GOVERNMENT CANT DO IT ALL
During the past few years, the
{Federal government has been working
to develop and (perfect farm organi
zations. This work has produced ex
cellent results ? probably no other
federal farm relief activity Ihias been
bo successful.
Unfortunately, this has led to a
danger that seepns to be an inescap
able part of all government ventures
Of the kind. A certain percentage of
tfarmers have cotne to look upon gov
ernment as their economic savior ? to
believe that ft, and it alone, will iron
out their troubles, solve their pro
blems and bring them prosperity.
Farmers who hold to this belief are
obviously going to do little in their
own bettiialf, , '.!w ^ .
The fallacy of this attitude was
well expressed recently by F. W. Peck, i
cooperative bank commissioner of the
Farm Credit Administration, who
said: "It is fundamental that thtfse
Responsible for the operation of bus
iness cooperatives consider that theii
success depends upon them and their
supporting membership and not upon
the government." In other words,
government is tfote ally of coctperatives
?but it is not and should not be their
administrator. It will do wfhat it earn
to advance their interests ? but it will
pot attempt to take over a cooperative
organization and make it succeed.
That is the province of management
and the farmer membership.
Farmers who look to government as
a financial father deserve to fail.
Farmers who determine to work out
their own destinies deserve to succeed
i ? and they will.
GETTING DOWN TO EARTH
In hia article, "The Future", in the
Saturday Evening Post, General
Johnson states some frightfully plain
truths. The one oustanding point he
made is that the confidence necess
ary to encourage the spending of
savings, the development ofl industry
and the employment of labor, is lack
ing.
"No amount of belat>oring business
and talking about timidity, by men
wft*> never conducted a business in
their lives, is gtoing to change these
essential responsibilities," said Gen
eral Johnson. Many thoughtful and
sincere students of present day pro
blems have pointed out this fact con
(inously, . i
The government cannot disoourago
private enterprise by goifig into bus
iness in cocnpetition with it tax
exempt plants financed by public
funds, and expect (pnrivate industries
to go ahead. It simply cannot be
done.
It cannot Increase expenses of in
dustry by heavier taxes. Nit A re
quirements and extreme regulation
iwhlch drastically limits or destroys
earnings or opportunities, and expect
the Investor to pour (Ms savings into
labonr, but it cannot draw on the bax
i>ayer to meet deficits as can govern
ment operated industries. It has to
iMe a chance to make a profit before
It can risk its savings.
Prfvwte business cannot compete
with government business, and
threats cannot change that situation.

statements Have for the first time

ALL TAXES ARE SALES-tfAXES
No form of txation is ?o bitterly
assailed as the sales tax. The politi
cal "friends of the common people"
have been especially virulent in de
nouncing it, on the grounds that the
burden of the tax falls more heavily
oci persona of email and moderate
means tihsan on the wealthy.
That is all very well. But a very
vital point that the (peoplo do not
retalize is this: There is no other
kind of tax, so far as the effect is
concerned, than the sales tax.
Every tax must be paid, and paid
in fu* by t^e ultimato consumers of ,
goods and products. Every tax lev
ied increases the cost of necessities
and luxuries wo need and buy and
use. When we buy a pair of shoes
wo must pay a score of taxes ? the
tax that was paid by'tihte raiser of the
cattle, by the railroad that transport
ed them, by tho factory that tanned
and cured the leather, by tho manu
facturer, by the distributor, and final
ly, that paid Iby the dealer is in
cluded in the cost of the pair of
shoes we get. That is true of food,
clothing, entertainment and every
thing else.
The "common (people" ? families of
moderate income ? havo tho most to
lose from tax extravagance, and the
most to gain from tax economy.
There aren't enough rich in this
country to carry the cost of govern
ment for a week- ? all but a small part
of government income stems indirect
ly from workers and salaried people
and from those who have a little
coming in from investments. TJve
sales tax by name may be unpopular
? but we all pay it. We carmot get
rid of it ? but we can, by mass action,
demand governmental economy, ef
ficiency and retrenchment that will
lower its cost.
THE DEPRESSION TEACHES
LESSONS
Tfie problem of how to make your
earnings of today work for you in old
ago is tremendously personal.
The (problem has been described as
getting old men's dollars out of
young men's incomes.
Even in normal times, poverty
stricken old ago constitutes one of
our gravest social difficulties. Only
a small percentage persons past
seventy -axe^eHiSufficient financially
rest must depend on relatives
or privato or public relief.
There axe grounds for forecasting
t/h"at the present depression will bo
the means of lessening this old age
problem, and if it does that, hard
times will have been woirth their cost.
More and more men and women are
investing money wisely and Bafely,
with an eye to security and steady
earnings rather than (possible profits.
They are investing it in iife insur
ance, anuitks and trust funds. They
are determined that when their earn
ing period (has passed, they will spend
their declining years in comfort pro
vided by their own thrift and fore
sight when young.
A MAN WITHOUT HATE
There (has been published the in
teresting autobiography of H. Rider
Haggard, tho English novelist whose
vivid tales havo entertained and
charmed millions of readers through
out tho world. This autobiography
was written several years ago, but
Haggard stipulated that it should
not be publidhted until after his
doath, which occurred in 1920.
The author of "King Solomon's.
Mines", "Sho" and forty-odd other
stories reveals a versatile and kind
ly personality and recounts his nd
venfcures in various parts of tho
world. Perhaps his most striking
passage Is that in which 1h<e swys: "I
have known many emotions, nil of
them, I think, oxcept hate."
What a fine thing It was to bo
?blo to say that! How many of us

Message
From the HgySter Family
}
THE YEAR 1933 marks the Golden Anniversary of the F. S. Royster
Guano Company ? fifty years of making fertilizers ? a half century of
sticking hard and fast to the original Royster creed of making the best
fertilizers it is humanly possible to make.
This half century has been a period of wonderful progress in agriculture
?and during this time Royster has never stopped studying growing plants
and plant food needs, carrying on exhaustive research work, testing every
new source of plant food? -all in an effort to improve Royster Fertilizer
year after year;
?
During these fifty years the Company has confined its efforts to the man
ufacture of fertilizers ? and nothing else. The ownership of the Company
has remained in the hands of the Royster family, and is being handed down
from one generation to the next. And, we take pride in the fact that the
men who own and control the Company today are the men who actually
run the business;
On this, the occasion of our Fiftieth Anniversary, we take pleasure in
paying tribute to the thousands of loyal Royster customers who have
helped to make our success possible ? and to whom we renew our pledge
of continued service;
