FEDERAL SPENDING CAN BE CUT

FEDERAL SPENDING CAN BE CUT
Congress has ample opportunity in the
budget requests still to be acted on to re-
duce federal spending enough to pay for a
tax cut which is being urged in growing
volume to pep up the economy.
This was brought out in an appraisal of
the progress of Congressional actions on
money bills by the Council of State Cham
bers of Commerce. The report said: "lf the
Congress feels that taxes must be reduced
soon but only if spending is also reduced,
there is ample opportunity to do both by
cutting the budget requests it has yet to
consider"
Some of ''the most likely areas for re-
duction" cited by the Council report in
clude foreign aid Rural Electrification
funds, public works and new spending pro-
posals.
The Council report labeled as ''the myth
of the 1905" the idea that expanded gov
ernment spending is the road to economic
growth. 1t suggested it is "high time that
Congress diSasSociate itself from the policy
based on the myth"
WHAT is MASS DISTRIBUTION?
Just what is ''mass distribution?
The mechanics of this method of selling
goods are complex, but the principle is
simple
1t used to be that distribution was based
upon a system of buying as cheaply as poss-
ible and as dearly as possible That is still
the case in many of the countries of the
world.
Mass distribution, U. S. style, marked a
revolutionary departure. It's motivating
principle is to buy as cheaply as possible
and sell as cheaply as possible-in other
words, to give more for the consumer dol
lar.
This isn't because merchants are oper-
ating an eleemosynary institution. They
certainly aren't. But they have learned-in
spite of early-day scoffers-that all benefit
when big volume of goods is moved at
small unit profit, instead of moving a small
volume of goods at big profit
The chains pioneered mass distribution.
Other kinds of merchants adapted it with
complete success to their own enterprises.
Much of the credit for the American stand
ard of living belongs to it.

FOOTBALL TIME


That uniquely exciting American game,
football, is almost here once again. Even
though baseball will continue into the first
crisp days of October, when the World Ser
les will be played, football comes earlier and
earlier each year.
One of the great advantages football has
is that it comes with the delightful fall wea-
ther, not here yet but which always arrives
simultaneously with college football
And football, unlike baseball and some
other sports, is unique in that the greatest
fan interest still lies in college-level football.
The professional sport is growing in popu-
larity, and may certainly one day dominate
the football scene in the country, but the pro-
fessional game doesn't dominate the scene
as yet.
1t does boast the best brand of ball, but
college football still captures the fancy and
interest of an amazing number of fans. 1t
has completely replaced baseball as king of
the high school and college sports scene.
1t is true that we over emphasize foot
ball in too many schools and colleges. 1t is
also true that too many youngsters suffer
permanent injuries participating And,
likewise, it is true that football has become
the game of the graduate, of the adult fan,
far more than the game of the student
But in spite of all the undesirable eff
fects, the sports fan in this country will be
slightly dizzy from now until December, en-
joying the gridiron season of 1862, with all
its color, its excitement its college flavor
and-its tradition and memories of years
gone by.

LABOR DAY, 1862

Each year, in the United States millions
of us enjoy Labor Day holiday and many of
us have only remote idea of the origin of
the day. The idea of the holiday in honor
of labor was first suggested by Peter j.
Mcguire in 1892 He was then president of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America.
In May of that year, he submitted pro-
posal to a labor union in New York, where
he was living, that labor should select
day for a parade which would show the
strength and the esprit de corps of the trade
and labor organizations.
His proposal was adopted and the first
labor day celebration occurred on Septem-
ber 5th, 1882. Two years later, on October
9th, 1884, the Federation of Organized
Trades and Labor Unions of the United
States and Canada voted to make the cele-
bration national This organization became
the American Federation of Labor.
Thus, Labor Day is one of the unique
holidays in American life, which sprang al
most spontaneously from the people and
which became national holiday in the short
period of years between 1882 and 1894.
This Labor Day, we would like to sug
gest to readers in making their plans for
the holiday, the last of the summer, to make
it day of rest-not frenzied driving and
haste. Use caution at all times and be
around to enjoy Labor Day in 1868.

