IBy Evening News Correspondent. ]

ball having been almost torn out of
the socket.
Dugan is an employe of the New
York Telephone Company, doing
delicate and technical installation
work. For weeks prior to his acci-
dent he had been attending an adj
vanced school in New York City for

tion along technical lines. The ac-
cidenI which resulted in such seri-
Gus injuries to his eve came while
in discharge of his duties. Dugan
was making a telephone extension
In Perth Amboy and in the course
of the work found it necessary to
bear heavily on a screwdriver he
was using to insert a screw. The
screwdriver. not catching a firm hold
in the groove of the screw head, is
said to have slipped and the force
of his weight diverted it directly in
to-his eye. Medical aid was sum-
moned and he was taken to the hos
pital, where it was found that the
Injured eye would have to be re-
moved. This operation has been
successfully accomplished and Dugan
is slowly regaining his lost strength.
Dugan was in the telephone bat
talon of the army during the World
War, being one of the first to go
from this city. He was through the
st. Mihiel drive. the Argonne and
other important engagements, pre-
pairing the roads for advancement

without a scratch. He was one of
the few local men who were up in
Germany as member of the army
of occupation.
He Is popular both In this city and
Perth Amboy and daily letters of
sympathy are received by the young
man and by various members of his
family.

Interesting Statement Issued By
Secretary On "Why Was Wage
Cut Accepted Without Arbitration ?"

Ever since the word went forth
that the employees of the great meat
packing plants had accepted a cut in
wages speculation has been rife among
organized workers as 10 "Why was
the wage cut accepted without arbi
5ration?" The answer is made plain
why this was done in the following
statement issued by Secretary Lane,
of the Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's Union:
Chicago, H., March %, 1921.
To the Officers and Members of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of n. A.

And noY, Mr.. Common Man, what
do you suppose our Millionaire
Masters are planning to do to us
rext?
They are going TO make the COM
mon folks pay: () the running ex-
penses of government; (2) the inter
est on the Liberty" bonds; and (3)
enough more to create a sinking fund,
which in time will pay off the entire
war debt
The crushing weight of the total
burden may not be imposed at one
time. Our masters will gauge it with
nice judgment up to the limit of your
capacity to carry the burden year by
year.
Their plan is very simple one:
First, they will REPEAL THE EX-
CESS PROFITS TAX and the TAX
ON LARGE INCOMES. The evasion
Of these taxes by the rich amounts to
an enormous sum; but it was quite
impossible to so frame the law as to
let them escape altogether and they
are now caught to the extent of about
a billion dollars annually. The mil
lionaires don't like this and are plan
ming to repeal these obnoxious laws.
Second, they will pass law, taxing
all sales. This law will impose tax
on everything we EAT, WEAR AND
USE.
Our masters estimate that this tax
will take out of the common people,
from one billion to five billion dollars
annually, depending on the rate and
the method of imposing the tax.
No one can escape tax on sales.
1t is tax on life. Each human be-
ing must have food, clothing, shelter,
fuel. You will pay a tax every time

There was fairly good representa-
ton OF the taxpayers Of School District
No. at the special school meeting held
in council chambers on last Thursday
afternoon. The matter Of adopting the
budget for the coming year was the
important business at hand. This was
read over, item by item, and upon sew
eral points there was discussion. No
one seemed to be radically inclined.
however, and there was no move to
make any deep cuts in the schedules.
On the point of teachers salaries, there
was an expression to the effect that
there should be some trimming there,
and that part Of the budget was re-
dueed in the sum OF 1900. Another
item proposed was $4,000, to cover in
debtedness due. Upon being informed
that the parties interested were willing
that this should be extended over a
period Of a couple Of years, a cut was
made here Of $4,000, making the total
reduction in the budget $4,000. Under
the valuation for this year 1t will re-
quire a levy of twenty and two-tenths
mills to raise the sum Of $4,000 re-
quired to be raised by taxation, and
this comes under the levy for the past
year, which was twenty-five and three
tenths mills.

His funeral was held at the Federat-

County Budget Is Voted as.
Prepared by the Committee

1t took two days Of quite lively dis
cussion to get through with the work
of passing on the county budget There
was fine attendance of interested tax
payers at the county court room both
Thursday and Friday of last week.
when the budget was up for considera-
tion, and Judge Campbell expressed
himself as delighted that so many came
in and took part in the deliberations.
Two items in the budget were the
main points OF attack. These were the
allowance for the support OF the coun-
ty agent, and the sum to be raised this
year to go into the sinking fund for
retiring bonds. There were those who
thought the Office of county agent
should be abolished entirely, and they
put up their arguments to this effect;
and others thought that the sinking
fund item could just as well go over
for another year, However, after 60
ing into the matter thoroughly and
getting the facts from both sides, these
items were not changed, and the budget
was finally adopted as prepared by the
committee.

Commissioner Barratt returned home
on Sunday afternoon from his visit to
Omaha, where he attended a meeting
OF highway commissioners and engin-
eers from over the entire country.
While It was a very good meeting and
Mr.. Barratt enjoyed much that was In
structive, he found that those matters
stressed the most, pertaining to high
way construction, were the things that
Oregon has been putting into practice
and it was revealed that our own state
was far ahead of others in the Union in
the matter Of permanent road construc-
tion and this construction has been had
at much less cost than that paid in
the other states. While absent, Nj .
Barratt visited with brother living in
Iowa. He found weather conditions
east Of the Rockies much the same as
it is here, but reports financial matters
much worse, The farmers Of Iowa
have two crops Of corn on hand, with
no market and much Of this will be an
entire loss as there is no stock to feed
It to. Hogs were quite plentiful but
there was no feeding Of cattle. And a
lot Of this corn might have been sold
at one time at $3.50 per bushel
