WISE or
OTHERWISE
BY E. o. BOND

If you haven't much, think
how little you have to get to
improve your situation.
So many people really need
sympathy you shouldn't waste
any on yourself.
Opportunity merely knocks -
temptation kicks the door in.
Lots of folks are wondering
what the world is coming to q.
we just hope it's coming to.
Folks who always look back
know where they have been but
not where they are going.
Consider the flea, all it does
is jump around-and it goes to
the dogs.
The world got along lots bet
ter when folks were shaking
hands instead of heads.
It's doggone hard to get ahead
in the world if you spend all
your time getting even.
A lot of good could be done
for the world if nobody cared
who got credit for it.

people is estimated to cost less
than 81 billion a year.
There is no uniform pension
plan today. Federal old age in
surance fails to cover millions
and looks to general taxation for
a large part of the cost.
The Railroad Retirement System
is financed completely by joint
payment from employers and en-
ployees, averaging about 6 per cent
apiece. Most of the cost is finally
reflected in railroad rates and con-
sumer prices. There are several
federal employees compensation
funds; there is an Ohio State
teachers retirement fund; there
are company funds which have
existed long time, like that of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. Should we try to impose
some uniform system?
L suggest that we should study
l. the idea of basic uniform
federal plan frankly based on
taxation through current federal
tax. This tax could be on pay rolls,
but I doubt if it should be related
to the future rise in payment of
particular employees.
In addition to this basic plan, we
might even authorize and provide
special funds to be created for
particular industries and set up in
manner decided upon by the EN-
ployers and the employees in such
industries. The payments might be
made by employer or by employee,
or both, out of profit or out of pay
roll; they might be graded and pro-
vide specific sums, but / do not
think they should be varied because
of any change in the basic federal
plan.
Each class of payment ought
to stand on its own base. Because
these payments would usually
be passed on to the consumer,
perhaps in case of industry they
should be limited to some total
percentage of pay roll.
The whole subject is in such
complete confusion today that it
should receive the most careful
study from the Senate Finance
Committee when it meets in
January.

EQUALITY

We hear much these days about equality, but there
seems to be wide divergence of opinion as to just what
equality" means when applied to the human family.
Ask socialist what he means by equality" and he
will tell you it civilization in which all equally
means sharing the poverty,
Ask capitalist believer in the capalstic sys-
tenn and the definition you will get from him is that equal
ity" is the civilization which all equal opportun
ity and equality before the law. -
Commencing with the French Revolution the sociaistic
dream of equality of wealth has led to cruelty and
endless boodshed all to very little purpose At times the
to the sdenes completely qudated by the proletaria
wealth has been confiscated and divided But in every
such case it was not long until the people discovered that
the beautiful theory of equal sharing the wealth
not work out in practice BY killing off rendering in
active the brains of nation the total of accomplish
ment is poverty for all.
Any government Immediately establish equality of
sort by taking away property from the rich haves and
distributing it among the poor have-nots Currently that
is what doing through progressive income taxation
social security unemployment dole ETC. In the past when
and wherever government has undertaken equal dis
ribution of the wealth. the "havenos did less
poor Notable examples of this the French and Russian
Why did these fail? Simply because confscation of
the property of the rch honestly distributed among
the general population no more raises the level OF wealth
a bahtub The net result of those revolu-
tions to produce equality of poverty This is al
ways easy do and any dictatorship accomplish it.
What dictaors cannot accomplish is something far
difficult-an equality of plenty
Here in America had made considerable progress
toward equality of plenty in capitaisc economy 1t
would be idle for US to contend had reached that much
gOa we were on AL IeaSI
had travelled further toward it than has any other
ton in the entire history of the world.
We know the formula for achieving equality of plenty
it produce sufficiently large quantity of things and
the distribution of them will take of itself The auto
mobile is but of many things which be cited
proof of this We produce the automobile in large quan
ties and witness the millions of that
travel highways today.
If the United States is permitted to resume along the
pathway which it started and along which it journeyed
for century and half it is not unreasonable to assume
that eventually will achieve equality of plenty with
governmental planning or interference
Just as there minimum of things necessary to mans
subsistence there is maximum of things that he

actuarial basis. The reserve wouid
be so huge that it would have to
purchase most of the property In
the country. A reserve in govern
ment bonds would be no reserve at
all because you have to levy taxes
on current earnings to pay the In
terest on the bonds.
The truth is that the only way
pensions can be paid to millions
who have retired and are not
working is out of the current
earnings of those who are work.
ing.
Those earnings must be reached
by some form Of taxation. That
taxation may be on pay rolls. 1t
may be paid by the employer or by
the employee, but pay roll taxes in
either case are usually passed on
to the consumer in the price of the
finished product.
Through a proft-sharing plan
the taxes may be paid out of cor
poration profits; they may be
raised by general taxation on in
come or sales; they may be raised
by transaction tax as proposed in
the Townsend Plan. But taxation
it must ultimately be, and the
question we are to face frankly is
whether our economy can stand
that tremendous burden without
deterring industry as well as the
worker and reducing too much the
workers standard of living. 1t is
the most expensive project of the
social welfare proposal, for even

THE RAINBOW

Over the hill there's a rainbow
With colors of brightest hue
Reminding us of Gods promise
That comes with the rain to you
List to the rain softly falling
Softly dripping down from the eyes
And list to the wind softly signing
AS it gently ruffles the leaves.
Rain brings promise of harvest
AS it lowers the dust to the ground
And it brings forth the fruit and the flowers
While sweet hay in the meadows abound
And after the showers have finished
The grass is SO lovely and green
Each flower in the garden seems smiling
AS they watch for the suns golden CLEAN
Gods promise has never been broken
So whenever rainbow we see
We know that Father in Heaven
Will watch DER us wher'eer we may be-
