Rep. Luce Of Massachusetts, Warns
Against Additional Outlay
And Appropriations.
CONDITION Is ONE OF
PERIL TO THIS NATION
Estimate Made By Congress Indi-
ates That Burden Is Over
$500 Per Family.

Washington. Feb. 10--In a speech
in the House in connection with the
second deficiency bill Representative
Luce of Massachusetts, discussed the
financial and taxation situation. Mr..
Luce declared the burden confront
ing the people averaged more than
$3.50 for every family in the land.
"Do you realize what confronts u.s.
said Mr. Luce. "At the moment the
taxes placed on the people by the diff
ferent cities in the United States for
their own affairs amount to nearly
$3.50 a family. You may add the
burden of the United States taxes by
remembering that every billion dollars
of tax money amounts to $40 for every
family.
$3.50 Per Family
Mr.. Mondell has called our atten-
ton to the fact that for the year
1921 we are confronted by obligations
and estimates Of 100000, 000-$5,-
000,000,000 for the estimate and S4,-
000,000,000 for obligations. Nine
billion dollars means an addition Of
more than $400 of contribution from
every family. Add that to your $3.50
for city expenses and throw in some
thing for State and county expenses,
and you will have confronting you a
burden on the people of more than
$3.50 for every family in the land.
81 do not know how much the in-
come of family in this country is
now. By reason of the changes in
prices it is impossible to compute.
but before the war it was carefully
figured out by Prof. w. /. King, and
he found that the average income of
each family was $1,000. Five hun
dred and fifty dollars means taking
more than one-third of the product
of the labor of every man in the
country for the uses of the Govern
ment-more than one-third Of the
product of every man, woman, and
child in this country who works for
a living. Do not carry away the idea
that such figure is exact. BY reason
of the change in values of money, the
proportion will more probably be
onc putTbtf W ont-nlJn. ne eSLl-
mate in England for the normal year
in the postwar period is 20 per cent,
one-fifth Of the income Of Great
Britain. After the Napoleanic wars
England was capable of standing
quarter, but England is better off in
her prospects now than she was after
the Napoleanic wars. To take even
one-fifth of the product of the people
is tremendous demand. 1t is fraught
with danger of political turmoil, of
financial crisis, even of disaster to
our institutions, and peril to the foun-
dations of the Government"
Mr.. Luce said the facts in the sit
uation might well give cause to every
thoughtful citizen and that he would
be thankful if he had encouraged q
single man to stand up against "add-
itional appropriations, additional out
lays and new ventures on the unchar-
tered sea of government"

shortly to be shown to the state and
nation in moving pictures. With this
program in view, Mr. Robert M. Foot,
photographer for the Mazda Produc-

and also assisted him in weaving a
comedy sketch with a local setting
and featuring trip to the canyon, in
which FATTY Arbuckle" Ca tramp)
steals ride amid a roll of bedding on
the running board of the car, and also
steals the biscuits and everything else
that comes handy in the line Of pro-
visions, etc. OF course, the picture
would not be complete without the ad-
dition of some pretty girls and the US
ual gang of small boys, all of which
were supplied by local talent.
In all some eleven or twelve hun
bred feet of picture was made, the
strictly educational portion of which
will be supplied to New York office
in the form of print, and then null
tiplied and sent broadcast throughout
the United States through the medium

ing Of the feature. In fact, Mr.. Bry-
ant, the manager of The Thorley, has
the promise that it will be available
for his show within two weeks.
The taking of moving pictures, in
volving dramatic plot, was real
education as well as highly anus
ing incident for local youngsters.

Enoch, Utah, February IL, 1920.
The school at Midvalley, under the
direction of Miss Estelle Jones, gave
a very interesting program appro-
pirate for Lincoln's birthday Wednes-
day afternoon. Primary is progress
ing favorably there, also.
DIR. Bergstrom was called here to
make sure whether or not it was flu
with which Willard Jones was i'll, and
he pronounced it not flu. The Doctor
also went up to the farm of r. w.
Jones at Summit and found Mr.. Jones
to have an attack of influenza. There
have already been two or three cases
there, but none of them serious. We
are glad to report that there is no flu
here at present.
Thornton Jones is home from Logan
where he has been attending school
and will possibly return when the flu
abates.
Early this week Mr.. and Mrs. S. F.
Jones received from the Red Cross in
France photographs of the final rest
ing place Of their son Henry, and it is
comfort to them to even be able to
see through this medium the white
cross which marks the sacred spot.
Aunt Susannah is slowly recovering
from her illness which the whole COM
munity is glad to note.
There is more moisture in the
ground this year than there was at
this time last year, which makes the
farmers think they are going to have
good crops this season. 1t is certainly
hoped that their anticipations will be
realized.

LUBRICATI0N IS
OF IMPORTANCE
Life of Engine and Car Depends
on Proper 0iIing of Many
Different Parts.
PREVENT METALS TOUCHING
To Avoid Trouble With Bearings or
Cylinders Put in an Extra Pint OF
Oil Every Hundred Miles-Don't
Wait for Squeak.

1.-THE life of your engine and car
depends upon lubrication." is the sub
iect of an article appearing In recent
issue of an automobile magazine.
The principle of fabrication is to
prevent any two pieces of metal that
are working one against the other from
touching. This is accomplished by hav-
Ing II film of oil between these TWO
metals. Upon this film OF oil depends
the life of bearings. cylinders and pis-
ton rings. Only three different grades
of lubricants are used. The owner
should provide himself with supply
of gas cylinder oil. grease and steam
eugine oil.
Right Oil for Engine.
Never use steam engine oil or any
thing but n pure mineral oil in the en-
zine. Fast running or riding over
heavy and lilly roads uses up oil much
faster than city driving. Put In an
extra pint of oil every hundred miles
or so. This precnution will avoid
trouble with bearings or cylinders.
Once a month or every thousand
miles. the oil in the crank case should
be drained off and fresh supply
poured in. The oil may be drained by
removing the drain plug at the bottom
of oil pan. After draining, flush the
crank case with kerosene through the
breather pipe, replace drain plug and
ref,ll with clean oil. Be absolutely sure
that all the kerosene is drained off,
otherwise 1t will mix with the fresh oil
and will cut down its lubricating quail
ties.
Trouble Follows Squeak.
Don't wait until you hear squeak
before oiling. A squeak" means II
rusted or dry bearing, and when once
In that condition trouble soon follows.
The compact construction of some
cars makes necessary the placing of
oil holes and grcnse cups under the
floor boards of the car. Don't, be-
cause 1t might cause you little extra
trouble, forget to remove them ana
iubrcnte as directed.
