A MATTER OF ARITHMETIC

The American press is largely
uniteG in a desperate drive for a bal
anced federal budget. This is not
strange. Editsrs are we'll informed,
practical observers of history in the
making. They know that no nation or
no government can exist indefinitely
under such a profligate spending
policy. They know that ruinous spend
ing leads directly to national bank
ruptcy, loss of individual liberty-and
loss of freedom of the press. They
know fully that only the weight Of
public opposition can curb public
spending. They are not fighting a al
trulstic crusade. They are fighting for
self preservation, and the preserva-
tion OF u Constitutional government
which is our only safeguard of free
speech and free press. And they are
fighting while they still have a chance
to fight.
The magazine, Liberty, recently
pointed out that, American liberty as
we know it and value it ab3ve all else
will end unless the deficits end. It's
a matter of arithmetic" The federal
debt on May %, 1889 was $~40,234,652.
Like the mileage on a speedometer,
the rising debt clicks off the distance
u toward chaos. If and when that
destination is reached the fight by the
American press will be fnished-so
will freedom.

RECEIVER IN BANKRUPTCY

Fantastic as it may appear, the
possibility of Fascism in America is
sufficiently alive to warrant serious
consideration by all thinking citizens.
William Yandell Elliot, Chairman of
the Department of Government at
Harvard University, recently discuss
ed the growth of this form of dicta-
torship abroad, and finds certain def
mite ominous parallels in this country.
"Fascism," said Mr.. Elliot comes
in various guises, but always as a re-
ceiver in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy
is most obvious in the economic sphere
but it betrays a more fundamental
failure-the breakdown of a nations
faith in its institutions
The trend in this country toward
national bankruptcy is inescapable.
Within the past decade we have added
more than $20,000,0 900, 900 to the fed
eral debt. Moreover, according to lat
est reports, the annual cost of govern
ment will rise $1,000, 600, 1000 during
the next fiscal year.
Most of this staggering debt in
crease, we are told, is due to the fail
ure of private enterprise TO take up
the slack" in the economic machine,

REAL SOCIAL SERVICE

Private enterprise built this ma
ton as we have known and enjoyed it.
1t always pioneered in social service.
Social service was good business not
alone for the benefit of the public, but
because it paid dividends to the in
dustries enlightened enough to pro-
mote it. 1t was part of the profit, in
dividual initiative under that system,
actuated by the idea of worthwhile
service and the hope of a reasonable
profit for meeting an unquestioned
public need, has given America the
greatest human advantages in the
world and constitutes the backbone of
Americas economic strength and op-
p%ortunity.
A typical example of American
industry rendering such service, has
been fire insurance. Nearly a century
ago it accepted what might be termed
the social responsibility of business to
help conserve created resources of the
nation. In cooperation with duly con-
stituted authorities it has worked
consistently to help promote fire pre-
vention, lessen the crime of arson,
aided in obtaining adequate water
supplies, efficient fire departments and
better and safer building construction.
AS a result, capital stock company fire
insurance has been able in the last Is
years alone, to reduce the average fire
rate from 1.04 to 0.67. /,
That is real social service affect
ing a common necessity. regardless of
wealth, class, creed or geography. It
is a record of which any industry may
well be proud. ux

GREEN LIGHT

On June 5, the Supreme Curt
of the United States handed down a
decision of immense significance to
the farmers of America.
The decision upheld the %constitu-
tionality Of a Fedaral-State marketing
agreement, established by the produ-
GERS of the New York milk shed in
1893, designed to further the develop
ment of agricultural marketing coop
Grafton, and to aid the farmer in get
ting a fair price for his milk.
The fact that the highest court in
the land has thus definitely and finally
upheld this policy will give the farm
marketing cooperative movement a
strong impetus. It's Importance is not
limited to New York-other groups
of farmers in other states, face the
same marketing and price problems.
50 marketing cooperation, under
light. The rest is up to the farmers
themselves-for after all, it will be
their own work rather than political
charity which will wind the day for
them.

