Editor, American:
Good-bye, folks. I hate to be
gone so long, but I am not coming
anymore until you come. I like
people, and 1 really believe thin-
ought to be people. Per'naps that
is the reason I didn't invent the
atomic bomb or write a book on
birth control.
1 love people even more than I
love my own dog. I would even
share my dog's food with an un-
fortunate stranger and risk the
chance of his being human. Per-
haps that is why I have always
been called a crank or a fool. When
most people get more than they
themselves or their dogs can use,
they just play with it. Very con-
ventional.
By studying humanity for more
than three score years. I have dis-
covered that there are only three
kinds, classes or categories of pen
pie. They are the doers, the getters
and the go-getters. The hitter are
the most numerous of all. The
highways are full of them. They
are always going somewhere and
getting something. I did.
Sometimes a go-getter gets a

fortune and keeps it. He is then
classed as a success, whether he
gets it by accident or otherwise. He
is then admitted into the getter
class as a member in good stand-
ing. 1 was.
The doers feed the world, the
getters rob the world, and the go-
gi tters disturb the world. Most
politicians and some preachers are
go-getters. About t'ne only time it
is safe to deal with a getter or
a go-getter is when he is praying.
What a wounderful world
This would be
Should L live for you
And you for me,
If the just could rule,
The selfish cared to obey
And Christians would live
As they pray.

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN
Senator Says Prosperity Chain
No Stronger Than Farm Link
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
TT/ASHINGTON—(NEA)—Republican Sen. Homer E. Capehart of
W Indiana says the Republican Party has got to start thinkm To
promote this endeavor, Senator Capehart has " t^,*page
pamphlet. Its tentative title is "The, Key to Sound Prosper y-
Carl H. Wilken, Sioux City, la. economist who now has offices in
Washington, wrote the booklet. Senator Capehart is
Wilken in his studies, but the senator makes clear that he does no.t
put his stamp of approval on it all. Some of it he agrees with, and
some of it he does not agree with. But says the Hoosier senator, My
interest is to stimulate thinking."
The Wilken economic theories will stimulate thinking, all right,
but there's no telling what kind. Basis of the Wilkin doctrine is that
there must be a sound farm economy before there can be anything
else sound ,
This appeals to Senator Capehart, who was born poor, began lite
as a farm hand, then became a farm tenant and a big farm owner,
along with his manufacturing activities. Incidentally, Senator Cape- *
hart is running for re-election this November, and has a race on his
hands against Alex Campbell, former assistant attorney general.
But to get back to the Wilken thesis, he begins by a finding that
"the very laws of nature and production establish capitalism as the
natural form of economy." He goes on from there to state that "The ^
failure of our capital economy to retain stability is due to price
fluctuations which change the dollar value of new wealth."
Wilken's purpose, therefore, is to ur^over the natural laws of ex-
change. which can then be used as yardsticks to make our economy
work better and give us greater stability. The booklet is full of
tables and charts. Much of the data—though not the conclusions-
are taken from the President's Economic Report to Congress.
"A careful check of the record," writes Mr. Wilken, "will reveal
that each $1 of gross farm income will generate $7 of national income."
Tliis is Mr. Wilken's "Key to Prosperity."
"Once we realize this simple, yet positive, r^tio of gross farm pro-
duction to national income, we can set up this dogmatic conclusion—
no iliticnl Bprty can operate the economy of the United States on a
basis of full employment and na'tional solvency unless it is willing to
stabilize our gross farm income at a level high enough to provide the
national income required."
yHIS sounds a little like a GOP Brannan plan, but it isn't.
"The seven-times trade turn of gross farm income is in reality our
efficiency ratio of per man production," insists Mr. Wilken. "It exists
primarily because each average farm worker produces enough farm
raw materials for himself and six other workers."
The conclusion which Mr. Wilken draws from this is that to create
economic stability and protect national income from severe losses due
lo unnecessary drops in price levels, the country should stabilize the
prices of non-perishable farm crops.
"The price of our basic non-perishable crops should be stabilized
at parity with the value of an ounce ol gold, the yardstick for our
monetary measuring in world trade," says Mr Wilken "Such a step
would stabilize our price level for commodities at 169 py cent of the
1925 to 1929 period, or the same relationship between gold and com-
inociities during that period "
"To stabilize the basic raw materials from our agricultural pro-
duction is not price-fixing in any sense ot the word," insists Mr.
Wilken. "It is in reality regulating the value ol the dollar as pro-
vided in the Constitution." ^ ~
He doesn't say where in tbe Constitution it says that.
