County Attempt to Sell
Courthouse FuiIs Again
By the Associofed Press


TAMPA, Fla, Sept. 8.-Anybody
want to buy courthouse?
Hillsborough County tried for
the second time to sell one yester-
day. There were no takers either
time.
Real estate men said the lack
of bids may be because of the
county's minimum price of $776,-
900 and because in a public sale,
a real estate dealer cannot be
offered a commission.
County commissioners said they
will try to sell the building by
private transaction.
A buyer would get possession in
about year, when the new 81, $780,
900 courthouse is to be finished.

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE
SAYING
A TIME TO BE HEARD
(From the FARM JOURNAL)

Every thoughtful American favOrs defense pro-
gram that will keep the u S. free. The big defense
job alone means high taxes. However let's ieave
that to one side Let's just look at the non-derense
picture
The Federal non-military expenditures of our
government in 1880 were $27 billions Last year
they were $27.8 billions. Ten times as much! Was
government ten times as useful to the people ana
every dollar of taxes comes one way or another
from the earnings of the people.
The Administration has encouraged the illusion
that heavier taxation will reduce the imitation. That's
the natural idea for the power-hungry politicians
around Mr.. Truman to adopt. They get to spend the
tax money. They spend all they get and some II
do not take it, people can spend II themselves
it.
Can you explain why it causes imitation for you
to spend dollar you earn, but does not cause inha
tiOn if the government spends it?
Suppose you buy a pound of hamburger. Sure,
that's demand against the meat supply Could be IN
hatOnary
Suppose you get government job, and from
your tax-paid salary buy a pound of hamburger.
1t that less infatiOnary?
If taxes were high enough so that the govern
ment took in as much as it spends, more infa-
ton would result. Why? Because every one would
try to raise his wages prices to get enough extra
money to pay his taxes, and to keep his take-home
pay the better. More taxes are not the right
answer to imitation.
The right answer is fairer taxes and less spend
ing among other things.
No Administration voice is raised for less spend
ing We heard Secretary of the Treasury Snyder the
other day insist that the people must be encouraged
to be thrifty and buy bonds He said not wore
about encouraging the government to be thrifty.
The Hoover Report two years ago showed hov
$54 billions could be saved just by improved govern
ment housekeeping What happened. About 81 bill
lions worth out of 800 definite suggestions wer
adopted by the last Congress. This Congress ha
adopted just one, and the other $35 billions still
goes down the waste spout Senator Byrd and Othe
authorities says that So billions to $40 billions ca
be cut out.
Plainly, the government does not have to cos
$27 billions for non-mtary services. But it will g
costing that much and more as long spendin
gets more votes than savings. Those who neve
protest always counted in favor of spending.
How we'll does the Administration know what
is doing? Last February President Truman said ths
the government would need SIG billions in new take
to pay it's this year. In April Secretary Snydt
thought $40 billions would do Now the House hs
passed politically designed bill for $72 billions
bill that will encourage imitation, reduce the ncel
tive to work and that is thoroughly unscientif
1t is before the Senate.
. The appropriations still to come Will Il
people get out their pens and pencils and tell Co
gress to stop throwing their money away?
Elections are only IA months away. Now is
good time to be heard.

BABSON Discusses Schools

present price controls are the bunk These laws
enacted to fool the voters and to make more jobs
for Democrats To reduce the cost of living, we
must start with the schools and teach the children
to love work instead of to love play. Turn to the
yearbook which your high school seniors issue and
you will see that 80 per cent of it is given to the
various xtra-currcular activities This long name,
used to fool us parents really refers to sports, clubs
and other things which teach children to spend
money instead of to earn it. have never found in
one of these yearbOoks the account of a spelling or
mental arithmetic contest
It may be that the merchants don't want lower
prices, but want the children taught to be spenders
The merchants root for bands, baseball football and
other athletics But agan-I say, don't blame the
school principals. They are simply giving the par
ents what they demand. AS long parents are
primarily interested in whom the high school en-
ploys as an athletic coach, we have only ourselves
to blame.
WE WANT RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
am glad to say that the Bible continues to be
read in Gloucester every morning. But the SchOo
Committee no longer seeks teachers who regularly
attend church or teach in Sunday School. woman
who smoked or went TO cocktail parties would ther
never be hired as teacher. This change for tht
worse is wholly due to parents who have substi
tuted canasta for family prayers, and cocktail par
ties for mid-week church services.
We blame Juvenile delinquency upon the schools
We criticize the schools when boys break window
and the students go on strikes; but again the par
ents are to blame. Parents seem to be interested il
only one thng-not what their children learn-bu
to have their children get diploma. Even Parent
Teacher Associations seem more interested in tn
childrens sports than in their studies. OF course
some day parents will their present mistakes
and demand returning to fundamentals. This doe
not mean that we should return to the outhouse'
wood stoves and bambOos but it does mean that

