SURVEY ON INITIATION

Some time ago the Psychological Corpor-
alton, under the direction of DR.. Henry G.
Link, conducted a 5,000-interview survey in
which this question was asked: Because of
imitation, the dollar will buy less today than
two or three years ago. Which one Of these
three reasons is most to blame: labor unions
pushing up wages; high company profits !;
high government spending and borroWing?"
OF the 5000 people interviewed, 40 per cent
said government spending and borrowing !;
18 per cent said rising wages; IA per cent
said big profits, and 19 per cent we're un-
certain. In all income and educational
groups, the answers were in about the same
proportion. The fact that nearly half Of this
typical group of citizens realize that govern
ment spending and fiscal policies are the
major cause Of imitation is a fine sign. In the
past, great many of us have fixed our at
tentiOn on the symptoms of imitation while
totally overlooking the causes of this eco
nomic disease. A good example Of that fall
ure to see the forest because Of the trees is
found in periodic. demands that retail stores
at once cut their prices or face consumer
boycotts. Here is a case where one of the
victims Of imitation is made goat. The re-
taller has no control over the prices he must
pay for his goods, his profit margins are
very small, and he is helpless as the rest of
rs. Ia any event, the only hope for checking
initiation lies ia a vigorous reform within
the government and an about-face in pres
ent spending and borrowing policies. An
awakening public must demand that that be
done. and without pr0crastinatiOn.

WHAT DOES HE PLANT WHO
PLANTS A TREE?

For two hundred years cOnserva-
ton of forests in the United States
has been important to wise conser-
vatiOnists The greatest success
has been found when individual
communities have become aroused.
William Penn was probably the
first cOnservatiOnist when in 1882
he decreed that for every five acres
of cleared land one acre of forest
land should be maintained. This
decree was a community dictum
i. and the people themselves were
enthusiastic in carrying it out. In
1904 the Massachusetts Society gave
premiums for growing trees. This
was then followed by a period Of
of Federal expansion which lasted
until after the war between the
states many laws regarding
forestry were passed by Govern
ment decree. Practically all this
legislation did not originate with
the people but rather in the legis-
latures. Little good came from it.
Then a small voice.. Sterling
Morton-Of Nebraska gave conser-
vation back to the people by inau-
gurating Arbor Day, a celebration
that belonged to each community,
hence important to the individuals.
The press Of the nation carried
the conservation idea to every ham
let and every farm in the nation.
This simple idea is now taking
practical form in a determination
of the people to conserve forests
and plant trees with the various
states providing the research facil-
tiles so that the best methods and
practices, as well as sturdy seed
lings are available to you. Let ev-
cry day be Arbor Day to us. What
does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants an investment in bene-
fits to himself and also, as Cicero
said, "he who plants trees will
benefit another generation"
Milford chronicle., 1951-05-04
INITIATION STILL GROWS

The nation has been given a series of top
fight stories lately-inclUding the Fulbright
investigation of shennanigans in the RFC,
the Kefauver investigation of big-tlme Gamb-
ling with its resulting municipal corruption,
the sentencing of death of two Americans
who acted as A-bomb infOrmants for the
Russians, and the dismissal of General Mac
Arthur and his dramatic return home to de-
fend his position and policies. Such events
as these naturally dominate the headlines.
But, regardless of the big stories, the Amer
ican people and their government must keep
on dealing with the everyday problems of
living in tOdays complex and difficult world.
Among these problems, imitation still holds
top place. Some people think the present
controls are doing as well as can be expect
ed, some think them almost a complete flop.
But just about everyone must now realize
that prices are not going to return to long
ago levels, that the probabilities are that
they will continue to rise, and that the great
American dollar isn't what she used to be.
TOdav's dollar has lost tWO-thirds of its
worth since 1900 and is still slipping. 1t has
lost six cents of its value in the last year
alone. There is more money in relation to
the volume of goods than there ever was.
That is what is making money less valuable.
we have all felt the effect Of this person
ally. The Wall Street Journal recently ran
aiseries. Of feature stOries, dealing with the
current financial experiences of actual fam
lies in widely varying income brackets. The
articles went into full detail as to how much
money came in and how it was spent-food,
rents and mortgages, clothing recreation,
ETC. The incomes ranged from around $50
a week for an Industrial worker, to $4,000
year for an executive. In every case, the
families were finding the shedding tough.
None were saving anything to speak of, some
were drawing on past savings, some were
slipping deeper into debt. Their incomes had
gone up over recent years-bUt higher living
costs and heavier taxes had more than Offset
this gain. 1t is next to impossible to estab-
lish sizable estate nOW-living costs, in
come taxes, and finally death taxes are re-
spOnsible for that And money even as it
buys less, will bring in less return when it
is invested. In 1900, an accumulation Of
$4,000 would return 81 800 when safely in
vested, and that $1,000 would go a long way.
Today safely invested estate of 900
brings in only about $3.50 a year, and the
$3.50 buys little These are facts. AS for
proposed cures, it would take thick book
to adequately outline them. But the facts
alone indicate why more and more people
are taking a real interest in initiation and
urging that something effective be done about
it. And when it comes to that, the great bulk
of economists are convinced that the first
step lies in drastic changes in the spending,
credit and taxing policies of the central gov
ernment

AN INJUSTICE 70 THE NATION


1t is generally believed that all forms of
commercial transportation are regulated,
and that, therefore, all are pretty much on
an equal footing when it comes to competing
for business. That idea contains a serious
misconception. 1t is true that all the carriers
are regulated to some extent-but only the
railroads are regulated in every phase of
operation. And, of the greatest Importance,
the railroads are the only carrier which must
wholly support itself from its revenues. The
airlines, for example, are directly Subsidized
with mail payments, and are indirectly sub
sidized through government navigation aids,
municipal airpOrts, and other highly eXpen-
sive taxpayer-borne benefits and services.
The users of the inland waterways are in
much the same position. The highway car
riers have been tho subject of great and con-
flicting argument. But factual surveys made
in state after state have shown that the dam
age they do to roads and streets and high
ways goes far beyond the money paid by
them in licenses and other fees, and that the
public, at large is subsidizing them heavily.
The railroads, by contrast build and main
tain their own tracks, terminals, depOts and
everything else they use and upon which they
pay heavy taxes. They don't receive a dime
of tax subsidy either direct or indirect Yet
they are expected to compete with the car
riers who live in part from the public trea-
suries. This is more than an injustice to the
railroads. 1t is an injustice to the taxpayers,
and to the nation which looks to the railroads
for ever-expanding service

Fu|bright TO Support
Truman as Nominee
BY the Associoied Press

Senator Fulbright. Democrat,
Of Arkansas, will support Presi-
dent Truman if he is the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee in
1852, the Senator said last night.
He didn't say whether he would
support him at the convention.
Appearing on radio program,
Senator Fulbright predicted VIC
tory for the Democratic ticket
next year based on the Admin
istration'S record"
Senator Fulbright headed the
Senate inquiry subcommittee
which reported that Government
lending policies had been influ-
enced by a ring with White House
contacts. But he said II can't
see how that can be a detriment
to the Administration"
Relations between Senator Full
bright and Mr.. Truman have been
somewhat cool ever since the
Senator suggested, after the Re-
publicans won control Of Con-
gress in 1916, that the President
should resign after naming a Re-
publican Secretary of State who
would then become President.
