THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday* June 21* 1962 Boating — Be Careful Some 40 million people will take to the water this year in pleasure boats. Certain bask precautions are suggested that all boaters should know and observe. Among them are these: Don’t overload the craft Don’t stand up or change seats while the boat is underway. Invest In America A million new jobs a year call for at least tit,000 new capital investment per job— seventeen billion dollars per year. And at least another twenty billion dollars a year is needed to maintain the plants and machin ery providing the 67 million jobs we now enjoy^ Where is the money coming from ?

Your Job Exists ' Because of Profits It may be ‘smart politics’ to attack pro fits. But it is bad economics. The reason Americans are the most pros perous people in the world is that private citizens have been free to earn profits—with no government interference other than the administration of basic justice under con stitutional law. Your job exists because of profits. America’s ability to survive foreign com petition depends on our having a modem efficient industrial plant. (Some of indus try’s machines are almost museum pieces.) Military defense is built on modem technol ogy and equipment. Whether we have an up-to-date productive money—your savings—is put to work by business and industry to develop jobs, pro- d notion of goods and services* investment means—putting money to work.

(I think this Release was no 2050, which means that I have written this number of columns for a simlar number of weeks over the years. EVERY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SHOULD WAKE UP. These business corporations which are grad- capacity or not depend, on whether b«,ine,s uiady *£££» and industry can earn adequate profits. - Leave it all to government? Without taxes on profits, without taxes on citizens employ ed by profit-making businesses, the govern ment would have no money to provide any thing. We don’t know why attacking profits should be so popular with politicians; not American politicians. Is it populaf with you? Your answer is important. It could be that when they at tack profits, they’re attacking you—where you live. —James McCloskey Oppose It — Strenuously “I suggest,” writes Senator Barry Gold- water in Human Events, “that we oppose as strenuously as we possibly can, the exten sion of executive power. And I suggest we do this In the public interest’ and for the protection of the ‘general welfare’. The Senator noted that the phrase “pub lic interest” can be adapted to any situa tion by “a glib executive”, noting as a startling example the recent hassle with the steel industry which “generates only about two percent of the gross national product”. “There is no law on the books which says the President shall have the power to fix prices,” reminds Senator Goldwater. “There was no request from industry spokesmen that the Government help them, out of its bureaucratic wisdom, to decide what they should charge for their product. There was no existing supply emergency that warrant ed extreme executive action. ‘There were none of these things. There was only an executive will, backed by the police powers of the Federal bureaucracy, to bring about a stated condition in the economic system. And this will was used to force—to compel—to intimidate in a fashion usually associated with totalitarian states. “You can’t staff a new administration with liberal professors, labor union officials and theorists from Americans for Demo cratic Action and expect it to adopt a strong line for business freedom. Funda mentally, the advisors to whom the Presi dent listens have long been on the side of more and more government interference with and control of the free enterprise sys tem. As Scripps-Howard writer Henry J. Taylor wrote recently, the White House brain-trusters “bring less confidence to business than Jesse James brought to a bank’. And I don’t care what kind or how- many verbal reassurances you businessmen get from government officials. So long as the President listens to the left-wing radi cals in his administration, the business com munity is in trouble.” ‘business corporation," however, gives the railroad an opportunity to use its right-of-way, its sta tions, and its opportunities for business in more profitable ways. Every Chamber of Commerce should now take this matter up with the railroad passing through its city. Said railroad enlarging its facilities means a profit, which should mean an advantage to your city as well as to the stockholders of the railroad. The railroad passenger business is dead and every community should recognize this as soon as possible. Otherwise, the railroad stockholder per haps should consider alternatives in other trans portation fields. SUGGESTIONS TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Every Chamber of Commerce at its next Di rectors’ meeting should appoint a Railroad Com mittee. This Railroad Committee should meet and carefully go over the property of the one or more railroads passing through its city. It further should ask the city tax assessors for a rough map of the property which these one or more railroads own in said city. In fad, it might be well to have the Chairman of the Tax Assessment Committee present at the next meeting of the Railroad Com mittee. I fear that the railroad would hesitate to give a Chamber of Commerce a list of all its land holdings, even in said city; brace such a list must come from the tax assessors. One of the first things for this Railroad Com mittee to consider is the amount of idle track which now exists. Certainly the railroads will want no more tracks, and probably much of Its present track could be abandoned, enabling abun dant land to be utilized for other purposes. If the railroad company refuses to sell or use such land, then the assessors should fed free to raise the tax assessments thereon. The Railroad Committee can explain to the railroad company authorities that it wishes to provide some additional earn ings for the railroad rather than handicap them by higher taxes. FORMATION OF “BUSINESS CORPORATION” BY A RAILROAD As suggested above, there are many things which a railroad company can do without any additional legislation. The Boston A Albany Rail road, which runs through Wellsley, Mass., had two beautiful, stone stations built during prosper ous times. One of these it has rented to a clothes cleaning establishment, with a small waiting room for passengers. The other railroad station, one mile beyond, is being demolished by the rail road company which will sell the land for var ious purposes. In almost every community there is a short age of good parking spaces at the present time. There are sections of vacant Land which the rail road company has which could be rented for parking lots. These would be both a contribution to the community, and also give a constantly in creasing revenue to the railroad companies from whom it would collect money through the leases of the property. Importance of every railroad company get ting permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to go into outside business. Such“ outside businesses’’ vary from the operation of buses to Hie lei ting of supermarkets and small factories. This is a real opportunity for railroads to discover what can be done. In the case of the Bangor A Aroostook, it has had its business corporation purchase a personal loan company to make small loans along its line; it is now negotiating for a machinery company to in stall automation in various plants of New Eng land. 40 to his credit.
