VIII The Best Manager Wins
Soon over this fair land, a COM
plaisant captive of Indian Summer,
will spread America s annual moon
madness-W Worlds Series fever.
Early symptoms are discernible.
Grown men, still boys at heart
rich or poor, salesman or scientist,
clergyman, cobbIer or company ex-
ecutive-alre&dy are arguing happi-
ly over whether playing skill or
managerial strategy will determine
the winner.
Some of us, a lucky few, will be
on hand personally to test our OBJ
servation of "inside baseball, ex-
emplified best by the secrets of sig
mailing, as against individual skill
and prowess. This being work
day world, however, it is before a
radio or television set that millions
of fans will gather to follow breath
lessly every play of the October
classic.
But these fans too, through an
ingenious offer by a razor company
to its customer, can follow and
perhaps anticipate the ever-chang-
ing play on the diamond. This

Automobiles And Other Industries
Industries other than food would
also suffer. Manufacturing and re-
failing need not be directly affected.
OF course, all stores and factories
would need to be screened, as well
as all homes. Automobiles would
have to be screened, while all Pc
destrians might have to wear
masks. Certainly, Russia could
drastically upset our way of life.
All of this could either hasten
war with Russia or else result in
some folm of disarmament. This
is probably why President Eisen-
hover insists that no reduction be
made in defense appropriations or
foreign aid This means that our
present prosperity is on 'teeter
board" or "saw horse, so to speak.
Certainly we will hear much more
about FalIout, which could become
more important than missiles.

Although Russia could make

it will be the fear of Fallout or
the fear of peace which will bring
about unemployment and a business
collapse. The propaganda about
"clean bombs" by those persons
now prOfitting from the defense in
dustries is the bunk "Clean bombs"
can be built; but Russia will never
agree to their exclusive use. The
FaIlout is Russia's best bet.
Every reader of this column
should ask himself how either the
fear of Fallout or the fear of peace
and disarmament will affect his
community. his family, and his
business or investments. The Lon
dian Conference on Disarmament
is discussing the possibility of both
intensified Fallout and Disarma-
ment.
Every Congressman is trying to
determine how his constituents
would be affected by either. Mean
while the Atomic Energy Commits

FARM-CITY WEEK

It's only human nature to think that the
other fellows problems are less acute than
our own. This truism pretty well explains
the idea behind Farm-City Week, whose
third annual observance will take place dur
ing the Thanksgiving season, November 21-
%. 1t is designed to bring about better un-
derstanding between rural and urban peo-
pies, and it has caught the imagination of
farm, business and governmental leaders
alike.
Last year more than 5000 u. S. and Can
adian communities celebrated Farm-City
Week in one way or another. Practically
everyone in English and French speaking
North America read about it or heard about
it. The national hackers included farm or
ganiZations; agricultural supplers and pro-
ceSSors; general industrial manufacturers
and distributors; professional, trade and
service organizations of all kinds; the ma
tion's press, radio and television; agricultur
al educators, and so on down lengthy and
distinguished list The Department of Agri-
culture was an active participator, and the
Week was officially recognized by act of
Congress and by Presidential proclamation.
Even greater acceptance and participa-
tion are expected this year. national COM
mittee is now deeply involved in doing the
preliminary groundwork. KiwaniS lnterna-
tional is acting as the co-ordinatOr, as it
has in the previous year. This is primarily
'grass-roots" activity and nothing is being
left undone that may stir up interest.
The range of activities is naturally wide
and variable one. For example, one state
committee sponsored farmer-guest day lun-
cheonS; farm-urban buSineSSmen'S dinners
and banquetS; :; farm-industry tours; All
club recognition activities; joint carnivals,
parades, festivals and homecomings; farm
parties and picnics, and other meetings. A
city dramatized the Week by an exchange of
grade school youngsters between a metro
politan and a rural school. In another, a
chain store official spent day trying to run
big turkey farm, while the turkey farmer
tried his hand at running the chain store,
and a tremendous amount of publicity re-
suited. In still another, a day-long tour of
nearby farms was undertaken by local bus
inessmen-and these businessmen, accord
ing to the local newspapers account, found
that todays farmer is no longer a country
pumpkin, but is a businessman himself with
as many or more business problems than his
urban counterparts.
In addition to all the local observances, a
number of "aigh-visibility projects bring.
home the F2rm-City Week theme to the u.
S. and Canadian people as a whole, through
radio and TV network shows, press associ-
alton and magazine stores, etc. A 1856 eX-
ample of one of these projects was a re-en-
actment of the first Thanksgiving dinner at
Plymouth, Massachusetts, followed immedi-
ately by a modern Thanksgiving dinner
showing the bounty of Americas farms,
ranches and fisheries.
The Importance of the week is indicated
by the fact that in 1855 it was given the
Freedoms Foundations highly coveted Dis
tinguished Service Award. And its hackers
are determined that the observance shall be
bigger and better and more productive than
ever this year.

1888 TAX CHIT


One thing that seems to be obvious, as
far as the Eighty-Fifth Congress is concern
ed, is the probability of an income tax cut at
the next session. We have been in favor OF
reduction in income taxes since the Korean
War ended and we believe that one is over
due.
Between now and next January, voters IN
all the states will have the opportunity to
talk with their senators and congressman
about the sort of tax cut they favor. At the
present session, sentiment favored cut
next year. Several proposals have been ad-
vanced in the House and Senate.
AS usual, there will be politics involved
in the tax reduction BILL The Democrats and
Republicans, may be inclined to reduce taxes
for the little man-since there are more little
men than wealthy men and, therefore, there
are more votes to be gained.
However, there is very good case for
reducing income taxes in the higher, as well
as in the lower brackets. For example, if
income taxes are reduced relatively little in
the lower income brackets the Government
loses several billion dollars in revenue. Yet
small reductions in the highest brackets
would grant relief in these brackets while
causing a small revenue loss to the Govern
ment. So, it appears obvious that tax re-
ductions should be granted for both the
lower and upper bracket groups.
While we believe that those who make
more should pay more taxes, we do not be-
lieve in the ''Soak the Rich" tax philosophy,
since one can destroy initiative, incentive
and business expansion if taxes with un-
reasonably high rates are maintained

THE MOMENTS VOTE

If women do not decide the presidential
race in 1860, they probably will do so before
long. The Census Bureau estimates that in
that year there will be SO, ,250,000 men Of 81
years of age and over, and 55,500,OO0 women
The women's majority of 3,250,00O will be
a gain from 1856, when it was about 2OOO,-
900. So if the women all stood together, they
could elect their choice regardless of the
men.
If they all stood together. AS everyone
knows, they do not, any more than men do.
Also, though exact figures are not available,
the experience in most states is that more
women than men fail to vote. Despite the
part that women play in business and civic
life, many are still uninterested in politics
Nor is this surprising. The woman suf-
frage amendment to the Constitution is only
a little more than a generation old It take
more time than that for a radically new idea
to take hold fully.
The difference in male and female voting
records will grow gradually less and less
With males now minority and steadily get
ting more so. the presidential candidate of
the future is likely to address his campaign
more and more to what he considers the wo-
mans point of view. This conclusion is hard
on the male ego, but it is one of the political
facts of life.

had been faulty and helped to
contribute to the situation which
eliminated in the British
