hunter.
Then how does this practice.
long established on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, thrive? Who is to blame
and how can it be curbed?
First of, there are not nearly
enough Federal and State
agents to cope with the prob
lem. Secondly, the trapper's
shame must be shared by the
misguided persons who protect
him, the otherwise respectable
citizens who buy his wares, their
friends who eat them, and the
courts that fail to back the en-
torcement agents.
Problem Peculiar
The problem is a peculiar one.
You've got to understand the
Eastern Shore to appreciate it.
The average duck trapper
may be in all other respects an
honest. God fearing person.
Nevertheless, he feels that the
ducks are Gods bounty and he
has right to take them by any
means he can.
The trapper's friends may
not approve, but when they
learn about his Surreptious op-
erations they reason:
well, he's got a couple of
kids and is having hard time.
I wouldn't want to see him
arrested"
So when they see the Federal
or State patrol planes nosing
around, they get word to the
trapper.
Next and by far the most
important is the buyer. Recent
stories about duck trapping
have indicated that Baltimore
and Philadelphia were the
principal market.
Sold in Many Cities
Charles H. Lawrence, Fish
and Wildlife'S assistant chief
of management and enforce
ment, says this is not true.
Wild ducks are sold illegally in
many major cities, including
Washington.
AS in prohibition times, when
a person who considered him
self perfectly respectable con-
tacted a bootlegger, so does
the buyer contact the duck
logger. Unlike prohibition times,
there apparently is no organ
lied distribution system or
duckeasy.
Say doctor, lawyer or
prominent merchant wants to
put on a dinner. He has a
friend who knows a friend,
etc, and winds up with the
illegally trapped ducks. He
never stops to think how they
were obtained.
The citizen may go and get
them himself, the friend may
pick them up or the trapper
may deliver them. They come
sometimes in gallon cans sup
posedly containing oysters. One
dressed bird will be in each
can. They could be in boxes
with a thin layer of rockfish
on top.
Some Clubs Buy Birds
Buyers have been known to
take as many as 800 birds at
one time. The honest hunter
is restricted to three per day.
Some private clubs also buy
these birds if they have a close
mouthed membership but res
taurants won't touch them.
Organizations like the AnteaterS
In Washington buy ranch.

4 Tremendous Growth

Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Ohio's value added by manufacture in
creased from $751;, 957, 900 to ST.. 81, 767 900
"a whopping percentage boost of 94.6, con-
siderably more than other leading states.
During this period, Ohio added a con-
siderable number of plants and other prop
erty. Ohio manufacturers expenditures for
new plant and equipment rank No. ! in the
country. Ohio manufactures invested 81, $53,-
$4,000 in plant and property in 1856. This
was more than was invested in Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, California and New
York, in that order, respectively.
An important factor considered by man.
%ufacturers locating new plant and property
in Ohio is the availability of abundant, low
cost electric power, the Institute pointed out,
Industrialists shopping for new plant
sites favor Ohio over all other states except
California, according to a recent Business
Week magazine survey of 2S3 corporation Of
ficials.
In the 10-year period considered, the pop
ulation of Ohio grew from 1885, $50 to SO, 10O,-
600. Manufacturing workers totaled l,243,6 $50
in 1947, and had grow to 1,370,711 by Sc. The
manufacturing payroll shot up from $3,753,
0OO, 1000 to $7,O38, 100000.
The effective buving income per family
increased from $4,522 in 1947 to $6,331 by
1856. This compares with $4,000, in 1947 anc
$5,736 in 1856 in the nation.
Annual retail sales nearly doubled in the
period. In 1947, retail sales were $6,372, 210,
600. By 1856, sales had reached 81 ,672, 1882,
600.