HOW TO GET MORE TAX REVENUE
Every unit of government from the
village to Washington, ID. c., is constantly
looking for new sources of tax revenue.
One way-and an important way-tO
gain such new sources would be to take
government out of commercial business, in
which it engages on a wholly or largely
tax-free basis, and to let taxpaying private
anterDriSe do the lob
+ A prime example here is the electric
utility industry. A substantial part of the
country's power business is handled by tax
lodging public systems, ranging from little
local plants to such bureaucratic colossus
as the Tennessee Valley Authority.
How worthwhile, on the other hand,
are the utility industrys contributions to
government? Well, take the experience of
California company. Last year it set aside
the sum of S166015.000 for taxes and fran
chise payments to local, state and federal
agencies. That exceeded, by more than $40
million, the cost of operating all of Cali
fornia's II state colleges in the current
fiscal year. To make another comparison,
this tax bill was almost exactly twice as
much as the utility's wage and salary costs
and well over twice as much as was paid
to the owners in the form of dividends on
preferred and common stocks.
What is true. in California is true every
where in the country where regulated tax
paying private enterprise supplies our cleo
tricity. The sums vary, according to the
size of the companies, but the principle
does not. Public power both avoids and con-
sumes tax money, private power creates it,
and in huge quantities.

Home Furnishings Writer

Previews Of things to come
in the way of 1862 home
furnishings fashions are be-
ing presented at the semi
annual International Home
Furnishing Market that
opened today in the vast
Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
OF the hundreds Of fur
nishings being unveiled by
manufacturers during the
week-long market, the main
trend indicates new designs
utilize the best traits of fur
niture of past centuries de-
veloped with a truly Amer
lean Interpretation.
Mr.. w. o. Gilman, Mart
general manager, in COM
menting on the dominant
design feature of the show,
explains there are many note
worthy examples of the
American concept of good
design.
One collection, French Ac-
cent, is furniture designed
for the American taste but
with a Gallo heritage. By
up-dating and adapting the
design elements of the 18th
and 18th centuries in France,
the designer has produced a
collection with charm that
fits the need of today's home

the designers say, by the
classic beauty of a cham
payne glass. Stimulating a
crystal creation, the chair
has the traditional cham
payne glass stem and foot
design.
A walnut finish is en-
ployed in a new collection for
young marrieds. The lines
of the group are straight
while an uncluttered design is
achieved through use of
high pressure plastic table
tops and drawer fronts in
orange, white or green.
Among fabric producers
and suppliers, the prediction
for 1862 is greater use of
fabrics as wall coverings
since the introduction of
combining synthetics with
natural fibers for easy up
keep.
Texture will continue to
dominate in floor coverings
combined with a greater use
of colorS than ever before.
Chain lamps that raise or
lower from the ceiling while
camouflaging the cord ap-
pear to be replacing the pole
lamp that has long been
dominant at the market.
Among the styles being pre-
sented in chain lamps are
those with china sh deS,
wrought iron and ceramic.
New Silver Finish
In the kitchen, the new
est addition to the color fam
lily for major appliances ap-
pears in a silver finish.
Among televiSion and high
fidelity units the styles swing
from contemporary to Italian
provincial to Early American
and French silhouetteS.

of living.
Another expression of the
trend, he points out, is seen
in an upholstered collection
with silhouettes and lines de-
rived from furniture designs
of the 18th, 18th and 18th
century of Greek, Spanish,
English and French inspira-
ton. This design, he notes,
is fused into a liveable prod
uct for today's modern
woman.
Fine HardwOOds
A continuing use of fine
hardwoods is still another il
luStration of the American
design era. Rare violin
burl" is one of the newest
additions. This is a swirl
grained wood that has been
used for centuries to make
fine fiddles. Also prominent
are walnut veneers alone or
combined with pecan, zebra

and new painted surfaces.
White, according to the
advance release, leads the
most popular list among
painted surfaces. The white
finish is generally accented
with touches of color or gilt.
Among the more modern
designs is a clear plastic
