THE LAW OF DIMINISHING
RETURNS
Those who have to run their own
business, and who try to earn a liv
ing therefrom, know all about the
law of diminishing returns. But gov
ernment is only gradually learning
that the principle involved has its
application to taxing measures, too.
It is beginning to become plain that
when “hidden taxes”—the ones con
cealed in the price of products—^be
come too high, peoples buy less and
the total yield may prove to be less
than was the case when the rate was
lower.
The New York Post, commenting
on the cigaret tax in its home state,
brings this point to the attention of
its readers.
“The pyramid of taxes on New
Yorkers’ cigarettes is serving one
useful purpose,” the Post philoso
phizes.' “It is demonstrating, better
than has any other tax in years, all
the varieties of trouble that can be
caused by imposing levies heavier
than the traffic can bear.
“Retail dealers are losing cus
tomers by the droves. Purchasers of
cigarettes are being annoyed and, in
many cases, cutting down on other
expenditures. Yields from the tax
are much below expectations.
“Everybody is losing and the gain
to the city and state treasuries seem
likely to be scant. There may even
be a loss.
“The state tax defeated itself.
Economists call this “the law of
diminishing returns.”
ENCOURAGING NEWS
It’s not often these days that good
news to business and the general
public comes from official sources in
Washington, but a welcome break in
the tradition occurred not long ago.
It took the form of an announcement
from the department of agriculture
to the effect that the “alarming
growth of interstate trade interfer
ence” has at last come to a halt.
Mr. Wallace’s department is even
encouraged at this point to voice the
hope that, the next time the state
legislatures meet, thy will see the
way clear to remove many of the ob
noxious “barriers” and “tariffs.”
Taxes by states which discriminate
against products made in other states
are objectionable to industry be
cause they incite retaliation and the
resulting tax war slows up the free
flow of commerce. It means less
goods sold, and if carried to extremes
could result in industrial stagnation.
That stagnation would, of course,
involve further depression, and that
is where the public comes in. So in
dustry and the general public are
united in hoping for a complete end
to state trade barriers, and both are
ready to hail this latest cheering
word from Washington.
PATRIOTISM ON THE INCREASE
This country has thrived and
grown great on patriotism. People
in foreign lands sometimes say
Americans are too proud of their
country, while at the same time they
envy us our happier lot. It never
strikes them that there may be some
connection between the United States’
high living standards and the pride
in country of the men and women
who do the nation’s work.
In any case, it is encouraging
these days to sense in the air a
stronger manifestation of American
patriotism than has been apparent
for some time. One seems to hear
a frequent echo of the words of Dan
iel Webster: “Thank God, I—I also—
am an American!”
Symptoms of this feeling are
found everywhere: in novels and bio
graphies celebrating the high points
of our history, in the movies, in stage
plays like “Lincoln in Illinois” and
“The American Way.” There is even
a song being published called “That
Good Old American Way.”
This increase of patriotic feeling
is a good and healthy sign. It is not
solely apparent in the movies, in
plays, and in songs. These things
merely reflect what the public is
feeling. And this patriotism, at the
present time, seems to say that
Americans have decided there is
every reason in the world to feel con
fidence in this country and its fu
ture—to go forward and accomplish
things the way their forefathers did.

CALIFORNIA empire
I have been traveling the length
and breadth of California, for the
first time in a good many years,
Nobody can really know the United
States until he has visited the Pa
cific Coast. The country west of
the Great Divide is an empire in it
self. It could be separated com
pletely from the rest of the nation
and be self-sufficient and prosperous.
It is not hard to understand why
Californians feel a love for their
state such as few feel for any land.
tFYom the palm-fringed shores of
the south to the pine-topped moun
tains of the north, California has a
variety of climate, of geography and
of scenic beauty such as no other of
the 48 states has. Its natural re
cources include everything from oil
to oranges, from grain to gold. In
the South, California’s climate in
summer reminds me of that of Palm
Beach or Miami in winter. Bright
sunshine by day, but you’re likely
to need a topcoat at night. In the
country around San Francisco Bay
one can expect rain almost every
day, and straw hats appear only on
the heads of tourists from the East.
Not without reason does Califor
nia call itself the Golden State.
