CAPITAL CONSUMPTION

Outstanding characteristic of the
United States government. and the country
at large, is the growing tendency to live in
the present and ignore tomorrow.
For nearly ten years the Federal gov
eminent has spent 50 for every 81 received
in revenue. Expenditures are climbing
steadily.
In the name of social security, the gov
eminent taxes the pay envelopes of wage
earners, then Immediately expends the
funds thus derived for present needs of gov
eminent itself-instead of holding them in
trust for the future needs of the nations
workers The future is left stoshift for itself
And then there are the heavy inheri-
tance taxes that have become so drastic
that they are gradually drying UP a valu-
able source OF government income; the
same is true of the excess profits tax which
destroys corporate savings, curtails needed
expansion; and the capital gains tax, which
again destroys rather than conserves capt.
tai
The list of such policies could be con-
tinued indefinitely. They pervade nearly
every department of government activity,
crop loans, housing loans.- ETC. t4is what
the economists call ''capital consumption
And as thesNew Fork Tines psihfs put:
Liberal economists hold that progressive
capital formation IS the dhief way by vhich
the position of the greatness of 1&6rk-
ers can be permanently improved. Capital
consumption is the reverse of this process
Capital consumption leads directly to
chaos, misery for all.

WHATS AHEAD

Records of the United States Patent
Office in Washington reveal that the num-
Der of patents issued yearly is steadily in
creasing. This has been particularly true
in recent years as new industrial labora-
tories have been developed and the search
for wliving conveniences has been stimu-
lated
The question brought to mind is: what
social effects will come from inventions in
future years, considering the changes re-
,sulting from past industrial inventions, such
as the telephone, the automobile. the air
plane. the motion picture, rayon and the
radio? These six major industries were de-
veloped during the first third of the cur
rent century.
Scientists say we have just begun to
scratch the surface in the matter of new
industrial fields. Imagine, then, the future
