Tensions 'Wr like to think thiit we are living in a hijrhly civiliml and very advanced world.” saya William larkvchairman of the hoard of American Stores. “We point with pri«k* to all th> thinga we have that make for ‘better liv ing’ that our forefathers never enjoyed. Yet m almost any’-newspaper you can read of broken homes, murders and a< whole host of * rimes that make your blood run cold. . . . "I think this is a rather sad ctfmmentary on our way of living in this so-called ’en lightened age’. We cannot help but wonder if human nature has changed at all through the centuries. I doubt if it has. "If you read the Old Testament of the Bible, you will see recorded many murders ami other sins of all sorts. The world was in a constant state of war. People even then were rest less and full of tensions.” \ V' I What Farmers Want Farm Journal, the leading magazine in its field, has polled its readers to find out just what kind of a government farm plan they really want. The results will come as a big surprise Jto those who think fanners as a whole want more and more government aids, controls and supports. Here’s how the vote adds up: 55/< want total abandonment of supports and controls, and a return to the free market ; 15'/< favor supports on an emergency basis only; 8'< want adjusted supports which would permit a gradual return to normal markets over a pe riod of time. In sum. therefore. 78/< favor plans calling either for no support or for less support. By contrast, only 14 V* say they want high price supports, of 90/i to 100% of parity, and only 8% favor the production payment plan. The percentages were pretty much the -ame in all sections of the country- Among the different commodities, fanners specializ- ng m poultry, beef, or fruit and vegetables are the most inclined to get rid of supports. Wheat and grain producers are least dis- iuse«l to do this—-but. e%en so, close to half of them tonnider u the thing to do.

Time was when these were sparsely attend- ed, by a orniparative handful of investors with big holdings. But that time has gone. Sylvia Porter, the well-known financial col umnist, tells the story as it is today. Stock- holds come to the meetings in almost army sized legions—one big company received no tices that 25.000 planned to attend. This zooming attendance is the result of several forces. Miss Porter writes: “One, of course, is the spread in stock ownership to an un precedented total of many millions of middle- class citizens. Another is the fact that in re cent years leading stink exchanges have beenj promoting the idea that a stockholder is an owner of tJie corporation and he should takej- an active interest in his company’s activi ties. A third is that corporations themselves have been going in for lavish meetings on Trullick Completes the basis that attracting a large attendance Theological Course Theological Seminary in Decatur, his Undent day* He hai Ga He has been supply pastor of been assistant pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Gainesville.

And printmg-preas money, issued m large enough amounts, be comes worthless money. What is the solution? Fim and foremost is a balanced budget, which would do more than anything else to save what is left of the dollar’s purchasing power. And this is as urgent a need as the country faces. Unfortunately our law-makers, both state and national, seem to have developed such a tolerance for the inflation drug, that their appetites demand more rather than less of the poison—the remedy lies with the voters.
