Men in top pOsitiOns-in the face of the ire
mendOus military emergency that has been
forced upon discontinue Spending-aS-usual
in all directions. They are urging a plan for
compulsory government medical insurance
which would cost $6,OOO,OO0,OOO or more a
year, and which would open the door to So
cialiZed medicine. They are urging an agri-
cultural scheme, the Brannan plan, whose
cost is beyond estimate, and which would
have to be paid for by the farmers and every
one else. They are continuing their efforts
to break up some of our larger enterprises
including industries which are most neces-
sary to the national defense and to the pro-
secution of war if war should come again.
They are continuing their efforts to sOcialize
America The attacks on the light and power
industry are the most outstanding example
of this. If these men are successful, this
great industry will be absorbed by govern
ment at tremendous cost to all the taxpayers,
and run by bureaucrats-despit the prob
able fact that the industry is completely able
to meet any conceivable demand for service,
at the lowest possible cost. The record could
be continued indefinitely. It is one thing to
talk easily of sacrifice. It is another to ac-
tually make a few sacrifices, no matter how
mild they may be. So far the service men
and their families are the only ones who sac
rifice. When will the politicians set some sort
of an example in government?

A short time ago, the 1850 observance of
Fire Prevention Week took place. It is Of
ficially over. But, if Americans are at all in
terested in the health and welfare of them
selves and their families, they will make
every week a fire prevention week. Safety
from fre-whether in the home, on farm,
or in an industrial plant-can only be achiev-
ed by continuous, day-in-and-day-Out work
That's doesn't mean it's hard job. 1t isn't
For the most part, it's easy. But it is a job
which can never be neglected if we wish to
avoid possible disaster. The home which is
safe today can be extremely dangerous to-
morrow. An electric wire becomes frayed-
a stove or a heating plant goes out of adj
acknowledgements is careless with cigar
cites - fammable materials are carelessly
stored in closets and explosive liquids
and Oil-SOaked rags are placed where the
touch of a spark would set them ablaZe. 1t
is little things" such as these that are re-
spOnsible for the majority of fires. And it is
these "little things which we must look out
'fOr-nOt during one week, but every week
Of the year. The nations fire loss continues
at disgracefully high levels. Far worse is
the fact that, each year, fire claims some
thing like 10000 lives-many of them in
fants and children. Many thousands more
are permanently manned and disfgured
This is the price we pay for our carelessness
and ignorance. This is the grave problem
which the annual fire prevention weeks are
designed to help us solve. We can do it, if
we only have the will

have to change things. Using Kor-
ca as a handy starting point, they
are arbitrarily Tightening the cred
it restrictions on home financing.
They now require stable down
payments from veterans who had
been led to believe they needed
only dependable source of income
to qualify for VA financing of a
modest home. They have increas-
ed the amounts of down-payments
required from nOn-veterans to as
much as 500 of the cost of the
houses and they have shortened
| the mortgage amortization period.
The planners say they are do
ing this to hold the line against the
home front enemy, imitation. What
they neglect is that last year, in
the face of declining prices, the
home building industry produced
100000 hOmes-more homes than
had ever been built anywhere in
any twelve-mOnths period. The
truth is that money spent on homes
represents an investment in dur
able goods. 1t siphons off income
that might go for luxuries. It sta
bilizes the economy.
The home builders say they're
willing to go down the line on
sound policies that will help Ma
tiOnal defense. But, they point
out, home building uses few criti-
cal war materials. 1t doesn't make
sense to cut back on home con-
struction when we are still a long
way from filling the backlog of de-
mand for decent homes for all
Americans.
Nothing would please the enc
mics of our American way of life
more than the hasty Gripping of
Americas second largest industry
and the denial of home ownership
to men and women who believed it
was a part of their distinctive Am
erican birthright.
It's something for the planners
to think about!

PROFIT IN A GOOD YEAR

A great many people apparently still
believe that profits and dividends to stock
holders are among the biggest items in the
ledger sheets of industry. But the fact is
that they are among the smallest. AS an
example, take the 1949 financial experience
of corporation which is one of the largest
and most successful in the world, and which
produces automobiles and trucks, household
appliances and other goods. This company
is not chosen because it had a poor profit
recOrd-indee0, in that respect it did far bet
ter than the average corporation. In 1919,
it had total income of $5,725, 100000. And
here is how each dollar of that money was
spent First, more than so cents went to
suppliers, for materials and services needed
to carry on the cOmpany's production pro-
gram. Second, trife more than 26 cents
went to employees. Third, 1O-centS-plus
went to government for taxes. Fourth, a
little less than two cents was set aside to
provide for depreciation and ObsOlescence of
plants and uipment-machineS wear out
and must be replaced. Fifth, little more
than six cents went to the owners of the
Ompany-434, 900 stockholders. Finally, the
remainder, about five cents, was retained for
use in the business. In 1949, this corpora
TONS dividends on each share of common
stock were almost twice as great as in 1913.
YET, even so, the owners received only about
a fourth as much as the wOrkers-and not
much mere than half as much as govern
ment Profit is relatively small item in the
cost Of carrying on American business.

