CAR STOLEN
AND SAFE ROBBED
MONDAY NIGHT
BU NGLING JOB PULLED BY TY-
RO TUFTS - OVERLOOK CASH
AND DITCH FORD. NO CLUE
TO MISCREANTS,

Monday night burglars stole F. A.
Sinclar's Ford from his garage and
drove it to Lou Brender's shops where
they broke in and carried his small
safe outside and broke into it. taking
S3.25 in change and overlooking
$6.75. The safe was left in front Of
the shops and soma of the money was
found next morning on the ground.
The thieves had driven the car
across the track ard ditched it near
the treste of the logging road where
ii crosses the G. N. tracks below
town and it was found the next morn
ing with the front axle bent and
otherwise damaged Some of the
tools from Mr.. Sinclar's car had been
left in Brender's shop.
The thieves must have been mex
perienced or drunk Some tourists
a gentleman and his wife-who had
iroken their auto down Monday eve
ming and been pulled in by Mr.. Bren-
Ger, were sleeping in their car across
the street from the shop and the lady
heard some noise when they drove up
to the shop but went to sleep, paying
no more attention to what was going
on, 1t is evident that they had stolen
the auto and driven to the main shor
where they backed it up near the
door. Then they had gone into the
shop and taken the safe out, presum-
ably with the intention of loading it
into the car. A touring car is not {.
handy vehicle in which to load even a
small safe. They should have secured
a truck. Finding that they could not
load the safe they had broken it open
and in their haste overlooked most Of
the cash.
The thieves first had gone to the
CLarey home and undertook to take
their Ford, but wheel lock was or
ii and they left.
There is no clue to indicate who did
the job,

THE GROWING TAX BURDEN.

Back in the days of the Boston tea
party, the term taxation held an ugly
meaning for the American people.
One hundred and forty-five years
later the term taxation is again
arousing public discussion.
Every state and every individual is
feeling more and more the heavy hand
of the taX-gatherer.
Illustrating the enormous burdens
of the people, the American National
Bank of San Francisco has lust pub
lished remarkable comparison IF

ers from people in California for the
year ending June 30, 1920, compared

TWO THUGS HOLD UP MAN Be
TWEEN FIFTH AND NINTH
STREETS-IN SIGHT OF PASS
ING AUTOS.

World: Louis Smith, who has been
employed at the job of thinning APP
Piles, reported to the police Tuesday
that the was held up and robbed of
$50 on Wenatchee avenue, Just our
SIDE the city limits, by two armed
highwaymen, who did not even take
the trouble to wear masks.
They met Smith as he was walking
along the avenue towards Wenat
chee, and threatened him with dire
results if he did not turn around and
walk back towards steep bluff
where a culvert carries the Gum
Ditch under the pavement.
Though automobiles were passing
in both directions, Smith did not dare
make an outcry as both his assail-
ants were heavily armed. When they
reached the culvert they searched
him and took his watch besides $50
in money. The helpless victim did
not dare cry out for help, even though
he could hear the voices Of people
passing in cars above his head.
The police and sheriff's forces have
a good description of the two men
and one suspect was taken into Gus
tody soon afterwards armed with a
revolver, a black jack and a set Of
tools used to break open doors AMI
windows.
Smith had just been paid off in
money and was on his way to town
Hereafter he declares he will insist
upon taking a check instead Of the
cash.

PURPOSE OF CLUB
ORGANIZATION Is.
TOLD BY BIERCE

Lee H, Bierce, secretary of the
Grand Rapids Association of Com
merce of Grand Rapids Mich, who is
one of four lecturers for the inter.
national association of Lions clubs,
and who appeared before the local
club yesterday said in part:
The statement has recently been
made that the world was out of bal
ance economically. There never was
time when Europe was in greater
need of raw products from America
and the output OF our factories and
there never was a time when we
wanted to sell more than right now,
but Europe has no money and no
credit and cannot buy. The railroads
are getting the highest freight rates
and passenger fares they have ever
received and are losing the most
money and to raise fares and rates
higher would mean greater losses The
law of supply and demand has pas-
ed to function as far as the wages
of labor are concerned. Lemon grow
ers of California are uprooting their
orchards because they cannot market
their crops while lemons are retailing
at SOC and Coo a dozen on eastern
markets. The apple crop of Michigan
was not harvested last fall because
the growers could not realize the
labor cost while apples We're retail.
ing in Chicago at $500 per bushel. A
ship landed at Galveston last week
from foreign port, unloaded its
cargo and dismissed its crew as it
had no return load. Cattle men paid
ten cents a pound for feeders at Fort
Worth last spring, shipped the cattle
to their ranches, fed them several
months, shipped them back and re-
ceved cents.
How to Get Out
These conditions prevail throughout
the nation and it is not a question
of how did we get this way but how
and when are we going to get out We
will get out when we have more bust.
ness in politics and less politics in
and this cannot occur untn
business men throughout the country !
in every state, county and city, take
a greater interest in civic and polti- |
cal affairs.
A democracy is conceded to be the |
most inefficient form of government. |
We choose men for political office |
because Of their availability and not |
on account Of their fitness or eff. |
cheney. This condition makes it neces.
sary for the citizens Of this country
to take more interest in political and
civic affairs than the citizens of any
other country on the face of the earth.
Object Of Clubs
The object of these noon luncheon
clubs, such as the Lions club of Ard
more, is to awaken the civic pride Of
the business men who are members
and 10 get them to take a keener in
