October Song Would I . were a poet. Maybe it's just as well I'm not, but if I were, I'd write, a sonnet or' something about autumn rain. October rains have a beauty all their own, a somber beauty. They are not like driving summer rains, brought on by the very violence of the heat. Nor are they like the warm spring rains which melt the snow "and cause the seeds to swell, as they bring the tidings that another an-other winter's gone. ; They carry a bit of a chill, foretelling fore-telling the inexorable advent of the year-end. They build up slowly and fa if persistently, washing the dust of Indian Summer from the air, making the painted leaves of tree and plant to glisten in the gray light, before they drop to earth. At evening, October rains may turn to sleet or snow. They hold the poignant sadness of Tosti's Good-Byo. Good-Bye to Summer, Good-Bye, Good-Bye. They bring sweet melancholy to field and hill, to country lane and city street; causing dusk to come too soon on rural roads, and lights to be turned on In late afternoon in stores and townS, as drops splatter on the windows, and wet sidewalks cast up colorful reflections reflec-tions of traffic lights and signs. They bring'fhoughts of the shelter shel-ter of home warmed by a live fire in a s'toVe, the' 'flavor Of homemade home-made bread Just out of the oven; memories of the smell of burning cedar wood. October rains are like that, generally, gen-erally, even though the one which inspired this tribute, just after the noon hour last Saturday was, like some other of Nature's manifestations manifesta-tions hereabouts at times, a bit on the rough side with a heavy downpour, down-pour, lightning, thunder, and hail. But it was a delightful October rainstorm just . the same, and, folks, that's' just about all I can think of to say about October rains right now. Cabin In ,Tbo Sky About all, that is, except a few words in appreciation of the bea uty of a storm high up on the House Range last Friday morning Floyd Moody invited me to ride out and back when he was taking a load of supplies to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Moody, who reside almost the year around in a little house at Amasa Valley, and love it. I have seen the House Range from -many viewpoints, in all of the seasons. I have encircled It by auto, flown over it by private plane, sailed past it on the west in winter in a C-47 with the hay-lift, hay-lift, looked up at it from the old CCC camp at Painter Springs, and driven up North Canyon several times between 1935 and the pre sent, but this was something new. Never before had I been on top, afoot- " The view was magnificent, as Impressive In its way as the pin nacle of Notch Peak when circled in an airplane. Amasa Valley, commonly pronounced Amasee, is a beautiful, lightly wooded expanse ex-panse of rolling country at about the 8000 foot level. Several fresh water springs are found there, which form little streams and lakes. Little groves of Aspens, now bedecked in yellow autumn leaves, Stand out. The bowl of the valley is surrounded by the mountains which rise another thousand feet or so. culminating in the 9728 foot Notch, on the south.

Ray Spor and Walter Manis the most obvious common sense to were operating a pneumatic drill, preparatory to blasting. To me, while I know almost nothing of the art of mining metals, ferrous or non-ferrous, the work looked Interesting, and the ore like some kind of hard grey rock. I am anything any-thing but an expert on such things; not qualified to pass an opinion on it, I like to think myself more of an authority on good scenery, and the view from the top of Baldy was sublime. A storm was moving in from the west. Sheets of rain, like big stage curtains, hanging from the clouds, swept over the hills In the direction of Kings Canyon. The dry-lake expanse of Tule Flat was spotted with clouds and storms; northward, Swazey and the Tatow Knobs were highlighted high-lighted in mottled sunlight. Easterly East-erly were Sevier Lake and the desolate expanse where Delta lies. There are not only gold, tungsten, tung-sten, and rare earths, if you can find them, in them thar hills, but also deer. (Ask Hugh Ivie.) And in this connection, Don and Floyd have about as sweet a hunting preserve as I have seen. We drove to a little cabin, off by itself, on the east slope of the valley. Numerous Nu-merous roads have been built in the area. Hard by is a water hole, where deer come to drink. This setting would provide deer hunting de-luxe. The cabin is well built, weather tight, lined inside, with a cooking range. For fuel, one would need only go a few steps with an axe. I asked Floyd who kept the keycs to the cabin, and he said there aren't any keyes, and to just go ahead and move in a tempting offer, indeed, to one who is too much of a stay-at-home to do It". The spot is some 45 miles west of Delta, in the range which lies between the old and new routes of highway 6, reached by a road which takes off to the southwest from the old route, at a point east of Marjum Pass. The ride gave a new perspective to old scenes. Profit Forum writers have been engaging engag-ing in a discussion of the profit motive, touched off by a Socialist who brought forth the old saw that under socialism, goods would be produced for use and not for profit a proposition which looks like a lot of people, and which would be except that it ignores important