The buzz of talk quieted down and the secretary read
a news item about a club in a neighboring town that had
successfully sponscred a Spring program to beautify their
community and to make it safer. It was suggested that
their own club start a similar campaign, and the motion
vas duly passed and a committee appointed.
The committee called on the mayor, gained his inter
e.st and his promise to issue a proclamation setting aside
a definite week for the campaign to be pursued. Other
members visited f re headquarters, and found the chief
eager to help. The Boy Scouts’ organization agreed to
clean up a number of lots. Cooperation was obtained from
street cleaning department, which consented to make
special collections of accumulations of rubbish. The com
mittee visited the schools, and the principals and teachers
arrranged to have the children take home suggestions for
a Spring Clean-up in every house. Important cooperation
was gained from the Chamber of Commerce, merchants
.and managers of industrial plants.
At fire headquarters the committee learned that self
inspection blanks were available which could be used to
bring all fire hazards to light. They found three types of
Manks: for homes, for industrial plants, and for mercantile
establishments. These were obtained free from the Na
tional Board of FUe Underwriters, 85 John Street, New
York City.
Once starts, everyone was surprised at the momen
tum gain by the Spring Clean-up Campaign. Not only' was
the city cleaned up and made spick and span, so that it
was far safer both from the standpoint of sanitation and
fire, but also a great deal of painting, repairing and
modernizing was done. Some ramshackle and worthless
l uildings were tom down and ground cleared. All in all,
a vastly improved community resulted. It was more attract
ive in appearance and business was stimulated.
o
A NATION O* 7 BEGGARS
There is now every indication that the recent economy
drive in congress was made of the «me stuff of which
all economy’ drives in recent years have been made—bally
hoo and buck passing
This is a paradoxical situation. On the surface, as re
corded by numerous polls and speeches, the public is all
tor economy. But public office holders, quick to accept
the views of public opinion, are extremely reluctant to do |
more than talk about it. They know that demands for :
economy are only “skin deep” as far as the public is con- i
cerned. Their constituents back home, polls and speeches '
notwithstanding, still demand “free money” for this or
that “worthy civic project.” Economy is all right
the.v say. in effect, so long as the fellow in the next state
or the next county bears the brunt of it.
The next time y’ou are tempted to curse the politicians
in Washingon for not pulling the drawstrings on the public
purse, just remember this: The average public official
won’t buck public opinion. Therefore, until the public
honestly demands economy and all of us are ready to grin
and bear the resultant pinch, the country will
have no economy.
Civic organizations, local politicians and business
men who advocate economy on one hand and on the
other beg like paupers from their representatives in the
nation’s capital, are a shameful menace to the welfare
of the country.
o
“IT COSTS TOO MUCH”
Hardly a day goes by without our seeing something
we wan* to purchase—but don’t because “it costs too
much.”
It may be a suit of clothes or a household conveni
ence. It may be something special for dinner. Whatever
is, the belief that “it costs too much” blocks
the purchase. And we customarily blame the merchant.
The merchant may’ be at fault in some cases, but not
in the majority’. He sells as cheaply as he possibly can,
snowing better than y’ou do that high prices do more
than anything else to build up sales resistance. Believe it
cr not. legislation, in many instances, is more directly re
sponsible for high prices than the people who make,
handle, and sell commodities.
A large number of states, for example, have passed
so-called fair trade laws. These laws vary in detail, but
all are about the same in principle. They effectively block
honest competition by preventing merchants from selling
certain articles below a specified minimum. As a result,
they placed a premium on waste and inefficiency. The
high-cost dealer is allowed to be the arbiter of price and
value. And the low-cost store isn’t allowed to cut the
nrice, even though it wants to and could do so and still
make a satisfactory profit.
Various local surveys concerning the economic effects
of these laws have been made. And in every instance, the
survey’s have shown tnat they raise the cost of living, and
reduce sales. The average family spends about all it re
ceives in income—and when prices are forced up it must
buy fewer or inferior articles.
So don’t blame y’our merchant when you think prices
sre too high. Most of the time he, like the consumer, is
a victim of price-boosting policies which are beyond his
control.
