by chain stores and limited
price variety stores. and to describe
these retailers as sweat shop Oper-
ators.
Fortunately for the ultimate effect
of this criticism. the actual figures
tell a different story. For the last
year for which complete statistics
are available. a severe depression

ers slightly more than independent
stores. And in 1929, boom year.
both types of stores paid, on the
average. about the saDe.
The authority for this statement
can hardly be classed as prejudiced
it is the United States Department
of Commerce.
In addition. it should not be for
gotten that chain stores provide
training ground for young people
with a high school education but not
specialized business training. They
are thus fitted for positions in de-
partment stores or specially shops
where high degree of skill or ex-
perience is required, or for promo
tion in the chain store business it.

FRIENDS OF THE CONSUMER

1t is highly encouraging sign to
see a substantial mobilizing of CON
sumers' spokesmen" in opposition to
laws which would exploit the hap
less consumer.
This has been especially notice
able in the opposition to the Tyd-
ings-Miller price fixing bill-an op-
position which the President recent
ly Joined in advising against its
passage. This bill would, in effect.
make the consumer the prey of any
manufacturer of commodity in in
terstate commerce who wanted to
establish an excessive profit margin
not only for himself but for retail
ers. The consumer would have no
recourse. He would have to pay a
fixed. non-competitive price, or go
without.
Opposition to this and similar
measures is curiously mixed. Liberal
and radical publications and groups.
thinking of the poor mans budget
problem, speak against it. And so do
conservative business publications
and groups which attack the prob
lem from the standpoint of the man
ufacturer and retailer. They realize
that the law might very we'll lead to
consumer rebellian which would
eventually destroy our present sys-
TEN of commodity production and
distribution, and replace it with an-
other system such as consumer CO.
operatives.
The Robinson-P Patman Act. passed
last session. contained a number OF
clauses which. by forbidding trade
practices that reduced overhead
costs. hit straight at the consumers
pocketbook. This is probably reflect
ed in the higher cost Of living now
The current proposed law would go
a step farther. and might very well
add billions to our food. clothing,
drug. furniture and other bills.
Growing opposition TO the bill. ac-
cording to experts. makes its chance
of passage highly doubtful.

RURAL FIRE LOSS HIGH

According to, Managing Director
Franklin H. Wentworth OF the Ma
tional Fire Protection Association,
one of the most serious phases OF the
fire problem is the continued high
aggregate OF losses In rural and
small town districts. e
Various causes are put forward
| for these losses, and intensive work
is being done by stock FIRE insurance
companies. various fire prevention
organizations, and the U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce in seeking to re-
duce them. II is pointed out. for ex-
ample. that there has been a pheno-
menal spread in the use of electri-
city in farming districts, and this
has brought with II a need for an
electrical inspection routine to
achieve the results regular inspec-
tion achieves In cities. A model state
law covering inspections is now be-
ing framed, and should be adopted
by all states.
Carelessness with smoking mate
rials is naturally one of the worst
country hazards. Little can be done
to reduce the damage caused. unless
the individual smoker firmly real
izes his esponsibility-and also |
realizes that it is in his own inter-
est to be unremittingly careful. Too |
much effort cannot be given to cor
recting this evil.
An interesting experiment in an
other field is being conducted by
group of middle western stock fire
insurance companies. These con-
Germs are offering reduced rates on
farm property where there is To-
cal water supply. telephone and a
rural fire department adequately or
and equipped.
All of this work is gradually bear
ing fruit And in the meantime. far
mers and rural dwellers should
make personal fire prevention" an
goal. Country fires get
out of hand far more easily than
city fires.T heir menace to property
and life is greater. And the finest
campaign to reduce losses ever plan
ned by experts. will be useless un-
ess every individual takes an inter-
,st and does his part.
