NO COMMENT
BY JAMES ". DOUTHAT

WASHINGTON, Feb. a Far
too few people in the United
States realize that the Govern
ment's Indebtedness now totals
nearly $3.50 billion.
This startling information is
being circulated far and wide
by Maurice H. STAINS. Director
of the Budget Bureau, who urges
vigorous campaign against
wasteful spending and for in
creased fiscal responsibility.
His picture of the Govern
ment's financial situation shows
this:
$500 billion-national debt.
$3.50 billion-future obligations
for past services.
5 SO billion commitments
for future spending.
1913 billion-total.
This huge indebtedness is one
of the reasons why the congress
sional economy bloc is urging a
graSs-roots uprising against I'M
necessary spending in an effort
to ward off further initiation and
to increase the chances for tax
reform legislation.
AL the present time, Congress
is acting on the Eisenhower Adj
ministration's budget proposals
for the next fiscal year starting
on July |. Spending is estimated
at $79.8 billion and revenue at
$84 billion.
Economy advocates think that
substantial reduction can be
made in the spending tots |
without injury to the defense
program Or to any essential
| Government function.
A 1888 million cut in non
military expenditures is advo-
Gated by the National Associa
ton of Manufacturers.
An added reason for a cam
paign for Government economy
is the fact that the spending
trend, unless effectively resist
ed, is definitely upward-owing
to strenuous activities by the
Big Spenders in Congress.
Opposes COnfiscatory Taxation
Rep Curtis (RMo), believes
that it is politically immoral
and fiscally uneconomic" for the
Federal Government to confis-
cate more than 49 per cent OF
income earned by taxpayers.
The Missouri Republican, a
member Of the taXWriting House
Ways and Means Committee anC
ranking House Republican on tbs
Joint Economic Committee, sale
in a Washington address:
I'VE have piled tax on tax ano

He pointed out that the United
States has now reached the poin1
where federal, state and Local
government spend approximate
ly onethird Of the net national

years, tax policy has thWarte6

Babson Discusses Hedging Against Labor Leaders

Babson Park, Mass, Feb. Is.
In previous columns I discussed
hedging against initiation. I said
that the best hedge" is land
that the government can print
more bonds; that corporations
can print more stocks; but that
only God can make more land.
This means that as population
increases, as woodland grows,
or as more minerals, oil, gas,
etc, are discovered, properly
located land will increase in
price as initiation increases.
Taxes Must Be Paid
Of course, either the corpor-
alton owning the land or the
investor must pay the annual
taxes. As investors do not like
to do this, even in the case of
orange groves, then it is better
to buy stock in a corporation like
Minute Maid. which will pay
the taxes and which, when fruit
is plentiful and sales are good,
can also pay a dividend on the
stock. Taxes, however, must be
paid by some one and taxes are
sure to slowly increase e c h
year.
Big companies like the Weyer-
haeuser Company largest tim
Der owner in the U. 81 do this
by selling lumber, corrugated
paper, and containers of all
kinds through their manufactur-
ing divisions. Even the great
owners of woodlands are sub
ject to strikes in their manu-
featuring divisions, but the tim
Der continues to grow while the
labor is on strike. The steel.
iron, and coal supply, however.
does not increase when a big
steel strike is on.

I have recently been reading
an Economic History of Eng
land The frightful long hours
and low wages of the coal
miners of $50 years ago seem
almost unbelievable. Even little
children were obliged to work
in the mines for a few cents
per day. The coal miners have
been forced to continual struggle
during these $50 years up to
the present time. The same is
true of the wageworkers of
most every great industry.
Investors must not think that

Investors Watch Labor Leaders
Some industries are more vul-

are others. This means that in
