WASHINGTON n—The House
Ways and Means Committee Thurs-
day voted down a proposal by
Democrats to reduce individual in-
come taxes by 2% billion dollars
annually through increasing per-
sonal exemptions by $100.

The railroads of the United States have issued a
factual statement on the industry’s experience last year.
And the most striking phase of it, from the public’s
standpoint, is the tangible physical progress made in
bettering railroad service.
A new record was set in operating efficiency—which
means that the amount of transportation service per-
formed eaeh hour by the average freight train hit a
new high. The main reason for that is found in the rails*
huge post-war improvement program.
Last year the industry spent more than $1,200,000,-
000 on new equipment and facilities, making 1953 the
sixth consecutive year in which its capital investment
topped the billion-dollar mark. A highlight was the in-
stallation of more than 2,000 new locomotive units and
80,000 freight cars during the year.
As for the future, the railroads are pledged to
continue their improvement program at the highest level
which traffic, revenues and earnings will justify. Ex-
penditures of about $800,000,000 for 1954 improvements
are already programmed, and it is possible that, again,
a billion or more will be spent. Naturally, the level of
traffic will be a dominant factor in this.
In any event, no one need worry about the progres-
sive spirit of the railroads. It never burned brighter.
a
Those people who still think that business keeps,
as profit, a large part of the money it takes in from its
customers should be interested in a report by the Amer-
ican Economic Foundation showing what happens to
the dollars we spend at retail.-'
Suppose you go into a store and buy $10.00 worth
of goods. On the average, here’s where the money goes:
•Cost of the merchandise, with transportation, rent
and other overhead expenses comes to $8.02. Wages and
salaries account for $1.31. Taxes total 38 cents, and de-
preciation of physical equipment such as buildings and
fixtures requires 7 cents. This leaves a mere 22 cents
out of that $10.00 of yours—and that is the storekeep-
er's profit Not all of this remains in the pockets of the
owners. In typical large stores, for example, in a recent
period, only 14 cents of it was paid out in dividends, the
remaining 8 cents being reinvested in the business, to
enable it to meet the competition and keep up with the
march of progress. -
One sure deduction can be made from these fig-
ures. If store owners earned no profit at all, you, the
consumer, would hardly notice the difference in the
prices you pay for goods.

Good news for husbands: Clothes for the wife and
daughters will be less costly this spring and summer
than they were a year ago.
Moreover, the experts think the females in your
family will buy fewer new duds in 1954, despite some
snappy changes in styles, which include:
Hemlines rising an inch and necklines declining an
inch; installing of such new colors as Wild Shrimp,
Coolie Blue, El Dorado Gold and Popsicle Green.
Word on the outlook for women’s clothes comes
from the more than 200 manufacturers and 5,000 buy-
ers who gathered in Los Angeles recently. What hap-
pens at this early showing usually gives a tip-off on
. - what to expect at similarshows in other style centers,
including the biggest one in New York City.
Prices on most of the clothes shown in Los Angeles
were 5 per cent to 20 per cent lower than a year ago.
So you husbands, although you’re not going to get
out from under entirely, will have a little relief when
the clothes “bug" bites around Easter time.

According to the Bureau of Agricultural Eco-
nomics, the living standards of farm-operator families
in this country’ showed an average improvement of 53
per cent in the 10 years between 1940 and 1950. The
Bureau then made this very significant observation:
. the rise in level of living among farm people was
generally most rapid in those parts of the United States
in which mechanization was most rapid.”
Here is a well-deserved tribute to the almost ines-
timable value of modern farm equipment. Actually, in
present-day fanning, the machine isn’t just something
desirable—it’s something that the farmer who wants to
make the most of his resources simply can’t afford to
do without
Mechanization has been going ahead at a much
swifter rate than most of us realize. In 1940 there were
a trifle more than 1,500,000 tractors on our farms, and
a decade later the figure was 3,600,000. There has been
a farther substantial growth since then. And the use of
other equipment has undoubtedly shown gains of com-
parable dimensions.
• Farm equipment is the answer to two big farm
. problems—how to get maximum production at minimum
: cost, and how to conserve and improve the land for fu-
• ture generations.
