THE PULITZER PRIZE
EDITORIAL.
We reprint from the Atlantic,
Iowa, News-Telegraph, the edi
torial by E. P. Chase which won
the $500 Pulitzer Prize for dis
tinguished editorial writing dur
ing 1933. On December 2, 1933,
Mr. Chase, who is publisher, ed
itor and managing editor of the
News-Telegraph, published the
prize-winning editorial, "Where
Is Our Money?"
WHERE IS OUR MONEY?
IT IS announced that at 10 o'clock
tonight, Iowa time, William Ran
dolph Hearst, well know publisher,
will broadcast an address on the
subject which appears as the cap
tion of this article.
The subject is a broad one and
permits of many ramifications.
Likewise the query is a live one and
has been for several years with
many people who formerly were in
comparative affluence and have
found themselves suddenly in a po
sition where money is a scarce ar
ticle. The whereabouts of the mon
ey of the individual is perhaps be
side the point in this comment, if
we stick to the text, as doubtless
Mr. Hearst's broadcast will deal
with the whereabouts of the money
of the nation as a whole rather than
the financial plight of the individ
ual citizens, but the subject in
trigues one and suggests a line of
thought relative to the part the in
dividual has played in rendering
himself particulary susceptible to
the injuries inflicted by the period
of economic distress.
Inflated Land Values
Where is our money? Here in
Iowa, if competent statistics are to
be believed, during the ultra-pros
perous years of the World War
period when money flowed like wa
ter into the coffers of the farmer
and the business man and every
one else, some $200,000,000 of good
Iowa money went for stocks, shares
in half-mythical concerns which
were worth exactly their value aa a
piece of printed paper. During that
period and shortly thereafter
good many hundreds of millions
from the Middle West went into the
first and second mortgage bonds of
apartment hotels and the like, se
curity issued on appraisals inflated
to the nth degree. The most of
these bonds are now worth just
what the stocks we refer to are
worth the value of the paper and
the printing contained therein.
There is no way of estimating how
many hundreds of millions of mon
ey the country over went up in
smoke and vanished in thin air
when it suddenly dawned on us that
even the most productive land in a
section like ours Is not worth $300
or $400 an acre. It took only the
simplest mathematics to arrive at
that conclusion, for even at the
prices brought by farm products at
their peak, the return on the land
in this section would not pay in
terest on an investment of $300 or
$400 an acre. In can easily be re
called that during that hectic per
iod it was considered a mark of
provincialism not to buy a new
automobile every year. A lot of fur
coats and diamonds and a lot of
expensive clothes for both men and
women were indulged in by all
classes. The wage earner suddenly
awoke to the fact that by buying on
the installment plan he could keep
up with the Joneses and he not only
spent every cent he could get his
hands on in many instances, but he
pledged the major portion of his
wages or salary months ahead to
pay for automobiles and other ar
tides which were worn out by the
time he had completed the pay
ments.
These are but a few instances,
cases in point. One might go on in
definitely telling of the wild orgy
of spending and of contracting ob
ligations without thought of the
pay day and with little or no
thought of the economic soundness
of such spending. Then came de
Ration. We got down to cases. We
danced and are still paying the fid
der. Like children, we have sought
someone to blame for our plight,
and, also like children, we now seek
some magic way to cure our ills and
expect the government to supply
the cure. The man who contracted
debts does not want to pay them
Just now, because, in most in
stances, he cannot pay them. In
every way we have met the crisis
which was thrust upon us as though
we had nothing to do with produc
Ing It. As a matter of fact, we had
all to do with producing it. In the
proportion that the individual citi
zen went haywire with extrava
gance and reckless spending gov
ernmental units went on with th
same kind of an orgy and whooped
our taxes 100 per cent in ten years
Bond Issues were pyramided by
communities with the same disre
gard of the coming of the pay day
which characterized the individual,
We built great cathedrals of educa
tion, with motion pictures and
swimming pools and all sorts of
gecgaws and frills. We erected pub
lie buildings in many cases entirely
beyond possible needs of commu
nities for a hundred years. Just as
private enterprise overbuilt in ev
ery direction, governmental build
ing activities got out of bounds. The
people have to pay the bill. The
saturnalia of expenditure created
fixed taxes, and taxes have a habit
of certainty in good times and bad
times alike. With our incomes and
our business revenues depleted, our
tax bill in the main has remained
the same. All an echo of the period
of extravagance and wild-eyed in
flation which brought about our
troubles. We were talking about
two cars in every garage and a
chicken in every pot" and we made
much about the so-called American
standard of living, whatever that
meant. We insisted that all the
various elements of our population
should attain that standard, and
we instilled into the minds of many
people who could not afford it a de
sire for the things had by others
more fortunate in life. Oodles of
people who had no more business
with an automobile than a wagon
has with five wheels bought cars.
