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 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.

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

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
