against home merchants in favor

concern sold merchandise at a
loss in 29% of its stores over a
period of years. As the competi-

destroyed, prices went up, and
a chain unit in another place
commenced to sell at a loss. In
all, there was an 'average of 29%
of the stores selling at a loss at
all times. This does not hurt the
large concern, since it is able to
get a tax deduction for the losses.
The law should be amended, as
I have proposed, to prevent tax
deductions in cases of that kind,
since the policy merely permits
the big ones to destroy the little
ones and be indirectly subsidized
by Uncle Sam for doing so.

Tell them to us!
We know that most people

about a store they simply take

We don’t want that ever to

people have accepted it as a
foregone conclusion, and have,
therefore, been holding back on
buying homes, durable goods of
off kinds, and other things, the
purchase of which could be post-
poned. Our national income is
only slightly smaller than last
year, the national average being
about one billion dollars less on
personal income, all of which is
on account of the farmers' prices.
As to how far this present re-
cession will go, no one can tell;
but if depression talk continues,
we are likely to talk ourselves
into a situation that will be very
embarrassing to the people of our
nation. The corporations last year
retained $21,090,000,000 in prof-
its, after the payment of taxes.

Afterwards, over a friendly
I glass of beer, Easy says, “You
know, wall-mending is a nice neigh-
borly custom, but we really don’t
need that wall. We keep it up just
because it happens to be there.”
“Yes,” says Handy, “a lot of

From where I sit, Handy said a
mouthful. Take the “walls of in-
tolerance” that people build up
against each other. I like a tem-
perate glass of beer now and then,
you may prefer buttermilk—but
that’s no reason for me to criticize
you, or you, me. Let’s live and let-
live together—making more friends
and fewer “walls.”

to be the best government on
earth, although a large part of
the people are disappointed every
election. The public mind is a
fertile, intelligent, fair mind. The
people make mistakes, just like
an individual, but putting all the
different views together, the
people usually do the right thing.
If a mistake is made, they cor-
rect it.
Recession Talk
We have talked ourselves into
a recession, and if we are not
careful, we can talk ourselves
into a real depression. There is
no reason for the enormous slump
that has talzen place the last few
months except public sentiment
which is another case of the will
of the people controlling. Last
year, the heads of the large cor-
porations retained several times
as much in earnings, after taxes
and payments of dividends, than
seven, miles north of Mt. Pleas-
ant, states that he believes he will
make 59 bushels of corn per acre
on land that formerly produced
eight bushels per acre. The dif-
ference is in two crops of W inter
peas that have been grown and
turned under. Allen says he wants
every acre of his cropland plant-
ed to peas this fall.
