This is the age of the specialist and the expert, whose education has prepared him to do one thing well. ■ ■ , The actual cash value of education was computed some years ago in a thorough-going survey. It was found that the average untrained boy goes to work at the age of 14. He reaches his maximum income of about $1,700 at the age of 40. By the time he is sixty he has earned $64,000. The average high school graduate reaches'a maximum in­ come of $2,800 at 50. His total earnings, at sixty, are $88,000. The average college graduate is earning $6,000 to $8,000 a year at 60. His total earnings are $160,000 to $200,000— three times that of the untrained worker. SPRING—WHICH WAY IS THE SAP RUNNING? f Several days ago a vote was taken on the payment of a bonus to veterans of the World War. A bill has passed the House in Congress to provide ‘‘printing press” money for. the payment of the bonus. There is no question but Congress is taking the first step to line up the veteran vote as election time is not far distant. Both Republicans and Democrats are toying with the situation which will be at the expense of the veterans for it is doubtful if the Senate will pass the bill and if so, Presi­ dent Roosevelt promises to veto it. It is not likely the Senate will pass it over his veto yet the House vote indicated such was possible there. The humorous side of the situation is that it was only a few days ago that Cong. Marshall, Seventh District, voted against the printing press idea of paying the bonus. On the' roll call Monday, we find he cast his vote for it. The bonus and printing press money are two seperate and distinct issues. The former is promoted as a campaign issue, the latter attacks a fundamental principal which if enacted would return us to the days of confederate money. Printing press money for the. veterans would only call for the game kind of exchange to be used as a dole and we would be as bad off as was Germany and France following the war. Cong. Marshall should by public statement explain his vote. The veterans have a rigjit to know how much sincerity was behind the vote, Monday. Those who believe in sound money, Republicans and Democrats, have greater reason to demand an explanation as to the whys and wherefores of the Congressman’s vote. Many Republicans have not approved the government going off the gold standard? How can these same Republicans approve the Congressman’s vote for print­ ing press money? LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES HOLDING THEIR OWN While many different kinds of business, and all professions have suffered as a result.of the depression, the one outstanding feature has been the strength displayed by the life insurance companies as a whole. There have been a few smaller com­ panies face difficulties and one or two badly managed from the standpoint of the policy holder, yet it has been remarkable that life insurance companies could weather the storm* These companies own hundreds of thousands of acres of farm land they have had to take back due to foreclosures, but we are told this land is managed to the extent that a two and three per cent net return has been possible. With government securities that bear less than three per cent selling by the mil­ lion on each call of the treasury, the life insurance companies yet have a good investment and will profit on the sale of the land as conditions improve. In contrast with the present status of life insurance com­ panies let us. take the policy holder that could not face the situation a. year or so ago and cancelled his policy dr allowed it to expire. He no doubt failed to analyze the true picture, fear and uncertainty had more of an influence on him than anything else so he withdrew what was (joming to him. Today, certainly there is no one'thiat can have much well founded con­ cern over the future o f life insurance in this country. The fellow that dropped his policy two years ago is now without any protection to himself or his family. He is two years older and under the rules the rate is higher than when the policy was first written. Probably for some few years it will not be as easy to meet payments, yet he should have protection. The load is to be heavier all because payments were stopped at a time they should have been continued. Beginning March 19, the nation will celebrate Financial Independence Week. It is a week set aside for discussion in education circles how to solve one of the most perplexing and tragic of-human problems, dependent old age. Life insurance can be the cornerstone of man’s financial structure. In the past being a policy holder in a life insurance company was looked upon by many as just a means of saving a few dollars to spend later, and yet have the benefit of protection, As far as it went this was fine, but what was the policy holder to face 1 in old age if his savings Were spent in the younger years? The nation has long been negligent in laying more stress on financial independence with the average citizen. As a re­ sult we have passed through a period on a spending spree and now find ourselves broke. To care for many that in years back have had the opportunity of providing for themselves, many not having an opportunity, We now must provide for old age pensions, or a dole in one or more forms. It will not be many years before the country will face a campaign to save a little out of each pay envelope or from our income in what ever form we receive it. We remember such a cam­ paign more than thirty years ago; another during the World War and we must take the same steps again if we ever get our­ selves out of the present dilemma. Two things are impossible. You can neither spend yourself into prosperity nor can your state or national government legislate you into ‘ ‘the happy days are here again.” There must be individual thrift and there must be savings for the future and life insurance is the answer to the problem. filed in court in Dayton for approval, A delegation of Dayton building and loan depositors under the leadership of C. R. Titiow, called upon Gov. White, Tuesday, pleading that the Executive have his department with­ draw and turn the institution back to the stockholders. It is being charged that assets of several building and loan institutions under state liquida­ tion are being wasted in that great loss is being taken when appraisal is made for HOLC loans. It is also claimed that if all the delinquent mortgages held by building and 1 loans in Dayton were rewritten under the HOLC, more than $28,000,000 in mort­ gages would be held by the govern­ ment. • The Iowa state legislature adjourn­ ed this week after a three time effort to adopt the NRA for that state. The idea was to legalize and provide state '•nforcement for the federal plan. The legislature refused for various reasons to adopt the ide^i. The NRA had a narrow escape .last week down in Washington -When Gen, Johnson, invited criticism. The