Without the knowledge of Christ, we cannot make It to heaven". A young man came to Jesus once and asked, "What must I do to enter Heaven?" Jesus answered, "Lackest thou one thing—Follow me."

GEORGE & BENSON f r i t t i t i ! — H t r d n f C t ll t f t S ti rtf. J r i t t u t Who Owns Business? "Who own« American corpora tion*?" That was the lead sentence of an Associated Press story re leased the other day. Point of this story was that the people own busi ness. Stockholders of five big com panies in representative Helds add ed together number 1,884.868, or enough people to make the fourth largest city of the United States. That Is correct, the people do own our corporations. It is right for people to own our business. I have often contended that in America you have the people own ing the wealth and resources of nation in much more direct and complete manner than you could ever have under any of the social istic dream Utopias. This is the straight answer to the Communistic dodge that the people are the state to which must be added the fact that in totalitarian countries the state owns the people. In America the people, in very real way, own the wealth and resources of the na tion. "Vested” Interests If you were to combine the popu lation of Nevada, Wyoming and Delaware, according to the Associ ated Press story, you would still not have as many people as own the American Telephone and Tele graph Company. A city composed of the 700,000 A T. AT. stockholders would be the tenth largest in the country. Moreover, it is significant that this corporation’s stockholders far outrank in number its 500,000 workers. This is generally true of American corporations, and when you add the stockholders to the employees, you - strengthen your picture of America as place where the masses have "vested” interests in the wealth of the nation. The stock holders of the richest railroad in the land, the Pennsylvania, outnum ber the employees almost four to three. They live in every state of the union, and on the average own 60 shares representing an individual Investment of $1.200. We’re All Dependent We think of General Motors, big gest automobile manufacturers, as having a lot of employees. Yet, except for a brief period at the peak of armament work during the war. General Motors stockholders have outnumbered employees for 17 years. More than a third of Gen eral Motors individual stockholders have holdings of 10 shares or few er. No single person owns more than 1.5 per cent of all General Mo tors stock. While it Is remembered that sometimes large blocks of stock will be owned by other companies, it must be kept in mind that these companies in turn have many stockholders. Notable also is the fact that many educational, chari table, and religious institutions, as well as non-profit associations and foundations, are on the rolls of ” big” business. No one knows just how many persons may be depend ent upon the successful operations of our corporations. In the truest sense, all of us are, either directly or indirectly. Most of the nation’s wealth has its source in the enterprise of a carefully conducted business. Nat ural resources must first feel the hands of men at machines. I can not imagine why any free Ameri can would wish to trade what we have in this country for any part of the vague economic systems that have produced only failure. Not only have these other systems failed to produce real blessings for their people in the form of higher living standards, but they have brought slavery instead of economic freedom. Mrs. Mattie^Thomason The birthdav party planned by the Oregon Trail Sunday school has been postponed until a later date. a Decreased work in predatory ani mal control this fall is contem plated in a program recently ap proved by the Oregon state game commission, F. B. Wire, state game supervisor, announced. The plans Include aerial poisoning, aerial coy ote hunting, use of trappers, hir ing o f dogs and other methods of control. Funds appropriated for amount paid by the commission for bounties and the $ 12.000 contributed annually to cooperative predator control program under the fish and wildlife service. Last spring the commission paid $3.390.63 for hunting coyotes from airplanes. Hunters during 271.15 hours flying time reported a kill of 624 coyotes with a probable ad ditional kill of 59. After several seasons of this method of control, coyotes are showing a marked in- It is anticipated that this form of control can be decreased somewhat by the commissin and more work done in other areas where need for control is urgent.
