Thursday, May 21, 1936 If advice is all that you want you can get it -without expense. Advertising is the servant of those who know how to use it. One reason why the budget- is hard to bal ance is because it means new taxes. You can’t please half t-he world; as a matter of fact you do well if you please half of your ' own family. Everybody is in favor of reducing public jobs except the individuals who have the of fices and the jobs. The best compliment that you can pay this newspaper is to keep your subscription paid up. Yes, that’s right. ) ONE CHANCE fTOO MANY We hear a lot about the 36,000 fatalities that accompany the automobile wrecks of the na tion in the span of a year but we do not hear quite so much about the 37,000 deaths each year due to accidents in homes and on farms. in fact, the average American’s reaction to stories of accidental death are a terse "it won’t happen to me!” A weekly analysis of accidents will be made \Jby the Census Bureau in an effort to reduce fatalities by making people realize that a great many of the 100,000 persons who die through mishap each year are needlessly sac- i xificed. -What good will it do? The answer is, "not much". Most all of us know that it pays to be careful but we think we are in a hurry and take chances. Some of us, eventually will take one chance too many and that will be the end . of our interest in safety on the highways and ^everywhere else. ' PRODUCTION AND EMPLOYMENT * Citizens who ride through the country and Phe towns seldom realize that the machine in Which they ride is possible at its price only because of large scale production. Along this line it is said that President Roosevelt, seeking new jobs for the unemploy ed, and having in mind the phenomenal growth of the automobile industry, asked how much a modern $600 automobile would cost if made piece-meal by machine shop methods. The an swer was $3,600. The thought that the President had in mind (elates to house construction now done on a piece-meal machine shop basis. He wondered If large scale methods in the housing industry would not reduce cost and make attractive H homes available to persons of moderate means, P jthus creating millions of jobs. Of course, there are difficulties in housing * construction, due to scattered locations, but . y undoubtedly the field offers the possibility of y tremendous development. If modern homes ■; pan be lowered in price, there are millions of Americans anxious to possess -them. Certainly, op the other hand, there are millions of Amer r. ie*n workmen anxious and ready to build them. ONE COST OF GOVERNMENT The National Civil Service Reform League responsible for the statement that there are are than 3,000,000 employees of our Federal, ate, and local government. It reports that W* salaries, paid by the people of this coun f, exceed $4,000,000,000 a year. These are striking figures. They demonstrate e burden of government. There is no escap* gMjke load, and every citizen, whether rich ipor* bears part of it ernmental employees and the amount of money patd for their services, we do not imply that the money is not well spent. In fact, proper government, purchased for this sum, is cheap. Unfortunately, however, very often the people fail to get the proper service to which they are entitled. This is not to be attributed entirely to graft and corruption. The fact is that, as any careful student of government realizes, many of our political em ployees, including elective officials, are bung lers in operating the affairs of state because they lack training. Much better government could be secured in the United States if all employees were required to take a course of training before becoming eligible to serve the pulblic. This article is written with reference to of ficials and employees generally and would not be taken as a reflection upon any group of pub lic servants. In this county and State, we have many faithful public officials just as we have our share of the incompetent. Recognizing a state of affairs that is general, the people here, and elsewhere, should support any proposal that tends to secure better trained public ser vants. Washington News For U. S. Farmers TARIFF AND FARMERS TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ABOUT FARM IMPORTS WHAT WALLACE SAYS Farmers of the United States have heard about- the tariff all their lives and will probab ly hear a lot more about it during the next few months. The subject will be approached from two angles. Opponents of the AAA and the Recip rocal Trade Treaty program will insist that the Government reserve the entire home mar ket for American farmers by placing an em bargo on imports of farm products. In sup port of their argument, they will cite figures showing increase in the import of farm pro ducts between 1932 and 1935. They will say that the present farm program is responsible and that the new trade agreements are opening the doors to foreign competitors of our far mers. . ii ■' --r* I ■- • ■' . '• ■ • ' The other side will present the arguments made familiar by Secretary Wallace, who main tains that only negligible quantities of farm products are imported and that our farm -pros perity is bound up in a revival of world trade; that in 1936 the products of more than 35 mil lion acres of our land will produce things to be sold abroad, and that if all imports were cut out only 10 million acres would be used to replace the products. The figures of the Department of Commerce show that in 1935 total imports, classed as ag ricultural, amounted to $1,100,000,000. Of this amount $334,000,000 covered the value of com modities not grown in this country, including such things as coffee, rubber, raw silk, tea, cocoa, spices, and bananas. In addition, su gar imports totaled $133,000,000, under jygid control limiting imports from the Philippines, Hawaii and Cuba. Government officials estimate that between $523,000,000 and $623,000,000 covers the total of farm imports that can be classed as compe titive with American products. Accepting the higher estimate for compari son, the figures show that imports of competi tive products in 1932 were only $296,00*5,000, or at the lowest point in the last fifteen years. In 1929, by contrast, the import of competitive products, including sugar, amounted to $1, 017,000,000. These figures include sugar im ports of $134,000,000 in 1935 and $209,000,000 in 1929. In connection, it should be noted that farm imports rose sharply during 1935 following the drought of 1934, but by no means reached the level of 1929, although doubling those of 1932. Increases involved feed grains, such as corn and rye, various grades of wheat, dairy pro ducts and meats. To do so they scaled a tariff of 42c a bushel on wheat, 25c on corn, 14c a pound on butter, 3c a pound on vegetable oils, and 16c a bushel on oats. Secretary Wallace frankly says that the farmers asked for a real program throughout the 1920’s in an effort to meet the situation created by surplus acres put into cultivation during the war. As a result, they were given high tariffs and he attempts to clinch his argument by saying that in 1932 they had surpluses three times the normal— corn at 10c, hogs at $2, wheat at 80c—and he asks rhetorically.
