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. ★ ★ ★ Tax As An Inflation Preventative!

ROGER'M. KYES‘~‘ Director. NalionaJ F*/m Youth Found4t»oe 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 ident of Trail.

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.
