3-CENT LETTERS
 COMING BACK
Lawrence Says Republieian Chiefs Hope to Make Up Postal Deficit by Returning War Rates on Mail Mat ter.

(By David Lawrence. cor. of Arkan- saS Democrat)
 Washington. July 2S.--PrOgrams are like time tables. subject to change with out notice But certain principles have been agreed upon by President Hard ing and administra tion leaders which can be of some guidance to taxpayers. Those principles as explained at the White House do not necessarily com init the administration tG a eut-and- dried procedure which will prevent nothng is final until it is actually in change of mind In other words, fornothing is final until it is actually in the bill that passes both houses ; but so far as anyone can forsee ln- deed the bet judgment that can be marshalled at present leads to the following conclusions
 First. the excess-profits tax must he repealed. This action will be taken not merely because the revenue from excess profits has diminished to cuch Fan extent that it compares unfavor- ably with the immense amount of dam age done to business as whole through the restraints placed upon in- dividual enterprise, initiative and ex- pansion.

3-Cent Postage Favored.

Second the return to 5 cent post age for firstclass mail. This step IS to be taken reluctantly for the shrewd Albert Sidney Burleston, postmaster general under the Democratic admin instration. took off the extra cent and inc fear is that Democratic campaign orators VII point 10 the extra postage as q sign that the poor mans burdens have not been decreased but increased. Nevertheless, the 3 cent tax is favored as q great revenue producer and as the hest means of getting better postal service
 Will Hays. the new postmaster gen eral. is trying to produce an efficient nostal service and is making good head way. He finds it necessary to spend money to get efficiency. He has been told hy business men to go ahead and incur deficit but deliver the mails on lime. So the price of efficiency is an extra cent on postage. The gen eral opinion is that the stamp tax will hardly be felt.
 Third. cutting down of the large surtayes. The hardest thing Ill the world to explain to the average tax payer is the why and wherefore or the surtax. The income tax blanks give no inkling as to how the Seientlfic experts devised il and the taxpayer dosen't see any particular scheme ot percentages behind it. The large sur taxes have, however, operated like the excess profits taxes to destroy initiative at the very time when men of capital should be using it to promote American enterprises, giving employment to the unemployed and starting the wheels of business and industry on the road to sound and uninfiated prosperity. That there will be elimination of large surtaxes can be taken for granted

COW RACE

Fayetteville. August f.-EveryOne In Arkansas who is interested in good dairy cattle and high production will be glad to see the "cow race" to be held during the Farmers Short Course at the College of Agriculture. Univer- sity of Arkansas. Fayetteville, August 16 to 19 inclusive.
 Some of the best milk cows from the different herds in the state have been secured for the race and will be in a contest with each other. in which the amount feed consumed, the amount of milk produced. the test of the milk and the estimated number of pounds f butter fat will he posted at each cows stall during the entire week. The butter fat test will be conducted so all who attend the short course may see It on some one of the four days of the contest
 Good cows for milk production are worth while says Dean Bradford knapp of the College of Agriculture.

Sales Taxes May Go.

Fourth. all schemes for sales taxes turnover taxes, production taxes or consumers taxes, will go by the board. That's the trend at present, The ad- minisctration has listened to all the various plans proposed and attempted to find one that wouldn't increase the burden, on the ultimate consumer. The suspicion exists that the idea Is un- economic and leads in the end to dou- ble taxation. This is stoutly denied but the truth is that the administra- tion hasn't been convinced and the tendency is to forget these various sales and consumers taxes and try to raise money by other means.
 President Harding himself has told callers that he dosen't believe reiief from tax burdens can be accomplished by new devices, or rather, by new tax
The Nevada County picayune., 1921-08-04

proposals. but by a rigid cutting down on government expenditures. The big gest principle underlying the whole tax program is the battle ax applied to the expenditure column. By every dollar that the expense bill is dimin- ished, the amount that must be raised by taxation is reduced. Mir Harding insists that when all is said and done the best way to reduce taxes is for the government not to spend so much money. The drive for economy makes headway, for a little while, however, only to run up against some after the war snag or emergency situation like that involved n financing the railroads, or agriculture, or the Shipping Board, and the best laid plans go awry.
 In nutshell, tax revision this year will mean tax readjustment-a transfer of the burdens and more even distribution in the hope that business incentive will be restored. Lower taxes for the nation as whole are still in the realm of conjecture, but a encouragement of taxes may give business some measure of relief and permit expansion

 The owner of the car could not be learned last night The state license was 379S which is issued to J. X. In abnet. 2415 Johnson street. but em- ployes of the Lynn Bros. garage, who hauled the car to Little Rock, said the driver of the car declared he bouht it yesterday. According to the men who hauled the ear, the acci- dent was caused by the motor stopping on the hard pull up the hill.
 They said the brakes on the car were defective and the auto rolled backward over the embankment. They said the driver of the car pushed a child out and that one woman jumped out with a baby. Another woman and the driver went to the bottom of the embankment with the car, but were not injured, although the cars top was demolished.

A Great Succcss.

"Visit Your Laundry Week" was 9
grand success, and we wish to thank
every one Of our many visitors who
called during the week 1t was a
great pleasure to explain the details
Of our work to 80 many interested
visitors, who were previously at loss
to know how modern laundry is
operated. Every one that visited
had no word but praise for the
modern methods being used and the
excellent quality of work being done.
And while we expect to specialize on
visitors week once every year, we
want the good people of Emmett to
Know that they are welcome to visit
US at any time, and we will do our
very best to acquaint them with the
modern methods Of an nptodate laun-
dry. Some Of the improvements in
store for the people of our little city
during the coming year is a complete
and modern water softener for the
water we use in the washing of your
linens (Which contains a seven de-
gree hardness). This not only cheap
ems the cost of doing this work, but
it adds life to the garments it is
used on. The new method of drying
clothes, called the drying tumbler,
will be installed this coming year.
This drying system is known to
science as the most perfect disinfect-
ing method they have yet discovered,
owing to the fact that it is done en-
,lrely by heat draughts which are
tremendous, and we expect to apply
several new methods in the operation
# our growing institution. We wish
o again thank you for the wonderful
interest you have shown in our work
md furthermore for the fact that
'ou have made US what we are.
Yours for better sanitation,
