The Right To Swing Your Arm nds
Exactly Where His Nose Begins

We are of the opinion that any person or
group Of persons have every reasonable right
under the laws Of this nation to protect their
own interests; however, there is limit to
which all persons or group of persons can
go in their efforts to do so.
And the best way of which we know to
put it is summed up in an old, old quote:
"The right to swing your arm ends exactly
where his nose begins" And so it does, too
That to u.s. appears to be just plain COM
mon sense and decency. We know, of course,
that too many do not hold with the theory
that others have rights. We have specific
reference to the letter printed below written
by an officer of union in Pittsburg, Pa.

a Question For Labor & Government -
Where Do Profits 60?

What does corporation do with the pro-
fits it earns? The obvious answer is that it
divides them up among the owners - the
investors whose savings made the existence
Of the corporation possible.
But it isn't always SO simple as that. AS
the American Economic Foundation points
out, There are many cases every year in
which corporations are forced by circum-
stances to overstate their profits and pay
taxes on income that should not be taxed
This is the result of two factors = initiation,
and the federal law covering depreciation of
the value of the tools used in production
The Foundation provides an actual ex-
ample. 1t concerns steel company, but all
manner of other companies are in the same
boat. In 1880, this steel producer built.a plant
costing about $40 million. Now that plant
must be replaced - and at today's labor and
material prices the bill will come to $64 mil
lion.

Meditation Chcfe
Construction Set
For Miss. Southern

Construction of a Meditation
Chapel, designed to further en-
rich" the religious life of Missis-
sippi Southern College students,
will possibly start before Jan. l.
Target date for construction
was set by DR.. William D. Nc
Cain, college president, in an
nouncing that bids have been adj
vertised and are to be opened Oct.
3.
Board of trustee approval and
authorization from the Building
Commission cleared the way for
the building, to be located imme-
diately behind the college audi
forum.
Scheduled to cost $4,000, the
unit will be named the Danforth
Chapel, after a principal contrib
utor. DIR. Mccain announced that
the Danforth Foundation had Civ
en- $4,000 for construction, with
$4,000 coming from other priv
ate sources.
The chapel climaxes a move
ment by former President R. C,
Cook, who instigated the drive to
raise the necessary money. 1t will
be non-denominational in charac-
ter. Among the uses it will be put
to will be mid-week vesper serv-
ices, monday prayer meetings
private meditations and student
and former student weddings.

Club Hears Report On Solar Power
And Talk On Proposed Park Site

Members of the Petal Optimist
Club heard OFT Brockman of
Southern Bell Telephone and Tel
egraph Company discuss, while
giving an actual demonstration, of
the use of solar power at their
regular weekly meeting last
Thursday night.
Mr.. Brockman spoke on the
present use being made of solar
power by the telephone company.
and discussed the future plans be-
ing made by Bell Laboratories in
connection with it as a means of
power used in communications
In addition to the talk by Brock
man, the club heard a report on
the land which they are consid-
ering buying for their park. Mr..
0. R. Mozingo, who owns the land,
told of the work he had done to
improve the site. He explained
that the land had sewer facilities
installed at the present time.
Vice president of the club, Bur
rel c. Young, was in charge of the
meeting, in the absence of the
clubs president, DR.. o. N. Ash

The next regular meeting is set
for tonight, when Athletic Direc-

Far from being isoationist am |, but it seems to
me that Government spending could be put business
oasis Tor change In 1889 theaverage expenditure per
person In this nation something like $4,000 per year.
Today, with tremendous population increase the aver
age per spent by the Government is about $4,000
vi course, it takes quite bit if the Government is to
subsldize damned everyone, at home and abroad
Admittedly, books could be written this subject too
but just detail of poor Government business manag-
ment is in the Army Surplus business Practically
every town of any size has Army Surplus store in
which you buy hundreds of items made for the
ed forces which, for some unknown to me- have
become surplus Understand, I not criticizng the
operators of such stores If such surplus exists
thing should be done with it, surey) My question is
this Why buy in such quantities have such excess
sive waste left overs? No business operating such
would ever buy like the Government does They'd be
broke in matter of months Why can't the brains in
Washington operate the business of Government like
business? Possibly they don't realize it, but with per
capita expenditure of four hundred bucks year.
plus the fact that the Government presently in debt
to the tune of $700 per person. there breaking point
could be wrong, but am of the opinion that nation
can long endure headover-heels in debt and it
keeps increasing. Foreign aid? Sure Armed Forces?
Sure. But in the of comon sense, why waste it?
Oh well, I'm just Dixiecrat at heart suppose.

The company, through the depreciation
allowance the law allows, has recovered the
original $40 million. But the remaining $54
million must come out of the profits = the
profits that are left after taxes have been
paid.
In order to earn S54 million after taxes,
this company has to earn SIP, 100000 before
taxes. Putting it another way to pay for re-
placing that one plant, the company has to
spend the profits resulting from $500 million
of sales to its customers = about one-seventh
of it's total sales.
Many believe that this is highly inequi-
table situation that sorely needs correcting
by law. Without arguing the pros and cons
of that, however, it should be evident to us
all that profits are not always what thew
seem = and that, additionally, good indus
trial profits are absolutely essential to this
nations growth and material welfare =
