county commissioners have decid-

delivered to Laurel. Delmar, Frank

Next spring it is said to be the
intention Of the authorities to gra-
vel some of the roads which have
been designated as Class B, and
connect them up with the chain OF
improved highways now being con-
structed throughout lower Della

stretches will be from COkesbury

Complaints have been general
upon the part of automobile drivers
in the town of Milford during the
past few weeks that the town po-
lice do not know the speed limits
provided by the State laws for auto
mobiles while driving in the towns.
Last week a gentleman who resides
out OF town limits but who does
his buying in Milford, came to town
and was arrested for exceeding the
speed limit. At his trial he was able
to show that he, was not exceeding
fifteen miles an hour, the State
law. He claims that the local police
arrested him on a charge of excee-
ding a twelve mile limit. The re-
vised code of 1915 specifies a twel.
We mile limit, but at the next ses.
sion of the legislature this was a.
mended to read fifteen miles. It is
possible that the Milford police
have been using the code as theil
guide when a later law is in force
No town ordinance can go over the
State law in regard to the speed O
automobiles so it is useless to stat,
that the town ordnance provide fol
such a rate of speed.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

Taxes have reached beyond reasonable
limits. The MAN from Missouri won't be
able to whirl Congress in line to put his tax
schemes into effect Where the Democrats
slipped up is on the apparently small item of
the "sales tax" The whole country is against
that sort of pettifogging What the average
person wants is to have plenty of money to
spend and you won't see many of our citizens
changing in that direction. There has been
no indication that the United States Govern
ment will discontinue it's extravagant spend
ing in contemplation of World War Number
III. The Marshall Plan heads the list-and
believe it or not, that plan is popular with
nearly all the masses. Evidently red ink de-
ficits are here to stay for quite while The
current income does not cover all Govern
ment expenses as they are bound to be ap-
proved in the future as in the past by our
Government in Washington.

BABSON Discusses Pensions

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. Ii
I am in New York checking up
with the large corporations re-
garding the settlement between
the steel companies and Mr.. Muir
ray. They all seem to be dis
appointed. They feel that this
is a real victory for labor, al
though the steel companies are
a little better off than if they
had accepted the Fact Finding

idents Board. They also are dis

ic rather than policital. The special

Milford chronicle., 1949-11-11

toured the Taft-Hartley Bill which really was de-
signed for just such purposes In the Congressional
campaign next year this settlement will be used as
argument that the Taft-Hartley Bill is unneces-
sary.
An Important Precedent
Although these corporation officials with whom
talked disappointed, they admit that a pre-
cedent has been set which may force a great many
other corporations to adopt more or less similar
pension system They state that there are three
reasons why the steel companies were handicapped
in their negotiations One reason is because so
many of the top officers themselves have pensions.
second reason is because the public although Op-
posed, at the present time, to wage raises are
sympathetic with the pension idea third factor in
the situation is that the Ford Motor Company has
accepted nOn-cOntributOry pension system.
AS Henry Ford was the first to guarantee $500 a
day. they feel that the Ford Company is again beat
ing the gun. On the other hand, it should be re-
membered that all of the common stock of the Ford
Motor Company is in a charitable trust and
hence these Ford pensions do not cost the Ford
family anything! If all of the steel companies unite
in similar program, the cost could be passed on
to the users of steel and 'may not cost the steel
companies stockholders anything" This, of course,
is an insane method of accounting 1t is a good deal
like man loaning money to his wife and accepting
note for it and thinking it does not cost him any
thing!

