REAL PROGRESS
ON THE FARM

The debate over the recently en-
acted farm bill goes on. Its sponsors
laud it as a measure which will
bring great and lasting prosperity
to agriculture. Its opponents de-
scribe it as a social and economic
crazq-quilt, unwOrkable and beyond
human understanding.
Time will tell which side is right.
In the meantime, however, without
talking about il. or making the head
lines, progressive farmers are car
rying on a sound farm aid" plan
of their own. It's not a Legislative
panacea. and il isn't supported with
taxpayers money. The reference is
to the fast growing agricultural

goes. Cure-alls are tried and dis
carded. But the marketing coop
movement moves quietly ahead.

SmybOIS of Democracy

Nowadays. when ther is so much
argument over political and econo-
mic doctrines. it's a good idea for
every citizen of a democracy to take
time out and count his blessings.
The United States. Canada and Great
Britain probably exemplify best of
all countries. the philosophy of in
dividual liberty as cOntrasted with
the regimentation of tOtalitarian
states.
II is significant to note that these
three countries also lead the rest of
the world in per capita ownership of
insurance. That's no accident. The
billions of dollars invested in life in
surance by the people of these cOun-
tries are more than symbols Of
thrift and personal independence.
They are symbols of democracy.
At the end of 1887, $4,000 900 Am
orleans. the rank and file of our pop
ulation. owned $4,000, ,OO0,O 900 worth
of life insurance. In that year alone
they invested in $4,000, 900. 900 worth
of life insurance. This is dramatic
proof of the determination of Ameri-
cans to achieve security through
thrift and self reliance.
- These life Insurance dollars are
busy as well as safe dollars which
are helping to build better Ameri-
ca. They are the financial backbone
of our business and governmental
structure. And during the depression
life insurance companies paid ont
more than $4,000. 100000 to safe
guard the security of American fam
lilies.
In 1887. life insurance companies
sent checks to policyhOlders and
beneficiaries at the rate Of S27$,oo0
an hour. over so per cent of the
50. 400. 900, 900 paid Uut during the
last year went to living pOlicyhold-
ers- a gigantic sum that proves in
controvertibly that you don't have to
die to win with life insurance.
This firm belief of 64,0OO.000 self
reliant Americans in life insurance
is in itself dramatic declaration of
independence.

no HOLIDAY FOR DEATH

| Last year accidental deaths in the
/ United States declined 4 per cent
from 1886. But there's nothing in
that to cause us to throw out our
chests -NatIEe, hot a-man. was the
cause of the drop. The mild, cool
summer. according to the National
I Safety Council. was responsible for
almost all of the decline, inasmuch
as heat deaths were 1900 below nor

In fields where man is the govern
ing factor. the death and injury to-
tai. with the exception of home acci-
dents. continued to rise. The greater
killer of all time. the automobile,
claimed per cent more victims than
it did in 1896. for total of 39,70O.
Occupational deaths climbed 6 per
cent. to 10000. The grand total OF
deaths from all accidental causes
was l06. .O00-with 375,000 persons
permanently injured and 100000. s

temporarily injured. The direct cost
of these accidents is estimated to

enough looked at that way. 1t is
infinitely worse if you regard it in
terms of human values-mutilated
bodies. widowed mothers. orphaned
children. blinded and crippled indi-
viduals. gore and carnage. And per-
haps the most sombre reflection of
all is that 30 per cent of the acci-
dents were i'm all probability easily
preventable-sO somebody was careless.
somebody was ignorant. somebody
took chance. and there was no holi-
day for death.
Will 1888 repeat this grisly toll OF
life, health and dollars? It's up to
us. all of us, to answer that ques-

POETS CORNER
FAREWELL MY NATIVE
LAND"

How oft we scorn the native soil.
Or wish to helm the breezy mast
And sail away to foreign climes,
OF coconut palms-away from icJ
blasts.
All, what fools all men do be.
Who only see green grass of dis
tant slopes,
While here at home a paradise
OF opportunity awaits their hopes,
Some men leave home to search for
gotten sands,
Or lifelong tramp the roadways of
the earth;
Ever in quest Of treasure dear.
Which later owners find beneath
their hearth.
l also the foolish one must play.
For the vise-like hand of fate
commands go
To new, unstable lands
Perhaps never again the thrill of
homeland's shores to know.
Never to know the haunts Of bygone
days,
Or to have the love of family
nigh;
Yea, only the dusty trail awaits.
And there upon some barren crag
to die.
Lord he kind to maiden heart, IL
there be one.
Who with mothers love comprise
the faithful band.
Have mercy. Lord. l go not of my
choice.
But as departing out to sea. cry.
farewell my native land"