GO TO THE BALLOT BOX

The ballot box stands between a free
people and enslavement. The right to vote
is the strongest defense we have against OPP
preston. Few people will deny this. Yet
huge numbers of Americans, who regard
themselves as good and patriotic citizens,
fail to take advantage Of their greatest priv
ilege. In local elections, it is common for less
than half of the eligible voters to go to the
polling booths. Even in national elections, in
which men are running for the highest Of
fees, and in which issues and principles of
the utmost moment are at stake, millions of
us don't vote. The result, of course, is gov
eminent by minority-there is no way to
measure the views and opinions of the man
who fails to exercise the right Of franchise.
Government of the people is possible only
when the people make their stand known
and that can be done only at the ballot box.
On November 7th, there will be another cleo
ton of great Importance. The control of Con-
gresS will be decided. The Presidential cam
paign of 1852 will be strongly influenced by
what happens this November. Policies which
will determine the future of the nation, for
good or i'll, will be established The majority
will rule, as usual But the true voice of the
majority can never be known if again. as in
the past, millions of people who possess the
right to vote shirk their duty and RESPONSE
bility. Study the candidates and the issues
Make up your mind as to which of them, in
your opinion, can do the most to keep this
country strong, solvent and free And then
vote.

WHO is SACRIFICING" WHAT?

One of the most overwOrked words in the
current American lexicon is sacrifice" Prac-
tically everyone in high position in the gov
eminent has felt it necessary to stress the
need for sacrifices on the part of the people.
Thus, the President recently said, 'SThe farm
er, the wage Garner, the businessman must
each be satisfied to work more for the good
of all and to make little less for himself. In
return, your government will do its utmost
to see that the necessary sacrifices are equal
ly shared and that the common effort brings
the maximum return in world strength for
the cause of freedom" Those are splendid
words. But the fact remains that many men
in the government seem to have a warped
idea of what sharing sacrifice involves. A
relative few are really making sacrifices now.
Those who fought in Korea have sacrificed.
Those who died there made the ultimate sac

TO speak of sacrifice, for they are examples
OF 1t. The rest of us are not sacrificing any
thing. We are paying higher taxes, it is true
but that is simply an unpleasant burden.

following our daily routines pretty much in
the normal manner. And our government Of

The Government of the United
States and it's Capital City of
Washington wObbles, and is very
much out of joint. One pencil
pusher says that the Communist
enemies believe that the United
States is Weak-and that's WHY
they Keep picking on us. Another
prominent correspondent suggests
that "Our minds must be gradually
and systematically conditioned
and that America must wake up to
find that we are rather slack on
clear ideas" at a time when we
are holding up our resistance
against Stain and his murderous
crews. Never mind our politicians
they'll look after themselves. The
thing to do is to stand by the
United States.
"GraSs Roots Are Immortal"
We Americans are proud of our
cities and the newspapers publish
ed IN them-particularly about at
tention to the affairs of our nation.
But the great majority of our
people do not live in large cities.
There are more than million
square miles of land in our cOun-
try. There are states, cities, oceans,
lakes, rivers galore. But small cit
les, villages and towns are the
real backbone of America.
The National Industries News
Service covers 1000 newspapers
many times a year. The circula-
ton of all these newspapers grows
and grows.
The ruling classes of the United
States are farmers. They read
local newspapers.
Some of the smart guys" of the
country tried at one time to poke
fun at THE Grass Roots" But
thousands of editors liked the term

was invented by CITY PEOPLE
who really seem to be jealous of

sharing for pension plans Profit sharing offers
small business one of the soundest ways possible to
finance pensions. It takes much of the burden OF
the employer pad-pension from the shoulders OF
the small businessman. He shares his profits only
when the employee has helped create those profits
through high production. Employees like it too
because the bigger the melon they create the big
ger the pension and the wage.
The plan would be to put all this proft-sharing
money into pension reserve to which the employer
would add certain proportion. But to make it a
success each employees pension would probably
need be different depending upon the individuals
own productivity. Such plan can, however be
applied only to a small business and where labor
unions do not control