AND

A British professor declared
that for the first time in our
national history "Americans are
beginning to display humility
Painful experiences such as the
loss Of China to the Reds, the
rise of Communist power, the
Korean Illustration, the tendency
Of under developed lands to look
to Russia, have destroyed "the
illusion of American omnipo-
tence."
We have so long been optim-
lists, believing in progress and
the virtues of the American way
of life, that establishment hits
Is hard. The consequence has
been a new mood of pessimism
that makes us humble"
But perhaps the truer word is
that we have been Inundated
and have reacted in fear and
anger. These are dangerous
moods, bringing such loss of faith
in our free way Of life as to give
it up, hence trends to the left"
or else naughty recoil in terms
of refusing to widen our hori-
Zens, hence movements to the
right"
The answer is not a comprom-
ising middle way but a recov-
cry Of our proud heritage of free
dom in the humble spirit of
realizing that we have yet to
refine it. To "go forward" into
socialism is to go backwards; yet
simply to "go back" to things
as they were is not to go for
ward.
Hence the "libertarian" en-
phasis, beyond both liberalism
and conservatism, seeking to
preserve freedom but bent on
improving it, proud of our heri-
tage yet humbly working to make
it better.

Socialism Marches On

About 99.44 percent of the American
people are opposed to socialism, but socialism
keeps accelorating its creeping paralysis of
our economic body.
Socialism travels under many pseudo
nvms. Webster defines state socialism as a
form Of socialism using the power of the
state to e~oualize incomes by measures such
as progressive income and inheritance taxes.
In other words using the power of the gov
eminent to distribute the wealth" taking
the monv of those who have earned and saw
ed it and giving it to others who have done
neither. Using our own money to acquire
more and more power over us and to take
more and more of our freedom away from us.
Welfare avs have their place in present
day society and we couldn't very well erase
them from Che statute books. But the best of
intentions soon go astray and abuses creep in.
The state legislature has taken the cell
ing off old age pensions. On the surface that
seems fine. How can these old people live on
the meager pitance the state doles out? But
without some kind of a ceiling on payments,
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1959-08-06

the undeserving as we'll as the deserving will
be getting higher and higher pensions and
there will be no limit on the taxpayers costs.
Social security, to which the worker and
the employer both contribute, now to the
tune of 5 per cent of the total payroll, has
done much to bottom out the economic val
levs. But the socialist dreamers are never sat-
isfied. Thew keep raising the benefits with
little thought of where the monev is coming
from to pay for their dreamy Utopia. They
now want to include medical payments. 1t
would cost millions of dollars and would pro-
vide little benefit to the people. Under such
a system doctors would be kept BUSY taking
care of those who need it least, or only think
thew need it and would be prevented from
giving it to those who need it most.
1t is naive for anyone to believe that
Congress will take the peoples money away
from them thru taxes and not hold it firmly
in the governments control. That is how
state socialism grows. When the b~ureaucrats
get ahold, they hang in there and keep null
tiplying.

At Ohio's present rate Of growth nearly
half a million new jobs are created every
decade.
Besides jobs for 100000 more manufac-
turing workers, some 100000 employees are
added every ten years in the service indus
tries.
These and other data tracing Ohio's
growth were released today by the Ohio Elec-
trio Utility Institute, following a study of the
contributions of Ohio's eight independent
electric light and power companies to the
states industrial growth.
AS a location for industry, the study not
ed. Ohio possesses a unique combination OF
advantages, not the least of which is abund-
ant electric power at reasonable rates. Many
interested organizations, including the cleo
trio utilities themselves, conduct continuing
campaigns to make these advantages known
to expanding businesses across the nation. A
large proportion of the new jobs created here
since World War II can be attributed to this
nationwide promotion.
In a typical 10-year period, 1947-1956, the
manufacturing work force grew 1875 per cent.
In 1947, there were l 1874 1853 manufacturing
workers. BY 1856, the number had grown to
81, 379,893.
In the same 10-year span, the latest for
which official figures are available, other inn
portant changes affecting the states welfare

Transptonting

1have learned a few lessons out there on the hill top. I planted
several kinds of shrubbery during the early days of spring. One
bunch of snow balls did fine. They are now giving me some perfect
blooms. 1 planted some Towering ounce after they were in bloom.
They died. Several other kinds of flowers grew but they were not
even in bud.
1t seems to me tt very much the same with human beings. You
can take a child up to the age Of seven or eight and brain wash it
into believing any thing you desire to teach it. If you wait until the
flower of youth is in full bloom and they learn to know they have an
individuality of their own it is very difficult to transplant them or
change their thinking.
The communist party makes the shameful statement, "Give us
your children until they are seven and you can have them"
You can brain wash a childs mind very easily. You can shape
it like marble or concrete and once this is done it is almost imposs-
ile to get them to change. They simply are not capable of breaking
the chains that were used in locking up their mentality.
1 think this is one of the greatest crimes of the present age. 1t
robs individuals of their own power of thinking. It makes them a
slave to any thing their superiors want to put across.
Such minds are locked up in dark dungeons by turning the key
of fear. They are filled with fear. They are afraid to think for them
selves. Minds should develop in a great degree of mental freedom if
they are to become useful and productive.

