The editor of The Star is going to horn in for a little of the credit for we've been whooping up the. necessity for at least a landing strip for the past six years; but most of the credit goes to Capt. Paul Metcalf, who is putting in a flying, school and charter plane service, and County Commissioner Basil E. Kenney Jr.. who has been taking flying lessons over at Pan- ama City and who has purchased a plane of his own and needs a place to land it. / ICapt. Metcalf will start his fly- ing school on November '1, with U.

The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong WAGES AND INFLATION If there is one opinion generally accepted as to post-war conditions, it is that rising wages are a sure forerunner of inflation. If there is one fact markedly outstanding in the news it is that labor is determined to boost wages. But in the face of these facts it is also ap- parent that there is in congress, and in other prominent places, a clearly defined purpose to undertake the experiment of boosting wages without inflating prices. It seems that this is to be done by compelling the productive and distributive features, other than labor, to ab- sorb the increased cost of labor. In other words, labor is to receive an in- creased portion of the consumer's dollar, at the expense of capital, management, and profits. In our system capital must earn in- terest, including compensation. for risk in- volved ; management must receive pay in pro- portion to its merits, and promoters must re- alize profits. The key-word in this series is "profits." In tightening conditions, profits first disappear, and when profits fail, the ma- chine has no motive power and will stop. What do figures say about this plan of boosting wages and holding down prices? It is generally considered by responsible econo- mists that about 75 cents of the consumer's dollar goes to labor, from the raw material to the finished sale across the counter. To make the figures easy to handle and give the theory the benefit of the doubt, let us con- sider labor's share of the consumer's dollar as 70 cents. Labor is now demanding an increase of 30 per cent in wages. This would increase labor's share'by 21 cents, making his total 91 cents out of the consumer's dollar. That would The Low Down n from Willis Swamp Editor The. Star: Now thet this here war is over we kin begin to ask questions and mebbe ferret out some answers and. bigger if we choose to do as we're told like we bin used to doiin', or if we kin use our own head. What I got in mind is this here 30-hour week bizness. I bin putting' 2 and 2 together. They bin tellin" us how they're closin' down the OWI, and. AAA, etc. But when one outfit folds up, the' Boys' and Gals jist show up In another dept. in the next office the next day. But ifen the worst comes to the worst, this here 30-hour idMee will 'fix it so nolbuddy in the govt. will be out. And when elec- tion tinies comes along, millions of employes-and! their relatives- will have votes, which ain't hay, as' votes go. All govts., git topheavy when the citizens go docile-as, you read In history-and go kinda balmy be- fore they blowup. France' took on the 30-hour week, and socialism, and petered out. Once' upon a time Spain was a rip-roarin' world power-so was Portugal-so were leave but 9 cents for risk, capital, manage- ment, and profits. If it is true that these latter interests are now receiving 30 cents of each dollar for their share, is it reasonable to expect that the same service can be rendered for 9 cents? What would become of profits? And what would become of your motive power? What would keep the machine running? It just can't be done. It may be said that limited inflation is necessary. There are reasons for that theory. If we are to approve them, we might boost wages and allow prices to rise. Then there may be a "nigger" in labor's woodpile. Union labor might be given a 30 per cent boost, and other labor kept at or a little below the pres- ent scale. There is about one union laborer to every nine non-union workers. It is not hard to see that the nine might lose enough to make up the gain of the one and leave la- bor's share of the consumer's dollar just where it is-70 cents-and capital, manage- ment, and profit with their 30 cents. But would such a condition be sound ? Would it be fair and just? Would it last long?. We think not. There is another "think" coming. -Holmes County Advertiser. THE ROAD TO RUIN The new and better life we are all prom- ised in our postwar world may be costly en- tertainment. The plan to pay $25 maximum unemployment benefits for 26 weeks might better be called the "National Vacation Meas- ure." What would happen at the end of 26 weeks when the vacation was over? Would there be a new bill for the next year, on the theory that unless it was passed there would then be unemployment? Naturally, tihe higher the benefits and the longer the period each year for which they are paid, the more difficult it will be to recruit help. Busines- concerns find workers unwilling to accept work, even when thousands are being laid off from war industries. Farm help is almost im- possible to get at any price the farmer can pay, to raise food to sell at a figure demanded by the government. Sooner or later we are all going to have to get down to earth and work and save, or we will starve. All the hot air to the contrary, government can't take money away from tne people in taxes to furnish the handouts nocw proposed. Legalized loafing on the govern- ment payroll will break any nation ultimately, Now that daylight saving has come to an end, perhaps some statistician can tell us just how much daylight we saved. t'he Romans a hefty outfit.
