Report on ~ Tobacco Market
|Chorges Trade Irregularities

appro hing, farmers needed
money; then the break came when
some growers condemned the size
and quality of their crops. Large
quantities were sold to SPECTATORS
at from 8 to so cents pound.
This led to the establishment of q
lower price when the market opened.
Farmer morale had cracked. Dam
ger signals appeared.
Then the Southern Maryland
Farm Bureau stepped into the
breach and tried to improve the
situation. Meetings and confer
ences Of selling agencies, farmers
and cigarette manufacturers were
held. Selling agencies were opti-
mistic.
AFTER the meetings, farmer mo-
rale lifted and good prices were ex-
|pected. Manufacturers apparently
wanted tobacco, but it seemed that
the price die had been cast before
the market opened. Later, the mar,
ket opened with confusion and dis
illusionment.
Average Doyn 13 Cents.
"The average price was down
about 13 cents per pound under
the previous year. Conferences were
again held with factory representa-
tives, but they stood pat, on the
price situation, claiming that the
crop was under average in quality
and that Maryland tobacco would
have to meet competition.
"The Farm Bureau sought Federal
aid, but that was found to be in
sufficient. The whole situation was
bad, from beginning to end. The
farmers were not united. They were
in competition with each other. They
could or would not pool their tobacco
They had no bargaining power and
could not sell in an orderly fashion
Toward the end of the selling sea-
son prices went lower and lower al
warehouses and roads leading tc
them were glutted with tobacco"

What does the everybody bene-
fits" part of the Community Chest
Federation campaign slogan, Every
body Benefits-Everybody Gives" "
mean?
Everybody does benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the services made
possible by Community Chest
agencies.
Campaign Chairman Edward H.
Foley, jr., explains that if you run
into difficulties and need help with
Ia hospital bill, a lift from a family
agency or call by visiting nurse,
low-pay care in. a nursery school,
or If your child is a Scout, a Camp
Fire Girl, or goes to a settlement
house or boys club, you benefit
directly.
When epidemics are avoided,
when delinquency is controlled, when
crime is reduced, when social unrest
is Quilted, everybody benefits in
directly.

BY RUTH TAYLOR

In a magazine the other day,
came upon this line, do you want
to earn living or make a living?'
That cogent question stood out
from the printed page. In it lies
much more than clever sentence
In it is the root of true success
Are we willing to earn our living
to merit each step we advance
whether it be in employment or in
the regard of our fellow workers
Or do we want to make a living
slashing it out, and forcing a place
for ourselves?
If We want to earn a living, we
will work at it conscientiously, do
ing fair share of whatever is
put before us, not cutting corners,
nor cheating. nor turning out a
shoddy piece of work. The same
is true with our living outside of
our work. If we want people to
like US, We will be friendly, cour-
teous, fair to ALL No task will
be too insignificant, for we will
respect ourselves too much to do
a bad job.
If we want to make living. we
will carve out a place for our
selves, perhaps not too scrupulous-
ly. We will be putting ourselves

first and subordinating all things
and all people to the one end of
success. Ambition only, gives,
even of bitterness, a beaker full, !"
the poet wrote.
Most of us want to earn a living.
We come from that sort of people.
We have a tradition of hard work
behind us, of people who braved
the unknown to build through the
labor of their heart and hands a
home for themselves and for those
to follow.
We have had enough of those
who wanted to make a living-of
the peoples "ho were not willing
to achieve success by the slow
process but who wanted to grab
for Themselves not "a place in the
sun" but "the place in the SUM-"
We have learned that the appeal
of the dictators-left or right is
to those who do not want to earn
living. They substitute taking
for earning. They do not build.
They destroy.
What is true of nations is true
of individuals. What is true of
individuals is true of nations. 1t is
up to us. What do we want to do
make a living or earn a living?
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1947-08-27

for the idler, for the man who took
advantage of what others had
done, without contributing either
of hand or brain to the common
welfare. The men and women
whom we have chosen to honor
have been those-no matter from
what group they came-who have
worked hard and done most for
the common good.
For this reason Labor Day is not
a day set apart for any one group
but a day which all may celebrate.
We have learned that only those
things which are earned are en-
during, that there is a task for
each and every one of us. Know
ing this, let us on this Labor Day
in the year of our Lord, 1947. re-
dedicate ourselves to the task set
before us, and so labor that we
may pass on to the next genera
ton nation better and stronger
for our having lived and toiled
therein, and a heritage of accom-
plishment to spur on to greater
labor and greater accomplishment
those who follow.

Senate G. 0. P. Split
On Waiting Till Jan. |
For New Tax Cut Bill
9y the Associoied Press

Senate Republicans were reported
divided today over the political bene-
fits of trying now-or waiting six
months-to enact a January ! in
come tax cut.
With House colleagues giving every
indication they want to go ahead,
Chairman Taft said the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee will de-
eide before July 4 whether to at
tempt to push through delayed-ac-
ton tax measure.
Senator Taft conceded the COM
mittee had discussed the political
effect, but said no decisions had
been reached.
Although the Ohio Senator would
not comment on this point, there
was evidence that some Republicans
believed it would be better for their
party politically to rest on the veto
by which President Truman killed
a $4,000, ,000, 900 cut which a majority
of Congress wanted put in effect
July l. That bill died when the
House, by two votes, failed to over
ride.
1t apparently was the viewpoint
Of this group that the Presidents
action would cause increasing re-
sentiment among voters as time goes
on.
On the other side, some Repub-
licans were represented as arguing
that it would be better politically
to act now than to wait until Jan
uary.
Any attempt to enact a new bill,
however, hinges on the Democratic
support Republicans might get to-
override another possible veto.
President Truman did not commit
himself in his veto message to any
timing on a new tax-reduction bill.
But some congressional members of
his party believe he might accept
measure effective January
House members, including Chair
man Knutson of the Ways and Means
Committee, have made it plain they
won't start the ball rolling until
they can be assured that at least So
Senators would vote to override a
veto. Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia said he had assurances of
81. adding that dozen others
might be classed as possible sup
porters for such a move.
