Sometimes a kid's whim can give
parents a Dig pain in tne necK, as
Mrs. Juanita Masters of Carrlzo
Springs can testify. Her little

Billy cried, Mrs. Masters said,
so she stopped at the small air
port they were DassinE.

Gary Ray Cox; Mrs. Pat Owens,
and a pilot listed as Frank Rogers
took off in a light plane.
The plane sputtered as It left

Auto Accident Kills
Survivor Of Big Flood
KLAMATH FALLS, Nov. 3.
UP) William E. Beck, 69, a sur
vivor of the famous Johnstown,
Pa., flood of 1889, died here
Wednesday of Injuries received in
an automobile accident last Sun
day. His death brought Klamath
county's traffic toll for this year
to 15 and was the fifth fatality
attributable to automobile acci
dents in nine days.
Beck was Injured Sunday morn
ing on the Merrill highway near
Henley school when his car was
sideswiped by a vehicle driven by
Jack Barbour, Klamath area
farmer.

living in Klamath Falls.
He was a native of Johnstown.
Tarsus, a town in Turkey the
harbor of which was visited by
Cleopatra's fleets, is now an in
land town 10 miles from the sea
because of land washed down
from the interior.
It is believed that the petri
fied forest of Arizona was once
covered by a sea at which time
the tissue of the trees was re
placed by stone. ,
About one f oucth of the nation's
vegetables are grown in California.

which means more people with
money to spend and. In turn,
creates more customers. And the
more things people can buy that
they want, the higher their stand
ard of living.
Although America has 150,000,
000 people, all potential custom
ers for American goods moving
freely, Hoffman says Europe has
270,000,000 people, potential cus
tomers for European goods. But
Tariffs, Quotas Barriers
In Europe goods don't move
freely. There the set-up is differ
ent. To see how different, Imagine
an American like this:
The 48 strftes are separate and
Independent. Each has Its own
money: New York with the dol
lar, New Jersey with the franc,
and so on. Each state has its own
army, language and national tra
ditions going back hundreds of
years. Over those years each
state has tried to be self-sufficient,
more or less.
To protect the producers from
outside competition, each state
has set up barriers to make it
hard for goods from another state
to get in. How? By such devices
as tariffs and quotas.
For example: New Jersey and
New York manufacturers turn
out hats worth $5. To protect its
hatmakers, New York has a tariff
of $10 on New Jersey hats sold
in New York. So in New York a'
hat sells for $5 but the same $5
New Jersey hat sells Jn New
York for $15.
Or, as an example of the quota
system: New York won't let in
more than 100 New Jersey hats a
year. Such a quota, plus the tariff,
makes it pretty tough for New
Jersey hatmakers to sell in New
York. .
So, with all these obstacles to
interstate trade, the manufactur
ers in each state turn out their
goods mainly for the people of
their own state. That limits the
market and the incentive to
produce.
I If New York, says, has 10,000,-
000 people while all 48 have 150,
000,000, the New York hatmakcr
is missing a potential market of
140,000,000. .
Since his market is compara
tively small and competition from
outside manufacturers Is cut off,
the New York manufacturer
doesn't produce on a mass basis.
So his production costs are
higher.
He'd have to be more efficient,
producing more cheaply, If he
were competing against hatmak
ers tn all 48 states. But doesn't
he have to compete against other
New York hatmakers to capture
the New York trade?
Not If. the New York hatmakers
make deals, dividing up the New
York market among themselves
so all of them can stay in bus
iness. This helps the Inefficient
hatmaker. He stays In business,
his prices stay up.
This picture of the 48 states Is,
crudely, thi picture of modern
Europe. ,
So when Hoffman tells Europe
to "unify its economy," he's urg
ing a European economic set-up
like that of the United States:
Elimination of trade barriers,
competitive production for 270,
000,000 Europeans instead of the
people of just one nation and the
jobs and efficiency he thinks that
would mean, plus a straightening
out of the tangled European
money system.
Hoffman is talking of an econ
omic Europe something like the
United States. He's not suggest
ing they all form one govern
ment. That might come later or
have to follow.
