Celebrating The Beauties
Of Fall

Pennsylvania Poeono mountains
are a sort of oasis in the desert of
national worries and troubles. In
summertime the Poconos are vaca-
tion-lands, and as the Fall is usher
din there are Autumn festivals and
a great annual flaming foliage BALI
at the Buck Hill Falls Inn. Mean
while golf tournaments go right on,
together with bowling on the green
and other popular diversions. But
they don't quit even there in the Po-
conos as 1t shines in winter sports,
such as formerly were known only
in the northern mountains.
All this region owes its growth
and popularity to the Quakers who
started the development of the beau
tiful Pennsylvania hills many years
ago, and according to their princi-
pies never LAID down on the job,

TOO MUCH WHEAT
AND COTTON

The United States has on hand a
surplus of 100 million bushels of
wheat, and Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace has been negotiating with
Canada, as well as collaborating
with Secretary Hull concerning,
whats to be done about it," The
Canadian trade treaty stands in the
way of our agricultural plan to sub
sidize a wheat export program to
get rid of the cOuntry's towering
surplus of wheat. Canada is already
carrying out dumping program is
which it guarantees its farmers 80
cents a bushel on the 1888 crop.
Secretary Wallace is seeking coop
Grafton with Canada in this matter,
in order, he says, to preserve the in
terests of both countries.
The Department of Agriculture
has a terrific problem on hand, and
it is moving heaven and earth to
sustain the program for an Ever
Normal Granary.
Cotton is also involved in our ma
tional difficulties since the market
price has dropped below S.25 cents
pound set in the farm act, which
makes cotton loans by the Govern
ment mandatory. Presumably wheat
and cotton loans will be about so
per cent of parity.
The Government already has
about z millions bales of loan cotton
on its hands.

Travel Comfort And
Public Health

Public health has become a ma
tiopal concern. Public and private
agencies throughout the country
have taken up the cause of health
and are actively engaged in further
ing it. Outstanding in private in
dGstry are TexacO Dealers from
coast to coast who have Joined in
the Registered Rest Room Cam
paign. They are providing a service
now expected of all gasoline dealers
but they are maintaining a standard
that is enlightened and that is win
ming the approval of public health
officials in every state and county.
State and local health laws and
ordinances have been in effect for
many years, but it is only with the
help of those for whom they are
made can they be enforced. Then
Texaco Dealers set up standards
which in many cases are those of
states and counties. there is assur-
ance that the law is being enforced,
When inspectors are chosen, as the
members of the White Patrol are,
for their knowledge of and ability to
handle sanitation problems, a corps
of men trained in the public inter-
est are working in agreement with
those who are enforcing the law.
The Texaco Dealer Registered
Rest Room Campaign was started
not because rest rooms are the re-
sponsibility of the dealers, but be-
cause it is a service they have I'M
dertaken to supply. AS long as rest
room facilities are being made
available, it was the feeling of Tex
AGO Dealers that they should con-
form with a standard which met the
approval of Public Health officials. |
Discussions and conferences follow
ed by field work to determine the
practically of standards discussed,
finally determined the choice.

NO MAGIC IN GOVERN
MENT OWNERSHIP

Walter Il. May of the Portland
General Electric Company Of Port
land, Ore, recently pointed out
something that should be self-evident
to all. when he said: There is no
magic in governmental construction
or operation of electric resources
that will produce power for industry
or small consumers cheaper than
comparable power can be produced
by private enterprise. Private en-
terprise for fifty years has provided
increasingly more dependable cleo
trio power at progressively lower
costs and during that time the
government has neither financed nor
subsidized the research and labora-
tory work that accompanied the
growth of this public service now so
intimately identified with the pro-
gress of America. In other words,
private enterprise has, without gov
ernment aid, heretofore brought the
electric utility to its high estate as a
nearly universal public service, at a
cost within reach of nearly all.
Electric power is one of the cheap
est commodities in this modern
world"
There are several things. however,
that government can do in the cleo
trical field that the law denies to pri-
vate enterprise. 1t can take the
money of all the people to build
power plants to serve a limited area
as it has done in the Southeast,
the Middlewest and the Pacific
Northwest. It can declare these i'm
mensely expensive projects tax free
thus depriving states, counties and
municipalities of the millions in tax
es that would be paid by private utili-
ties of comparable size. 1t can pro-
vide certain services free, such as
the mail Thanking privilege, which
private business must pay for. And,
finally, it can charge of much OF the
cost of power development to flood
control, navigation, irrigation, ETC.,
thus making it next to impossible to
discover the true cost of government
electric power.
Think of this next time you hear
of cheap government power" 1t is
"cheap" because tax money Is used
to substitute it, and because it enjoys
immunity from the tax collector who
takes about Is per cent of every dol
lar received by private utilities. Gov
eminent could sell cheap" insurance
or cheap" groceries or cheap"
clothing on the same basis. 1t isn't
hard to sell things cheap or give
them away when you can mortgage |
the resources of nation or attach"
the public pocketbook to raise money |
or pay losses.
