that furnished by the modern l0W-cost
retail store. These stores are typical
of American business energy. They came
mo existence in answer to a nation
wide consumer demand for greater
efficiency and lower prces in the field
of retail distribution They remain in
business solely because they continue
to meet demand. If when they cease
to meet it some other form of enter
prise will supersede them. That is til
way at a free eccnmy and it is the
reason why a free ec0nmy must be
kept alive in this country.
A free eeonmy S the surest guar
antee of steady progress. AS long as
It exists, the lazy and unresourceful
will have tough shedding. Abuses are
promptly punished, for the very obvi
Gus cause that once they may become
Mr.. and Mrs. Consumer shift their pa
trondge to q more honest competitor.
During recent years there has
been an unprecented attack on chain
stores. Countless efforts have been
made to drive them into %1ankruptcy
through punitive taxation and regula
ton. Basically these attacks are moth
ing but attempts to grippe the present
system of a free economy. Their net
result is to restrict competition and
shelter the inefficient, to say nothing of
tending to destroy a generation of
merchandising progress. Instead of
Wiping out imaginary monopoly, punt
tive attacks on chain stores actually
foster it because anything which ham
pers the f%unctioning of a free economy
creates a condition that breeds true
monopoly. When consumers are forced
to patronize a certain type of esta-
blishment because the concern of their
preference has been wiped out by law,
what remains but a monopoly? -

USE MORE MILK!

At the request of producers, a
nationwide drive for moving huge
quantities Nof surplus dairy products
has been strated. The opening gun of
the drive sounded on June 8, and it will
run a month.
The 100000 stores cooperating in
this great voluntary effort to avert an
agricultural crisis make up a virtual
'TWho's Who" of American merchan-
dising. They include 5000 drug stores,
5000 chain stores variety stores, near
" 10000 chan stores, and $4,000 in
dependent stores. 1t is believed that
practically every community in the
United States will be reached in the
drive. According to Charles W. Hol-
man of the National Cooperative Milk
Producers Federation, Never before
has there been such a large aggrega-
ton of distributing outlets concentra-
ted upon a program of service to dairy
farmers
The figures afford ample proof Of
the need for such a campaign. In the
typical month of April, production of
the principal manufactured dairy pro
ductss was nearly Il per cent above a
year ago, and more than II per cent
above the five year average. Consump-
ton has been below normal. The result
is a constantly rising surplus which
must be disposed of by the creation Of
unusually large cd nsumer demand if
the nations dairy farmers are to be
saved ruinous losses.
The benefits from this campaign if
it is successful-and all %precendent in
the consumer producer campaigns
initiated by the chain stores two years
ago indicates that it will be-are be-
yond calulation. The desire of con
sumers to buy and use greater quaint
ties of healthful dairy products, at q
fair price will be stimulated. Increas-
ed income will go to farmers in every
state, and will be felt in higher farm
purchasing power. This will be especi-
ally beneficial to the smaller communi-
ties of the land. These are just a few
of the splendid results of retailer
cooperation with agricultural produ-
GERS.

THE POLITICAL SPONGE

On June Il, the New York stock
market had the lowest trading session
in 2 Oyears. A veriety of excuses can
be advanced for this, but you can't
laugh off the fact that the continuous
drive against American business, CAPT
tai an dearnings by v~ote-seeking poll
ticians has had its deadly effect in beat
ing industry to its knees, discouraging
he investor and raising public debt
and texes to the danger point.
Organized politics is the worst
monopoly that the consumer the lab
orer an dthe Investor face today. 1t
confiscates the savings of productive
enterprise; it destroys regular jobs for
political patronage, and it produces no
new capital-it simply absorbs like a
sponge the savings Of the nation

PROGRESS BEFORE PUNISH
MENT

Speaking from the bench Of his
traffic court recently, a New York
magistrate read a formal statement:
1--WE have reached" he said, "the peak
safety that can be accomplished by the
punishment of the motorist."
Specifically his complaints were
against certain inadequacies and in
efficiencies in the physical and tech
nical system Cor controlling today's
mamoth traffic volume-in the street
system itself, N traffic signals, signs
and other control devises, and the con
flung lack of uniformity among such
devices.
The magistrates remarks hit a
situation which is fundamental to the
whole motor traficsproAlem: The fail
ure to provide the motorist with streets
and highways made as safe as posi-
BILE, but at the same time demanding
from him an optimum of caution in
his driving. Toe%much emphasis has
been placed on the carelessness of the
driver and ontenough on the care
lessness which allows removable ply
steal hazards to remain in the street
and highway pattern.
Industry, the National Conserva-
ton Bureau reminds us, long ago this
lesson. Efforts to dragon the working
mar into avoiding accidents, 'ndustri-
al management learned, were futile I'M
til he was first provided with safe
working conditions an dequipment.

BEST FRIENDS

1t isn't fun to be thrifty wnen
you're young. It's more pleasant to
spend ten dollars for a%musements than
to put it in a bank or a life insurance
policy. When you grow old it becomes
& different story.
Tens of thousands of men now in
dire want, once had good jobs, sub
stantial incomes, and even fortunes.
They had "fun" then. They're paying
the piper now. They can look forward
to spending their declining years as
wards of public or private charitable
agencies, remembering with bitterness
what might have been.
Every man owes it to himself, to
his dependents and to the society in
which he lives to prepare for the ext
gencies of the future. Life insurance
and similar instruments Of thrift are
the best friends the average has.
The Omaha guide., 1938-07-02

er in a hazardous environment That
management recognized and acted up
on this principle is the fundamental
reason why accidents have been halved
during the past 20 years.
If the driver is given facilities
from which basic hazard has been re
moved TO the greatest possible regree,
and f he is governed by intelligent
traffic laws ntelligently enforced, the
major responsibility for traffic acct
devolves upon him. Then we shall make
real Roadway not only in bringing mo
tor traffic under control but in great
~ facilitating traffic.

