Arkansa« A N EASY lesson In P rivate E n ter prise came to me 20 yearA ago and made a lasting Impression. A« a school teacher I knew nearly every body in a certain «mall town. In cluding a M r. Blake, the local oil jobber, who was 50 years old and prosperous. But Lknew young Dick Higgins better. H e ran the filling station nearest me. One day I saw Dick pulling down a Blake Oil Co. sign to nail up one that read: "Dick Higgins— dealer.” Suspecting some unpleasantness between my good friends, I asked no questions. But when Dick sold me gasoline he was happy and ta lk ative. He said he’d bought the «ta llon on good terms, and now was bis own boss; on his way to suc cess. Next day I made bold to tell the gray-haired Blake how liberal 1 thought he had been to give Dick his chance. "I never could mnke that station pay,” said Blake, sweeping away every hint of a big-hearted motive. But h i must have read my mind for he continued: "You see, I had to pay D ick’s salary before I could make a profit there. But Dick has it to himself now. His salary and his profit are all one thing.” A F T E R that I watched Progress Commences this neighborhood f ill ing station, and It was Interesting The big changes were In Dick himself. He worked longer hours. He did a better Job of sell ing. He took better care of the equipment simply because It was his. In short, he learned » lot about business and became a oetie/ oB man. Dick finally Joined Blake s civic club. Another station o p e r a t o r five blocks down the street had precisely the same opportunity and went broke In seven months. Dick got a number of the bankrupt's custom- 1 ers. P rivate enterprise Is no easy i boss. It has a reward for work and ; efficiency but, under it, the “lame ducks” of business eliminate them selves w ith deadly certainty. The Useful O P E R A T IN G u n d e r Ones Survive ,ree enterprise, own ers close up stores that don’t pay, or sell them to some body who can operate them more efficiently. In open competition, the retailer p r o f i t s most who serves best: a manufacturer leads his field by turning out the best product for a price; the most competent worker earns the best pay, and all because the consumer (and th at’s every body) buys where he can get the most for his money. Under a system of government control the consumer (and that's still everybody) buys where he 1» told and takes what he can get, re gardless of ability to pay. One manufacturer always leads the field; th at’s the government. Retail» r» who serve best don't profit.

"One of the chief reasons safe ty agencies In the state are spon soring safety week 1s to focus the attention of the public on the need for safety In every walk of life, In the home, In traffic, on the Job and In recreation,” Farrell said. “Time lost due to accidents In Oregon last year waa sufficient to build an additional 83 Liberty ships. That loss is far too great for a nation at war. "Industry spends great sums of money each year, in an effort to prevent accidents on the job. State and governmental agencies work constantly to reduce traffic ac cidents But it Is largely up to the Individual to prevent acci dents In the home." THEM AW AY!
