Where Is 1t Now?

Well over sixty years ago, this
writer accompanied his mother
to visit an old lady who lived in
the second house on the south
side of Main street in Olive, when
entering from Caldwell. This
house still stands. The original
part was of log construction.
While the house has been added
to and weather boarded, I doubt
not that the logs are still in the
walls. This is said to be the oldest
house in Olive.
Also, directly south of the
house across the B. z. & c. Rail-
road tracks, there stood a mon
strous elm, the largest l have
ever seen in all my travels.
doubt not that it was larger than
the famous Marietta elm. Part of
this tree may be still standing.

New Departure

The House of Representatives
last week set the stage for pio-
neering a new field Of govern
ment when it passed the Small
Business Investment Company
Bill. The Senate had passed the
measure some weeks ago. The
House version differs in some
minor points and these differenc-
es will need to be worked out in
Senate-House conference before
the completed bill can be sent to
the White House for approval of
the President.
l am somewhat critical of the
legislation, not just because it
costs a quarter Of a billion dol
lars the first year and possibly
more in succeeding years, but be-
cause it is a legislative device
whereby federal money, after
changing hands through an in
vestment company, is available
for investment in small business
enterprises.
Few will argue that there are
many privatelyowned firms
which have need for investment
capital. Similarly, the evidence is
clear that businesses very often
| have great difficulty in finding
this kind Of financing since banks
and other lending institutions Of
ten are not authorized or do not
desire to make loans or invest
ments of this type. The need for
the funds is pretty well conced-
ed. However, if there is one thing
that Americans have cause to
fear, it is government ownership
| and government control of bust
ness. Thus, if the government di-
rectly advanced the funds for
equity capital, there would be
government control and even
though the investment was minor,
it would amount to government
ownership to a degree. The voice
of minority shareholders in a
company can sometimes become
powerfully woodland would be
especially SO if the minor share
holder should happen to be the
Federal Government.
This bill attempts to avoid the
taint of government control by
the ingenious device of provid-
: ing funds for the organization o.
investment companies incorporat.
ed by private individuals. These
companies then loan money tc
: provide long-term equity capita
secured by convertible deben-
lures. This is intended to break
the chain between the Fedora
5 Government which is the source
S of most of the funds, and the
: small-business borrower. The re
= suits may be surprising, indeed
when Uncle Sam assumes the new
. role of silent partner in the in
! dividual small business. The ques
ton worth pondering is, will ht
a remain silent partner?

Presidents Pensions

The dog days of Congress occur
about this time of year when the
nation would be better served by
any early adjournment. All sorts
of legislative schemes appear and
occasionally are passed when
they should have been killed. A
prime example, in my estimation,
is the bill to provide pensions,
free mailing privileges, suitable
office space and stenographic as
sistance for former Presidents.
With so many important mea-
sures which could be considered
I am not sure that / can agree
that the session needs to be pro-
longed to attend to matters such
as these. Were we to concede that
pension would be desirable
there would seem to be no justi-
fication for the other emoluments
of past office. No similar treat
ment has ever before been ac-
corded a class of American citi-
zens. No need has been demon
strated for this legislation. Meth
er of the living ex-Presidents are
what one might call penniless and
they can and have adjusted their
letter writing and other literary
pursuits to their own tempera-
ment and disposition. When the
day comes, if it does, that we
have a President or Presidents
widow in financial distress the
Congress will act quickly, and the
people will certainly support such
action.

The pedestrian public in Cald-

supply of food sufficient to main
tain an adequate diet for more than
two years. We have four-year
supply of bread grains.
The Communist Bloc has a
population of almost a billion
people, nearly one half Of whom are
farmers. But, the thirty million
American and Canadian farmers
have the capacity to produce more
than almost half a billion COM
munists.
We Are Gaining.
Farm experts tell us that we are
operating our agricultural plant
at only about 1879 of capacity this
year while producing an all-tiTne
record supply of farm products.
Our capacity to produce is being
expanded at a rate of more than
SO a year.
Nineteen years ago, when World
War III broke out in Europe,
American farmers produced 2N
billion bushels of corn on 80 million
acres. This year they viii produce
$3.50 more corn on 1879 fewer acres.
In 1899 we harvested TAO million
bushels of wheat from So million
acres, but this year we are growing
l.3 billion bushels, almost twice as
much, on 10 million fewer acres.
Cotton acreage has been cut by
more than half since l949, but total
production is down only SO. Milk
production is up 25go, but cow
numbers are down by 20%. Total
farm production is up 409o, but
the number of farmers is down by
one-third. American production per
acre is double that of Russia, and
per farmer it is eight times the
Russian average.

Developments in the Middle East
have caused Washington to look
upon our So billion stockpile of
farm commodities as one Of our
strongest assets instead of the
burdensome liability of only few
weeks ago.
In an area of the world where
hunger is always present, and
starvation is a constant threat, an
abundance of food supplies gives
the Free World an advantage that
can, in the long run, be more
decisive than nuclear weapons.
Last summer, Nil<ita Khruschev
told an American teleyision audi
ence that Communism would win
its contest with Capitalism when
the Soviet's per-capita production
of meat, milk and butter surpassed
that of the United States.
He was reminding us that a
nation is as strong as its agriculture,
and he was acknowledging that the
balance of power between Com
munism and the Free World is in
the hands of the American farmer.
Communists Fear Hunger
More than the great destructive
power of our A-bombers, the COM
munist leaders fear hunger. They
have been unable to build a defense
against the threat Of starvation in
almost 40 years of strenuous efforts.
Intelligence reports from behind
the Iron Curtain reveal that Russia,
China and their satellite nations
have q food reserve Of less than &c
days. Some estimates place the
reserve as low as 90 days.