Of bureaucrats employed in the exec

The 1,7SO, ,4O3 on the pay rolls of the

TRUMANS UNsOUND POLICY

ALI of the criticism of President Truman's
policies does not come from the formal OppO-
sitiOn. Much of it has taken place within his
own official family. The most striking ex-
ample was the recent resignation of DR..
Edwin NOurse, who was the Presidents chief
economic advisor for three years, following a
blunt speech in which he strongly criticized
the Administration erOnOnic ideas. 81 am
not happy" DR.. Nourse said, when l see
the government slipping back into deficits as
way OF life" He urged that the govern
ment puts It's fiscal house in order, and then
said: IF we are to maintain the march of
economic progress, we St-individuallys
and as groups, in private business and in poll
tics-display industry, prudence and self
discipline, recognize that we can't get more
out of the economic system than we put in
-. Monetary and fiscal tricks have no power
of magic but are a slippery road to misery"
In the course of his address, DR.. NOurse also
criticized the three-day week in the coal
mines ordered by John l.. Lewis, the effort
of the steel workers to reduce the working
day, and the pricing policies of some indus
tries. This would not be particularly news
worthy if DR.. Nourse were a conservative
business economist. But he has always been
regarded as a man of liberal views, and he
has favored many New Deal and Fair Deal
theories. The point seems to be that he, in
company with many others, has become con-
vinced that Mr.. Truman's policies, and the
enormous cost they would involve, endanger
our financial security as a nation. 1t is obvious
to anyone that if the government must Oper-
ate on deficit basis in good times, when the
national income is very high and tax reve-
nues reflect this condition, the situation
would become critical if business slackened
and the economic machine slowed down. This
problem is underlined by the current labor
situation. Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
is the authority for the statement that if the
steel strike continues until December, 5,OOO,-
600 men will be out Of work. The grim effect
of that on the economy is easily imagined
Men who are not working cannot buy. Mer-
chants, landlords and others cannot collect
their accounts, so they too cannot buy The
cycle thus started spreads until every enter
prise and every section of the country is af.
fected. Wages and earnings drOp-and so de
the governments revenues. And even wheI
a great strike ends, it takes a long, long time
to make up the lost ground In any event
Mr.. Truman undoubtedly faces stormy days
ahead. He has shown no disposition to Civ,
ground on any policy. But the opposition t,
his economic policy is growing.

Egg Tip

Here's a tip for you folks who
must unfortunately buy your eggs
at the grocery in neat cartons,
every egg the same size, shape and
color, at 80 to IS cents a dozen &.
guaranteed graded eggs. And you
are told the reason for this fancy
price for these fancy eggs is that
the government is paying the farm
er a subsidy for these eggs, which
is not wholly true.
In the first place the depart
ment Of agriculture, is merely
administering a law passed by
congress, and it pays a maxi
mum Of S5 cents dozen for
nest run, nOn-graded eggs
all sizes, all cOlOrs, cracked or
whole, clean or dirty, fresh or
not, TO Mr.. Average Farmer.
The poultry-men who sell these
graded, guaranteed eggs probably
never see a government subsidy,
and the nest-run. non-graded eggs
would never reach the city market
anyway.

SORRY EXAMPLES

The world sOrely needs honest and cOur-
ageOus leaders who will truthfully tell the
people that something for nothing is a
slOgan-rnirage Turing them to economic and
physical slavery and degradation. Our cOun-
try grew great and strong because it has
been a land of opportunity without ceiling
on the heights that could be achieved by any,
one willing to work and save and invest. The
pioneers slogan "Waste not, Want not" is
one that needs to be put before the swarms of
bureaucratic lOcusts now devOuring the peO-
pies sustenance, and bankrupting the ma
tiOn'S moral and spiritual values. If we are
to survive and continue to progress and pros
per, there must be an end to the sacrilegiOus,
screwy school of economics that throws pigs
In the rivers and pOurS kerosene on noun
tains of potatoes. The something for moth
ing" delusiOn is reaching it's peaks in the well
fare state According to the theory behind
it, the government should meet the costs
when we are born, furnish ''free" medical
care all our lives, see to it that we have re-
tirement pensions shortly after middle age
and take care Of practically any other exig-
ency that may arise. What this means, of
course, is that government must take most
OF our incomes to pay the bills, and so make
individual thrift and saving impossible. 1t
has happened in England and other countries.
We seem bent on following such sorry ex-
amples.
