*how and short course sponsored
by the vocational agriculture classes
and F F.A. chapter of the Edcouch-
Elsa communities will be held Oc-
tober 24. 25 and 26
Purpose of this show and short
course is to stimulate farmers and
farm women to improve their home
flocks. Hoke McKim. vocational ag-
riculture instructor, said Friday.
McKim said Valley's poultry mar-
ket compares favorably with any
other part of Texas and there is
an opportunity for an increased in-
come from poultry on the average
farm in our community.
As a result of this situation, three
evening meetings have been ar-
ranged for, when those who are in-
terested in poultry will hear speak-
ers on the subject.
Rules for the poultry show
as follows:
An entry will consist of one male
and four females of the same age
and breed.
An exhibitor may enter three pens
each in each breed class
No entry fee will be charged.
Exhibits will be fed, watered and
cared for by the show officials.

Automobile Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation Saturday in a setting de-
signed to emphasize hemispheric
and the productive re-
sources of American industry.
It was the 41st annual national
automobile show—an “All-Amer-
ican presentation” for the first
time in many years because of the
absence of any foreign exhibitor
and participation by Henry Ford
for the first time in more than
three decades. There were 18
makes of passenger cars and eight
of commercial vehicles. There
were 40 old-time cars, veterans of
some famous speed contest or en-
durance tour, to dramatize the
progress made in four decades.
The show opened Saturday af-
ternoon with greetings from Pres-
ident Roosevelt w ho w rote to Al-
van McCauley, president of the
Automobile Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation. that “it is a tribute to this
nations productive ability that
the automobile companies, now
joined in mass production of
armaments for defense, at the
same time are providing improved
vehicles to meet the needs of our
population ”
WASHINGTON—GF*—Nine states have barred the Communist p-irty
from the November 5 election ballot—four of them on the ground that
it favora overthrow of the American form of government.
The nine are Arisona. Arkansas. Georgia, Illinois, Kansas. Ken«
lucky, Ohio. Washington, and West Virginia
Wiaconsin has refused the party places on the ballot because it failed
to poll sufficient votes in prior elections, but has allowed four of Ita
^candidates to run as independents.
Earl Browder, present Common*
tot candidate for President, also
made the race in 1936 He received
80.159 votes in approximately 3i
states.
The Communist party has sevew
candidates for the Senate. 21 for
the House, nine for governor and
21 for other state offices.
States banning Communist party
candidates on the ground that the
party advocates overthrow of tha
government are Ar nona. Arkansas,
Georgia, and Washington.
California has taken action to har •
Communists from the ballot but
the law is not effective until 1941
and the party will be on the Novem-
ber 5 ballot
The party lost Its ballot in Ken-„
i tucky and West Virginia on charg-^
es of fraud in the nominating peti-
tions: in Illinois and Ohm in other
petition technicalities: and in Kan-
sas because the state supreme court
upheld the contention the party had
no legal existence in that state.

By ROGER BABSON
BABSON PARK. Mass -The 1940
tax legislation shows how the Amer-
iccan people are thinking. One of
its most interesting features is that
the excess profits tax law favors
companies having earnings of les*
than $25,000 a year. Of course,
this is a direct subsidy to smallei
corporations.
Tw a Vital Questions
Should the $25.000 apply to earn-
ings of a company or to earnings
of individual stockholders in that
company? Is there any reason why
a Sen-share stockholder in a large
corporation should be taxed any
more than if he held the same
amount of stock in a small com-
pan> ’ It certainly seems unfair
to penalize with more taxes, direct
or indirect, a man w’ho receives
earnings from dividends of $5,000
from each of five big companies,
and l*'t go “scot free" one who has
earnings from dividends up to $25.-
00O from one small company.
This is not a criticsm of the tax
law: I use it merely as an illus-
tration to show the trend against
bigness even though bigness often
means efficiency from which con-
sumers benefit. In talking with
congressmen, however, 1 find that
other factors are also working in
favor of the smaller concerns. Let
me mention some of them:
Fear Of Monopolies
All the political parties in their
platforms have taken a stand against
monopolies, even though they may
reduce consumer prices in many
instances. Monopolies are contrary
to democracies. Congressmen are
especially bitter against them be-
cause of a monopoly's ability to
h re high-priced lobbies!* Some
congressmen tell me that these
lobbyists threaten to spike their
elections if they vote for anti-
monopoly legislation. Yet, there
is no reason why our biggest cor-
porations. even those having mon-
opolies. cannot operate as justly m
the interests of the public a* small-
er concerns. It is, however, hard
to make John Public believe this.
Perhaps much legislation against
bigness is due to the “inferiority
complex" of the small manufacturer.
Doubtless it is difficult for many
such to compete with big corpor-
ations; but the reason often is due
t<> the plant being located in tne
v ’ locality or being operated in-
effJKtly. Cert., nly. small cor-
porations should be able to change
their policy and their products much
more rapidly than large corpora-
tions and thus keep ahead of them.
If a young man. 1 would rather
work for a small corporation than
a big one. Chances for advance-
ment are much better.
Trend To Urge Decentralization
The war is bound to have tre-
mendous effects along various lines.
Of all changes, effect upon the de-
centralization of industries may be
mo**t important. The current idea
that shirts can be manufactured
more efficiently in a single place
and under one roof may seem sound
on paper. Textile manufacturer*
in England, however, have found
that, in practice, they are liable to
lose their own shirts as well as their
employee* by such a policy.
The attitude of labor leader* in
large cities is also a factor in de-
centralization. The C I O. has been
much more successful in closing
plants in the case of big concerns
operating under one roof in one lo-
cality. Manufacturers are fast learn-
ing that it is bad business from a
lauor point of view to have “all
one's eggs in one basket.” Letter*
which 1 receive from abroad show
clearly that it is safer in every
way have five plants, each em-
ploying a thousand people in five |
different cities, than to have one
big plant employing five thousand
• jn one locality. After the war. it
niav be illegal in England and on
the Continent to build a factory to
employ in one locality more than a
thousand—perhaps even than five
hundred.
(.nod News For Small Concerns
All of the above should be good
new* for smaller concerns, operat-
ed by the owners —especially by
those who founded the business
Certainly, one concern employing
a thousand workers in one locality
should be able to operate as effi-
ciently—yes. more so—than a big
concern with five plants m five dif-
ferent cities. The chief advantage
that the big concern has its in
connection with advertising. A
page in a newspaper or magazine
does not cost the big concern any
more Than it doe* the small con-
cern. and yet the cost to the big
concern per unit sold should be
onlv one-fifth.
Furthermore, this new trend
should help the credit of smaller
independent concerns Bank* and
investors are hipped on blue-
chip*” Tliey think loan* should
be made only to big companies and
shares purchased only in the big-
gest of these. Perhaps bank* and
investors have a surprise ahead.
I visualize a new form of bank- '
jng. New investment companies as i
distinct from existing bank* w.l
not accept deposits < u hich are irea -
|y an indebtedness payable before
the stockholders can liquidate a
pennyL but will loan their share
capital directly to small concerm
and carefully watch them Such
companies could keep out of declin-
ing industries and gradually ge’
into growing industries The *tiKk
in these new investment compame*
should furnish investors excellent
diversification and a good safe in-
come. The mam difficulty now
with securities of small concerns
is their very thin market They
are hard to sell in «n emergency.
One Final Thought

and the dangers of big concerns u f
