Some of our loaders would have us bo- i
lievu that it is socialistic for the government
to support farm prices and promote social
security Those same leaders would have us
believe, also, that il is all right for the gov
ernment to guarantee certain types of loans
and remove all the risks for the money lend- ,
ers
bate reports state that the United Stales
(lovernment is hearing the risks on the huge
sum of twenty-six billion dollars in various
types of loans Tho government is doing that j
will) the hearty approval of most of the !

Speaking lc tin' Minnesota Hankers' As
sociation a short time ago. Karl R. Muir,
president of the Louisville Trust Company

ment guarantees, which mean that had loans

ers are divesting ourselves of risk taking,
our fundamental function. And we are en

We are told again and again that it is
terrible and strictly socialistic to go to the ;
rescue of irish potato farmers and others,
but we are led, at the same time, to believe
that it is right for the government to take
the risks for others.
Empty fteminl
Retiring recently, a Raleigh police officer,
after seventeen years of faithful service, is
now loafing around on a $10-a-month pen
sion, The meager pension is ridiculous.
Some of those lamenting the inadequacy
of the pension not so long ago were branding
the pension plan as something coming out of
the socialistic bag.
While the officer is receiving an empty
reward, possibly the cold facts in his case
will bestir others to action in the name of
those who toil for a living. Maybe there'll
come a time when mankind will look upon
the pension system as a humanitarian move
and abandon the idea of kicking out aged
human beings to forage as a dumb animal
whose use is gone.
Einils W.6 Err ('mil Eoyul
One unfortunate aspect of the wild charg
es of disloyalty against employes of the Fed
eral Government is the creation of suspicion
in minds of the American people that many
of our citizens are not loyal to their govern
ment and country.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has i
examined a total of 2,571,062 loyalty form
papers since August 1, 1047. J. Edgar Hoo
ver, chief of the Bureau, reports that is has
returned to the Civil Scrvicf Commission
2,561,046 forms without disloyal data. This
means that 00.6 per cent of the total forms
processed bv the F. B. 1. failed to disclose
any dislovalalty. Editor’s Copy.
Itreal. / p It in Estates
The Earl of Harewood, a nephew of King
George, of Great Britain, and eleventh in
the line of succession to the throne, has re
cently sold seven thousand of the twenty
two thousand acres that he inherited upon
the death of his father.
Tile Earl has been forced to break up his
holdings by “the burden of death duties,"
which we know as inheritance taxes. The as
sessment against his estate was about one
third of the estate’s valuation of $2,196,4«H0.
The news item is interesting because it
illustrates the impact of inheritance taxes
upon the ancient estates of Great Britain. It
means, eventually, the breaking up of large
estates and the selling of the land in small
parcels to the tenants, whose families have
occupied the land for many, many years.
