MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1938 Butiness Careera As the high schools and colleges turn out their thousands of graduates, there are certain to be both sons and parents who will find helpful information in an article by Paul W. Chapman, dean of the Georgia College of Agriculture, in The Progressive Farmer, on getting started in business occupatTons.. There are hundreds of occupations in business. Most all of thenp^an be in cluded in three groups: / Selling, fi nancing, and record keeping. “Selling is, in some ways, the most important part of business. Our farms and factories could not operate unless the goods which they produce were sold. The salesman, as an average, is paid more than other workers in busi ness. There is no special school train ing for selling occupations. Anyone can find something to sell, and in this way discover whether selling has an appeal as a full-time, life-long occupation. “Financing in business is essential. This means that we must have banks, clearing houses, credit agencies, stock, bond and investment houses, and many other agencies. This group is smaller in numbers employed than the other two major divisions of business. We have fewer banks, for example, than we had ten years ago. The qualifications for work in financing are high and only the better positions pay large salaries. “Record keeping is becoming more and more important. In this division of business we find auditors, bookkeepers and a long list of other clerical occupa tions. The work in record keeping which stands at the top of the list from the standpoint of possible income, is ac counting. Perhaps only such persons should interest themselves in this w’ork as are proficient in mathematics and will ing to deal with minute details.” Almost One-Fourth Taxes will consume 24 cents of every dollar of earned income by every work er in 1938 as compared with 5 cents per dollar that went for taxes in 1890, ao cording to the latest tax studies based on official records of local, state and federal governments. In 1890, 5 cents out of every wage earner’s dollar was sufficient to cover the cost of all government services, lo cal, state and federal, leaving 95 cents for living expenses, recreation, and sav ings. - I > By 1912 the cost of government had 30 increased that 8.4 cents out of every dollar of earned income was required, und was levied in various forms of taxes. - By 1929, 12 cents out of every income dollar was required. In 1938 the 24 cents that will be col lected by all of the various taxing and licensing agencies of government out of each dollar earned will fall short by 7 cents per dollar of paying the total cost. Accordingly on the basis of the recent studies, the producer of national Income whether he be farmer, wlorking man, merchant or manufacturer, in 1938 in addition to paying 24 cents will have accumulated for,^him in public in debtedness an additional 7 cents for each dollar earned. Didn’t Give Up Sometimes in this day of relief, pen sions, and increasing demands from ev ery side for government help, it seems the fine traditoinal American qual- ^ oif sturdy self-reliance and grit are /^^^an^ing. But they still exist, perhaps v4n « large proportion “ hit ,of teatimony on the point from iCTlie iWressSve Farmer: j jimj n pretty*good-sized farm "“ai inw'dding right well, I thought, hv is » Money and Wealth If all the money now In circulation in the United States were divided up equal ly among the people, your share would be exactly $50.07. Seems like a mightly small sum, doesn’t it? Yet six and a half billion dollars— $6,510,000,000 to be exact—represents all the money in circulation in this coun try, according to the latest report of the Treasury Department. ^ Divided up among the 130,000,000 men, women and children in the United States, it would amount to $60.07 per capita. This sum provides for carrying on the nation’s business. It keeps factory chim neys smoking and the wheels of ma chines whirling. It buys meat and gro ceries for the average citizen and cloth ing for his wife and children. It keeps a roof over their heads, purchases the family automobile, takes care of taxes and provides for such things as going to the movies, listening to the radio and paying the doctor’s bill. Hjow can six and a half billion dollars do all these things? The answer is simple. By circulating and recirculating and providing the basis for credit. In the course of a normal year the money in circulation turns over about ten times. Thus one dollar has the power of ten and the six and a half bil lion dollars represents sixty-six and a half billion dollars. It is not what money is, but what it does under the American system of free competitive enterprise, that gives the American people a purchasing power greater than that of all the nations of Europe combined and a standard of liv ing unequaled anywhere else in the world. Who Runs Our Government? The government of these United States is supposed to be a representa tive government, but The Progressive Farmer points out that of the 531 mem bers of Congress, 301 are lawyers. Here is the way the occupations of the Sena tors and Representatives are classified: Lawyers, ^01; publishers, editors, etc., 27; farmers, 23; teachers, 15; manufacturers, 13; miscellaneous, 86; occupation not given, 66. A somew'hat similar proportion also obtains in most state legislatures. In this connection The Progressive Farmer also reminds us of a principle expressed by President Theodore Roo.s evelt years ago. “Country life shoub be as attractive as city life, and the Boys Inms 1^1^ If Sl^ RiKh Polptl ^ EllilbMli Mtlson, shot with a shotgnA ta tUo back yard of b«r home about ser- en mhea south of Hirh Point on Highway No. 61 because of dis appointment over not getting a new pair of.'sboM.

