WILL YOUR BUSINESS BE NEX?T?
A little item appeared in the Haw-
ley, Minnesota, Herald which, has a pro-
found bearing on the kind of country our
soldiers will find they return home.
The story records the taking over of
a number of Minnesota trucking compa-
nies by the government, and the fact that
under government control those concerns
refuse to pay truck license fees and gaso-

The housing shortage in Denison is as
acute, if not more so, than when the U. S.
government started work five yetavs ago
on the $54,000,000 Denison dam. Resi-
dences are out of the question almost to
rent, and there is not a business building
in the city in first class shape which is not
rented. - ■ >

Let's get this profit and wage busi-
ness straightened out. Why is the motive
to get more wages something which should
be treated differently from that of the
profit motive on the part of the man who
furnishes the employment? If an investor,
in risking his savings tries to. increase his
profits from four to five per cent, how is
this different from a workman who tries
to increase his wages from $40 to $50 a
week? Each has'the same motive and
aim.
Charlie Harris, veteran news-
paperman of Fort Worth, who
wears a cap and writes aavicles
on a 25-year old portable type-
writer, used to woitk on a news-
paper in St. 'Louis and then© he
picked up Several stories about
the immortal Eugene Field,
author of "Little Boy Blue."
Field, likte some newspaper
reporters before and since, was
slow pay. He bought a hat
fr"om Hart, ahe Hatter, and when
repeated bills brought no re-
sponse, the croditor at last
wrote a footnote on the state-
ment, "I hope you will pay
this." Field returned the bill
after scrawling this line, "Hope
on, dear - Hart, hope on."
Many a Field fan would be
willing to pay several times the
price of that hat just to get the
note, if it is still in existence.
The incident calls to mind the
American who wrote to .Rudyard
Kipling, "I unders and yon are
the highest-paid writer in the
(world and that you receive $1
a word. Enclosed is $1; please
send me a word.' Kipling com-
plied with the word, "Thanks."
That note, too, would bring a
fancy price today.
On the subject of pay for
literary productions, your col-
umnist in one afternoon pound-
ed ot<t an article on the Ranger
oil boom and sold it to the Sat-
urday Evening Post for $750.
Later computation showed th<
pay was at the rate of $1.66 a
minute, on the basis of the time
it took to write the article,
which—appropriately enough—
was entitled "It Was Fun While
It Lasted."
Mark Twain wiia riding on a
crowded street car one «lay in
Paris and, when the car stopped
suddenly., the American author
stepped on a Frenchman's foot.
The Frenchman felt himself of-
fended and he said, "Sir, con-
sider yourself slapped in the
face and challenged to a duel,"
Twain replied, "Sir, consider
yourself shot three #times through
the heart.''
Did you know that Abraham
Lincoln, when a young man, was
challenged to a duel? As the
challenged party, he had the
right to choose weapons, which
he did- Abe said, "I choase
Irish potatoes at 100 yards."
This caused a laugh and there
was no duel. I

This Doe* Not Guarantee Jobs
(Lamar County Echo)
The electric utility industry
is not contemplating extensive
new construction of generating
facilities. Expenditures for this
purpose will be far lower during
1945 than the average for the
depression decade of \he thir-
ties. According to utility com-
pany officials, a major reason
back o<f the limited program is
existing tax-subsidized govern-
ment competition and the threat
of more such competion as the
government planners who pay
lip service to priva e enterprise
swing into action for yet great-
er government-owned power
systems. Thus another mile-
stone is passed in the struggle
of the utilities against a poli-
cal philosophy that has destroy-
ed ;he freedom of people in na-
tion after _ nation—state social-
ism. Instead of hundreds of
millions being spent by private
industx-y to provide jobs and tax
revenue, we now see hundreds
of millions of the taxpayers'
dollars being spent to destroy
taxpaying private industry. This
ia certainly not the way to
save the nation from bankrupt-
cy, nor, is it the way to guar-
antee postwar jobs.

Denison Over Red Cross
Goal by Several Thousand
When the closing time for the
annual Red Cross roll call came
last week it was found that
Denison had oversubscribed its
quota more than $3,000, accord-
ing to figures from L. J. Wo.
mack and (Ralph Geisenhoner,
local chairman of the drive, and
treasurer, respectively.
The goal was $32,500 and
the sum raised was $25,701.52.
