SINGLE TAX WOULDN'T
ABOLISH MORTGAGES

A reader, Mr.. N d. Alper, executive
secretary of the Tax Relief Association
of California, in letter printed yester-
day in the column adjoining this, takes
exception to recent editorial remarhng
that the single tax proposed on the NO
vember ballot would make farming
very unattractive calling because land
would bear all taxation under the plan
We pointed out in the editorial that
MANY who are now farmers would, III
event the single tax was adopted, turn
to some other form of business where
their efforts were entirely taN-free:
We asked the question, who Will be
left to farm if the single tax is enacted!
Mr.. Alper attempts to answer by decIar-
ing the farmers will be dirt farmers.
working farmers, family sized farmers:
Farmers who can own their own farms
Rut he does not tell us how they will
be able to remain farmers who own their
own land. He points out that farm ten
ancy is on the increase, and that farm
mortgages place heavy burden on agrl-
culture We are willing to admit the
truth of these contentious. But we cam
not see how, under the single tax pro-
posal, the farmer can keep from incur
ing even heavier mortgages. The single
tax is not going to make it unnecessary
for the farmer to borrow money. If any
thing, it will make it necessary for him
to borrow even more money-and there
will be less chance that he will be able
to get it.
1t is true, probably, that few financial
institutions would care to take farm
mortgage if the single tax were in effect,
but that would not guarantee the farmer
permanency in his ownership of the land.
1t would, rather, make it bit more sure
that he will lose ownership faster than
he might otherwise. In other words, the
farmer would not be able to pay the
hugely increased taxes the single tax
would impose upon his land-and he
could not borrow money to pay them.
The natural result would be his total
loss.
We remain firm in the belief that the
actual goal of those who propose the sim
gle tax, under the guise of sales tax
repeal, is state ownership of all land in
California And, even though that were
not their intention, it is the thing that
would come about if the proposal were
approved.

nance,
Because these alliances were pos
siblc. these men were genuine men,
aces, not so much for themselves
rs for the things they stood for.
They operated with the conniv-
ance OF officials Storm to enforce
the law. They supplied the public
with divers commodities and serv-
ices which the public had made
illegal. but nevertheless wanted.
They were the byproducts of very
bad political system. Their mere
existence indicted our whole scheme
of big city society.
There was no lodging from pillar
to post for them-no frantic at
tempts to leave town via blind bag
gage. no stumbling down alleys to
elude the police. They numbered
big-shot politicians among their
friends. came and went openly, and
never had to run from anybody but
business rivals.
We always have had our Floyd
Hamiltons, and alway will. They
aren't important. The time to worry
is when we start producing big
city gangsters instead of small-time
bad men.

a million dollars year advertising
his product, and yet he requested
me not to mention his name IL this
column or on the air. Why does he
object? He said people were inter-
ested only in his equipment and
what it would do for them. No one,
he said. was interested in him per-
sonally or his story.
With this l can't agree. Every
one is interested in the qualities
that make for success, and all are'
doubly interested in the character
and integrity of the men and Wom-
en- who have made America what
it is. These men are an inspiration
to all of us to make the most OF
our lives and provide 70; our old
age.
Thirty years ago, this mans IA
ther tanned hides and made horse
collars and saddles. One OF his
neighbors, an eccentric genius, in
vented a labor saving device for
women in the home. The device
eventually was sold to the father
of the man 1 am writing about.
There seemed little hope for mar
keting it in a big way, though 1t
might form the basis of a good
living. But the son threw himself
into the business heart ana soul.
That was back in 1907 Help was
scarce in the home. Labor-saVing
devices were needed. Hundreds OF
thousands of women bought the
product and today this modest man
counts his wealth in millions.
When you have something
worthwhile to sell, there's always
a way to sell it. My friend Percy
Whiting told me story the other
day of a bond statesmen who had
tried without success to sell a farm
er some good securities. The farm
er, it seemed, believed only in
boarding his money. One day on a
periodical visit, the salesman found
the farmer out on the lot overlook
ing some new acquisitions to his
barnyard. A bright idea occurred
to the salesman: he eomplimented
the farmer on the new cows, and
the farmer told him what they had
cost. The salesman took out his
notebook and figured for mo-
ment. How would you like to add
a new COW every year without any
thought of the cost?" he asked.
Naturally, the farmer was interest
ed. Then the salesman showed his
figures. The annual interest on the
bonds ne was trying TO sell to the
farmer would amount TO just
enough to buy cow every year.
The farmer bought the bonds.
A bit of honest showmanship in
business often consummates a deal
that once seemed hopeless. But it
must be honest. Attempt no trick
cry. Remember you've got to face
your customer when you deliver
his goods to him,

new SLANT UPON
HOLDING UP PRICES
Riverside PreSS)

(Riversde PreSS)
An officer of large builders eX-
change, writing in a trade magazine and
urging people in that branch of the trade
to keep their prices up, says:
"There is only SO much business to be
had, and by price-cutting you may get
a job away from your competitor; but
if you do, you will probably regret it in
the end" He urges people to stick to
their prices.
Is he right? People taking broader
view may say no. 1t is not true that
there is only so much business to be
had" For business is determined by de-
mand, and demand is determined largely
by price. One of the simplest truths of
modern industry, in a free business sys-
tenn, is that lowering prices stimulates
demand and makes more business so
that often an industry makes bigger
profits at the reduced rates, and every
body benefits.
1t seems especially unfortunate to urge
the preservation of rigid prices in the
building industry, which is greatly in
need of stimulation, when so many sane
thinkers insist that it needs the stimulus
of lower prices.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-08-31
WHAT PRICE
DISHONESTY?

A bank clerk in northern California
last year embezzled $4,000. He spent it
all in one year of riotous living. In court
he said he was ready to take his punish
ment Now he is serving the first of two
four-year sentences in prison. For one
year of wealthy living, the former bank
clerk will spend eight years with bare
walled cell his living room, e great, con-
vict-crowded mess hall his dining room,
and the walls of closely guarded prison
yard his horizon.
A young man now, the embezzler will
be in middle age when he steps from
prison again, free man. He will begin
life where he started at first. If he is
to win to any high position, he must
prove himself doubly because of his one
error. His lot will be the distrust of his
fellow men until he has proved that he
deserves something else.
For one year of riches, that man has
thrown away eight years of his life, and
perhaps a lot more. For eight years he
will be shut away from society. For many
years after that, he will pay the price of
his criminal act.
And, as the years go by, the former
bank teller will probably decide, as
others have, that "crime does not pay"
