WHERE YOl R DOLLAR GOES The American con.sumers, as a jfi'oup, probably have less rtali7ntion than they should have of how far progi'essive re- tailinji: has )^one in cutting costs and rediicinK overhead—to the end that the buyer gets more goods and better jroods for his money. A recent survey by the Insti tute oC l)istrit)Ution concernniK the division of each dollar spent in chain stoi’es, is of preat in terest. Taking a typical middle- sized state as an example, it shows that 67 1-2 cents out of that dollar goes to producers who sell the chains the goods they carry. A large part of them are local people. Fifteen cents out of that dol lar goes to pay the wages of lo cal men and women, employed in the stores, in executive offices, in warehouses, etc. Five cents of that dollar goes to pay rent to local property owners. One and one-half cents of that dollar is sjient for local advertis ing, including newspaper space, handbills, stuffers, and .so on. Three cents of that dollar goes for taxes—Federal, State and local. Five cent.=! of. that dollar is .‘^pent for other expenses—light, heat, insurance, membership in civic organizations, doralions to charities, welfare drives, etc. Practically all of this is spent within the state. , That adds up to ninety-seven cents. Out of the humble three cents remaining, the chains must pay interest on their invest ments, pay for improvements and ni^w facilities, build up a fund against possible depression periods in the future—and, fin ally, earn a little profit for their armies of stockholders, the ma- .I'ority of whom are people of modest means. ' What IS true of the chains is true of the better independents. IVIodern retailing earns an in- crecMbly small return on each Iransaction—and depends on big turnover to provide reasonable net profit. The consumer reaps the benefits in .savings. plastic FoorefiLL HELMETi MADE FROM A WOOD derivative ABE A NEW RESEARCH PRODUCT 4-1 STATES PROVIDE RAW MATtRlAl4 FOR A HCAvy BOMBER —n TAKEi H TO /S fHONTHS To BUllO fimPiMEfCf THU rype POUND II6HVER NO MORE- U.S. miM POPUlATiOtJ /$ G^Apumv iNcniAsma- lAiT yeAR IT MCPeAflD 3«,9V7 TO ■35-/,87S- A GAlfl Oe 8,9 01 U.€, AUTOMOBILE OPFRATINff COSTS HAVE OECREASEP 50 ^CEN, %IMCE 1926 "WE U $.

A LESSON FOR FMTED STATES Today, as many an historian has been pointing out, we are witnessing an attempted world revolution. The purpose of Naz ism, Fascism and Communism are, basically, to destroy the es tablished economic and social orders of the world, and to put in their place an entirely differ ent order. In attaining that revolution ary goal, the first step invaria bly taken by the total govern ments, when seizing power in their own countries, has been to take over all sources of credit— to take control of money out of private hands, and place it in the hands of the ruling clique. The dictators realize that who- -ever controls a nation’s money and credit, controls that nation in every phase of its life. U’h'ere is a lesson in this for the United States. Under our system, the people control their money. Those who take care of it for them, such a.s the banks, are simply the people’s fiscal servants, and are subjected to the most stringent public regula tion. That system has worked. It is the system of private enter prise—the system of democracy —^the system of a free and sov ereign people. I There are those who would change this system and give government an infinitely great- "Jim” Schwartz sends in this clip ping: The motorist with any "regard for his future abode" should sing hymns R.s th“ speedometer climbs upward, the Re\. L. C. Miller said in a saf ety .sermon at church. His selections at the different .'peeds; “At 25 miles per hours, ‘I’m But r. Stranger Here, Heaven Is My Home;' at 15 miles, ‘Nearer My God ti Thee;' at 55 miles, ‘I'm Nearing the Port and Will Soon Be at Home;’ at 65 miles, ‘When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder I'll Be There!" at 75 miles, ‘Lord, I'm Coming Home.” or control over the nation’s money and credit. Often their arguments are plausible. But, if they have their way, the oidy pos.sible end will be economic dic tatorship—to be followed in due course by social dictatorship. Tho.se are hard words, but P.u- rope ha.s shown us how true they are. Let them not be for gotten here.
