EDITORIAL COMMENT
Why Not Act on This Question.JESftfore It Happens?
THAT PERSONAL STAKE
Ownership of industry is going to Is*
spread—considerably, by a new plan.
Installment purchasing of homes, auto-
mobiles, appliances and other items involv-
ing major outlays is an established part, of
the American scene. And lx*ginning January
26 a plan whereby people may buy common
stocks in American industries in a compara-
ble manner will go into effect.
There is one important difference. The
stock purchase plan is non-contract ual,
which means that if a participant decides to
abandon it he will suffer no penalty or loss.
The shares he has actually paid for will be
his. The only expense involved is the regular
commission charged by brokerage firms. As
little as $40 every three months may la* in-
vested, and the maximum is $000.90 a month.
The time period for completing the plan may
run from one to five years, at the buyer’s
discretion.
Here is a new development with almost
limitless potentialities. Surveys have shown
that a great many people of small and mod-
erate means are eager to put part of their
savings into the shares of corporations in
which they have faith, but are unable to put
up a sizable sum of money in a lump. The
plan is designed to take cure of that prob-
lem. Moreover, it makes investment of this
nature a simple matter of routine.
More important still, the best defense
we can have against communism, socialism
and the other philosophies which would de-
stroy free enterprise and eventually the other
freedoms, is for the maximum number of
people to have a direct, personal stake in
the capitalist system. The plan offers that
opportunity to all.
It is a forward-looking arrangement, j
We consider it good for Industry, for the j
American populace, and for the country’s;
linancial well-being in general.

The group of fixhermen stopped in at a
buck woods farm house to see if they could
buy lunch.
"Reckon so,” suid the farmer’s wife,
"Kfleu you likes pork chops.—that’s all 1
got.”
The hungry men fell to with a will and
ate up the pork chops. Afterwards they
complimented their hostess on the quality,
of the meat.
"Well, I should hope so,” she replied,
"that’s none of your butchered meat. That
hog died a natural death.”—(Gilcrnfter).

Pack to voting. Whenever we stay away
from the polls, we should do this: Consider
the dismal thought of what would happen
it everybody, or nearly everybody, else did.

deal.
TV License for Millionaire McCarthy Backer
TOE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By DREW PKARSON
Washington.—The fabulous wealth of
Senator McCarthy's chief backer, Texas oil-
man H. L. Hunt, has just been made a mat-
ter of official record. Oilman Hunt has just
been awarded a television license at Corpus
Christi, Texas, and in order to get it, had
to list his approximate net worth.
Hunt filed a sworn statement that his
net income after taxes was "in excess of one
million dollars a year.”
A few people in the U.S.A. have an in-
come before tuxes of $1,000,000 a year. Put
by the time they pay taxes in the 80 nr 00
per cent brackets there isn’t much left.
Hunt, however, testified that his net Income
was “in excess of one million dollars after
taxes for each year of 1051 and 1052."
Of course his taxes are a bit lower than
some people’s because he gets the benefit of
the 2712 depletion tux allowance on oil wells.
But if Hunt were in a nonpreferred in-
dustry he would have to make a gross in-
come in excess of a million dollars. The 274
f>er cent oil-depletion allowance which helps
him is given oil operators because it’s an
extractive industry. In other words, oil dues
not stay in the ground forever. Coal, also an
extractive industry, gets only a 10 per cent
depletion allowance, while granite, gravel,
marble get 6 per cent.
Hunt uses his fabulous wealth partly to
Ixack Senator McCarthy, also finance the
"Facts Forum” TV program; and finally he’s
the biggest contributor to "America for
Americans,” a group of prewar isolationists
who put money into every campaign last
year where there was a chance to defeat
lil>erul senators.
Featured on Hunt’s Facts Forum TV
program is Allan Zoll, whose American Pa-
triots was put on the Attorney General's
subversive list. Among the books recommend-
ed to viewers are those of Merwin K. Hart,
whom Justice Jackson described as "well
known for bis pro-Fascist leanings.” On the
Facta Forum advisory committee is Gen.
Robert F. Wood, the Sears, Kim*buck execu-
tive and former head of America First. Woo t
is now honorary chairman of "America for
Americans.”
