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-
