ARTHUR EDWARD POWELL Editor and Proprietor EDITORIALS ON BEHALF OF YOUR POCKETBOOK As everyone knows, there Is often a great difference between the price a farmer gets for the food products he sells, and the price the ultimate consumer must pay. A long list of charges is respons ible for that difference. It costs money to transport food, to process and pack It, to preserve It, to carry on the vast machinery that operates between producer and consumer, and, finally, to sell It at retail. Many of those costs are unavoid able and necessary. Borne are not. And the great problem of food dis tribution is to eliminate those which are not, while at the same time ef fecting any possible reductions In the essential ocsts. About fifteen years ago, when the nation was appalled by high post war food costs, better distributing and selling methods were started. These methods managed to do away with a number of old “ Middleman" costs— they cut others. In less than a generation, they made constant Hnd remarkable progress. Today a similar situation obtains — food prices are rising, and there Is danger that they will go beyond the point where the people can com fortably pay. The solution, then, Is the same as it was fifteen years ago: To advance as rapidly as possible the work of cutting costs between producer and consumer. Few undertakings are so valuable to the American pncketbook— few deserve such wide-spread support from the great American public, which must pay the bill for wasteful and Inefficient food distributing methods. TO TH E A V E R A G E MAN This is addressed to men of av erage means who have been sub jected to the widespread fallacy that the rich pay, or should pay, praetlc- ully all of the taxes, and that the poor and moderately well-to-do re- c Ive, or should receive, the benefits of govrninent for next to nothing Here are two facts for you to think over: Eighty per cent of all taxes In this nation are "hidden"— that Is, they represent purt of the cost of articles and services, and must be paid by the consumer. The total net taxable income— not taxes paid -o f all American corpor ations In 1933, was »2.500,000,000. The total net taxable Income of per sons with net Incomes In excess of Again— The People Speak By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National C.huuman Sentini’h of the Republic An event of unusual Import to those who would tinker with the United States Constitution has occurred re cently In Pennsylvania — the state wherein our National Charter of Liber ties was conceived and written. There, for the first time since recent efforts to remould our Federal Con stitution along the lines of the newer political philosophy gained national prominence, the people themsrlvrs were given opportunity to say what they thought uf that sort of tiling. Emphatically they rejected the Idea. Dominated by the vote from rural districts and the smaller cities, they decided that this was no time to risk the possible writing Into fundamental law of various unproven theories now being urged throughout America as a substitute for crystallized experience. The people of Pennsylvania, of course, voted only on the question of revising their own state constitution But funda mentally- and despite whatever politi cal spokesmen on either side may claim some of the principles Involved were comparable to those brought Into prom inence by the nation-wide efforts of certain groups to remould our Federal Constitution into a form more readily Influenced by passing fears and passions. in the response may be read a heartening message of encouragement to all who oppose efforts to scrap cer tain essential elements of our American system of government In favor of new and untried theories. It Is: That the great body of the people— the men and women who constitute the backbone of America -are not at this time in sympathy with a policy of sudden# ,'hanges They realise that while it was the Declaration of Inde pendence that proclaimed personal Lib erty. 1» Is the Federal ConstltwUon that assures it They do not Intend In sur render that guarantee.

It Is of more than passive Interest that the Yule- tide closes that quarter of the year when automobile accidents, deaths and Injuries are at an annual peak, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. How horrible is the thought that as we approach the days when the sen timent, "God Will to All", Is glori fied throughout the land, the carn age of wrecks and broken bodies Is strewn more than ever over the face of our country. A great deal has been said about the necessity of courtesy in driving ns an accident preventive measure. Driving at speeds reasonable for con ditions. sharing the road, passing properly, using correct hand signals, avoiding all those actions which make driving dangerous and uncom fortable for the other fellow, are the dictates of courtesy and manners So, too. are they dictates of the prin ciple of the good neighbor. Good dri ving. with a real desire to safeguard the lives of those exposed to the con- aeqnnees of that driving. Is practical Christianity. It Is a kind of practical Christianity that followers of all < reeds can subscribe to as they Join In the common rejoicing at this Christmas season. The first concern of the churches of America Is the saving of souls. By entering with whole-hearted activi ty Into the automobile safety move ment. they can extend their activity to the saving of lives, without viola ting their first purpose. The blot upon s soul ss a result of killing or nbUmlng another through oareles* or heedless action. Is one not easily erased The churches have the ad vantage of being able to appeal to a great section of the drivers of the country on occasions when they are most receptive to the Idea of good will as • driving maxim.
