THE FRANKLIN TIMES Issued Every Friday S13 Court Street Telephone 283-1 A. F. JOHNSON, Editor and Manager SUBSCRIPTION BATES Oh Tear fl-00 Sh Moathn 70 Eight Month# l.OO Foar Moatha 90 AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Naw Tork Ottj Entered at the Postoffloe at Loaiaburg, N. C. aa aecoad BLUEPRINT FOR AGRICULTURE It will be New Year's resolution time almost before we know it. And here's one good resolution for pro gressive farmers: "I'll get behind the marketing co operative movement and support it more aggressively than ever." That's a resolution that shouldn't lie broken. F<jr_ marketing cooperation in all the important agricultural fields has proven itself worthy of any fanner's backing. It has gone through good times and bad, and it has done its job under all conditions. It isn't dominated by pol itics, and its policies don't switch with changing politi cal winds. It's a real business, working 011 proven bus iness principles. Each year has seen an increase in the membership of the marketing cooperatives, and in their influence. The movement is out of the experimental stage. It offer* a sound, long-time working blueprint for. constant farm progress. . ^ _ OOO ? r t HONOR WHERE DUE American citizens have read with and wonder of food shortages in war-torn Europe-^ot xhe spectacle of men and women standing in line for lioiVs to obtain a few potatoes or a loaf of bread ? and, in many cases, fi nally being turned away because the supply had been exhausted. In this country we are at peace. We have plenty of food, clothing and other necessities. We have a stand ard of living unparalleled in the world. Much of the credit for that must go to Nature, which has dealt rich ly with us. But man has aided Nature? and it is man's work which lias been responsible for bringing the boun ty of the earth to the people. Think for a moment about the American system of retail distribution. The stores which sell you food, clothes, necessities and luxuries are the product of an intricate and superbly planned system whose purpose is to provide the nation with the maximum ^amount of goods for the least amount of money. This system is made up of independent stores, chain stores amkother progressive forms of retailing., It is a system in which competition is free and open ? in which every merchant is always seeking to improve his business and thus earn more patronage. It is a system which gives the consum er in little towns the same quality of goods at the same price as the consumer in great cities. Our standard of living nmst be largely attributed to the American retail system. iOo GUNS, AIRPLANES AND TAXES General Hugh .Johnson recently offered some sage and simple economic advice in hiss column. Speaking of de fense demands, he said, "What we need is not merely more taxes<but more revenue and more production. . . . "Excessive taxes produce three results as sure as sun rise. They reduce total revenue because they invariably increase all prices, and reduce production and emjfloy ? ment. They do the latter for another reason. Since they- must be paid at all events, they decrease the incen tive for people to invest to produce. We must finance production ... by putting private capital to work, or we shall pay for the failure to the end of our day?. The way to keep it from working is unreasonably to increase taxes on its normal gains." Some persons have come to feel t lint, in th(? light of our gigantic defense expenditures, "anything goes" will have to be our policy so far as taxation is concern ed. That is dangerous. Nothing can be so destructive to our economy as unsound taxation. If Congress goes ahead in helter-skelter fashion, piling tax bill oil tax bill with little regard for cause and effect, this country might as well kiss its hopes for eventual security, stability and prosperity goodbye. If we drive capital out of exis tence, what can we tax to finance the factories and the assembly plants and the rest of the industrial machine which is necessary to producing the instruments of peace, no less than the weapons of defense? Congress ' clear duty is to sit down and study taxes and t?x systems from beginning to end before it even considers another revenue bill. It must see to it that the burden is equitably distributed ? that it does not un necessarily penalize enterprise and progress ? that it does not make for price inflation? -that, in short, it doesn't ruin the cduntry we are working to defend. Colti gress has no time to waste. A workable tax policy is as much part of a sound defense program as guns and airplanes. + * oOo "It ia a strange fact that the dictators have invented a kind of War1 in which . the individual counts heavily. At that game the democracies, which have nevef de veloped the regimented mass-mind, can beat them." ? The New York Time*. The County Agent's Office will be closed for the Christmas Holi day from 12:00 Noon. Tuesday. December 24, until 8:00 A. Friday. December 27. The County Committee, Assist ant and County Agricultural Agent, arid every Clerk working in the County office, extends to every farmer in Franklin County their sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, v . Battery "B" News (By Pvt B. C. Johnson and Corp. Willard Perry.) Fort*. Jackson. S. C.. Dee. 14. ? December 21. Just auother Sat I urday to most people, will be very important one to most of the boys I of Battery "B" for they will leave j here that day to enjoy a well ' earned ten day Christmas Holi day. The boys have been doing a swell job of soldiering since their arrival at the Fort last October, and really deserve to spend their | Christmas at home. 1 am pretty sure they are really going to have a swell time. There was noise and still more noise out on the range last Friday, for those little 37 MM were going off all around the place. This was the first firing since the training began. It is believed that firing will continue through Monday and Tuesday of this week. "ftiere is guile a difference in the accommodations here now, for we have electric lights, hot or cold water for showers, and a very nice aud appreciated mess hall. The boys were issued iron cots with springs the other day. and since they already had mattresses, these were Just fine, that is if they don't sleep too long in the morning now The boys are hoping now that there will be time allowed them in the afternoon to participate in various sports they like Softball and basketball equipment have already l>een given to the Battery so now we need the time to use it. Lt. IMddie brought out this point at Ibe Sunduv School meeting this morning . Duriui: the time that Battery "B" has been iu training at Fort Jackson there has been some changes made in the Officer Per sonnel of the Battery. The 1>oys regret very much the loss of Lt. Frank W Wheless. who is acting Battery Commander of the 1st Battalion Headquarters Battery, and hope that we don't lose any more of our Officers. A few days after Battery "B" arrived at Fort Jackson. Lt. Dwight B. Rowland was assigned to our Buttery, and is our motor Officer now Lt. Kowland is a 2nd Lt. and is from Dunn. X. C. Major Griffin is still with the 1st Battaliou. Capt. (ireen is still our Captain, and Lt. Bulluck is now Battery Executive. I have been told that Sgt. Sid ney F. Holmes has another duty to perform now ? "weilding a Flit gun."
