requirement of the government in
taxes to carry on the war. These
taxes are likely to increase as HOSTILE

the amount paid into the federal
treasury under existing laws is small.

penses of city, county and state have
been made. but it is not too early to
begin to plan reduction in expenses
while the war lasts.

IAN increase Of 100 per cent in the

my opinion this will be of more value
than even military aid. I hope to see
every citizen Of the state get out and
work for increased food production.
This was the statement made this
week b. Governor Ernest Lister, in

edness" campaign now IN progress

culture. Comprehensive plans for or

were formulated and all officials,

on to exert their greatest energies to
forwarding the work of maximum
crop production.