She was told .that she cisid go to High Point Priday and buy a pair of aboed-fof h«1»lt. Ber sister told her that she c^d hav^ half interest in the cnrlilg irons.' However, when Mary Elisabeth refused to accept the curling irons, ber sister, who does not live at the home place, took them with ber and said she. would use them that night and .bring them back for the youjg girl to use the next day. Mary Elisabeth left a note to her sister which read: “I am doing this because I can't think of anything else to do to get rid of myself. Penoie (her sister) can have the hair curlers if she will use them after she had found out what she has caus^ me to do. Maybe this will co# Mama more than a pair of shoes. I hope the Lord will forgive me for what I have done. Good-bye.” Extension Pioneer To Address Farm Meet A discussion of “Where Are We Going in Southern Agriculture?" by J. A. Evans, pioneer agricul tural extension service worker, will he a feature of the men’s pro gram for Farm and Home Week at State College, AuKuet 1-5. Evans was one of the first county farm agents to be ap pointed in the United States when extension work was first being started In Texas more than a quarter of a century ago, and he has made an intensive study of southern agriculture. At present he Is administrative assistant of the Georgia extension service. Otner subjects on the men’s program will he: The place of farm cooperatives In the agricul tural program; how Tar Heel farmers can reduce their fertiliz er hill $2,000,000 a year; the im portance of soil conservation hnd how good conservation practices may be adopte.-i; better methods of producing crops; effective ways of controlling diseases and Insects; the advantages of certi fied seed and what requirements must be met In producing such seed. Speakers will also tell of the importance of parasite control in livestock production; the daily council and what It does; live stock farming in Eastern North Carolina; soil-building in the Piedmont with beef cattle: the place of poultry in the farm pro gram. A Jersey herd classification and a calf club demonstration are also scheduled on the program. Tours will he made through laboratories on the college camp us. and probably to Chapel Hill and to Duke University. Those who are interested will he taken to visit the poultry farm, the RETROACTIVE As a result of the Court’s recent decision in the New York Port Authority case, ueeas lor wiiKes county on some 780,000 State employes December 3, 1924, in book 138, at throughout the country have page 200. feared that an effort might be made to collect retroactive Fed eral income taxes on their sal- FIFTY DOL^ De as aixraciive as city luc, auu tuc arles. For this reason, a mii na j^|^g (|5o.OO) as a forfeit and country people should insist on having ShTSd a full representation when it comes to dealing with all the great public ques tions. In other words, country folk.s should demand that they work on equal Proactive taxes, terms with city folks in all such mat ters. They should have their share in the membership of commissions and councils; in short, of all the organized bodies for laying plans for great enter prises affecting all the people . . . The agricultural country—^the open country —should be as well represented as the city.” Take life too seriously, and what is it worth? If the morning wakes us to no new joys, if the evening brings us not the hope of new pleasures, is it worth the while to dress and undress? Does the sun shine on me today that I may reflect on yesterday? That I may en deavor to foresee and to control that which can be neither forseen nor con trolled—the deetiny of tomorrow.— Goethe. . “Approximately 76 -per cent of the in dictments returiied by the United States District Court charge violation of the In- tecnid Revenue Act in connection with the manufacture and tt«niqK»tati(Hi , Dj^^^h^e.” :—‘Blblifnioi^ Ills-' | - wiijisit o. tuA: : the SSraritlAi .Jlliiba^ dbii^ ’■that JlBiis" moet 4ow& hrV monat^tisf mpeidi'. »•' mhre iir’ Four pnlpwoo'd' mills Carolina and seven othen in ad^ jhining States provide Tat Hhel farmers and timberland .'owners with a market (or millions o( dol Isrs .worth o( cull -trees , every yeaiv said h.
