Wages and Baskets By GEORGE S.BENSON huidmt of Hording Collogo Searcy. Arkansas

A REAL BASKET of food, according to the American Federation of Labor, is a good unit to. use in measuring >income. That is, how many baskets of food will your wages buy? The Federation’s ""Monthly Survey” % for July has put together some* interesting figures comparing wages in America in 1940 with wages in Europe in 1940. These figures are in terms of baskets containing items for adequate nourishment. An American family of five would need about four of these baskets a day. One hour’s work by a factory worker in the United States in 1940, according to- the A.F. of L., would buy 2.83 baskets. In Britain an hour of work would buy 1.26 baskets. In France, l.il; in Germany, 1.02; in Italy, .65; and in Russia,, only .40“. This 'means that the American worker could buy with his wages seven times as much food as a Russian could with his in 1940. Measure of THESE FIGURES Fr«*l«m -are in keeping with >’ ’ personal observations in Europe in 1936 and again in 1946. ' The amount of food a worker could buy with his Wages was in direct proportion tc the amount of freedom that a worker enjoyed in his own country. Russia had the least individual freedom and the lowest wages. America had the most freedom and the highest wages. More than 20 years of Communism in Russia, under a totalitarian state which owns and operates the tools of production, has failed to change the ratio in comparison witfr America. The “Monthly Survey” is right when it comments that history .hat proved that “free enterprise under a democratic form of govern-

ment provides the highest living standards for workers." Workers are becoming aware that their best opportunities lie in preserving individual opportunity—freedom to own property and to create and operate an industry or a business. Threats I FEAR, however, that Today the American public docs not understand some of the threats being made upon this very.essential factor in ♦he American way of life. 1 am interested in seeing industry pay the highest possible wages. America must continue to provide the best for the most. But I see dangers threatening the very things that enable Americans to buy more baskets of food than the workers of any land. 1. High taxes are cutting off investment of new venture capital. This will'prevent expansion and growth. New tools and new industries will not be available to provide jobs. ‘ 2. An extravagant federal budget continues to spend and to create inflation. This restrains men from venturing and investing. 3. Industrial relations are unsteady. This instability again makes capital afraid to venture. Taxes must be lowered enough that the ordinary man can keep a larger percentage of his coamings, and so that men will be inspired to invest and venture out into business enterprise.'We need to overhaul the federal budget, to get rid of wasteful and inflationary government spending. We need firm but friendly industrial relations. If these things were achieved, they would do much to preserve the essential ingredient of our system of high wages and high standards of living in this land of the free.

PROMINENT GUNNERS TO COMPETE IN "SILVER DOLLAR MARATHON" SEPT. 6 & 7

One of the finest shooting events ever presented in Indianapolis, from a spectator’s standpoint, will be held at the Capitol City Gun Club, Belmont and Raymond streets, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 6 and 7. ; Instead of the usual cumbersome field of entrants, consisting largely of “class” shooters with little hope of winning top honors, only 40 or 50 nationally prominent gunners are expected to compete in this “Silver Dollar Marathon” over the 200 target distance for a guaranteed purse es $2,000. According to plans announced by Fritz Gierhart, club president, all entrants will participate in a 100-target 20-gauge shoot Saturday afternoon. Then a “Calcutta” auction, open to spectators as well as shooters, will be held at the club house Saturday night to set the stage for Sunday’s rich event The ljst of Indianapolis conten-
