TRAFFIC CONTROL LAWS NEED DRIVER AID FOR SAFETY Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier said in conference earlier this month that we can build the safest highways, design cars that give their occupants maximum protection, write good traffic control laws and enforce those laws strictly-- but unless we have" done something effective about the operators of automobiles, most of -the efforts we have expended in those other areas could largely be wasted in terms of lives saved. Mr. Carpentier pointed out that Illinois has been making commendable progress in traffic safety in recent years as the result of its coordinated program. He said that in the final analysis the entire Illinois program is aimed at one objective-- saving lives. Secretary Carpentier saidthat driver licensing seeks to do it in three ways. First of all, through • the examining of potential drivers, it strives to extend driving privileges only to those who demonstrate their qualification for a license. Second. through driver control it revokes or suspends the driving privileges of those who show, by their own actions, that they are a constant danger when behind a wheel, and thirdly, through driver improvement, it offers the "borderline" driver, the one who commits the so-called minor offenses. an opportunity to correct his bad driving habits before he becomes a truly dangerous driver. Finally. M1". Carpentier siid. the mvsterious motor scooter' amendment of 1957, which permitted persons 14 years old and over to opprate , motor scooters without holding driver licenses was repealed early^. in this session. However, he pointed out. the action was immediately followed by the introduction of bills in both IJouse and Senate to establish special licenses for 14 and 15 year olds to permit them ta operate those dangerous vehiploo FARMERS' SHARE OF CONSUMER'S DOLLAR 39% We are often asked about "the farmer's share of the consumer's dollar." Since there is so much misunderstanding about this subject, we will give some basic facts about it. The U.S. Department of Agriculture publishes widely quoted-- and misquoted and misused -- figures on (1) the imount the consumer spends for food as a percentage of disposable income and (2) the farmer's share of the dollar the consumer spends for food. During most of the past year or so, consumers have spent about 21 percent of their total disposable incomes for food. D i s p o s a b l e i n c o m e m e a n s what's left after income taxes are paid. This 21 percent is an overall figure. It includes the richest and the poorest--the nation as a whole. It is not a "typical family" figure. According to the U. S. Department of Labor, the typical working man's family spends 30 to 35 percent of its income for food. 1 The percentage of disposable income spent for food has held at around 22 percent for five vears. This proportion is a little lower than that spent during the pre-war years of 1935- 39 (23 percent, and considerib'v lower than during the nostwar inflation years of 1947- 49 (25 to 26 percent). Consumers spend a smaller share of their incomes for food now than thev did before Wor'd War II but, more imnortant. they get more and better food now than they did twenty years ago. The same kinds and amounts of foods that were purchased twenty vears ago for 23 percent of disposable income would now take onlv 16 percent. As has been said many times, no other peonle in the world get so much for so little. The farmpr's share of the dollar the consumer spends for food has ranged around 40 nercent during the past four years. For the past twelve months it has been very close to 39 percent. The farmer's share of the consumer's food dollar ha9 shrunk from 52 percent in 1946 to the 39 percent of recent months. But 1946 was an abnormal year because of rapid inflation. Perhaps there are no really prewar 1935-39 the farmer's share of consumer's expenditures for food was 40 percent. Thus the farmer's share of the dollar spent for food is nearly the same as it was 20 years ago. A longer comparison will also be of interest and may help us in guessing about future prospects. In 1915, before the United States became involved in World War I, the farmer's share of the consumer's food dollar was 44 percent. Wartime inflation lifted his share to 51 percent in 1918. But by 1921 it had shrunk to 40 percent, and it varied between 40 and 42 percent during the 1920'S. During 1932 and 1933. the w;orst years of the Great Depression, it shriveled to only .32 percent. From these facts it appears that the farmer's share of the consumer's food dollar will hold near or slightly below 40 percent until a major recession or strong inflation comes along. L. H.
