A Big Job Well Done

One of the biggest transportation
jobs of the year must be accomplish
ed each August At that time the
great wheat crop comes in, and must
be hauled SWIFTLY. safely and eco
nomically to market.
Some years ago the movement of
this crop wa soften accompanied by
serious delays, as the result of car
shortages and traffic congestion. But
those days are long past-due to the
progressiveness of the railroad in
dustry. This year, as in all recent
years, the wheat was taken to mar
ket without car shortage, delay or
difficulties of any kind. And that was
accomplished eve nthoiugh the vol
ume handled by some of the impor-
tant Southwestern markets exceed
ed all previous records.
What this superb transportation
means to the wheat farmer is obvi-
ous-it means more money in his
pocket, and better and more profit
able outlet for his crop. And the
railroads perform equally important
services for all other producers. Fast
and certain rail transport makes it
possible for the apple producer in
Oregon, the truck gardener in the
South, and the potato producer in
Maine to sell his wares of maximum
in the great consuming
centers of the East and Mid West. |
Waste and spoilage in transit, once
the great bane of agriculture, are al
most unknown. And the transporta-
Lion costs for most products, even |
when three thousand-mile hauls are
involved, are usually a microscopic |
element in the final selling cost.
Yes, agriculture knows the worth |
Of progressive RAILROADS.&C. does |
industry, commerce, labor, and all |
0ther factors of our national eco
nomic life. And agriculture, as the
resolutions passed by hundreds of
representative farm organizations |
attest, is solidly behind a program

THE RIGHT TO E
MAKE A PROFIT

Philip A. Benson, President OF the
American Bankers Association, re-
Gently observed that one essential
of recovery is to encourage private
capital to engage in new ventures
and the extension of existing indus
tries. Risk capital fiourishes in an
atmosphere of confidence, not where
hostility exists. II will venture If
there is an expectation of a profit
and when its right to seek a profit is
recognized.
There is not enough general rec
ognition of the fact that risk" capi-
tai, at the beginning, is usually the
only capital which is willing to take
a chance on some venture that may
produce a great new employing in
dustry of the future. Certainly that
truth is well illustrated in the i'm
mediate past. The automobile, the
radio, the telephone, the airplane-
they are all commonplace today, but
not many years ago they were wide
ly regarded as fantastic dreams. They
could not attract conservative capi-
tai locking for gilt-edge investments.
Without risk" capital which was
willing to take long chance in the
hope of substantial profit they could
never have been developed far be-
yond the curiosity stage-and the
millions of jobs, the gigantic wealth.
and the untold opportunities they
created would never have existed.
The legislative trend of recent
y years has gone against all the rich
experience of the past We have said.
in effect, to the prospective investor
of risk" capital Go ahead aud
take a big chance-if you lose you
can absorb the losses yourself, and
if you win, wei ltake most of the
profits in taxes" Is il any wonder
that capital is dormant, that indus
try at large is marking time instead
of going ahead and that few inno-
vations can be seen in the industrial
horizon? When you drive risk
capital into hiding. you virtually
make industrial progress impossible.

MAKING LIFE MORE WORTH
WHILE

A few weeks ago a committee OF
the United States Nenate was ex-
amining groups of witnesses in or
der to determine what changes
might be made that would make the
Wagner Act more woralrable. AT
that time the American Automobile
Manufacturers Association furnish
ed facts and statistics showing that
directly and indirectly in the pro-
duetion of raw materials, in sales
and services and ON highway con-
struction and transportation that
employment was supplied to 6,000,-
900 people, all of which was trace
able to the discovery of the automo-
bile. This total represents one in
every seven persons gainfully EN-
plOyed in the United States.
This industry started at scratch
within the lifetime of most people
now living in America, and il was
not until twenty-five years ago that
Federal aid in highway construction
entered into the extension of road
building. About the same time the
use of the automobile graduated
from the rich class" into popular
use and ownership among all classes
of people. AS millions of automo-
biles started rolling across our
country roads and city streets the
dreams of rural communities and
farmers that they might become
more closely connected with other
people in active affairs in the out
side world began to be realized. 1t
was not long before they went to
town" in their cars to see the mo-
Yies.
IntercOnnected industry of high
way construction became a reality.
The petroleum industry Joined the
procession and the public soon found
out the differences between kerosene
and gas" Hotels, garages. roadside I
markets, new electrical machinery, /
and local and Federal highway reg
ulations. and a thousand new ways
of life changed our methods of liv-
ing.

Teaching Better Farming

At the recent annual meeting of
the American Cooperative Institute,
considerable discussion was given
to plans for establishing courses on
cooperative marketing of .agricul-
turai products in agricultural col
leges and high schools.
That ideas deserves attention
among educators. A very consider
able percentage of young Americans
plan TO devote their lives to farming.
And II seems certain that the most
important development in agricul-
ture in the last two decades has been
the rapid progress. in both size and
influence. made by the farm market
ing co-ops. Cerainly the immensely
important cause of better times for
agriculture would be well served if
our educational system were TO give
the farmers of tomorrow a thorough
81 Oundwork in the principles Of
cooperation.

A Mexican alien, who drew $4,000
in relief funds in the last five
years while allegedly earning 500
a week in the bootlegging business,
drew the ire of Superior Judge

Judge Smith ordered a grand

which Miguel Moreno, 49, found
himself in the profitable position
of drawing money from two sources

a challenge TO this country
But Moreno was not in court
to hear it, although he had been
scheduled to appear for his trial
on bootlegging charges. The county
welfare department, unaware that
the criminal proceedings were
pending, recently spent a final $500
TO send him and his family OF
nine back to Mexico.
