THREE MILLION EMPLOYEES

Existing in the United States today are more
than 175,OO0 governmental units, each of which
has Its own payroll and each of which possesses
the power to levy taxes to pay it's employees. And
all these many layers of government have grown
to such an extent that there are now more than
three million individuals regularly employed in full
time public service. That is the most outstanding
fact in report prepared for the recent Interna-
tionai management Congress- held in Washington
by Leonard D. White, former member of the U. S.
civil Service Commission.
Inc more than. three million persons whose sala-
RES are paid by the taxpayers include federal
state, county, and municipal employees. The fed
eral payroll alone includes nearly S25,000 persons
exclusive, of course, Of relief workers. New
York Citys payroll contains $4,000 names. The
State of New Jersey has about 10000 regular per-
manent employees, and as the report says, that is
small number by comparison with the payrolls of
other states 1t is indeed 1T is small number by
comparison with the official payroll of Texas, for

WTASHINGTON-The proposed
w two-price system for farm
products, although no specific
plan has yet been advanced
to bring crop surpluses within the
reach of poverty-ridden consum-
ers, already is drawing the fire of
national organizations of grocers
and other retailers.
Reactions of these groups in
clude outright hostility, fear for
the present economic system, SYM
pathetic skepticism, Bronx cheers
and plain boredom.
Although powerful lobbyists for
chain stores, independent stores,
department stores and other retail
outlets often fight among them
selves, this is one time when they
appear to be unanimous-in lack
of enthusiasm. Some prefer to re-
serve judgment pending specific
proposals. The others say, in gen.
eral, that the scherne is prepos-
ferrous. Closely in touch with
some of the top men in AAA now
wrestling with the problem, some
are confident that the reaction of
retailers to the idea already has
doomed it. s,a

! couldn't endure because the high.
er price level would soon descend
to the other, says Executive Vice
President John A. Logan of the
National Association of Food
Chains.
"The American people just
aren't that magnanimous," Logan
asserts. "When one price level
sought the other a huge number
of grocers would be ruined. A
program of government food sale
would automatically slow up dis
tribution through the regular trade
channels. Merchants and whole
salerS could make no commitments
until they knew what price levels
would be and what they could sell
at. The buyers for the top two
thirds would slow up and farmers
would be worse off than before"
Hector Lazo, executive vice
president of the Cooperative Food
Distributors of America, says "the
whole scheme is fantastic from
several standpoints." He also in
siSts maintenance of a two-price
policy is impossible. Even with
Identification cards, Lazo believes,
there would be bootlegging.
although "anxious not to form
any hasty judgment" General
Manager Lew Hahn of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Associa-
ton thinks it "seems inevitable
that any two-price system would
eventually become a one-price
system with all prices descending
to the lower level. knowledge
that a large segment of the pop
ulation need not pay prevailing
prices would tend steadily to cause
other consumers to resent the
higher prices they had to pay,
Hahn said.
Grocer representatives admit
they have no quick answer to the
problem of farm surpluSes and un-
dernourished families. Lazc saws
families with $1,000 or less income
(more than half the urban fam
lilies average less) don't get
enough to put in their bellies"
and that terrific social danger"
exists. He thinks perhaps the
eventual solution may lie in con-
sumer co-operatives.

THAT HUNGRY SOIL: The
average garden in Hendersonville
is very hungry for that pile of
leaves the trash man hauled off or
that you burned. If decomposed
this winter, they would make val
liable humus in the garden next
summer. Rake the leaves when
they are wet, pile them in an OBJ
scure corner of the garden and
let them decay. If raked while
they are dry, wet the leaves.
Boards, brush OF a little dirt will
keep them from blowing away.
The decaying process may be
hastened by mixing 20 pounds of
dry leaves, or about 40 pounds if
wet. with one pound of a mixture
of five pounds of ammonium sud
phate, four pounds of ground
limestone and two pounds of su-
perphosphate. Nitrate of soda may
be used for the ammonium. This
mixture will be decayed enough to
use next summer to fine advan-
tage, fertilixing the soil and keep
ing it open and moist in dry
weather.

To Be BrOadened

WASHINGTON, April 29. tUP)
President Roosevelt today pro-
posed a broadening of Social Secur-

start of old age insurance payments
before 1912 as now scheduled
President Roosevelt outlined his
views in a letter to Chairman Ar
thur L. Altmeyer of the Social Sc
curity board in which he urged
the board to consider methods of
strengthening and making more ef-
fective the present act.
The president suggested drafting
a sound plan to liberalize the old
age pension system in order to
make payments possible earlier than
1912. as now provided and provide
payment of large benefits to the
aged, to aged wives and widows and
to children of persons who die
before reaching pension age.
