Almost everyone agrees this country
is falling behind In economic growth.
Most OF the other Western industrial ma
tons are exceeding us, some by large
margins. In those nations, generally,
there is a shortage of workers : we face
an unemployment problem.
Why should this be so? A summing
up in the March 5 issue of U. S. News
& World Report provides some of the
big reasons.
One is corporation taxes, which is so
high as to destroy incentive. Only Britain
with a 53.75 per cent tax, exceeds our
tax of 81 per cent.
Another is double taxation of divi-
dends : ice at the corporation level,
then, the second time, at the individual
income level. u. S.. stockholders are
given a misery 4 per cent tax credit,
and there is even a movement to elimi-
nate that. In the other Western nations,

Recent studies indicate that Ameri-
cas- labor force will show the most ORA
matte increase in our nations history
during the present decade when 1t
booms from 1916 millions of men and
women In 1860 to an estimated 87.l mil
lion by 1870. Furthermore, I'VE can anti
cipate that young workers, under IS
years of age will account for nearly half
that growth" according to H. H. Tho
mas of the local office of the Mississippi
Employment Security Commission. Be-
cause of the tremendous increase in birth
rates two decades ago, there will be an
average of 3,OO0,0 900 young men and wo-
men ready to 60 to work each year for
the next ten years.
A significant factor is hat these young
people have never worked in any type
of permanent employment before. Most
will be high school and college students
and graduates; but some will be drop
outs who have quit school before hav-
ing finished the eighth grade.
The educational level which MANY
will have however. NAV cause a serious
problem. For wen thouoh there will be

TAXES TOO LIBERAL

credits ranging from IT'S per cent to
more than 80 per cent are given to stock
holders for taxes paid or withheld by
corporations. Thus, new investment, new
pourings of financial lfeblood into their
economics, is encouraged.
A third is the capital gains tax : and
here, says u. S. News, "This country's
rules are sitter than those of any other
major nation" Indeed, in most of the
other countries only the capital gains of
professional traders are taxed at all.
Finally, depreciation of plant and
equipment, for tax purposes, is much
more restricted here than elsewhere.
Add that fact to the vastly increased
costs of new tools : and the result is in
creasing industrial obsolescence.
We are falling behind, comparatively,
in economic Growth : and the primary
reason is destructive tax laws and poll

EDITORIAL COMMENT
DEPENDS
ON LEVEL

an ever-increasing number of trained,
quallrled applicants In competition tor
them. Ih1S beng the case, it simply
stands to reason that where employ
ment, training and classification are de-
pendent on the individuals level of edu-
cation that the better jobs will be taken
by those best qualified; and the lesser
amount of education which a worker
has, the further down the pay scale he
will find work.
AS graduation nears throughout the
county, it is particularly important that
the prospective graduates consider these
facts in making their plans for the fut-
ure. Students of all age levels and CLASH
fications should view these "facts of
life" in determining a need for further
education.
Since the current trend has been an
actualitv for some time, it is likely that
it will continue ever after 1870. Even
though the thought of dropping out of
school early NAV have pleasant present
implications, the facts indicate that such
NAV not mean a necessarily pleasant fut-
ure.

sic and services at church,

The history of Easter which
is a symbol of the Resurrec-
ton to us, is entWined with
many religious customs and
observances dating back humid
reds of years even before the
time of Christ. However.
Christians have utilized var
ious customs and traditions
to create and color this OBJ
servance in the real spirit of
Jesus rebirth.
The Easter egg, for examp-
lie, came to be associated with
Easter because eggs were for
hidden to be eaten during Lent
And eggs were not eaten on
Easter Sunday, they were ira
~ditionally served. The Easter
egg, though, had dated back
to the Egyptians and the Per
slams, and also to the Greeks
and Romans, who ate eggs
annually at their Spring feSti-
walls. Of course, we all know
that eggs have long since been
connected with new life. as

I have heard lots and lots
of nice remarks during the
past few weeks concerning
what our readers call "a big
ger and better" Holmes Coun-
ty Herald. The comments
have cdme not only from
county residents, but from 9TH
er newspaper friends over the
state who read the paper each
week. The Herald had been
promising these Improvements
for a long time, but various
and Sundry factors had made
them difficult to achieve.

Labor Costs

Another factor was the re-
sp~onsibility of the steel COM
panies to their stockholders.
Labor costs : fringe benefits
among others : have increased
over Is percent since 1858 but
the price of steel has not. The
steel corporations, like any
other business enterprise have
a responsibility to insure their
stockholders a fair return on
their investment and to further
insure fair return in the fut-
ure.
The government contended
that a steel price rise would
impair and initiate the nation
al economy, but steel company
spokesman pointed out that
economic effects Of the price
rise would be SO neglible as to
be almost un-noticable.

was the announcement that
government contracts would
be transferred from those
companies raising prices to
those who held their prices at

President John F. Kennedy
moved with raw, swift and
brutal power this past week
in crushing the steel industry
price increase.
The President flew into a
bitter rage when United States
Steel and the other leading
steel companies announced
they were going to raise the
price of steel by six dollars
per ton because they needed
extra revenue for moderniza-
ton of the industry and a
slight increase in profits for
their stockholders.
After attacking the steel in
dustry for its so-called "disre-
gard for the public interest
the President called his cabi-
net advisors in and then pro-
ceeded to lower the boom on
big steel.

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy announced that the
Federal Government would in
vestigate the possibilities of an
antitrust suit against United
States Steel, the nations lar.

If your employer has established

Seedlings Need Voter

Everyone becomes garden

Of spring. Young plants thrive
on gentle spring rains. Plants
need water as much as they
need good soil and sunlight.
Seedlings indoors are depend
ent upon frequent watering as
the soil must be kept moist to
insure steady growth and
sturdy roots.
A galvanized watering can,
made by Jones & Laughlin

for tiny plants. The other, larger

But for young ones, or those

indispensable.
