SENIOR PARTNER

If you have been in danger of succumbing
to the idea that government should take on
more and more activities, and that little
socialism" may be good thing, the following
from an article by M. S. Rukeyser in the New
York Journal American should prove of in-
terest: the Federal Government is the
partner Of every successful concern, taking
(in taxes) 80 per cent of the net profit of
bigger companies and up to 81 per cent of
the earnings of successful individuals.
THUS, when the Federal Government
ceases to compete directly with taxpaying
companies and individuals, it is contri-
bUting to the Well-being Of a national econ
0my, in which it has an enormous take as
tax collector"
ANY government policy which discour-
ages legitimate private enterprise hurts us
all. it destroys potential sources Of taxation
which means that the rest Of us must pay
more taxes. 1T prevents employment. 1t les
sens opportunity And it undermines thai
spirit of initiative and enterprise which il
the root Of all progress.

RED ARCHITECTS AssAaED

MOSCOW II (P) - Russia's ar
chitects want to be classified as
artists instead Of builders. They
have formally petitioned the Gov
ernment that they be transferred
to the Ministry Of Culture and taxi
en- away from the Ministry Of COn-
structiOn.
And this attitude. says Pravda,
is one Of the big reasons why So
Wet building especially residen-
tiaI-is too expensive, too inefi-
icent and too fancy on the outside
and uncomfortable on the inside,
the paper says
The faults Of Soviet building
were severely criticized at meet-

BIG CHANGE IN ATTITUDE

The public attitude toward chain stores
has undergone great and salutary change
in the last 20 years.
In the 80 it was argued that the chains
would destroy independent merchandising.
A punitive federal chain-stOre tax was pro-
posed. A number of states adopted such
taxes on their own hook.
Experience has cOnclusiYely proven that
the Independents had far more vigor and
competitive spirit and ability that those who
feared for their existence realized. The
proportion of the total retail business done
by them and by the chains has changed lit
tie over the years. Both kinds of stores are
major employers. Both make enormous
contributions to our well-being and our liv-
ing standards. Both are good citizens.
Many of the states which passed special
chain stores taxes have repealed them. The
present-day attitude toward the question is
found in statement made recently by the
i Indiana Commission on State Tax and
/ Financing Policy. 1t recommends that In
/ diana's graduated chain-store tax be aban-
doned And it quotes testimony from repre-
sentatives of the Associated Retailers Of In
diana which holds that "the former feeling
of bitterness on the part of independent
stores toward the chains no longer
exists" and that the special tax "in its ma.
ture is inequitable and unjustifable."
That is good neWs-fOr retailers, con
sumo~s, and al concerned.

CHINA TRIED 1T TOO

As long as there are people and govern
ments to govern them, the struggle of the
state versus the individual will go on.
Almost thousand years ago China ln-
dulged in ga little socialism" In the year
1869 that country was inflicted with wide
spread crop failure. The people were in dis
tress. The emperor established a "neW deal"
and issued a declaration of principles"
which stated that it was the duty of the gov
ernment to Glove the people and to procure
them the real advantages of life which are
plenty and pleasure" To accomplish this
object the state "shall enforce obedience
by wise and inhexible laws" 1t "shall take
possession of all the resources of the empire
and become the sole owner, master and en-
IplOyer. The state will then manage COM
merce, industry and agriculture with the
view of succOring working classes and pre-
venting their being ground to the dust by
the rich"
The poor were exempt from taxes and
land was assigned to farmers each year, the
Il seed distributed among them as necessary.
The government decreed the kind Of crops
to be grown. These reforms were to result
in abundance and happiness for all except
"usurers and mOnopOlists." Of course prices
were also regulated by the state. By 112e

OWNERS WANTED!

Wanted: More Owners of American Bus
iness." That is the title of a brief booklet by
Keith Funston, President of the New York
/ Stock Exchange, which has just been publish
/ ed by Harvard University's Graduate School
of Business Administration.
Mr.. Funston points out that investment
in stocks 'is the foundation upon which our
entire corporate financial structure rests.
! Yet in the postwar years, only eight per cent
of new long-term corporate funds have been
lprOVided by stock financing. For every dol
lar raised by new stock issues industry has
gone into debt almost SO and has supplied
close to So from retained earnings and depre-
citation reserves. Such heavy reliance on debt
financing, he warns, may imperil COM
pany's financial stability. And industry nc
longer has the accumulation of retained earn
ings which were available Immediately after
: World War H.
Over the long run, he continues, Ameri
can business will have to maintain its rate
of capital expenditure at or above the pres
ent level if it is to meet the needs of Oul
growing population, to continue to imprOv
our living standards, and to insure our con
Z tinued position as leader of the free world
He then states his belief that stock invest
ment should be trebled-frOm the pOstwa
( average of $4,000, 100000 to as much as S.
. 00,000,000. And we must look beyond tn
= wealthy for that-We must "lOOk to the mas
. savings Of millions of Americans for mas
3 investment" The goal he emissions, to quot
> him once again, is "an economic demOcrac
!, as potent as our political democracy"

In 257 colleges basic costs fall
within $500 and $1,000 year.
In 1872 colleges basic costs are
between $1,000 and $500 a year.
In 81 colleges basic costs exceed
$500 a year.
In az colleges basic costs are
less than $500 year.
These figures do not include a
long list of items for which costs
may vary considerably: books and
supplies, clothing, travel, laundry,
recreation, fraternity and other
dues, health, refreshments, charit-
able contributions, capital equip
ment such as slide rule, micro
scope, engineering drawing equip
ment, radio. AS rough approx
nation, the survey suggests it may
be necessary for families to add at
least another 5000, and possibly
more than S400 a year to the basic
college cost.
1T would seem that the amount
allowable for such expenses must
inevitably be governed by the in
dividual family's financial resourc-
es rather than by any average fig
ure," comments the survey.

Ducks And Geese
Plentiful In Ohio

There are still large numbers of
ducks and geese in Ohio according
to a late report by Ohio Division
of Wildlle Waterfowl Biologist,
Delmar Handley.
An aerial survey over the Lake
Erie marsh area, within the past
several days, showed some 10000
ducks and geese resting there,
many of them on the ice. At the
time the survey was taken, APP
proximately 1870 of the marsh and
500 of Sandusky Bay were frozen
over.
Large numbers of both ducks
and geese were seen on Magee
Wildlife Area and Metzger Marsh
Wildlife Area, both public shooting
areas under the supervision of the
Division of Wildlife.
Handley also reported that wat
erfowl now in Ohio are up 500
over the same period last year and
that there are more blue and snow
geese in the state than have been
seen for many years.