A C DOOR SOCIALISM,

"We've all heard so much political
denunciation of the electric utilities,
that it comes as a pleasant surprise to
find a public official who has examined
the problem realistically and arrived
at the conclusion that the u of
prosperity isn't served by legislative
assassination of legitimate private
business.
Speaking on the floor of the
House recently, Representative Don
dero of Michigan made these pointed
remarks: "In the 10 years from 1923
to 1888 the electric industry con-
structed in new lines and plants an
average of Sill, 100000 annually. In
6 years, from 1888 to 1899, the build
ing average was 81 ,OO0,O 900 annual
ly. On the basis of the previous 10
years, this was an annual building
deficit of $429, 600, 900. Moreover, in
the last 4 of these 6 years there had
been a consumption of electricity far
higher than in the boom days of the
preceding 10 years."
Mr.. Dondero wondered what
caused this situation-so he went to
authoritative governmental and pri-
vate statistical records and found out.
He found that in the earlier 10 years
the general public invested new money
in the electric business averaging
$638, 1000 a year. In the last 6 years,

MORE FOR O U MONEY

In this day and age, we're used
to workers of all KINDS making de-
mands for shorter hours and pay for
less work. But, believe it or not, there
is one Servant" which reverses this
familiar process-and which, instead,
asks for longer hours and smaller pay.
That servant is electric power.
In the last quarter century the
cost of practically everything we use
has gone steadily. Your dollar, for
instance, now buys 30 per cent less
clothing than it did in 1913. 1t buys 20
per cent less food. 1t buys Is per cent
less shelter.
But there is one vital adjunct of
living of which it buys a great deal
more, and that is electricity. Accord
ing to the u. S. Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics today's electric dollar measured
in the energy it will purchase on a
national average, is worth close to
twice what it was worth in 1913.
This has obviously saved us all a

words: 1.-The time has come when We
must make up our minds whether We

whether We want back dor social
ISM"
The forced decline in construction
ny the utilities has been responsible
for an immense amount of unemploy-
ment. It has been responsible for an
amense loss of potential tax revenue
to government. 1t has, in brief, been
a heavy contributing factor to pro-
longed depression. And-here is the
eriux of the matter-it was the ineVi-
table and unacceptable result Of a suici-
dal, sscialistic policy Of reviling, ham,
pering and destroying wealth-produc-
ing, iob-produeing, tax-pr5ducing, OPP
portunity producing private enter

1t Of money-and don't forget that
the saving was made by a heavily
taxed, strictly, unregulated, deficit
breeding public business. Equally i'm
p%ortant as the saving in cash involved
IS the fact that cheaper power has
been a tremendous factor in inprov-
ing our living and working standards,
doing away with drudgery in home
and factory. and s. increasing tha out
put OF the worker that his wages have
risen. Where the average househ. Id
used about 260 kilowatt-hours of cleo
tricity in 1913, it uses almost four
times as much, $50 kil3%watt-hours, to-
day. That's real progress-the kind of
progress that is felt in every home,
and can't be adequately measured IN
dollars and cents.
Yes, the much abused private
electric industry has made it possible
for Americans to use far more power
than any other people, and to attain a
standard of living far beyond that
known broad. Keep that in mind next
time you hear the politicians talking
about the mythical power trust"

Sooner or later concludes Mr..
Eli9t, "the pinch of public credit will
take us into this dangerous region
(chronic economic disorder). If The
way oft that is chosen lies along the
familiar lines of Faseism, even rela-
tive freedom is Gone. Fascist disci-
pline tramps upon the very hands that

The solution to the dairy problem

PROGRESSIVE MERCHANDISERS
SERVE u. S.

The consumer cooperative nov
ment, once widely heraled as the per-
feet solution g the cost of living prob
lem, seems to have fallen on evil days
in this country. This method Of retail
ing has grown slowly, when at all, and
the volume of business judged by t3tal
retail sales, is microscopic.
There is a very sound reason for
that-and it's name is u competitive
system of trade. The consumer goes
where he gets the best service, the
MIST for his money, and is offered the
widest selection of goods from which
to choose. Under u competitive sys-
tenn, private merchandisers, of beth
the single and multiple type, have
given the consumer a service I'M
matched in the world. The resident of
a little hamlet gets the same selection
and the same goods at about the same
price as the resident of a great city a
thousand miles away. Every merchant
is continually on his toes to meet his
competitor in the next street or the
next town, and the result is a steady
reduction of "in between COSTS" i'm
proved services of many kinds, more
advertising, increased turnover and a
better break all around for the consul
mer.
The comparative lack of success
of consumer cooperation can be as
cribed to it's failure ID offer the CON
sumer something he colldn't get better
in the ordinary way of business. Only
in rare instances has it been able to
undersell modern loW-cost stores. The
consumer has found no reason for de-
sorting a highly satisfactory retail
system for a more or less untried and
cumbersome experiment.
Consumer cooperation, as many
an authority has pointed out, has but
n chance to achieve great success in
this country-and that chance is if
we continue to plague regular mer-
chandising with unsound, price-boost-
ing laws. Such laws tend to increase
prices, to lower standards of service
and thus to penalize the consumer.
