SUMTER DOCTOR
Sent TOPRESON
DR.. ]. c, Bagley Gets 9
Months Under Mar
cote Act

MACON. July l5.-Dr. J. {. Bag
ley, Of Sumter county, pleaded guilty
before Judge Beverly D. Evans III the
United States court Wednesday af-
terhoOn TO violating the Harrison mar
sectlc act and was sentenced 10 nine
months in the fedora penitentiary at

In sentencing DR. Bagley, Judge

an old offender. The physician was

the physician had good recommends
tons from prominent people Of Sum

against DR.. Bagley by Dr.. c. +. MIL
err of the government.
Mr.. Park said that he understood
that two government men went to DR..
Bagley's office and obtained orders

ommendation from prominent men OF

PENDANT.

a drug addict into Dr., Bagley's Of
flee to get an order, but that he

times like these" said an Americas man
yesterday, Separate the SHEEP from the
GOATS. When business is good, money
plentiful, most every one pays promptly, but
when a smash comes and | need to collect
quickly and closely, then know who is en-
titled to credit in the FUTURE. and who is
not, and will remember, you bet.
"A fellow came into my place early this week;
he owed me quite bill, and said: Brother,
| know how you feel and yet I'm in as bad
as bad as YOU He and went over his affairs,
we found way out that helped us both. He
paidme some cash and both of us think more
of each other today than before. Another
customer refused to pay even a part, made
lot of useless excuses and finally ended by
laying it all at the Door of Hard times That
fellow is on a salary and his boss told me his
salary had not been cut And I'll remember
that man, too"
The merchant needs his money today-this
month-and he needs it badly. His creditors,
in most instances are charging him heavy
interest OH HIS dCCOuntSS ne can Duy some
things he needs to replenish his stock. You
owe him, and YOU should pay, if it is in
the bounds of possibility. In the longs of
life YOUR neglect will come back to YOU.
""Sow the winds and as surely as the sun
rises, you'll reap the whirlwind" Business is
the greatest "evening" factor on earth. Play
the game fair and you win. Otherwise you'll
lose in the end
Weeks or months ago you got those goods.
You have used them. You owe for them.
Your creditor is calling for his money. 1t is
his. He wants it and should have it. Why
temporize? Why delay longer?
Today YOUR creditor is thurnbing his
ledgers, separating the SHEEP from the
GOATS. In which column will your name go?
Man, don't put off seeing him any longer. If
you can not pay all, pay what you can, but
GO TODAY. Don't destroy your most valu-
able business asset-Your CREDIT. No human
can tell what the future holds for him. The
day is bound to come when you will need
that credit-the day when CREDIT will mean
more than all else. Preserve it.

PRESS ASSN. REVIVED
Upper Peninsula Editors Decided 10

A very good representation OF the

Marquette last Saturday in response
to an invitation sent out by Secretary
Baldwin OF the T. r. Press Assn. for
the purpose of deciding II the associ-
alton should be revived and made an
active ofrce in the peninsula. There
was a very general sentiment express
ee in favor or revival with the under
standing that the work OF the associa-
tion be confined TO practical, helpful
suggestions for the betterment and
ip-building OF the press OF the penin-
sula.

dent and Frank L. Baldwin was made
secretary. the two officers TO consti-
tute committee 10 make arrange
ments for a meeting of the associa-
alton next winter. probably in Febru-
ary.
One very important step taken was
10 make a survey OF the commercial
printing plants OF the peninsula with
view 10 standardizing prices that a
fair return may be had by employing
printers everywhere. The president
was Instructed TO appoint a COM
mittee of five TO take up the survey
work and TO make a report at the
next meeting OF the association.

THAT STATE TAX

When the campaign was on last
year The Diamond Drill cautioned
candidates against promising a re-
duction In state taxes this year. II did
so because, from our very limited In
sight into state affairs. we could zee
plainly that there was no possibility
OF the state taxes being reduced. We
were criticed by some OF our friends
for taking this position but the recent
disclosure OF the state tax rate shows
that We pretty nearly knew what we
were talking about Our state tax rate
shows this year will be $4.0S per thou
sand dollars against s2.s7 last year.
But, Il isn't to say II told you so"
that We have been influenced TO say
something on this tax question. II Is
because the tax question is the great
est question In Michigan today. III
Michigan IS TO maintain its position IN
the industrial world II must turn its
attention to its taxation problem and 1t
must turn TO Il an unselfish attention.
not one dominated by the principle OF
this or that interest getting from un-
der some part OF burden TO be slum-
ped off onto another interest.
Michigan's tax problem in the main
ssn't very different from thetaxprob-
lem in other states but other states
are giving to the solution more dis
interested attention than Michigan Isl
We have observed In Michigan--not
alone In our state government, but I'm
its subdivisions a tendency on the
part OF almost every interest to COM
plain Of taxes when they are not get
ting back more or as much as they
pay and 10 comdone exhorbitant taxes
when the increases are caused by ex-
penditures In which they profit. Item
after item has been added TO Michi-
gan's tax burden that have been pro-
moted by interests that can see gain
from the additional state activity.
The selfishness OF one interest is
paired" with that OF another which
has some other axe 10 grind and thus
the new activities that call for additi-
onal expenses are pyramided and tax
% mount. Taxes will mount untl this
