Subsidies Nothing New
By WALTER ROGERS
A review of history would reveal
lhat the government has been en
paged In the subsidygranting business
for a long long time In the
early days of this country between
1827 and 1866 the government granted
C140339 acres of public land to
private interests for the purpose of
encouraging canal building and river
Improvement and in addition thereto
granted free certain rightsof
way The rightsofway of course
were most valuable The government
at that time also made contributions
by direct appropriations stock
subscriptions and loans to private
canal companies
Between 1850 and 1871 some 183
million acres of Federai and State
owned lands were granted to railroads
Millions upon millions of dollars
have been assigneed by the Federal
government to ocean and air
mall subsidies to foster the development
of transportation In the same
manner as railroads and waterways
had been supported in earlier years
The first mail subsidy was paid
more than 100 years ago in 1845
Millions of dollars have been used
to subsidize the building of ships
on American ways In fact only a
few years ago 40 million was paid
in the nature of subsidy to help
construct the private luxury liner
the USS United States that plies
between this country and Europe
The total cost of that ship was
76800000
Hence the government subsidy
was more than the money invested
by the private corporation In the
early days the subsidy mechanism
was intended to bs employed for
the purpose of expanding transportation
encouraging foreign trade
fostering domestic industrial development
and so forth However since
the turn of the century subsidies
and subsidylike programs have mul
tiplcd to such an extent that their
impact is felt by virtual allele
ments in the nations economic structure
Probably the most publicized
and widely advertised of govern1
ment programs seems to be the agriculture
program
However It would be very well
for those who are Interested in the
subsidy programs to take a look at
the entire picture The last compilation
on the subject indicates government
subsidies to business running
well over 1 billion per year
subsidies to labor running well over
300 million per year and subsidies
to homeowners and tenants running
some 400 million per year
These subsidies consist of everything
from shipbuilding differential
subsidies to accelerated tax amortization
to highway construction to
negotiating government ntracts to
free services furnished by many of
the boards and bureaus to credit
guarantys and direct loan programs
to airport grants school lunch programs
and on and on It seems
that there Is some kind of subsidy
for every segment of our economy
These subsidies have been cxpan4
ed primarily due to the demands of
the people who are receiving them
that they be increased plus the
demands of those who are not receiving
subsidies that they be included
in the handout The primary
reason that they have not been re1
duced is that everyone is most anxious
to havethe other fellows subsidy
cut and his own increased
WHO GOT THE SUGAR
As I pointed out in previous newsletters
the sugar fight has been along
tough and ardous one tough
and ardcus because it involved money
in the amount of 500 million
pad out by Americans each year
for Imported sugar My father once
told me that if you want to see the
r6al color of a mans eyes start
fooling with his pocketbook The
truth of this statement was certainly
proven in the sugar battle For more
than ten years wee have been fighting
this battle in an effort to get
more sugar produced by cur own
farmers The gsing was slow and
frustrating because it is not easy to
fight that kind of money Never thc
less cur efforts were never relaxed
and each year we made a little
headway Actually we have won a
victory this year in that we have
finally broken the rigid limitation
that had been placed on domestic
producers Although we did not obtain
the amount of sugar to which
the American farmers are entitled
we did gain enough to open the
door and make it possible for enterprise
to move in and build some
more sugar mills in this country If
these people meant what they said tome
and others during this fight over
the years they will move forward
quickly toward building a mill in
the Panhandle
My vote was oast against the
The Gates Are Open
S
sugar bill in its final form because
although we did gain ground as
pointed out we did not get all that
we were entitled to and I shall continue
my fight untit that time comes
It would seem that the boys who
really got the sugar were the
lobbyists for the foreign countries
It seems that some 500000 has been
paid out in lobbying fees by foreign
countries for participating in the A
merlcan domestic sugar market The
whole situation reminded mco of a
story being told at the time Jack
Dcmpsey was defending his title
against the South Ameriaan Louis
Firpo the Bull of the Pampas
Tex Richter one of the great promoters
of history was handling the
bout There was much conjecture as
to who might win Mae West who
was then In her prime as a movie
actress was asked at a news conference
Who do you think will win
the DempseyFirpo fight She replied
Tex Richter

Swear Not At All
WALWORTH England UPI
Prcfanlty does not bother the
Vicar of Walworth In fact he
wishes his congregation would
not be afraid to swear In his
presence once In a while
The Rev John Watson told his
parishioners in the parish magazine
which was released Friday
that the church is here to bring
an abundance of life to those
who are in need
Rev Watson said that means
the church has a rollicking richness
and vitality that is not upset
by a few swear words
In case you are interested the
above news report was clipped
from one of our local papers a
few months ago This is not the
first time that the United Press
International has given us some
gems frcm the clergy cf the Church
of England Possibly this explains
why the church buildings

Simon Peter In an effort to
demonstrate to those who would
crucify Jesus that he was not

curse and swear But when he
realized the severity of his sin ho
went out and wept bitterly Many
tcday need net only to weep but
to repent as did Peter for the
Lord has said that he will not
hold the one guiltless that takcth
