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 ?
The answer: From the same source of

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

Babson Park, Mass., June 21—In my column
which appeared during the week of May 17th, I
referred to the new corporations which are being
formed by the Bangor & Aroostook and the Kan
sas City Southern raUroads. (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.