import-ant principles in human psychology psycho-logy and economics. It is amazing that there can be such widespread misunderstanding of the profit motive, and what a profit Is. To some extent, this a- rises from confusion In definitions. People use the word profit when they mean some form of tax, levy, or extortion. Actually, a profit Is simply a reward for a service rendered. In a free system, it has to be earned to be collected. That people consider con-sider the service In question worth the cost Is attested by the fact that they buy It of their own free will. A profit Is very much like a wage, except that when unions use monopolistic power, It is wage rates, not profits, which become extortionate. Yet socialists never say, "We would produce goods for use, not for wages". But invariably, wages constitute a much greater proposition of the cost of anything usually more than 80 than profits do. However, the point Is that both wages and profits are legitimate if collected in the free, not monopolized, markets. Marxists tie "profits" in with their theory of surplus value. They, erroneously, regard profit s "surplus "sur-plus value", added to the "actual cost" of goods, which "surplus value", withdrawn from circulation by the "profiteer", ultimately re Wmott TheBsbtmiMBeartca ' : A tK: cf cherished flavor , :ir"-i-:C":r' J ZZZ? KCmjCKT STRAIGHT BOURSCI j -T" "rJT?? ; '' . sults i.i the d, yln ; u;j of the purchasing power of the masses, and brings on a depression. This theory is in the twilight' zone of hazy economics. It is true that in the "natural" workings of our banking system, periods of deflation de-flation do occur, which wipe out the purchasing power of the people, peo-ple, and bring on economic distress. dis-tress. This occurs whenever there is a net reduction in the volume of "debit" outstanding from the banks. (Mr. Eccles, former head of the Federal Reserve, would back me up on this if anyone wanted to make an Issue of It.) But this drying up of purchasing power, which brings on depressions, does not result from the collection of "profits" by merchants, as the Marxist theory of surplus value holds. It results from a general trend toward the paying off of debt to the banks. Nor is it quite valid to hold, as some do, that our system is a "profit and loss" system, in which losses necessarily must balance profits. There Is no reason, theoretically, theo-retically, why all enterprise cannot be run at a profit at the same time. Four years ago, I explained the "elements of cost" as clearly as I could In a letter to the Wall Street Journal. Another correspondent, on , noting that the price of automobiles automo-biles had doubled since 1940, had written in and asked, "In the final accounting, is the doubled price much of anything more than the doubled wages, from the ore in the mines, the cotton in the fields, the wool on the sheep, or the rubber In the trees, to the finished: product?" Mv reolv held that. "The answer Is that, in the final analysis, all costs resolve into the total cost of the human service that contributes to the production and distribution of any product, from the raw materials to the placing oi n in the hands of the consumer. "This is a very important prin ciple of economics and one not stressed sufficiently in most tea ching of the subject. "Wages, .materials, interest, tax es, salaries to list some oi me elements of cost commonly recog nized In accounting simply re-Dresent re-Dresent what human beings receive for their services, the total of which adds up to the retail price of any product. The only commodity commod-ity on earth that is free Is air, and air Is free because each person per-son can, normally, obtain what he needs of it without employing the services of another. "Money, the medium of ex change and the measure of value, Is passed from hand to hand a-mone a-mone neonle in Innumerable tran sactions along the line of produc tion and distribution; the only way the price of anything can be reduced re-duced is by someone along the line accepting less money for his part in the process; or and this is an Important point by Increasing Increa-sing the efficiency of his work, as with labor saving machinery, so that less human service per unit is required. By increased efficiency, and by that alone, can production and purchasing power be increased without reducing the amount paid for some human service. "The services of the worker, the capitalist, the government official, and the manager of business, norm ally constitute specialized contributions contri-butions to the whole effort, and together represent division of labor; la-bor; defining labor in the larger sense to include all human service. ser-vice. Each Individual is rightfully entitled to such reward as his particular type of service can command com-mand In the free market " Since profit Is a reward for a needed service, then it follows that if profit were eliminated, the particular service would not be made available, and its lack would and has, played hob with production produc-tion and distribution wherever co-cialism co-cialism has been tried. It is superfluous to say again that profit is legitimate when earned in the free market, but so many people overlook the point that profit is both legimate and necessary when it is earned in the free market that I feel justified in repeating it here In conclusion. 15 TUDSTIQX" IC'JISVIUE, KlTtftn , " . .