any dictatorship can accom-
plish it. What dictators cannot
accomplish is something far
more difficult - an equality
of plenty.
Here in American we had
made considerable progress
toward an equality Of plenty
in a capitalistic economy. 1t
would be idle for us to contend
we had reached that much-to-
be~desired goal, but we were
On the right track. At least, we
had travelled further toward
it than has any other nation
in the entire history of the
world.
But our forward march to an
equality of plenty has been
sadly interrupted, if not COM
pletely halted, in recent years.
We have permitted the deve-
lopment of a centralized, pa
ternalistic governmen Mt at
Washington, which has set up
a bureaucracy that is d%evitaliZ-
ing the initiative and Self-reli-
ance of our citizenry.
We had learned that the
formula for achieving an equa-
lily of plenty is to produce a
sufficiently large quantity of
things, and that the distribu-
ton of them will take care of
itself. The automobile is but
one of many things which can
be cited as proof of this. We
produce the automobile in
large quantities, and witness
the many millions of passenger
cars that travel our highways
today.
If the United States is per-
mitted to resume along the
pathway on which it started
and along which it iourneyed
for a century and a half, it is
not unreasonable to assume
that eventually we will achieve
an equality of plenty, without
anv governmental planning or
interference.
Just as there is a minimum
of things necessary to mans
decent subsistence, there is a
maximum of things that he can
use. Therefore. when sufficient
production. of all things - nee
essities, semi-luxuries and lux,
uries - has been accomplished
there will be plenty of every
thing for everybody and ar
equality of plenty will have
been established. That is the
only way it can be done.

FREE BARGAINING?

With the outbreak of the steel
strike, President Eisenhower de-
clared that he would not use
the power of government to in
terfere because he believes in
what he called free bargaining"
In keeping government out, he
was proceeding on sound, Con-
Stitutional principle.
But what is this thing called
free bargaining?
In building a home, you in
vite a contractor to sit down with
you and discuss wages and costs,
He asks for so much, you say
you can pay so much, and you
reach an agreement. If you don't
offer what he thinks he must
have, regretfully says he can't
work for you, and you look for
somebody else.
That is completely free and
legitimate bargaining.
But suppose he tells you that
if you don't pay his price, he
will not only refuse to builo
your house; he won't let anybody
else build it, either!
You recognize at once that that
is coercion, you don't hesitate
to call it what it is, a monopolis-
tic shakedown!
Apply this simple illustration
to the situation in steel, Or any
| other like it. There is no differ,
ence in principle, yet THIS i:

bargaining"!

EQUALITY
BY George Peck

We hear much these days
about equality, but there seems
to be a wide divergence of
opinion as to just what "equa-
lity" means when applied to
the human family.
Ask a socialist what he
means by Equality" and he
will tell you that it means a
civilization in which all equally
share the wealth. He will neg
lect to add, either because he
doesn't know or chooses to
ignore it, that Socialism in
practice actually means shar-
ing the poverty.
Ask a capitalist or a believer
in the capitalistic system and
the definition you will get
from him is that equality" is
what develops in a civilization
in which all citizens have equal
opportunity and equality be-
fore the law.
C Commencing with the
French Revolution the socialis-
tic dream of equality of wealth
had led to vast cruelty and
endless bloodshed, all to very
little purpose. At times the
bourgeoisie and the upper class
either have been r~eleeated to
the Sidelines or completely
liquidated by the proletariat;
wealth has been confiscated
and divided. But, in every such
case, it was not long until the

state" is firmly entrenched, the
poor are being robbed, too. The
total tax burden, open and hid
den, for 4 family of average
means is now almost a third of
annual income: for A $500 fam
lily, $1,O59; for a $4,000 family.
$1,393; for an $4,000 family,
$2,726.
Soak only the rich? Let's stop
kidding ourselves! Those who get
away with robbing the rich never
hesitate to rob the poor as we'll.
We had better "get" this villain
before he steals all of US blind!
