steep roads, mind you, a walk that was

Applying For Charter Membership

This columns suggestion for an American Anti
Feed-the-World League brought a great many letters, all
indorsing the idea enthusiastically.
Former Governor Lehman, who is now at the head
OF a Government bureau for feeding and 'rehabilitating'
the world in general, says we ought to make a gift of
food to all the peoples of Asia and Europe who want it.
II never heard of a doctrine more calculated to make
buns and beggars out Of millions of people. There are
executive minds and immense sums of money secreted in
Europe and Asia. Let the Hoovers and Lehmans OF EU-
ROPE N ASIA therefore break open the strong boxes
and feed and 'rehablitate' their own peoples. Why should
this job be unloaded on us by men whose philantropic
heart-throbs sound much louder than the ticking of their
brains? /
"Why should we feed and rehabilitate the peoples of
Europe and Asia? What crime have we committed
against them that this frightful penalty should be laid on
the tax paying and Woodworking women and children of
America?
ION for something or other to Germany, Italy, France,
selves tangled up in their usual every-quarter-of-acent-
urybutchey.
I'VE have, and we will have, tremendous problems to
settle here-food problems, rehabilitation problems of
industry, labor and prices. And yet it is proposed by prof
fessional hilanthropoids-a philanthropoid is a person
who gives away another persons money-that we shall
give away our food supplies and billions of our hard-earn-
ed cash to peoples who should be taught to help them
selves, to countries that do not care a tinker's dam for
US except to pilage us through the soft-headed and soft
hearted Washington top-of-the-heapers, many of whom
never did a real days work in their lives.
Eyes, let's have an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WORLD-LEAGUE."

Debt Poyine Governor

When this Mr.. Conner was elected governor of Mis-
sissippi in 1882, the state deficit was $13,0O0,0O0 and the
states bonds were selling at 70 cents on the dollar. He
served four years. When he left office the deficit had
been wiped out and the state treasury had a surplus Of
$3,OOO,O0 0. The magazine Time is authority for these
statements. Mr.. Conner, who led in the first primary for
governor Of Mississippi two weeks ago, is opposed to
the New Deal, as are most other persons who have a
prejudice against deficits. He answers perfectly to the
defination given by the New Dealers to the word "Fas-
cist.'" We do not know what an American Fascist" is,
but New Dealers and Liberalites do. When they see that
q country, a state or a mere man pays debts, they i'm
pute "Fascism" to it or him. Mr.. Conner of Mississippi
appears to be one of that kind or breed of men who made
the republic of the forty-eight states what it is-or was
until the ~uplifters came along with their plans and prac-
tees of borrowing and spending, which they said would
make all comfortable, prosperous rich and fat.

KNOWING THE ANSWERS

The question used to go in Ken
newick, where do people get so
much money to spend on autos,
big homes, clothes, radios, enter
tainment?" AS rule we know
today where people are getting so
much money to spend. They used
to say: "It will have to come to
an end before long" That re-
mark holds true perhaps today.
With everyone working, getting
higher wages and generally spend
ing it as it comes, the matter of
"when the end" can well arise.
Being well-paid and frequently,
as war jobs go, being over-paid,
the home market flourisheth.
Banks notice rising accounts, but
stores notice the steady buying
too. But through all of this walks
the man who knows the answer.
He is saving as much as possible,
is buying War Bonds as often as
he can. He knows of no finer
investment, that saves his neigh
boris boy, his government, and
his home and family. That man
probably knows all the answers!

HALLOWEEN

HALLOWEEN
Again comes Kennewick into
the cutting of Halloween capers,
to the tricks of fastening pins in
doorbells and auto horns, soaping
glass, applying ticktacks to win
dows, hosting a gate or two,
throwing baskets of leaves on
Clearly swept porches, dressing up
in outlandish costumes and throw
ing corn. Halloween is observed
in many different ways in various
communities. Some children
haven't tried the small-fry racket
of "beggar's night" with its for
felt of popcorn, candy or pennies.
No need to speak of the national
custom of soaping windows, as the
young everywhere know about
this proceeding. In cases where
air is let out of automobile tires
this year, a Jail sentence wouldn't
be too heavy a penalty for such
trick! There are probably a
number of new Halloween stunts
that haven't reached us, but the
old ones couldn't be improved
upon. They will be practiced by
our chi1dren's children, no doubt.

MORE JEFFERS-
FEWER PROFESSORS

One of the most outstanding
feats in war production was done
by William M. LETTERS, former
rubber director, in building up
facilities to supply this nation with
synthetic rubber. In about a year,
he had the program completed
and the rubber rolling out. He
then resigned and went back to
his job of railroading. l- Y
Shortly after he resigned, it
was suggested that he had better
return and see that tires We're
made out of the new rubber sup
plies available, as tire companies
claimed they were short-handed.
In reply, Mr.. LETTERS said he fin
ished the job he was chosen to
do-get rubber; that the shortage
of manpower in. the tire industry
is not nearly as serious as .on
American railroads. He said that
in his letter of resignation to the
President, he told him that there
was shortage of tire fabric for
which the WPB was responsible,
and that the question of manpow-
err shortage had been repeatedly
called to the attention of the War
Manpower Commission. He said
that Colonel Dewey and others
who worked with him on the rub
Der program, understand it thor
oughly and that if Dewey will de-
mand the ultimate in support of
the rubber program from the rub
Der companies, the WPB, and
from the VINO, the rubber pro-
gram will come through. "There
are practical men in the OPA who,
if given the opportunity to head
up the rubber problem within the
OPA, will do job"
The LETTERS philosophy of get
ting production, which he did with
one of our most scarce
is what this nation needs
more than the policies and theo-
ries which promote shortages.
Bounteous supplies, reasonable
profit, and such regulation as is
to prevent profiteering, is
the real American way Of doing
business.
We need more LETTERS and fewer
professors.

WILL THEY LAST?

Are they going to last forever,
these critical materials that we
are exhausting as we keep on with
war, supplying the needs of Al
lies as well as ourself, with those
important raw materials as oil,
steel, minerals and timber?
America has been named as a
country having the most. If we
keep drawing SO heavily on our
wealth for say four or five years
more of war, we will lose this
rating. Bauxite, which is the chief
source Of aluminium, is not able
to Withstand more than five years
of the present rate of consumption.
High-grade copper reserves are
hoped to last up to S years and
this is spoken of good grades of
coal. There can be a bottom to
even a most, and if we dig UNI
ceasingly into. our stores, we rob
our future of security. Let us
plan wisely, use sparingly, utilize
substitutes if necessary, but let
us use foresight in place of hind
sight while we can.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1943-10-28

Under the present system Of
government the small business
man is the lowest paid worker in
this country. When the hours he
puts in are taken into considera-
ton he receives less than his low
est paid help. Within the past 10
years SO many new taxes and de-
tailed reports have been required
of the small business man that
the bookkeeping necessary to pro-
vide them is becoming top heavy.
It is out of proportion to the vol
ume of business done. Small bust
ness, if it is going to survive, is
going to have to revise its prices
upward. These new frills to the
scheme of living are costing small
business more than it can pay
under profit margins that few
years ago were ample.
