OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH

One phase of chain store develop
ment that deserves more attention
than it has received is the influence of
these modern low cost merchandisers
on employment.
According to an Institute of Dis
tribution survey, the chain stores of
the nation employ 100000 local men
and woman scattered throughout al
the states. This army of workers have
steady jobs, a high standard of living
and a rate of pay tending higher than
the retail average. And, of equal i'm
portance, the chains offer the intelf-
gent, ambitious worker, excellent op-
portunities for advancement.
Of the 537 executives of n large
chain system, according to a study
presented to a New York University
Conference on Business Education,
531 started in as clerks. And almost
every large chain is stated by execu-
tives of whom the great bulk began in
lowly positions. Practically all of the
chains have definite programs to ex-
pedite their employees advancement.
Free course are offered, and special
training given to ambitious young mel
and women.
The chains offer a definite oppor-
tunity to young people lacking special
training, who could not possibly find
a job in those many industries which
require specialized education and apti-
tudes. The unframed worker can learn
as he goes-and he can go as far as
his abilities and ambitions direct.
Practically all the chains, ever the
largest began as single unit indepen-
dent stores, owned and operated by
men with ideas and the burning urge
to get ahead. Today some little store
owner you never heard of is planning
and dreaming and working-and is
laying groundwork for a prosperous
multiple unit distribution system of
the future. The chains are simply an
example of what can stem from hon.
est open competitive business. They
are the result of opportunity under
u American system-and, in return
they offer splendid opportunity to
young people who are today starting
business careers.

War Against the Little Fellow

0A SAAbo
The politicians don't call it social
ism-but a politically originated pro-
gram now in effect can be honestly
described only as state socialism on a
gigantic scale.
This is the federal state power pro-
gram. Few of us yet realize its poten-
tialities. We Know something about the
IVA and Bonneville and Grand Cou-
lee dams. What we don't know is that
a host of other, smaller projects, either
completed, under construction or IN
the planning stage, will literally blan-
ket the country with tax subsidized,
politically managed power plans and
transmission systems in the next five
years.
Washington, Oregon, California,
Nebraska, Wyoming, Texas, Tonnes
see, Alabama-these are but a few of
the states which are being blessed
with socialized power, at the expense
of private savings, private investment,
private opportunity, and private en-
ployment. In every case, the areas have
been long and adequately served, at
reasonable cost, by heavily taxed, state
regulated private systems. In every
case where POSSIBLE deficiencies of
power existed, the private companies
were prepared to expand to make up
for them-given assurance that they
would be allowed to stay in business.
In every case, all the taxpayers of the
country have been taxed to pay for
the unnecessary government projects
and the total bill of the projects
planned runs past the $2,000,000,0 900
point.
Furthermore, the power socialists
aren't satisfied. They frankly want
to destroy or absorb the entire private
industry. Very recently rumors have
been heard of a new political war
against the utilities. And what that
amounts to is a war against the tax
payers who pay the bills; against the
armies of workers with good jobs in
the private companies; against the tens
of thousands of people of small means
who own utility securities, bought out
of savings; against a tremendous num-
Der of businesses, little and big, from
which utilities buy, and which share
directly or indirectly in utility spend
ing. It's a war primarily against the
"little fellow"
Such a program is insidious. It
grows without our knowing it. And
it leads us inexorably toward that to-
ta~litarianism the very politicians who
are today promoting socialism in this
country, profess to detest. The people
of this country have long been asleep
and the future of democracy will be
dark indeed if they don't awaken soon.

Trains Without Tracks

A train without track would be as
useless as the truck that completes with
it without the modern highway.
Of everything that goes to make up
railway, tracks and roadbeds are the most
costly. Similarly, the investment in high
ways and streets is greater than the in
vestment in the vehicles that use them.
The railroads provide and main
tain their oWn ''roadwayso. Less
than one-tenth of the nations railroad
mileage was built with the aid of land
grants, and the full value of these has
since beenrepaid many times over through
low ''land grant rates" on government
business. The roadway expense of the
railways takes nearly one-fourth of
every dollar they take in.
Besides providing and maintaining
their own 'roadways", the railways pay
taxes on them. And the taxes which
the railroads pay altogether, about 10
cents Of every dollar they take I'M go to
help support the various functions of
government, such as schools, relief, courts,
highways, and the like. None of their
taxes goes toward the cost of providing
and maintaining their "roadways".
The railroads share in the general
benefits of government, and expect
to stand their share of the cost.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1939-04-27

In striking contrast their competitors
on the highWays--Who also share in the
general benefits of governmental the
position that they should pay no COM
parable part of the cost.
= They insist that the taxes they pay
Including license fees and gasoline taxes,
about cents Of every dollar they take
I'M be used exclusively for their bene-
ff-that their taxes" be applied only
toward the cost Of providing and main
tanning the inter-city highways that are
essential to the conduct of their business.
. And considering the extraordinary cost
of providing and maintaining the kind of
highways necessitated by these larger
vehicles, which carry the heaviest loads
and travel the largest mileages annually
competent highway authorities, includ-
ing the highway departments of several
states, hold that these trucks are pay
ing as little as one-fourth of their
fair share of the highway bill.
Exemption from a fair share of
taxes for schools, relief, and similar
functions of government, plus sub
stantiaI subsidies in the matter of
roadway costs, are GIFTS from the
tax paying public Uhich the railroads
do not get and do not seek. But they
do ask for chance to compete under
fair and equal conditions.
