OUR LAND OF PLENTY

The story of mass production
compiled by Charles Kettering and
Allen Orth relates the triumph of
the American Battle for Abund-
ance, " beginning with the birth and
growth of the "horseless carriage. &"
Well, forty years ago there were
very few automobiles on the streets
of great cities like New York. Chi
cagO and Washington.
/ The story of mass production re-
lates that "at the end of the 18th
Century the horseless carriage be-
came an automobile"
Now, in 194S the motor vehicle
industry ranks as the nations num-
Der one industry among American
manufactures - employing more
wage earners than any other man.

cal record for 1947 showed that the
value, of its products reached high
in billions of dollars tabulatiOns.
In less than a half-a-century, all
within the memory of the elders of
today, the motor industry has be-

And, besides, every part of the
United States has carried on
through the years in remodeling
old dirt roads and replacing most
of them with surfaced highways.
The other day a Washington news
bureau produced statistics that
showed that emergency Federal
taxes paid by highway users in
1947 reached an all-time high of
$1,056,469,1 1913. The tax on new cars
and motorcycles alone amounted
to an average of $1O5 on every ST.
500 cara total of more than S244. =
100000 last year. On top of that
the Federal gas taxes were S4O3.-
100000 for highway users in l947.
The highway users also paid a tax
on oil, which was practically S361b
million of an increase over any
previous years.
No wonder we are able to report
from Washington that more than

600 highway users organizations,
representing a membership in mil
lions, have petitiOned Congress to
repeal tax laws that are "an un-

taxpayer" In addition to these
taxes more millions, and billions of
dollars are being levied in federal
taxes that are not linked to Fed

of this article drives home the in

county next year. Kimbriel plans
TO install his own drier next year
and process the grain on the spot.
Kimbriel quickly admits he's
made plenty of mistakes in the ini-
tial experiment, but he'll never
raise cotton on his place again
as long as rice can be grown.
The industrial possibilities of
rice growing also are being con-
sidered by Deltans looking for a
more balanced economy. Washing
ton cOuntians estimate that pro-
duction of 10000 acres of rice
would justify a alf-million-dollar
plant in the Delta for storage and
drying purposes.
The type rice being grown now
in the Delta is similar to that be-
ing produced in Arkansas and
Louisiana, with greater production
per acre expected in Mississippi.
Once planted, rice requires only
water until time for harvesting.
