I KNOW A RETIRED JUDGE with keen sense of humor,

The other day bemoaning the fact that life somehow
wouldn't fit into plans when he gave this sentence, "A
seldom finds what he looking for but he finds any
thing unless he is looking for something"
many of us just sit back and wish, and then say
not answered But the who pray hum

done. The impossible happens sometimes grandmother
used to And when the impossible happens usually
find it has been mixture Of prayer and hard work that
brought it about.

ECONOMIC STABILITY

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE enjoying good tmes-how long
" such times last?
According the Presidents Economic Report well into
the future According labor only if the federal
ment is prepared to grappe with of the underlying
that threaten unemployment and shrinking national
income.
OF course good times only reatve-relative to how
much is in the envelope Trumans report predicted
rise in food prices above the astronomical figure they have
reached today
Truman also warned of the danger of depression buy
ing power lags His warning made last January. His
report last month shows clearly that business has continued
to force up prices and profits to fantastic levels.
Good times judged by the pay envelope, won't allow
for much buying power at todays prices
Profit figures are soaring out of the top of the chart
The first half of 1947 shows corporate profits before taxes
at yearly rate of $29 billion net profits after taxes,
running at STA billion annual rate.
That's nice for the employer But how about the work
er? He doesn't count in the bonshe counts in the dollars
The result is that labor must look to it's unions for de-
against the threats of high prices and inevitable
depression if they continue Full employment is must if
labor is to maintain such buying has todayhoW
ever today buying power is not sufficient.
Prices be forced down to maintain economic sta

level, equitably distributed among all people.
In short the union has job in front of ito force in
creased production and full employment in order that prices
drop, and workers live like men,

AND STHL THEY SOAR


I ABORS CHARGES THAT AMERICAN business has been
all too ready to take advantage of high prices borne
out by latest Department of Commerce figures soaring
dividends.
The department says that cash dividends percent
higher in the first half of 1947 than for the period
ago. In June corporations paid the tidy of
900 in publicly reported cash dividends of 18
percent the $517 100000 distributed in June 1916
For the second quarter period April through June dvid
16 percent than the for the months last
year, it reported.
And the figures do not tell the whole dividend story the
department pointed out nonv that these figures represent
only publicly reported cash dividends only about 60 per-
cent of all cash dividends actually paid by corporations
In June this paper cited dividends paid during the first
months of the highest record according to the Com
Department and observed words that apply equally
to the latest payments:
his record of alltime high profits is proof that bus
mess and industry could have reduced prices by taking small
er profits Not every company, perhaps but very large
proportion of them And could have prices sharply
though would have meant smaller though very respectable
profits"

NO BOGEY-MAN
THE TAFT-HARTLEY LAW, still in il

THE TAFT-HARTLEY LAW, still in it's cradle shows no
promise of becoming the fullbown strke-beaker and
bogeyman to labor that its sponsors ferveny banked
upon.
On the contrary strikes still springing up the
country newspapers published by unions still printing
the voting records of congressman fact with the
ton of scattered injunction here and there it might almost
if there no Taft-Hartley law.
OF course, hard-btten reactionary employers
pounced the law the minute it became effective good

Even Senator Taft and Representative Hartley can't

In any unionsts, who like chuckle have been get

and Hartley.
Although the you-know-what bill is supposed to be the
product of their joint brain work chamen of the Senate
and House Labor Committees the pair just can't to get
together on what it means
The coal agreement branded conspiracy by
Hartley. To Taft it looked just fine. Taft is beginning to
worry about the political expenditures provision which might
affect commercial papers well labor papers, Hartley is

While labor cannot place itself in the position of taking
the TIL law lightly it still afford to get laugh at the

 Territorial roads are support ed by territorial licences and the gasoline tax he stated "wh le city roads have been maintained by the personal property tax on vehicles. It seems only fair that those residents in the Additions help maintain the roads in town which they also use, and the new city Iicence fee can be extended to include them "
