EDITORIAL Now that the Democrats contend Poor Boards were abol- ished by the legislature at the 1937 session and the ans think otherwise, the State Supreme Court at Philadelphia has been appealed to for a decision, By the time this sees print, the special Congressional ses- sion will be underway. Chances are that the session will run into January, when the regular session begins. There will be bitterly opposed views involving both of the special session’s objectives—farm aid and and hours legislation. The Administration wants a farm plan that will embrace crop control in some form. wages Wages and hours will cause even more talk. Administra- tion plan would set up a board with powers to fix wages and the other powers would be so great that some think it hours for all industry, within certain limits. However, board’s would be a virtual czar over industry, and a great many con- gressmen oppose the plan for that reason. THIS SCREWY AGE The government’s left hand knows not what its right hand doeth. That seems to be the only possible deduction to be made from a series of recent events. The Department of Agriculture has issued a sweeping com- plaint against a number of large meat packing firms, on the grounds that they have violated the anti-trust laws by con- spiring to manipulate and control prices. And at the last session of Congress a law was passed—the Miller-Tydings Act—which makes a farce of all anti-trust legislation so far as it applies to trade-mark products in in- terstate commerce. The Act provides that the manufacturers of these products may establish the minimum retail prices at Approximately 10 states have simi- “fixed” which they may be sold. lar laws in effect. If a retailerrefuses to hold to the orice, the manufacturer may blacklist him and refuse to de- iver him more goods. Price-fixing with government blessing is very new in our ational life, but the effects of it are already seen. In han a vear, representative products, including cosmetics, less wad drugs, rose in price 5 to 15 per cent above the lev- The future iquors Is obtaining before price-fixing was legalized. nd will inevitably be upward. So we legalize anti-trust law violations for some concerns, and at the same time we prosecute others for alleged viola- tions of the anti-trust laws! This curious situation will doubt- less provide an interesting chapter for the scholars who will some day write the history of this screwy age. STOP ANOTHER DEPRESSION There is a grave danger, pointed out by many responsible economists, that the country may sink into another depres- sion—unless corrective steps are quickly taken. The same experts are generally agreed that two of the outstanding causes of the recent drop in business production and the collapse in security values are the Capital Gains Tax and the Undistrib- uted Profits Tax. The Capital Gains Tax, by heavily penalizing persons who sell securities at a profit, dams up the normal flow of private capital into productive industry. A man who makes such an investment must take all the risks of loss- profit instead, the tax deprives him of a large part of it. Un- “hid- but if he makes a der this condition, who can blame capital for staying in ing”? The Undistributed Profits Tax prevents corporations from using funds to build up necessary reserves against bad times, for expanding inventories, for rehabilitating plant and equip- ment, etc. To quote a National Industrial Conference Board Survey, “The tax penalizes thrift and introduces tendencies contrary to conservative financial practice. ...... the tax in- volves the application of new and unsubstantiated theory of taxation. It is uneconomic because of its effects on corporate policies and practices and not because of the burdens im- posed. The tax is deficient as a regulatory device. .....The law assumes a degree of uninformity among corporations fin! THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO.

In appearance it is one of the most of woods, with peculiar red and orange shot through with bands of jet black. It is extremely hard and heavy, and being more oily than most of the rosewood group, to which it is re- lated, is so difficult to glue that it is not used to any extent for fur- niture except novelty pieces. Muskmelon and Cantaloupe Many persons are puzzled by the names muskmelon and cantaloupe. Horticulture states that the term muskmelon is the proper one to ap- ply. The cantaloupe is really a small melon used for forcing in European greenhouses, This name, however, has come to be used in the trade for certain kinds of melons. It is purely a trade name and is given to what is actually a muskmelon. A GIFT SUGGESTION When you can’t think what to buy “THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN for a year—$1.50.

We have improved on that car in the newly styled Standard Ford V-8. But some folks wanted still more size and style, with the same Ford advantages.