Oodles of people learned to live be
yond their means. It began to look
as if it would not be long until
there would be no one to do the
work of the country, as all were
seeking the same mythical standard
to which we referred. And we still
have the automobiles.
Trying to Place the Blame
The bottom went out of things.
Or it might be more appropriate to
say that the top was blown off.
Then the people of the United
States commenced to take stock.
Seeking someone to blame, they lis
tened to the fulminations of the
politicians who represented the
outs" and who told that the way
to cure their ills was to convert the
outs" into the "ins" and the "ins"
into the outs." This they did with
their usual disregard of essentials
and fundamentals. It became a
pleasing fiction to attribute our
plight to the tariff, and later to our
money standard. The people were
told that all that was necessary
was to reduce the tariff which pro
tects American manufacture and
agriculture, and all would be Jake.
Now they are being told that the
way to put money into the hands of
those who are penniless, and make
it possible for the debtor to pay his
obligations and start things moving
on a normal basis is to cheapen our
money. A lot of other experimental
schemes are being worked out by
an administration of which the peo
ple demand action. We are spend
ing huge sums of money, borrowed
for the purpose, in an endeavor to
squander ourselves back to pros
perity. In the face of the fact that
debt is one of the basic causes of
our troubles, we are following the
theory that incurring more debt
would cure us. And in the face of
the fact that excessive taxation Is
another of the causes of our trouble
we are laying the groundwork for
more of the same, under the delu
sion that the application of all of
these methods will relieve us of
the trouble which we brought on
ourselves, aided and abetted by the
worldwide economic upheaval.
Seeking Panaceas
We are a queer lot, we Ameri
cans. We expect whichever party
happens to be in charge of the gov
ernment to so manipulate the hand
ling of public affairs as to afford us
a cure for the results of our own
folly. We seem to assume that it is
possible for us to get well econom
ically by the waving of some magic
wand. We think we can force pros
perity, and to the majority of the
people of the country prosperity
I means a return to the hectic days
preceding the stock market crash
of 1929. This theory disregards the
fact that those hectic days were
created by a false and Inflated phil
osophy. In the creating of this In
flation we disregard all natural
laws of economics, so it Is but nat
ural for us to expect to cure the
trouble by the same process. But
it cannot be done.
The only way back to solid ground
and to a degree of prosperity and
well - being commensurate with
common sense and economic sound
ness will be by the application of
thrift and hard work and the bal
ancing of the budget by every in
dividual. The old haywire days are
gone forever But a large percent
age of our population still believe
in Santa Claus and in good fairies.
The cause of the present economic
condition of the country in large
measure can be ascertained by ev
ery citizen by looking lo the mirror.
Each one of us contributed his
share. There is nothing new about
all of this. It has been the history
of things in the world since the
earliest dawn of civilization. Par
ticularly has it characterized every
post-war period. Humanity never
learns. We have not progressed so
far in our thinking, after all.
Where is our money? The an
swer is not difficult It can be told
in one short sentence: We spent it.
