MCDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 30, 19$3 Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicatt, Inc. HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR ECONOMY GROW? (Thii it iht lecond of two articles en national growth economies) I 'We must move along the path to a higher rate of growth and full employment," said the President in his State of the Union message. "The sluggish rate of economic growth in recent years has not produced the revenues required to obtain budget surpluses under our present tax system," he i emphasized in his budget message. "The core of my 1963 (program) is major tax reduction and revision, carefully timed and structured to speed our progress toward full em ployment and faster growth," he stressed again in his eco nomic report. Obviously, the heart of the President's proposals for tax cuts in 1963-64 and his acceptance of huge budget deficits! into 1967 is an all-out attempt to spur the growth of the American economy. Yesterday's column gave a simple definition of economic growth: it is an increase in the total amount of goods and services available for each individual in our country. It also indicated that an economy grows in two basic ways: back to full capacity when it is "underweight" and to new heights of capacity to produce when the aim is long-run expansion. Today's column concludes this primer on the key economic story of 1963. How can an underweight economy gain weight? A fundamental way it can gain weight it by increasing the demand for what its workers produce. Higher govern ment spending can boost demand, for governments buy a considerable portion of the nation's output. Higher busi ness spending can hike demand (more on this below). High er consumer spending is crucially important, for consumers spend twice as much as governments and business put together. The key factor influencing the immensely important con sumer spending is the after-lax income of consumers, and therefore a key objective is increasing the disposable personal incomes of consumers. The federal government can help achieve this by paying out more than it takes in or by cutting personal income taxes or both for in each case more funds are left in the public's pockets. The Federal Reserve System can help achieve this by making borrowing easier and cheaper, for this encourages consumers to borrow and spend more than thry earn. Businessmen can help by introducing new and im proved products, new styles and status symbols, for this stimulates consumers to spend a higher percentage of their paychecks. A dominant goal of the lax cuts President Kennedy is urging is an increase in the after-tax income of consumers so they'll spend more and thereby spur our economy's growth. How can our economy's long-term growth be accelerated? A fundamental answer here is by expanding the ability of workers of all types to produce. Under today's cir cumstances the best way to do this is to make workers more efficient. American workers will become more efficient if (1) they have greater skills. Giving our workers greater skills is becoming a major drive in our country. They will be come more efficient if (2) they want to work harder. Low ering taxes to give them incentives to work harder is a way to do this. They will become more efficient if (3) new products, processes and work ideas are developed. On this, business' ingenuity is vital and the federal government can help by spurring research. They will become more efficient if (4) they can use improved machinery. Higher business investment in modern plants and equip ment is the key to point 4. Businessmen will hike these essential investments if they expect to make profits on the investments, if they have confidence in the economy's sta bility and "climate," if they are given incentives via lax credits, tax cuts and liberalized depreciation rules. They 11 also boost this spending if consumer spending rises, and so as the Reserve Bank of Philadelphia points out, "Actions taken to increase consumer demand may indirectly increase business investment and longrun growth as well. ' A farmer by himself cannot make a plant grow and government action by itself cannot make our economy grow. In each case the growth must come from "some inner spark." But just as the fertilizer the farmer uses can stimulate the plant's growth, so the actions government takes can stimulate the economy's growth. This is the story behind the story of the tax cuts and budget deficits. Dennis the Menace 'CUT IT REAL SHOW An' PAINT IT SWCK.

Problem of School Dropouts Before Graduation Studied By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist New York - 1LPI1 - A sreat deal of research is being done now on the problem of stu dent dropouts before gradua tion. This scriuus problem is closely related to delinquen cy, unemployment, and the national economy. Surveys of individuals with out high school diplomas show high percentages of unem ployment. Average income in creases with the length or level of education completed. There is also good evidence to indicate a connection between dropouts and delinquency. Obviously, there is good reason for concern about the completion fo one's education. There arc many economic and social values. Why do ? o m e students leave school before gradua tion? Reasons Vary In some cases, a student feels an obligation to earn money for himself or his family. It may be reasons of health or an inadequate school program is a contributing cause. A program which does not meet the needs and abili ties of an individual can re sult in a lack of interest and desire to continue in school. Whatever the cause, the re sult is undesirable. How should this problem be ap proached? Each situation must be considered individually. The job is complex. It takes cooperation and effort by par ents, schools, community agen cies, etc. The parent and student must understand the impor tance of education. The sacri fices which may be necessary are worthwhile. When diffi culties of this nature appear, help should be sought. The school guidance counsellor is generaly able to assist. So, very often, is the pastor or family physician. More Than Advice This kind of problem usual ly needs more than just ad vice. The student must be di rected to a school program which meets his needs. Voca tional assistance is valuable. The student and parent need the feeling that graduation will result in a more promis ing future. When money is part of the problem, additional family in come is difficult to turn down. Perhaps a part time position will help. If this is not suffi cient, further steps can be taken. The school might bring in other local agencies. Parents who recognize and understand the problem can be most helpful. They can, through proper guidance, do a great deal to assist a student to remain in school. Natural ly, the school can do little to help a student when his par ents want him to leave. Listen to the Easter bunny, and sew this pert, pretty sun-1 dress for a little girl. Sew-easy!
