ABOLISH CONTROLS By CHARLES V. STANTON ' Congressman Harris Ellsworth advocates an end to price and wage controls when the authority bill expires June 30. He requests comments from constituents. Our personal opinion is that the quicker we kick con trols out the window, the better off we'll be. What is the program doing? ! When wage increases were frozen at 10 percent, de mand immediately was made for the allowable boost. Wages went up far mdre tlmn they normally would have advanced without control, legislation. Prices likewise went to the maximum. As price con trols were made flexible, to include higher production costs, they also reflected the new wage boosts. Thus cost of living took a high bounce. , As the next step, labor leaders pointed to higher cost of living, contended that the 10 percent wage restriction was too low, branded the program as a deal for Big liusiness, and pulled a boycott on the whole scheme.. The only condition upon which labor will come back into the program will be a further relaxation of wage con trols, which, if granted, will shoot prices up again, which, in turn, will force more wages and so on up the inflationary spiral. Netd Psychology Change We need a change in our thinking. For 20 years we have been living under a "scare" psy chology scare and scarcity. To combat the great depres sion, we conceived a plan of producing inflation by creat ing scarcity. We plowed under the little pigs, paid farmers not to grow crops, subsidized employment and built a false front of economy on a foundation of deficit spending. We are told about our record-breaking economy, but very lit tle about the existing and growing national debt. We are lulled into acceptance of national budgets containing bil lions for unessential purposes support money for bureau cratic agencies, departments and administrations having little necessity other than spending taxpayer money and making votes for the political machine. Douglas county, the most heavily timbered county in the United States, lias approximately 70 billion feet of tim ber. If you want to get some idea of the size of our national budget, take a look at an average Douglas fir tree. That tree probably contains approximately 3,000 board feet. Now imagine 3,000 silver dollars slacked up at the base of that tree and 3,000 silver dollars at the base of KVKItY TRKK IN DOUGLAS COl'NTY. Just think for a moment - a stack of 3,000 silver dollars at the base of KVKRY tree in t h e most heavilv timbered county in the United Stales. There still wouldn't, be enough trees to be used as stack . , ,,u -1 ing places for all the Sliver $71 billion budget. Think that one over! We need to think about these things. We can't go on for ever with a false-front e-onomy based on a mounting public debt. We can't forever live under scare and scarcity. Need Plan Of Abundance We need to start thinking in terms of abundance rather than scarcity. If our food prices are too high, we can raise more food, or import food, and prices will find a natural levpl based on surpluses Instead we pay farmers not to grow food, try to control prices on scarce commodities, pay out additional millions to hire control officers, inspectors, investigators, administrators, clerks and lame duck party hacks, then complain about the high cost of living. By abundant production, bolstered by importation nf scarce materials, we can prevent scarcity. Surpluses would prevent price increases. 1'rices, controlled by natural means, would keep a stable wage level based on competi tion, not manipulation. We couldn't, of course, expect a transformation o v e r night. We would find selfishness and greed attempting to continue scarcities. Conditions, in fact, probably might be almost chaotic for a lime. But a sensible and gradual readjustment to a program and psychology of abundance rather than scarcity could cure most of our economic ills, something that never ran be accomplished under 'he treatment now prescribed for our ailment a prescription that only drugs our pain while our condition grows steadily worse. Controls are needed only in the most extreme emer gency. They are not needed now. Congressman Kllsvorth has the right idea.
