Value In Advertising
PROVED BY EXPERIENCE
Does it pay to advertise in dull times? Is it
I of value to put out money for publicity when busi
nee is slow and cash scarce?
Gilbert T. Hodges, president of the Advertis
ing Federation of America- gives an emphatic af
firmative of both questions.
Mr. Hodges has made a study of the 17 year
records of 120 corporations. Sixty of these con
| cems failed to maintain their advertising programs,
i The other 60 increased their advertising expense on
j an average of 16 oer cent annually, regardless of
| general business recessions'
Of the concerns that maintain an increased
advertising program many have grown from small
companies to a standing among the foremost busi
Ii’ses oi America. The other, pursuing an
erratic course as to advertising, plunging in good
times and heavily retrenching in periods of stress,
have fallen out of the first rank of business enter
■ prises and a number of them have ceased business
entirely.
Does it pay to advertise in dull times ? Posi
tively it does. The future history of many an insti
tution of today will prove that fact, similarly to the
120 in the Hodges survey.
culties at present, the railroads are guaranteed nothing of the kind.
What the Transportation Aet says, in effect, is that the lines may,
IF THEY ARE ABLE, earn a return of 5'* per cent. There is no
intimation of a guarantee. If the lines earn more, half of it is taken
under the recapture provision and put into a fund for the benefit
of weak roads. If they earn less, that is their hard luck. 9
Their competitors are generally less regulated and wat
erway competition is largely subsidized by the government. A good
many tax dollars which are used to make up waterway deficits are
provided by the railroads.
The railroads face a problem that will not pass with the
depression, because of changing transportation methods. It is a
problem that grows more important to the public which owns, direct
ly or indirectly, billions of dollars of railroad seeurties, and is vital
ly interested in the employing and purchasing power of the lines
THE LESSONS FROM DEPRESSION
The lessons of depression should impress our group
and cause us to seriously consider the value of substance instead of
chasing shadows. It is time to take stock of our extravagance, and
separate luxuries from necessities, cut down overhead and expense,
and live more economically. Some of us have been living too high
and fast, and spending more than we make. No thought of tomor
row, eat and drink today. Thus when this misfortune came upon us
we were unprepared to cope with this unusual condition. We can
not grind with the water that has passed over the wheel, nor can we
bring back “the good old days" by wishing their return, but if we
have learned the lesson taught by this present depression, and pre
pare ourselves against the evil days, which are sure to return, the
lesson though severe, will do us good.
A REAL INVESTMENT
During a time when the general public purchasing
power has been far below normal life insurance sales have held a
high level. That is a good augury for the future of the country.
The kind of thrift that buys life insurance is the kind that builds
homes and factories, and makes for stability in government, busi
ness and society.
A lot of us who went wild in the boom years are com
ing down to earth. We are realizing that when it comes to invest
ments nothing is superior to life insurance. We've found that it
pays good solid dividends, protects both the insured and his depend
ents against the future, and is as safe as anything conceived by man.
And we’re acting accordingly.
WHITHER TAXATION
If there is a more vital issue at this time than taxation,
the average citizen and business manwill have a hard time finding it.
In 1890 the total cost of government. Federal. State and
local, was $875,000.000—$13.88 per capita. In 1919 it was $7,465.
j 000,000—$71.10 per capita. In 1929 it was $9,792,000,000—$80.58
; per capita. It is considerably higher now. What it will be in 1935
' if the present trend does on, challenges the imagination. The new
| revenue bill gives no cause for optimism.
Is the United States going the way of England, of Ger
many. of Australia! Are we going to be swamped by bureauracy.
waste, duplication, enlargement of governmental activities, patern
alism and an eventual dictatorship of officeholders!
The future of industry, of employment, of home build
ing and of individual progress is tied up with the problem of tax
| ation. High taxes frighten the investor, take money out of circula
tion. paralyze business. The assurance of economical, efficient and
restricted governmental activity would do more than anything else
at this time to bring depression to an end.

NO TAX SANTA CLAUS
Unele Sam, tax collector, is the very reverse of Santa
Claus, for whom some deluded people have mistaken him. says the
Oregonian. He does not spread bounty: he collects with relentless
hand from all of us, from the cradle to the grave. When we ask
Congress for money, we might as well realize that it will be taken
^ from our own pockets.
PREACHERS AND BIRTH
CONTROL
by R. A. Adams
(The Literary Service Bureau)
It is a long way from the ruth
less persecution of the earliest
proponents and advocates of birth
control to ita advocacy by minis
ters of the gospel. But it was in- i
evitable that these results should
follow enlightment.
There is the case of a Negro ;
| minister who is the father of seven I
I children. His wife’s health is!
! seriously impaired, and he has not
j been able to secure support for
; these children, all of whom are
under sixteen. Another minister
I has nine children, the oldest being
! twenty-five and the youngest ten.'
j Only one of these children has 1
been given a high school educa-1
to ruin; the next two are on the!
ragged edge: and already the ;
tion. The three oldest have gone i
younger ones have in them the !
virus of destruction.
Then, there is another such min
ister who has a family of six
children, all under seventeen. He
has a small charge and it is a safe :
bet that his children often are |
hungry. It is certain fhat they I
are under-nourished. These three
ministers are educated and should
have known better than to abuse
their wives and handicap their
chfltfben. They were not altruis-!
tic and considered it their duty to |
do so much toward keeping "the
human race alive; they were just
careless, and negligent; and their
wives were ignorant and pitiablv
docile.
Except in extreme cases where
it is a matter of life or death for
the mother, as decided by com
petent authority, destruction of
infant life is murder. Wilful
mis-carriage, abortion and infant
icide as prevalent today are mur
der. But, birth control by means
of self control, and rational meth
ods of contraception, is not im
moral it is wise and it is contri
butory to human betterment.
NEGRO LOBBY ORGANIZED
Washington (CN8) The Better
Citizens’ Bureau, a potential Ne
gro lobby and information bureau
has been organized here with of
fices at 907 l Street. Northwest.
Dr. W. FI. Jernagin. president I

that the Negro's legislative needs
and desires are known in the
proper places at the proper time.
Tbe Better Citizens’ Bureau has
already appeared before Congres
sional Committees in the interest
of government aid for the unem
ployed, equalization of labor con
ditions and wages on public work.
It is now interested in legislation
before Congress in the matter of
high rents in the District of Col
