EDITORIALS Stabilizing Our Economy Editor Ralph H. Turner of the Temple City Times and a past president of the California Newspaper Publishers Association, wrote an editorial recently that makes a lot of sense and answers some questions on business conditions. Turner is well known in newspaper circles for his ability to think clearly and express himself with dispatch. Here's Ralph's literary offering: "It is not so surprising that this country is going through an economic recession, or whatever you want to call it. We have business adjustments every so often and after the spiraling inflation of the past 10 years, some deflation should not be unexpected. "The surprising thing about our current slump is the evidence of both inflationary and deflationary influences, operating at the same time. In the past, a drop in business has had a leveling effect on prices and wages. Not so this time. "Today, we have a paradox. On one hand unemployment goes up, factories lay off workers, corporation earnings go down, dividends are omitted or cut and stock prices reach new lows. "But on the other side of the street, wages continue to rise, cost of production goes up and so does the cost of living. The recent new peak in living costs, it is true, resulted largely from higher food prices which are blamed on freezes in Florida and excessive rains in Texas." However, they only contributed further to the anomaly of our present situation. Workers in the auto industry, "Indeed, the U.S. and bump.

"But on the other side of the street, wages continue to rise, cost of production goes up and so does the cost of living. The recent new peak in living costs, it is true, resulted largely from higher food prices which are blamed on freezes in Florida and excessive rains in Texas. However, they only contributed further to the anomaly of our present situation. Workers in the auto industry, for example, (that is, those who still have jobs) received cost-of-living pay boosts. These will be paid while auto manufacturers either are laying off workers or putting them on shorter work weeks. The wage increase will increase the cost of making cars, at a time when the automobile business is down — and so where do we go from there? Wholesale distributor Bob Evans, Meza, Arizona, uses a plant provided and maintained by Standard. We help Bob develop new business and back him with engineering assistance on his customers' lubrication problems. Robert "Bob" A. Juner, San Francisco, operates his own service station. We supply him with business forms, maps, lube guides and major equipment. Bob makes good use of Standard's training programs to improve his service to you. Standard helps air Salt Lake indicator service his customer Standard credit cards make it possible for independent marine dealers like Joe Faires, Port Angeles, Washington, to honor charge accounts. When fuel and lubrication problems arise, his customers can rely on help from Standard's engineers. "Big Business" creates opportunities for "small business." With each doing the job for which it is best qualified, both are able to operate more efficiently... give you better service. In our particular case, here's how it works. Standard research and manufacturing skill assure quality products. In turn 11,028 distributors of Standard products — represented by the six Western independent businessmen above — help bring you these products in Hawaii, British Columbia and of the Western Hemisphere. Because these independent businesses an important service for us, with technical help, suggest cedures, advertising and media. Thus by helping them to help both able to serve you even "Indeed, the U. S. has invented a new kind of slump and bump. Men of both political parties are arguing over how to stimulate the economy, whether we need a shot in the arm through tax cuts or public works projects or whether President Eisenhower suggests, everything will be all right if we just keep the faith. "From where we sit we are more concerned about the stabilization of our economy than we are the stimulus. We wish the men in Washington were, too. Right now, we're a man in a skyscraper office building who never knows whether he's on the UP elevator or the DOWN elevator."
