PUBLIC HANDOUTS ROAD TO
POVERTY

The question of tax reduction rest:
entirely in the hands of teh people.
The National City Bank OF New York
sums the situation up accurately
when it says that the extent Of the
reduction in the tax rates will de-
pend on how far the people are will
ing to go in reducing government
spending after the war. The Bank
says: "Tbe American people need to
get out of the habit of trying to
solve every economic problem by rum
ming to government for some kind of
subsidy or financial guarantee, the
sum totals of which easily run upto
staggering amounts"
Taxes will go higher if individuals
and communities persist in asking
public handouts from government,
instead of being self-supporting.

TOO MUCH "PLANNED

Washington, ID. c., July 9-The
United States became the greatest
nation in the world because our peo-
pie were free to exercise their own
initiative. and had full sway for tie
full functioning of their abilities,
unhampered by excessive govern
mental supervision. The correctness
of the above statement is universally
admitted. Why, then, are we leaning
surely, and not very slowly, toward
planned economy? 1t is time for a
thoughtful appraisal of the situation,
and considered answer to this
prime question.
Concession made to the economic
planners, whoever they may be, us
ually involves in greater or less de-
gree a surrender of individual liberty
of action. Worse-it assumes that
there is no possibility of life de-
gree of prosperity through individual
initiative How is it then, that we are
complacent toward it? Are we doing
it with our eyes open or are we for
feiting our chance for a prosperous
future without realizing it?
Underlying it all is the fact that
individuals, frightened by the depres-
sion, have adopted a policy of despair
and given support to the theory that
the individual can do little to help
the situation. 1t is high time for
right-thinking to get together to
eradicate the detrimental forces
which are jeopardizing the future of
our American economy. Public opin-
ion is a powerful force which if con-
centrated for good purpose can
quickly get our economy into smooth
running order

Ike plain unauthorized bunk tral
is beng peddled today by so called
responsible men in government tc
the effect that Congress must pass
legislation that will provide jobs fol
all, is simply sickening. Congress
might pass an emergency measure
that would employ everybody for a
few months or year or two, nut
neither Congress nor the Government
has dime to employ anybody until
it first takes it away from the peo-
pie III taxes.
If the government is to furnish
jobs for all continuously, it must
confiscate all property and industry
and go into business to earn the
money to pay to public employes-it
couldn't tax people enough to pro-
vide jobs for all and leave anything
for the taxpayer to conduct business
with.
Hitler's Germany would be a kin
dergarten compared with the tyranny
iii at would develop in any country
that provided jobs for all.
Only as men and women rustic
their own jobs, will they remain in
dependent.

The oil industry has been officially
told to reach an all-time record pro-
duction rate of 5,213,100 barrels

CROP INSURANCE

The big program coming up is the
1916 Wheat Crop Insurance Selling
Campaign, starting in late July and
extending through September. Plans
are being developed to make this
Maryland's greatest year from the
standpoint of participation in Crop
Insurance. The reason-a successful
onstrate to Congress the farmers in
terest in crop insurance and will al
most certainly lead to extension Of
crop insurance to other crops (tobac-
CO, corn, soybeans, tomatoes, fruit
crops and others) whereas a low
degree of participation will tend to
discourage the interest of Congress
in extension of insurance to other
crops. Wheat insurance is the cor
nerstone" of the crop insurance flu
ture for the farmer. Get behind it
if you want broad crop insurance
coverage in the future.
The Dairy Situation
A record rate of milk production
is in prospect in 1945 and milk pro-
duction is likely to continue at
high level in 1916, if average or bet
ter-than-average weather prevails.
Milk COW numbers will probably con-
tinue at or near an all-time high and
unit returns for dairy products
through the first quarter of 1916, be-
cause of dairy production payments,
will be higher than in 1914.
The 1916 Soil Conservation Prac-
tice Program is now being prepared.
Any committeeman or other farmers
who have suggestions concerning this
program should send their contribu-
lions to the Maryland State Office.