it sounded like good one. Mr.. Nc

In another resolution, the fedora

move on the part OF the federal
government to take land in Della

out first holding public hearings.
A third resolution calls for more
educational work on the part Of the
federation. It suggests that PAM

conservation be made available to
the schools.

The convention heard number
of experts discuss conservation
practices. and means of improving
the supply of fish and game.
Norman G. Wilder, director OF
conservation in Delaware, presented
a paper on the farm game program,

being provided on farms.

SUICIDAL PROGRESSION

Some plain and accurate words on the
subject of price control as it applies to beef
were recently written by Paul E. Belcher of
the First National Bank of Akron, Ohio. Mr..
Belcher observed, 1.-THE supply of beef will
be materially reduced if the price rOlback
remains effective over long period. Hoard
ing will be stepped up until ratiOning stops
the practice. Demand which would have
been satisfied with beef, had it been avail
able. will be transferred to other kinds Of
meat. I'm consequence, the quantity Of pork,
mutton and poultry now available will be In
sufficient to GO round The scarcity thus
created will cause the price to rise II
choice has to be made, which is better: little
meat at a dollar pound or plenty OF meat
at 10 per cent or even 20 per cent above that
figure? The English government followed the
first course for many months before the
stomachs of Englishmen throughout Britain
finally forced reconsideration by cabinet
members"
The Saturday Evening Post quoted Mr..
Belcher's remarks in an editorial called
price Control by Itself Is No Cure for In
flation." In part, the Post commented, 1.-The
point made by Mr.. Belcher is never made by
the advocates of controls-n namely, that price
fixing without rationing is unwOrkable and
that, either way, price control tends to reduce
the available supply of the commodity con-
trolled Instead, people are led to believe
that all that is necessary to provide ham,
burgers at a low price is few jail sentences
for profiteers The Administration stands
or falls on price controls and rOllbacks."
1t is commonly observed that no one
wants rationing, and that is certainly true
But controls always breed more and greater
controls-until fully regimented economy is
achieved, and the free enterprise system t.
which we all pay lip service is strangled II
political red tape. If we mean to avoid tha
suicidal progression, the time for corrective
action is now.

THE CONTROLS CHAMP

The President continues trying to pose as
the champion of controls. Republican Senator
Homer Capehart of Indiana, Minority MEM
ber of the Banking and Currency Commit
tee, has ripped the mask off this dodge with
a whitening blow-by-blOw account Of his
tory. The President waited until month
after the Korean War started to ask Con-
gress for controls legislation. In that short
interval alone the consumer price index rose
i.9 per cent and the wholesale price index
4.4 per cent. But on August 1, $780, the
President wrote the Senate Committee that
price control was not necessary, and repeated
the performance before press conference
ten days later.
Republicans pressed for all-out controls,
but a compromise was reached in September.
BY that time, the wholesale price index had
Jumped rs per cent and the consumer index
2.6 per cent. When the Chinese Communists
entered the Korean War in November the
wholesale and consumer price indexes were
up another 9 and 4.6 per cent respectively.
But controls still were not in effect. During
the following 80 days Truman only promised
to invoke the law, while wholesale price index
scared still another five per cent and con-
sumner prices three per cent. Republicans
have again advocated firm cOntrOls-just as
they did in the first place.
