Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1942. Business After the War Babton Prucbd on "Enterprise vs. Entertainment" after the war? We can even disarm them; but thU will not prevent them from working harder and longer than we do. Thii latter Is what will count most after the war. We cer tainly will lose In the end un less we again encourage enter prise by reducing taxes, curbing labor unions and teaching our children to do what they don't want to do when they don't want to do It! The various New Deal pro- grama of price-fixing, rationing, bonuses, pensions, short hours, double-time wages, leaf raking, free entertainment, food stamps and raising taxes instead of babies might be okay If we were the only nation; but we are not. Every American and Canadian city must after the war sell Its labor and its products in new world markets. Some day we shall have tre mendous competition from the people of Europe, Asia and Africa. To these people, Presi dent Roosevelt has promised "freedom from fear and want." No tariff can then be high enough to keep out the products of our allies, the English, Dutch, Russians and Chinese; let alone the products of Ger many, France, Italy and Japan. For a few years after the war, while Europe Is recouping, busl ness should be good; but only a return to real religion, hard work, longer hours and free en terprise will prevent a late de pression of tremendous magnitude. , Gloucester, Mass., July 17. For the past two weeks I have been vlsit'ng here In the city where I was brought up. In fact, I am writing this column in the house in which I was born and on the lot of land upon which the first Babson squatted. She was Isabel Babson who landed here in 1637. Let me add that one of my ancestors who lived In this 12-room house had 21 children. He had a real hedge against both inflation and depression! Enterprise Sapped By Growing Taxes What changes do I notice here from year to year? The chief one end this applies likewise to thousands of other cities is the lack of enterprise. In fact, this was evident before the pre sent war. The truth is that the money which was formerly risked In developing new indus tries has, for the past 10 years. been needed to pay new taxes This is a very sad fact which must be corrected if cities like Gloucester are to thrive again Increased taxes have not cut living expenses but have come wholly out of money wnlcn heretofore went into new build ings, new factories, new ships and other investments. This is the real reason for the unem ployment which preceded the war and which is bound to come .again, some time after the war, unless the taxes are greatly re duced. More Entertainment. Less Work Is Aim I am troubled by the shorter hours which everyone "except mother" is working. Stores, which used to open at T a. m.. do not open until 8:30 a. m, called upon a prominent farmer 'on July work day and found .him and his family in bed at 7:30 a. m. Yet, the night before .he complained about the short age of farm labor! Of course the labor unions are now power ful here; they also are helping to kill enterprise. Fifty years ago we all went to bed fairly early, very few were on the streets after dark. Now, Main street Is so full of ears, belonging to people at ! tending the evening movies, that ' you can hardly get through. 'Although enterprise Is dead, every form of entertainment Is booming. A city progresses, .however, through work, not through amusement. Church Attendance hows Big Decline I im especially troubled by -the decline In church attend ance. The Roman Catholic church appears an exception; but most of the Protestant churches have very small con gregations. A big church, which used to be packed dur . lng my boyhood days, and where on Sunday mornings you found the leading men of the city, now looks very forlorn. Yet, cities must have vital and growing churches In order to prosper in the long run. , The way chain stores have supplanted the local merchants Is very noticeable. Moreover, the successful Independent stores are mostly owned by Hebrews, Greeks and Italians. This is no criticism of these races; in fact, it Is to their credit. They have been willing to work harder and save money while the native people could not stand the gaff. These new races, moreover, are rightly having large families while the descendants of the bid stock seem content with only one child or even none. What of Builnesa After the WarT "What has all this to do with business after the war?" you ask. Let me tell you. We can lick the Germans and Japanese during the war, but can we SLATED JULY 26 The annual South and North Dakota picnic will be held Sun day, July 26, at Jackson Hot Springs.