Farmers Live On Hope

Nearly everybody, except the far
mers, have cures for farm troubles,
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, gives it's opinion that
it is high time for more realistic
determination of the number of
farms, the number of farmers, and
TIE number of other people associa-
ted with agriculture in the United
States" The variations in the eco
nomic status of farmers disturbs the
big-business group, and they are
convinced that agricultural prob
lens cannot be solved by overall
policies and programs applicable to
all farmers. The Chamber suggests
that farmer problems are so divided
into groups that their affairs must
be dealt with in accordance with
their special characteristics.
That sort of reasoning appears to
harmonic with the policies and
statements of our own Department
of Agriculture whose Chief Agricul-
tural Economist told us short while
ago that in order to analyze the at
fairs of farm production, trade and
better nutrition, that he conducted
an analysis and inventory that cover
ed basic land resources, the prevail
in crop and livestock patterns, ma
chinery, equipment and tools and
other institutional arrangements af-
fecting the agriculture. He suggested
closer cooperation between the Gov
eminent and private loan agencies to
bring about more effective arrange
ments for supplying producers with
adequate credit at low cost for OBJ
tanning necessary machinery and
equipment and for other purposes.
From Planes Back To Automobiles
The automotive industry skut-up-
shop when it hastily prepared the
way to engage all it's facilities in the
torrent of war materials that did not
reach the peak until war production
climbed to $1,OO0,O00 an hour.
Now, the same great industry has
tackled pre-reconversion with might
and force that compares with the pre-
paratory work of the military state
gist. 1t requires considerable time,
exceptional skill, relatively few men,
and it must be done we'll in advance
of any actual changeover from one
type of production to another. Recon
version is similar to actual military
offensive. For this is the period
which sees the plans and prepare
lions translated into actions employ
ing thousands of men.
Time is an essential ingredient in
preparing to achieve either military
or industrial detectives. To reach the
civilian production goal, certain ac-
lions must be taken six months in
advance, others three months in adj
vancec, and still others thirty days
in advance of the zero hour when re-
conversion operations will COM
mence.
With $1,000 parts to consider in
the average automobile, these techni-
clans will review the manufacturing
process of each of the parts going
into their company's product.
At this stage, they must consider
the thousands of suppliers of parts
and subassemblies who served the
company in peacetime, and must try

Speculation on a successor to

In addition to the 9Th Army, the

His command consists of consid-

Ickes Hopes Order
For Seizure Of Mines
will Be Issued Today

Points to Closing Of
13 BIust Furnaces

Solid Fuels Administrator IckeS
says he hopes to receive an order
for Government seizure of soft
coal mines today.
Terming the coal situation worse
than unfortunate" Secretary Ickes
told his news conference today that
13 blast furnaces of the United
States Steel Corp. have shut down
and that 20 more will be down by
tomorrow noon.
I'VE are headed toward a serious
interruption in the production of
steel" he said.
Opposes Any Delay.
He added that Il don't think We
ought to wait at all before taking
over the mines"
Il need the authority. however" i"
he said. The War Labor Board
must forward a certification to the
President and the President must
issue the order. I hope that will
be done at once"
The solid fuels administrator,
asked if he had communicated his
views to the WLB. said his Office
was in constant touch with the
agency and that he himself had
been in communication with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
AS Mr. Ickes spoke. reports from
the soft coal areas indicated at
least 10000 of the miners still re-
manned away from their jobs despite
United Mine Workers President
John L. Lewis request that they
continue work at least until May
/ while a new contract is being
negotiated. The STA has estimated
the absenteeism is costing produc-
ton of from 100000 to 100000 tons
of bituminous coal daily.
Country Not Patient.
Mr. Ickes said he could not fix
the blame on the miners or opera
tors independent of each other, but
added:
Il don't think that the country
will be very patient with an inter-
ruption in the coal mines. I think
the operators ought to do all they
can to ameliorate these disturb
ances. I don't think any miner
has the right to lay down his tools
when all we have to do is to con-
tinue to win through to victory in
Europe. Every operator and every
miner ought to conduct himself like
a loyal American citizen
The STA reported an increase in
absenteeism in the Pennsylvania
soft coal field. Wildcat work stop
pages there were reported to be
keeping an estimated 28,900 men
from the jobs as compared with yes
