The subscription lists of three other newspapers, the Mount Joy Star
and News, the Landisville Vigil and the Florin News were merged with
the Bulletin, which makes this paper's circulation practically double that
of the average weekly.
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

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,

wad drugs, rose in price 5 to 15 per cent above the lev-

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

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.
