Where Does the Profit Go?
For many year so-called "progressive" politi
cians have sought to garner votes by advocating
government ownership (socialization) of various
lines of business on the theory that the people
could thereby get things at cost by eliminating the
"profit motive."
Let's look at five 1954 financial statements,
such as are Issued by thousands of taxpaylng pri
vate companies. Then judge who "profits" most
from the earnings of business, before the owners
get a return which Is then taxed again as personal
income.
1. A hardware and household supply company:
Dividends and interest to stockholders
$ 1,516,000
Dividends to government
(taxes) 1,488,000
2. A small corporation dealng in
patents, electronics, etc.:
1,400,000
3,300,000
10,278,000
10,409,000
4,000,000
7,700,000
49,000,000

3. A midwestern railroad.

4. A moderate sized electric company:

5. A large oil company:

ni.,i,ir,n tn onvprnmont (taxes) 139,700,000
On every business the government takes over,
it loses the taxes because government business s
tax-exempt. But Government's need for taxes is
not thereby reduced-instead it is increased, and
the lost taxes are loaded onto remaining taxpay
ers as one penalty for socializing American enter
prise. The political drive to socialize the electric in
dustry, which pays over $1,300,000,000 annually
in taxes, is the best current illustration of tax
boosting socialism.

All Morrow county people re- conservation we m ght men
.rarrlless of whether they are that building organic matter Into
farm or towns people will be In
terested In the observance of Ore
gon State Conservation Week,
May 1 to 7. Newt O'llarra, County
chairman with his committee
heads have an active program
outlined which will bring to the
attention of everyone, the need
for the conservation of our na
tural resources. If your organi
zation would like to feature
something special on. conserva
tion during the observance of
conservation week or even before
or after this week, we would be
glad to help you. There are a
good number of conservation
films adapted to every kind of
audience as well as a story on
why we must conserve our na
tural resources.
The first observance of conser
vation1 will be before the week
gets under Way. The next regu
lar meeting of the Morrow
County Farm Bureau will devote
their time and attention to con
servation. E. R. Jackman, Range
Crops Specialist, Oregon State
College, who is known throughout
the country for his enthusiasm in
resource conservation, will be the
main speaker. We are sure that
he will bring a message of which
everyone will be concerned. Mor
row County Conservationist will
be recognized as well as other
conservation items. The meeting
will he held at the Willow
Grange hall in lone, April 20, be
ginning at 8:00 p. m. You will be
hearinc much about conservation
during the next couple of weeks.
While we are talking about
the soil is largely a matter of the
proper handling of residues ana
ample nitrogen fertilization.' Ni
trogen alone will not maintain
soil organic matter but must be
accompanied by crop residue as
well. Residues low In nitrogen
such ns grain straw along wun
i ho hup nf pommerc al nitrogen
can supply a source of actively
decomposable material in the
soil which tends to promote guuu
niwsiral nrooerties. No system of
management or crop rotation can
be expected to maintain or uuuu
up soil organic matter If the
amount of nitrogen removed in
harvesting crops or other soli
losses exceeds the amount of ni
trogen being returned to the soil
by legumes, manures and com
mercial fertilizers.
An important meeting of the
week of which you win una
more details elsewhere in this
newspaper is that of the Morrow
County Wheat Growers Associa
tion. It is the annual spring
meeting which will be held at
the Lexineton Grange hall r-riaay
evening, April 22nd. It begins at
8:00 p. m.
The program includes Bob Tay
lor, Umatilla County Wheat Far
mer and administrator of the
Oregon Wheat Commission who
will bring the farmers up to aaie
on farm programs in Washington
D. C. The main object of the
spring meeting is for standing
committee chairmen to report on
activities under way to carry
through recommendations that
were acted upon at the last an
nual meeting. Many of the ac-
tivltips arp based around recom
mnnrlations made by our Morrow
County wheat farmers at their
fall meeting. There are b com
mlttees to renort. We will also
hear an outline of major activi
tips nf the Wheat League by Ken
neth Smouse, lone, president ol

aim. Al Bunch. Heppner, who
hpads ud the State Conservation
Man nf the Year program will
outline activities planned in se

much interested in the article
"Spring Sold Calves Can Bring
More Profit". A contraversial
subject among many of our peo
ple is discussed in the article,
"Nitrogen Buy It or Grow It". It
is interesting to note that steers
on grass fertilized with nitrogen
returned $17.47 less per acre than
steers grazing a ladino clover

be interested, we think, in two

Faster, stronger cranking for cold-weather starts and

Highest standard compression ratio in Its field!
Chevrolet's compression ratio is 8 to 1, to wring every

gallon of gas.

Highest horsepower per pound!
These great V8's weigh far less than
any similar engine in America, top the
low-cost field in power per pound!
Shortest piston stroke in the industry!
Three-inch stroke reduces cylinder-wall friction,
generates less heat, permits more compact design.
