Mr, Lauck says. 30 cenU out of every dollar of net Corporate proAt goes to the Ux eoUector. On the average. tues have Iticraaaed 065 per cent— and railroad taxes 1243 Btf cent—m the past four decades, though our national nalth has liureaied only 454 per cent in that time and our ¦oDUlatlon less than 100 per cent. These uxes. of course, are passed directly on to the con- MBier. whether he buys groceries or raih-oad service. Every eltisen must bear hia share of the burden. It is no wonder tlMt tax reduction ia becoming one of the burning govern- aantal issues of the day. The Way Out of the Agricul- toral Muddle In a recent interview In the Country Home, Alexander ijgege, retired head of the Federal Farm Board, warned farmers that the Board is no fairy god-mother, and that farmera must help themselves. He said that the way out of the farm depression is through cooperation and organization. There is more to agricultural hard times than the sur¬ plus. Last year. Mr, Legge says, the walnut-growers—who trough cooperation control ninety per cent of their crop- told it at the best price in history. The same thing can be done with wheat, with dairy products and with any other itaple commodity produced ou the farm. The virtues of collective bargaining, niass distribution, cannot be over-emphasized. The single farmer, with his twenty or flfty or hundred acres, u virtually at the mercy of tbe buyer when he does business alone. But when fifty thousand farmers band together to do business they talk to tbe bu>'er and dUtributor In his own langiuge. It should be understood that cooperative selling does not mean higher prices to the consumer. It means that the tanner receives a fair share of the ultimate price, whatever It may be/ Agricultura is the foundation of all Uidustrles, can it obtain the prosperity it deserves and must have. There Are Just Three Kinds of Ptople in the World Not long ago a prominent educator was reported as say¬ ing that there are just three kinds of people in the world: tbe few who make things happen: the slightly larger group who observe them happening: and the great majority, who never even know they are happening. This grouping Is very apparent in community work. Ivery city has a small number of men who make things happen. They erect buildings, or cause them to be erected: they esUbllsh industries, or cause them to be esUbUshed: they plan and execute. About such men Is a larger group, who watch them work, who find out what Is going on, and who may even profit materially by their observation. Sur¬ rounding tliem all Is the great mass of people who go about their own affairs oblivious to what is transpiring—oblivious st least to the CAUSES of what is happening. They see a fine new building being erected. They comment on Its size and shape, but seldom do they realize that one man. or may¬ be two or three men. have niade that building happen. In Chamber of Commerce work, again, a few meii mal:e things happen. These few are the "clique" of whom strangers hear—the "clique that runs tlie Chamber of Com¬ merce." Members see a new factory, or sit in a new park, or ride over a new road, or attend a celebration, that the Cham¬ ber has sponsored. Most of tliem accept such things as spe¬ cies of civic phenomena—things which, like Topsy, have Just "growed' in the community. They seldom realize that some¬ body made them happen. No matter what his particular field of endeavor, it would be profitable if every man woud take stock occasionally and determine in which of these three groups he belongs. The Nazareth VOL.

These uxes. of course, are passed directly on to the con- MBier. whether he buys groceries or raih-oad service. Every eltisen must bear hia share of the burden. It is no wonder tlMt tax reduction ia becoming one of the burning govern- aantal issues of the day. The Way Out of the Agricul- toral Muddle In a recent interview In the Country Home, Alexander ijgege, retired head of the Federal Farm Board, warned farmers that the Board is no fairy god-mother, and that farmera must help themselves. He said that the way out of the farm depression is through cooperation and organization. There is more to agricultural hard times than the sur¬ plus. Last year. Mr, Legge says, the walnut-growers—who trough cooperation control ninety per cent of their crop- told it at the best price in history. The same thing can be done with wheat, with dairy products and with any other itaple commodity produced ou the farm. The virtues of collective bargaining, niass distribution, cannot be over-emphasized. The single farmer, with his twenty or flfty or hundred acres, u virtually at the mercy of tbe buyer when he does business alone. But when fifty thousand farmers band together to do business they talk to tbe bu>'er and dUtributor In his own langiuge. It should be understood that cooperative selling does not mean higher prices to the consumer. It means that the tanner receives a fair share of the ultimate price, whatever It may be/ Agricultura is the foundation of all Uidustrles, can it obtain the prosperity it deserves and must have. There Are Just Three Kinds of Ptople in the World Not long ago a prominent educator was reported as say¬ ing that there are just three kinds of people in the world: tbe few who make things happen: the slightly larger group who observe them happening: and the great majority, who never even know they are happening. This grouping Is very apparent in community work. Ivery city has a small number of men who make things happen. They erect buildings, or cause them to be erected: they esUbllsh industries, or cause them to be esUbUshed: they plan and execute. About such men Is a larger group, who watch them work, who find out what Is going on, and who may even profit materially by their observation. Sur¬ rounding tliem all Is the great mass of people who go about their own affairs oblivious to what is transpiring—oblivious st least to the CAUSES of what is happening. They see a fine new building being erected. They comment on Its size and shape, but seldom do they realize that one man. or may¬ be two or three men. have niade that building happen. In Chamber of Commerce work, again, a few meii mal:e things happen. These few are the "clique" of whom strangers hear—the "clique that runs tlie Chamber of Com¬ merce." Members see a new factory, or sit in a new park, or ride over a new road, or attend a celebration, that the Cham¬ ber has sponsored. Most of tliem accept such things as spe¬ cies of civic phenomena—things which, like Topsy, have Just "growed' in the community. They seldom realize that some¬ body made them happen. No matter what his particular field of endeavor, it would be profitable if every man woud take stock occasionally and determine in which of these three groups he belongs. The Nazareth VOL.
