EDITORIAL According to reports made by the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, the industries in that city employed 1,100 more during 1935 than were employed during the boom year of 1929. If that assertion is true, and we have every reason to be- lieve it is, why were there so many thousand people on relief in 1935 when there were practically none in 1929? A NEW NATIONAL LANDMARK Commenting on the world’s greatest bridge that stretches for eight miles between San Francisco and Oakland, a noted writer says: “The $70,000,000 bridge is one of man’s greatest achieve- ments for public convenience. It is a fitting testimonial that there is no failure in the vision of a people who are carrying on the traditions of enlightened progress which the pioneers of ‘49’ left for them to follow.” SAFETY THE WATCHWORD ; Those of us whose incomes are derived entirely from our own earnings would have little chance of leaving what is even a modest estate were it not for the various forms of sav- ings. The forms are several and good. Particularly useful is life insurance. Safely the insurance companies rose out of the worst de- pression the world has ever known. Never could this bril- liant performance have been possible were it not for the care exercised in the investments made by the great companies. As the president of a large life insurance company recently said, the thought continuously in the mind of insurance of- ficials is the certain fulfillment of the contract with the policy-holder. Safety is the eternal watchword. CURB DOUBLE TAXATION ABUSE The pocketbooks of fire insurance policyholders are al- ways in danger during a legislative year, such as 1937. Practically all states maintain insurance supervisory de- partments whose duty it is to protect the insuring public against loss, fraud or misrepresentation. These departments are financed by taxing the insurance companies. That is fair enough—if all the money obtained by the tax goes to the de- partments and the tax is held to the lowest point that will meet these essential expenditures. However, states have taken to using the special insurance tax as a lucrative source of general income, just as they di- vert gasoline taxes fro mroad purposes. As a result, only a small percentage of the money derived by the tax goes to the insurance departments or is needed by them-——eight or ten times as much goes into state treasuries where it is spent for any and all purposes of state government. That, in effect, taxes the policyholder twice—he must pay all general taxes and in addition contribute again through a higher fire insurance rate than would otherwise be necessary. It is apparent that this tax is an item in the rate—the com- panies have no source of premium income save policy prem- iums, and the cost of doing business must be figured in the rate structure. These “special” taxation abuses are growing on every side. They destroy the nation’s basic theory of “equal” taxation and establish a policy of class and punitive taxation that is constantly extended to different lines of business as the tax gatherers seek new taxation sources to meet the growing po- litical tax demands. THE PRESS SURVIVES If all the utterances of the prophets of doom could be com- piled into a single volume they would provide some delight- fully amusing reading. The extreme pessimist, thank God, is usually wrong. The dreadful things he sees ahead rarely hap- pen. The hopeless outlook he presents is usually tinged by his own jaundiced disposition. We recall particularly right now the forecast uttered sev- eral years ago by a representative of metropolitan journal- ism. A dismal future he predicted for newspapers large and small. The radio, he believed, would soon supplant news print and printers ink as the medium to convey knowledge and information to the general public. That was almost fif- teen years ago. What he did not visualize was the fact that people are not likely to lose their interest in the printed word. They hear speeches and news comments on the radio but this merely whets their interest for the more detailed and more accurate reports which follow in the press. Itis further to be realized that the printed word alone leaves an accurate record of what has been reported. It can be con- - sidered at leasure. It offers no opportunity for a brilliant orator or an excited announcer to convey a distortion in in- terpretation. The press, we hold, has lost none of its appeal and in- fluence with changing times. True it may be unable to tell people how to vote. In the heat of a partisan contest over candidates and issues people are disposed to do their own thinking. But by presenting the facts without fear or favor the press can still exert a profound influence upon the course of public affairs. So long as it adheres to the principles of ethical and honest journalism and keeps abreast of the currents of change in this changing world its place is assured. : We predict that it will go on for years to come and provide its critics with many opportunities to predict its early de- J into the yard of LeRoy Mellinger LONG AGO 34 Years Ago Benj.