SAFELY

From Washington and state CAPT
tolls come reports of government loans
for building projects. Whether these
are for large-scale housing, individual
dwellings or industry, money and
trouble will be saved n later years if
sound rules of construction are follow
ed Many a building fire has been pre-
vented while the plans were ON the
drafting board.
More important still, one sur way
to reduce the great loss Of Ife from
fire is to build safely.
In dwellings,, such features as
firestops in walls, and ceilings of ce-
ment on metal lath in cellars, serve
to retard the spread of flames. A fire
resistive roof, roper chimney c%onstruc-
ton and correct installation of heating
plants, al help to prevent fires.

STOP FIRES BY BUILDING
A BRIGHT FUTURE

One of the most encouraging al.
guries for the future Of agriculture
lies n the loyalty with which farmers
lave supported their farm cooperative
marketing associations.

EDITORIALS
GET WOOL OUT OF YOUR EYES

1t is generally agreed that healthy
heavy industry is absolutely necessary
to normal employment, normal spend
ing, normal conditions.
One of the greatest, and ordinar
ily steadiest, heavy industries is light
and power-and yet this industry has
been one of the poorest ~spenders' in
recent years. Why? Put it n n
word-government!
In the ten year period ending in
1882, investors poured an average of
$675, 100000 annually into the utility
industry. In the four years follow
ing, Investments in utilities averaged
just 33 percent of the ten year normal
or $22,7 10000! a.s5
Can it be called a coincidence that
the almost complete cessation of util
ity investment started in the year
that witnessed the inauguration of the
most vicious utility batting campaign
in American history?
To continue with the figures, had
utility investment between 1893 and
1886, inclusive, been made at the nor
NAL level the total for the four years
would have been 81, 1922 900 CO.. The to-
tai invested in that time was $91, 900,
900. This leaves an accumulated def
cit of the normal as against the actual
of $2,611, 10000. That deficit is of
course much greater now-the same
trend obtained in 1887, for which com
plete statistics T not yet available.
1t is estimated, by government au-
thority' that he indusry should spend
about $4,000 600, 900 of new money for
construction in the next five years
which would mean the creation of l,
275, 900 useful jobs. What a tremendous
potential ssourcce> of wealth, employ
ment, opportunity and purchasing
power exists here-damced up because
of a government policy of competition
and intimidation that is socially, econ
om'cally and morally indefensible, I'M
less a socialistic government is desired.
It's time the people got the political
wool out of Their eyes-and saw the
utility situation in its true PERSPECTIVE

ings it is imperative that stairways
and elevator shafts be enclosed and
Prevails be installed to separate the
various sections Of structures. This
will prevent flames spreading upward
from floor to floor or sweeping later
ally through large areas. Openings in
Prevails should be equipped with fire
doors. In order to resist flames com
ing from adjacent buildings, windows
should be wired glass in metal frames.
Probably there will always be ac-
cidental ignition fires but the horrible
toll Of human life taken by fires annu-
ally, can be curtailed to a large extent
when building are constructed proper
ly. Then occupants will have a chance
to escape before the fire spreads.
Adequate municipal building codes
help bring about safer condition. Hun
bred of such ordinances are modelled
after the Recommended Building Code

STRAIGHT THINKING ABOUT
THE RAILROADS

The Association of American Rail
roads has issued a compelling booklet
entitled straight Thinking About the
Railroads." 1t shows the seriousness of
the railroad problems today, with car
loadings running 80 per cent below last
year, and with railroad potts at the
vanishing, pont.
The booklet does more than paint
q dismal picture-it makes a number
of concrete suggestions toward solving
q problem in which every American
worker and industry has a tremendous
stake. Some of these suggestions are:
/. The rule for establishing rail
road rates should be changed TO the
extent that the Ines are guarantee
rates will bring a fair return upon in
vestment. f
2. Railroad revenues must be in
creased, especially n periods of normal
business so that the industry must
store up "some fat as a cushion against
famine"
3. Of equal importance is the ne
cessity for reducing railroad expen-
ses. Costs of operation within the con
troll of the industry have been cut tc
the bone. The next essential steps are
q reasonable reduction in wages and 8
revision of the present wasteful rules
and working conditions applicable tC
the train service crafts.
d. Pre- arranged, artificial and in
elastic plans for forcing railroads con
solicitations should be abandoned. Con
solicitations should be effected b!
agreed Of all concerned, rather thar
by legislative flat, and with careful
consideration of the rights of worker
and the welfare Of communities served
by rail.
There are many other points, bu
these are four of the most important
1t is difficult to see how they can b
Justly opposed. Wage boosts, socia
security taxes and higher materia
costs have added almost $500, 10000
a year to railway operating expense
On top of that, a request for a reason
able rate boost vas granted only Il
part, and the tremendous slump i
general business has been still anOthe
blow. Drastic action is necessary if tn
railroad industry is to keep going-an'
is to continue to provide America wit
that remarkably high and improving
standard of service we need an,
expect.

FARM COOPERATION WITH
DEPRESSION

It's in times such as the present,
with the country deep in depression,
that the agricultural marketing CO
operatives make some of their finest
contributions to the welfare of agri-
culture.
With markets timing and prices
declining, the need for business-like
cooperation in producing, handling and
selling the products of the farm be
comes steadily greater. md while
c~ooperatives cannot keep prices at de-
sired levels, or force the consumer to
use more goods than he can buy, they
can and do exert measure of control
over the problem that prevents ruin
Gus waste and loss.
1t S not an accident that the mem
bership rolls of the better coopera-
tives rise in bad times as well as good.
In many cases t takes an economic up