ENGINEERS paradise
With more and better raw ma
terial to work on than could be
found in any comparable area any
where, California has for years been
a paradise for engineers. Beginning
with the gold mining area, which is
still far from ended, technical men
have been working wonders in Cali
fornia. The great tunnels and aque
ducts in the south, bringing water
from the mountains to irrigate the
farms and turn turbines for electric
power, are matched by the magnifi
cent bridges across the Golden Gate
and the Bay of San Francisco in the
north. Califorians drill for oil in the
bed of the ocean, and invented the
curved drill which can tap oil depo
sits a mile away from the original
hole.
The “catipillar” tractor, most
useful of agricultural implements, is
a California invention. Scientific
agriculture and horticulture have a
wider application in California than,
I believe, in an other state.
)I still maintain that Florida, or
anges and grapefruit are superior to
the California products, but Florida
could learn a lesson from California
in the matter of marketing its citrus
fruit. Every California orange is, in
effect, personally conducted from tree
to consumer.
California is a scientific center of
world importance. The great tele
scope at Lick Observatory on Mount
Wilson has been the medium through
which the greatest astronomical dis
coveries of all time have been made.
Now the new 200-inch telescope,
twice as large, is being built on
Mount Palomer, near Los Angeles,
and in a year or two we shall know
more about the rest of the universe
than we have ever known before.
In every phase of scientific .re
search, many of the greatest leaders
are in California, working in the
University of California, and the
California Institute of Technology,
and attracting students and research
workers from all the world. Here
Luther Burbank did his great work
in developing new kinds of fruits,
vegetables and flowers; here the
most penetrating research into the
problems of human behavior and
the working of the human mind has
been done.
Something in the California air
seems to stimulate the thirst for
knowledge.
HOLLYWOOD work
Movie fans from all over the
world flock to Hollywood in the
tourist season, hoping to get at least
a glimpse, if not an autograph, of
one or more movie stars. Much
-bunk has been written about the
glamorous life of actors and actress
es, and the fabulous salaries young
men and women get for apparently
doing nothing but play around. As
a matter of fact, there are few
people who work harder for their
money than the movie folk. When
a picture is being made, the glamour
girls have to get up at 5 o’clock in
the morning to start their hair-do’s
and make-up for the day’s work,
which begins in the studio at 8.
They work until 6 or 6 o’clock on
the set, and get to bed by 8 or 9-
While a picture is in work they
have no time for play.
Between pictures the movie ac
tors and actresses make up for lost
time by having as gay a time as
they know how. Those are short,
brief intervals for the successful
ones. The discipline and demands
of the studios do not permit of any
sort of frivolous behavior while they
are working on a picture.
Not only tourists bub residents
are crazy about the movies. I went
to a preview at the celebrated Chi
nese Theater in Hollywood a few
days ago, and the streets were jam
med for blocks with crowds watch
ing for a glimpse of the stars as
they arrived. The picture was
“Stanley and Livingstone,” and when
it comes to your theater don’t miss
it. It is one of the most stirring
pictures I have ever seen.

Fruits and vegetables canned this
summer are insurance against lack
of variety and vitamins in next win
ter’s menus. Just as fast as beans
and other midsummer vegetables are
over with, the crop remains should
be cleared out as this has two very
desirable ends. First, large num
bers of insects are destroyed in the
immature stage that would other
wise reach maturity and go into
hibernation to infest the garden next
year. Second, weedy areas in the
garden during August and Septem
ber attract cut worm moths in search
of a place to lay eggs.
Ground for turnips should be fer
tilized with a good fertilizer. Aside
from their value as human food, tur
nips are excellent for cows, and pro
vide an ideal cover crop for the
garden.
Rev. M. L. Kester and son, John
Lee, left Sunday afternoon, August
20 for Statesville, N. C., to join Mrs.
Kester who has been spending tha
month of August with relatives. Af
ter a few days visit there, Mr. and
Mrs. Kester will visit friends and
relatives in Salisbury, Spencer and
Ashboro, N. C. On August 30 Mr.
Kester will deliver the sermon at the
annual homecoming at his home
church, Bethel, near Salisbury. Mr.
Kester wiU return, with his family
about the first of September.
