Unity Of Purpose Needed!
Thirteen million man-days of work were lost the
first five months of this year, according to Fortune
magazine. Strike flare-ups in various industries and
the pending strike vote of the railway workers give
further evidence that there still is a lack of unity in
this country’s war aims.
Labor alone can win the war, for without the sup-
port of its industrial production, warfare, both politi
cal and military, are impotent. So it is highly import
ant that the workers realize their responsibility and
the necessity of victory to their own cause, for war
cannot be won with labor on strike or with troops
guarding factories.
Considering the pre-defense boom days of unem
ployment and relief it is understandable that the work
ers might wish to cash in on the present boom. How
ever, their excessive demands seem to be lacking in
farsightedness as to the ultimate effects which may
backfire on labor itself. It is said that the depth of the
post-war deflation will be almost exactly equal to the
height of the defense inflation and probably no single
factor would contribute more towards inflation than
than the granting of the 30 percent wage increase now
demanded by’ the railway workers. This tremendous
boost in operating expenses, which the railroad asso
ciation claims w’ould amount to $900.000,000 annually,
would for the most part come from increased charges
for hauling which in turn would be reflected by im
mediate price rises. When judged in the light of “real
gains labor is only temporarily ahead with the possi
bility of living costs passing them up later.
So it is hoped that unity of purpose will soon find
its way into our industrial system in order that this
country may not suffer the internal weakening which
lead to the downfall of France.

TWO KINDS OF SECURITY
Every day we hear of more
city-bred business and profes
sional men buying farms. Most of
them look upon these purchases
as investments in future security,
and they have
found sound rea
sons behind their
thinking.
Bricks and
mortar, and ma-
chines and fac-
tories and stores
are by their very
nature bound to
disappear in
time. They are
Kyes
subject to con
stant changes
which affect their real worth. But
the land does not change, if it re
ceives reasonable care. An invest
ment in a good farm is a perma-
nent investment. Its dollar value
may vary from year to year, but
it still remains the same farm,
ready to produce the vital neces-
sity—food.
The land offers two kinds of
security. The first is simple and
elemental — merely something to
eat. Any man with hands and
feet and energy can raise enough
food for himself and his family,
That’s basic security, reduced to
its lowest terms.
The broader kind of security
offered by the land is protection
for a way of living—a fuller kind
of life than mere subsistence.
As the new’ tax bill moves ponderously on toward
enactment, criticism of many of its provisions mounts.
Main criticism is that the bill will not provide much
of a check on inflation, for the reason that it does not
not levy large enough taxes on the groups which are
receiving most of the financial benefits from defense
spending.
As Ernest Lindley puts it, “If the economists are
correct in foreseeing a total sum of purchasing power
in excess of goods available, the lower income groups
must be prevented from spending part of their money.
It could be taxed out of them in several ways: By low
ering income tax exemptions, by a payroll tax and by
applying either a sales tax or a multitude of excise
taxes.’’
There are plenty of evidences of price inflation now LEWIS BOYD TUCKER
Funeral services were held at
—which is an inevitable result of the combination of I Medford
afternoon of July 30 for
more money and fewer goods. Most economists are Lewis Boyd
Tucker. He was bom
Jacksonville April 27, 1876, and
worried over the apparent fact that Congress doesn’t in
the time of his death was a res
regard taxing the lower income groups at “good at

The farmer who is a good man
ager can always tlnd a cash mar
ket for 'something that he grows,
and from it secure the money to
buy the things he cannot raise
himself. •
To earn that kind of security
—to live what we have come to
look upon as the American way
of living—this one sound principle j
should never be overlooked; plan
your crop \x?fore you plant it.
Another way of stating that im
portant fact is "raise a crop that
will sell, instead of selling the |
crop you raise."
When you get right down to
bed rock in thinking, all the talk
we have listened to about starva
tion farm prices has its beginning I
with the farmer itself.
We ar? overproduced on wheat
an<i com and cotton, largely be
cause too many farmers haven't j
learned to plan before they plant.
What would you think, for ex- I
ample, of a manufacturer of au- ,
tomobiler who persisted in build- |
ing 25 percent more cars than
his market would absorb. Just I
because he had facilities for mak- I
ing 100 cars a day, would he be j
wise to build that many, knowing |
that he could only sell 75 a day? ,
We would accuse such a manu
facturer of being a poor planner,
a poor manager, no matter how
good his product.
Yet that's the very kind of thing
our farmers have been doing for
a generation. It is one of the (
basic things we must some day i
correct to achieve real agricul .
tural prosperity. Some day agri
culture will be operated, not on
a theory of scarcity or a theory
of surplus, but on a plan of pro
ducing enough. Perhaps agricul- (
ture today is too big and too scat- .
tered to plan as carefully as that, 1
but the individual fanner can plan
that way.
The man who gauges his pro- 1
duction by what he can use, plus
what he can sell, will make
money out of farming. He will
earn that security we like to talk
about, but that so few of us ever
achieve.