critics made the trip as invited but after facing the General found a different program. The.General admitted cer­ tain things were subject to criticism but left little room for a discussion. The high point was the tongue lash­ ing he gave the wife of Pennsylvania’s governor. President Roosevelt appointed the noted Chicago’ criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow chairman of the Na­ tional Review Board. He was to stand for small business and see that no harm befell it. Darrow. entered upon his duties as he would a criminal case, being recognized as one of the greatest legal fighters in. the country. His first hitch was when he had to face General Johnson and then the fight was on, for the General in his blunt way began to give Darrow -■rders as to what he could and could not do, and that he was serving under the NRA. Darrow accepted the chal­ lenge and informed Johnson that lie had never served under a General in his life and that he was not going to begin at his age. Darrow had his in­ ning with President" Roosevelt and at the end of the conference he was given the verdict—a blow to Johnson, The President instructed Darrow to act independently in hearing the com­ plaints of more than 2,000 small busi­ ness men who claim they are being ruined by monopolies under the NRA. pla rove y t e o se t is eeli In the end this money would be as worthless as the old- Confederate To those who keep in touch with events, and even Cong. Marshall’s friends, know the approaching ‘congressional primary was more the motive for sup­ porting the bonus to get the veteran - vote. President Roosevelt in advance promised to veto such a bill and for that reason many congressmen could vote for the measurexto please the veterans, and at the same time know lliey were only to be fooled in getting even printing press money. It was a neat way to keep the veterans feeling good. The publicity given the trials of gangsters in Lima where one has been found guilty of murdering a sheriff is enough to invite a wholesale attempt of -jail delivery, One of the greatest evils in connection with law enforce­ ment today, and the' one thing the gangster Jikcs to applaud, is the pub­ licity hounds in connection with law enforcement. It was publicity that checked every^ effort to find the kid­ nappers of the Lindbergh baby months ago. Jealously among differ­ ent sets of officials has been of great aid to law breakers of this class. Sentimentalism is another thing that has been of aid to gangsters. We passed through a period when almost every organization was asked in some way to back a movement to.make life more worthwhile for law violators, •We. do not favor cruel treatment to prisoners unless such methods are necessary to control offenders and thus make the lives of officers safer. Our prisons have been made like play houses and the gangster world has no fear of spending a vacation in prison. More balls and chains and less sentimentalism. Iowa steps .into line and the legis- ’ ..lure passes, a law providing for old ige pensions much after the law a- dopted in Ohio. Iowa has a new plan of. financing old age pensions and re­ turns to the age old poll tax. Each citizen, male and female, 21 years and older must1 pay a pall or head tax of one dollar each, Years ago part of our taxes in Ohio were paid as a poll tax bjit as years came oh it was looked upon as unfair, due to the fact that politics enabled many to escape payment. • The legislature, continues .to grind away with many new proposals to find a solution to Gov. White’s tax pro­ gram. Sales, excise and income taxes feature the discussions. Days have been spent in trying to find a way to collect more than $200,000,000 delin­ quent taxes in the state. Effort has been made to provide refund for bonds row due so that cities can spend in­ terest and sinking funds for present operation. This is the most vicious piece of legislation that has been at­ tempted and the idea comes from Cleveland. The Whole state faces new taxes because a few large urban counties have not been collecting de­ linquent taxes, While the state discusses delinquent tax collection another branch of the government is putting pressure on (building and loan associations to force the payment of delinquent. taxes on property under mortgage to such in­ stitutions, Most people may not know it but delinquent taxes is one of the grounds that can be sot forth to bring foreclosure either by financial in­ stitutions, or individuals. AH build- One cannot help admit the World War veterans have a just cause in demanding payment of the bonus, especially when we see the govern­ ment handing out money by the mil­ lions for many .unworthy purposes, not saying anything about the little re­ turn received from funds spent by the CWA, It can not be charged that all expenditures of the OWA were foolish, but where the public-can see so much wa$te, the / good is over­ shadowed. Much of the government public building work is unnecessary and will prove a heavy cost to the government in years to come for up­ keep. For this reason the veterans hau* a right to insist on payment of. tlic bonus, but we cannot favor pay­ ment by the printing press method. We believe it would only add to our present economic trouble and prove as much of a burden later, to veterans as all other citizens. Expect Code T o C u t Babiy Chick Surplus No Price Advantages Need Be Expected By Late Purchases Farmers and others who expect to buy baby chicks this season should file their orders early to he sure of re­ ceiving the number and breed of chicks wanted, according to repre­ sentatives of the coordinating commit­ tee of the Hatchery Code which be­ came effective in January. The usual production of surplus supplies of chicks is not expected this year, because provisions in the hatch­ ery code make it inadvisable for liatcherymen to have large surpluses. ' In recent yenrs, competition in the hatchery business is said to' have been so keen that many hatcheries have made it a practice to set more eggs than'were necessary to produce the number of chicks for which they had orders. The result has been heavy overproduction, with very low- prices, especially late in the season. Chicks' can no longer be, placed on the market by those who come under the hatchery code below the individual seller’s cost of production;. This pro­ vision is expected to prevent the pro­ duction of heavy surpluses, because the chicks cannot he “dumped" on the market at bargain .prices'. Fanners who. have been in the habit of waiting for these late season bargains are ad­ vised to consider the possibility that such cheap supplies may not be avail­ able this year. - Improvement.in the quality of baby chicks is expected to follow the* code ban on below-cost sales. Buyers would benefit from such improvement in breeding stock,' it is pointed out. In the past, “ bargain price" surplus jJ stock has frequently been of low " grade.
