New All-Time Peak For
Business Is Envisioned

Continued from Pare One.)
When I started out to hunt job that
spring, every one was ready to give
The country back to the Indians. Yet,
four short years later business had
chalked up a new record.
1t is interesting to note that no
boom period ever stopped before the
previous highs had been broken. Why ?
Because of new industries. Just think,
in 1873 the majority of today's biggest
industries were not even known. The
first transcontinental railroad had
just been finished. The same was true
in the next boom. Many Of our biggest
industries of today were unheard OF
in 1890.
The point I want to emphasize is
that in every earlier period when it
looked as though American business
had stalled, new industries swept us
on to undreamed of heights.
Tomorrow we will again be blessed
by flood of more new industries and
myriads of new products. More pat
ents have been issued in the past ten
wears than in any previous decade in
our history. A huge demand for our
old. as well as new. products has been
built up by whole decade of sub
normal consumption. American bust
ness, within few years, can hit
highs which even the most optimistic
cannot contemplate.
TeleviSiOn a Reality.
AS an example of what | have II
mind take the recent announcement
by Radio Corporation of Americs
that television sets will go on the
market in 1889. For two hours week

AGRICULTURE OPPOSES =
TRAIN-LnTIT LAW

Agricultural America is gravely
/ concerned with the proposed law to
limit the length of freight trains TO
20 cars, which has passed the Sem
ate and is now pending in the House
A long list Of agricultural papers and
magazines have published editorials
opposing the law, pointing out that
it would make railroad operation
more dangerous rather than more
safe; and would eventually necessI-
tate general increases in freight rates
which would boost the cost of trans
porting farm products.
A typical editorial recently appear
ed in the Kentucky Farmers Home
Journal. which said in part: THE
increased cost Of operation under the
train-limit bill is conservatiyely es-
timated at S90,0OO,000. The question
arises, who will pay it? The railroads
cannot, out OF present earnings.
Freight charges will have TO be in
creased and products Of agriculture
will have to bear their full share OF
the increased cost. Any general rise
in freight rates, like rise in taxes,
must be borne by the public, and the
farmers will, as usual, find themsel-
yes paying little more than their
fair share. Let us hope that when
the train-limit bill reaches the
House of Representatives, that body |
will have the wisdom TO Kill this bill |
and not harass railroad arrangements
with higher costs than they today |
have 10 carry"
Farmers, manufacturer and other |
shippers have lately gotten a taste OF |
what It means to force higher oper-
atfng costs on our principal agency
Of transportation. Railroad labor has
long been among the highest paid in
the world this year both oper-
ating and incorporating workmen
and finally received wage
increases. The railroads were forced
to petition the ice for higher rates.
The ICC has justly allowed rate
boosts on a number of articles.
Yes the public must pay the bill.
And the public. 100 per cent, pays for
every rail rate boost-because 1t is
very doubtful if a single person
could be found in this whole nation
who is not using a commodity af-
'ected by rail traffic.

ron Can LEAD A HORSE 40
WATER

Henry J. Eustace. speaking be-
fore the Oregon State Coliage Eco
pomlc Forum recently. pointed out
that continuance Of mass produc-
tion Of agricultural products Is de-
pendent upon mass consumption Ia
the urban, Industrial areas. He ike
wise pointed out that II Western
American agriculture Is to compete
in the Eastern markets, cost Of dis
tribution must be beld down.
1t is easy enough to boost prices
sky high, through laws that nepal-
lie Iow-c0st merchandisers, legalize
prlce-fixing. and eliminate various
economical selling methods-but you
can't make 3 recaicitrant consumer
buy. When prices rise faster than
incomes, families buy fewer and
cheaper products. Consumer resis-
tance has been felt heavily at times
IN recent years, notably in the case
OF meats. During a time when meat
prices were zooming, sales fell off,
the consumer bought substitutes.
The upshot Of this Is clear-the
farmer finds his markets dwindling.
He may get little higher price
but there Is no profit In that IL his
total sales are materially cut. Today
progressive farm groups. warned by
past experience, are among the most
aggressive opponents of legislation
That penalties low-cost merchandis-
Ing systems, and pampers ineficient
methods by legal fat
they know that suchm laws hit at
he pocketbook OF every farmer in
he land-as well as every consum-
sr.
Prices should and do rise, from
natural impetus, In period of re-
,overy. The farm and manufactured
soods price level should and does
ieep pace with increases In the ma
ionai income and purchasing pow
n. But we should be continually on
aiard against measures and policies
hat reduce honest competition, and
1iden the cost spread between pro-
ueer and consumer. You can lead
horse to water but you can't make
i'm drink-and you can force prices
D by artificial means but you can't
lake a man buy.

