"SMALL BUSINESS’’
- By C. W IL S O N HAR D ER
Every so often the press
agents on the payroll of the
Department
of
Agriculture
rush out reams of m aterial
seeking to establish that the
American housewife is actually
paying less for food than some
period a few years ago; the
period depending on the whim
of the writer.

C. W. H a r d . r
legations seem to fall Into the
same category as the report
of the government statist!« Ian
who drowned while wading
across a stream with an aver
age depth of three feet.
• • •
Actually, the costs have to be
higher, because included in the
price of every container or
package of canned or frozen
food, there must be figured in
the cost of the unworked hours
devoted to putting these prod
ucts on the market.
• • •
Under existing law. except
in the states of Alaska, Ala
bama, and New Jersey, the
employer pays the entire cost
of unemployment Insurance
Tho Federal government only
pay* Ihe states a fee for ad
ministering the system.

The tax the employers pay is
based on their employment « x-

Icm for employers in the can
ning. freezing or packing indus
tries where the work is seaonal
in nature. Hundreds of thous
ands of students, housewives,
and other part time workers
are employed during the grow
ing seasons. As soon as the
season ends, they draw unem
ployment Insurance for many
weeks afterwards.
• • •
Thus, by and large, food pro-
cessng industries pay a much
higher rate than employers in
non-seasonal operations.
• • •
But of course, the extra mon
ey to pay this higher tax rate
for work not performed does
not, as some politicians would
infer, come out of thin air. B
has to be added to the cost of
the goods.
* a •
Thus, this one item alone is
quite responsible for keeping
food prices at a higher level
than necessary.
• • •
In a recent poll conducted by
the National Federation of In
dependent Business, 87% of the
nation's Independent business
and professional people voted
In favor of requiring the worker
to pay for a portion of the un
employment insurance tax.

After all. if it is proper to
force the employer to lay aside
money for the employee’s rainy
days, it is quit* fair that ths
employee should be forced to
lay aside some while worklrg.
for his future benefit.