"FinanciaI America"

Leonard p. Ayres, President
OF the Cleveland Trust Company, has
aptly described the basic cause OF
the Industrial stagnation which is
besetting the country, as financial
anemia."
This "anemic" condition of indus
try is of comparatively long stand
ing. But until last summer. heavy
government pump priming submerg-
ed the growing symptoms in a flood
Of spending.
As Mr.. Ayres observed. the capi-
talistic system requires a cOntinu-
GUS flow of new capital in order to
survive. There are two main sour
ces from which industry may obtain
new capital: One is by operating at
a profit and plowing the profits back
into the business; the other is
through the sale of securities to the
public. Today both of these sources
are chOked with excessive taxation,
labor troubles and a maze of regu-
lation. The flow of new money" in
to the channels of industrial devel-
opment has ceased. Jobs are at a
premium. The American wage ear
ner is faced with unemployment and
a falling standard of living. Once
again the Federal government is
forced to resort to futile efforts to
prime the pump"
A vicious cycle such as this cannot
continue indefinitely. It is like driv-
ing a car with a broken generator
the battery runs down
and the car stalls. The only differ
snce is that Americas industrial
is not broken-the politi-
,ians have simply disconnected il.
ind the country is slowly starving
rom what Mr.. Ayres terms "finan-
,iaI anemia."

MILESTONE OF DESTRUCTION

The annual report of the Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey
and subsidiaries for 1897 showed a
net income after all expenses and
charges, of $24,531 .606. The annual
| tax bill of the Public Service CorpOr-
alton of New Jersey and subsidiaries
for the year 1887 was in excess of
1922. .OOO. .000-almost equal to the net
income. In other words. the security
owners who have invested their saw
ings i'm this enterprise and carry all
the risks of operation. are forced to
divide the profits on a virtually So
so basis with the tax collector. In
letter to shareholders, the president
of the company. Thomas N. McCarter.
said: New heights are reached in
the seemingly ever-increasing as
sessment of taxes of various kinds
and for a multiplicity of purposes"
Despite the greatest volume of cleo
trio and gas sales in the history of
the company. net revenues were
slightly less than in 1886. Taxes
alone amounted to more than $751; 900
a day. or $42 a minute for every
minute of the year.
Here is a sample of the manner
in which the milestone of taxation
threatens TO crush all private enter
prise. It is a sample of why unem-
ployment is increasing. of why the
investor is hesitant to put forth new
capital for new undertakings. More
over. the governments program to
socialize the electric industry further
depresses general confidence in what
the future may hold for all private
industry.
Until these vital issues are cleared
up and assurance is given that the
profit system is not to he scrapped.
there can be no economic stability.
no lasting recovery.

THE SAFETY MOVEMENT GOES
FORWARD

A striking and unusual expert
ment in the interest of safety will
be undertaken at New York Univer-
sity, beginning July /. A national
center of safety education will be
established. under a special grant of
funds from the National COnserva-
ton Bureau of the Association of
Casualty and Surety Executives, and
will become part of the University's
Division of General Education.
According to announcement, the
new project. which is the first of
it's kind in this country, will provide
a comprehensive program of infOr-
nation, instruction and research in
matters connected with accident
control. AS part Of the program, a
maximum of Is research fellow
ships in safety education, with stip-
ends ranging from S40O to $1,000,
will be offered for graduate students
enrolled in the School of Education
during the 1883 academic year.
The motives underlying the new
center were explained by the Ma
tional Conservation Bureau. which
pointed out that the stock casualty
companies have been active since
1922 in the child safety education
movement. It is now felt that a ma
jor part of the promotional phase of
this movement has been completed
and that the kind of aid required by
educators has changed. Safety work
is we'll established in the nations
schools, with the result that the pri-
mary need is for persons adequately
trained to teach safe practices both
to young people and to teachers
colleges. And although the center
has been planned principally for the
education of teachers, the work will
be conducted over a wider front in
order to serve all types Of personnel
concerned with safe living!
This is a logical. necessary step
in the evolution of the directed safe
ty movement. It would seem inevit-
able that the work undertaken will
be reflected in materially reduced
accident tolls in the future. The
child who is taught proper safety
procedure by qualified instructor
becomes a safe-living adult.