IndiUiduqlisnl Still Best
"Isns"

Until recently the destiny of the
United States rested in the hands oi
the individual citizen. In his ambi-
tion, his initiative, his aggressive
ness, lay the forces which nodded
the character and set the tempo of
the great Industrial power which
the nation IS today. American his
tory is a startling revelation Of what
the individual can do when .unham-
pered by political strike and gov
eminent interference; for during
this long period, government au-
thorityre mained strictly in the
background. played the role of in
conspicuous umpire.
Then came 1929 and the depres-
sion. Government, the sleeping
monster. awoke with a roar, pounc-
ed upon real and imaginary abuses.
And today, whether we like it or not,
we are witnessing a definite trend
toward eollectlYism and strongly
centralized government. Unless
halted, it will mark the end of pro-
gress-industrial as well as cultur-
al.
Business and industry have the
power to meet this evil. Their power
lies in a friendly employer-empioyee
relationship. Much has already been
done in this direction. Industry. IS
steadily working toward shorter
hours, better pay and better work
ing conditions. In fact, IL is work
ing for more. even, than these.
For example, at recent annual
meeting of the National Association
Of Food Chains. the entire chain
store industry struck at the heart OF
the problem. r. w. Doe, vice pres
ident OF Safeway Stores, pointed out
that the employee wants respect for
HE personality and understanding Of
what his job means; that he wants (
an opportunity to grow. to see a fu-
ture where he can become more val
liable to his employer and more |
useful to his family and to himself, |
In short. II each employee In the
nation occupies a responsible rlche |
in the community, he will not cas-
ily suecumb to the oily arguments
of any form Of collectiyisn that
brushes individual freedom.

TAX-BOOSTED PRICES
HURT FARMER

Writing In the American Agricul-
turists. ]. c. Hotter Of the Coopera-
tive G. l.. F. Egg Marketing Service,
inc. discusses chain store taxes
from the standpoint Of the farmer.
he believes that the farmer Il best
served when consumption OF his
product Is greater, and that, ~ order
to Induce greater consumption,
nfices must bA reasonable. From
this. he concludes that anything
which viii add to the cost OF the
chain store system of distribution,
Win raise The cost OF eggs to the
nublic, resulting IN lower egg con-
sumption and less return 20 the pro-
tucer-a fact which is Of course true
OF any other product or crop.
He then says: Il think the pro-
ducers in those states which have
not yet enacted such (chain store)
taxes. should think long and hard
on this question. II such a tax pro-
posed, the farmer should see that his
views are heard and his interests
protected. In the states that have
already enacted such legislation, the
farmer could well agitate for its
repeal.
u hold no particular brief for the
stockholders in large chain store
But l do feel that they
are economical merchandisers Of
food and I'm sure that adding 70
their costs takes something out. OF
farmers pockets
Farmers throughout the country
have discovered the merits OF the
chain store distributive system, as
by the special produ-
cer-consumer campaigns carried on
by the chains to move surplus sup
plies OF various farm goods. These Z
campaigns have saved producers mil
ions of dollars, have stabilized mar
Sets, and have opened up new con
,uming channels. II laws are passed
which force chains to boost their
lriees, the most aggressive campaign
n the world could not attract buy
RS 10 the same extent-the consumer
would buy fewer and cheaper goods.
Mr.. Hunter gives the advice of a
ar-seeing. practical farmer. Ameri-
an. agriculture cannot escape the
dyerse effects Of taxes and laws
hat artifically initiate retail prices.

Inadequate Earnings
Threaten Railroads

The Transportation Act, which IS
the basic document governing the
regulation of the American rail-
roads, states that the lines should be
permitted to charge rates high
enough to yield them sufficient reye-
nue., over and above their operating
costs, to insure their ability to pro-
vide efficient and adequate service,
and to earn a reasonable return on
their Investment.
This reasonable return has been
fixed at only 5A per cent. Yet the
railroad industry, as a whole, has
not earned that profit any year since
the war. In a number of years
even in the pre-'29 days-earnings
hoyered around the completely in
adequate per cent level.
Worse yet, so far as the public Is
concerned, railroad revenues-in
spite of the remarkable economies
achieved in operation, which have
entirely banished waste from the in
dustry-are not large enough TO as
sure their continued ability to pro-
vide the public with the best pos
sihle service.
Since the low point of the depres-
sion in 1882, railroad traffic has ma
terially increased, along with the
gradual improvement of business IN
general Yet the lines have not been
able to improve their financial CON
dition. The reason for that is sim
pie: The increases in traffic have
been Offset by major increases in
the cost OF operation. resulting from
higher material and supply prices,
higher rates of pay for all classes
OF railroad labor.
These facts must be known il the
lines application for Is per cent
increase in rates is to be seen in
true perspective. The Increase /
which is moderate, in view Of the
general rise in prices-is absolute
1y essential If our basic medium Of /
transportation is to progress and !
serve the public we'll. Economists
believe higher rail rates, which /
would be Immediately reflected in
greater railroad spending, would
stimulate business as a whole
