SAVE DEMOCRACY-AT HOME

Apparently a great many people
never become alarmed about Demo-
cracy until they hear the crack of
rifles. During the last decade there
has been a studied, deliberate attempt
to socialize the electric light industry
in the U. S. Government ownership is
a definite Federal policy. Every pos
sible effort has been made to extend
this policy. Publicly subsidized electric
plants dot the country from coast to
coast, for which the government (the
people, has obligated itself for nearly
$2,000,000,0N of borrowed money to
date. Each plant is a threat to free
enterprise, and undermines demo-
The Omaha guide., 1939-11-25

craey-yet public opposition has been
dormant.
If government would take over the
electric utility industry and then stop,
the average citizen might not have
undue cause to worry. Unfortunately
such would MT be the case. Expanding
bureaucracy never hats of its own
will. If given the opportunity it will
gradually extinguish the institution of
private ownership, and when that
has been accomplished, individual Ii
berty and representative government
will follow. Government ownership
and free enterprise cannot live peace
ably side by side.
During the past decade in the
United States, the public ownership
versus free enterprise battle has rag
ed with ever increasing intensity.
There has been no g%unfre, but carry
ing out the principle involved, namely
government domination Of the indivi-
dual, has streWn fields of battle with
dead the world over.

DISHONEST ~"YARDSTICK"

Up in the Pacific Northwest there
is a growing note of caution in wv
paper comment concerning the forma-
ton of public utility districts to use
the tax subsidized power from Bonnie
vile and Grand Coulee dams.
The editors, along with the public
are realizing the dishonesty of power
"yardsticks' which take no notice of
cost accounting methods forced by
law on the private utilities. And closer
to home still, they are thinking hard
about what is going to happen to all
other taxpayers of the gigantic taxes
the private companies pay T largely
lost to counties, cities and state, by
tax and capital subsidies given to
public plants.
The Federal plants such as Bon
neville and Grand Coulee pay no state
or local taxes and are exempt from
Federal taxation. How can they fur
nish any kind of a fair "yardstick?"

THE FIRE INSURANCE DOLLAR

Many a fire insurance pollcyhold-
ers who has never sustained a loss
must have wondered what happened
to his premium dollars. In a recent
talk, w. E. Mallalieu, General Mana
ger of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, tells the story.
Taking the records of 332 large
fire companies for 1888, it is found
that a little more than AZ cents out Of
each premium dollar earned went to
pay losses. Three cents was consumed
by the expense of adjustment.
About 20 cents out of this aver
age dollar was needed to pay manage
ment expenses. Of this 20 cents, seven
cents went for salaries, about 5 cents
for miscellaneous items, one cent for
rent, and 7 cents for field supervision
The tax collector doesn't over
look fire insurance any more than he
does another business. Taxes Of vari-
Gus sorts five cents of the premium
dollar. q
This accounts for about II cents.
A quarter went to the agent who sold
the insurance-and any policyholder
who has had need of agency hire. The
remainder, less than 5 per cent
represents the modest profits earned
by the companies.
Few businesses spend their revenue
in a more beneficial manner than fire
insurance. Take that item of five cents
for miscellaneous costs, for instance.
This pays for all the expenes of of
maintaining inspection, rating
bureaus and other organizations, and
for printing, advertising, postage,
maps, surveys, etc. 1t pays for

APPLES TO THE FORE

An apple a day may not always
keep the doctor away-but it IS a
certainty that apples are among the
most delectable and healthful of
fruits. And this year, due to the or
ganized efforts of growers and mass
distributors, the consuming public is
going to be treated to high quality
apples at very reasonable prices.
The National Apple Institute,
meeting last August, approved a plan
whereby low-grade fruit will be held
off the market SO far as possible; the
choicest fruit will be moved into on
sumption at the beginning of the
season; plenty of first-class fruit will
be always available information con-
corning the various varieties of APP
Piles and their best uses will be widely
disseminated.
However, as any producer knows,
just putting a good product on the
market in the normal way Of business
doesn't necessarily assure satisfactory
sales. And the apple producers today
face a very serious problem. The 1889
commercial crop will reach some 103,-
100000 bushels, as against a 1928-37
average of $500 ,000. Increased for
eign production, plus the chaotic
conditions created in Europe by war,
have complicated the export situation.
AS a result, the producers realized
that extraordinary sales stimulus was
necessary if they were to move the
crop.
AS in past apple crises, they con-
@lted with the organized chain stores
6f the nation. Upshot is a nationwide
apple sale, which took place during
Oct. 26 to Nov. 4. And December 7th
to 10th and February 1th to 10th.
During these periods the thousands
of cooperating stores will feature ap-
Piles, advertising apples, talk apples
and, going by past precedent, sell ap-
pies on a tremendous scale.
What this means to the producers
of a major farm crop is obvious. They
+ scattered throughout the country,
and the welfare of many communities
depends upon their finding a good
markt for their fine crops. And it
means much to the consuming public
as well, which gets the best of fruit at
reasonable prices. A producer consul
mer campaign such as this marks one
of those happy events from which all
concerned benefit.
