culosis are without proper care or
disqualification in the state Of New
York, according to William F. Dee
gan, commander of the New York

through legion posts of the state.

The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-10-07

Following its announcement that
5,735,000 persons were out of employ
ment and supplying the figures ap.
parently to justify the statement, the
Department of Labor is now busy
trying to explain that there cannot
possibly be that many persons out of
work, principally because persons en-
ployed during the war in war work
and now without an occupation could
not be properly classed as persons
subject to employment. Secretary
Davis also finds consolation in the
statement that there are 12,00O,O0U
who are still at work.
As an evidence that the unemployed
ere being absorbed by industry, he
says:
"But one must have his head very
much in the air these days not to no.
tice the growing prevalence Of silk
hosiery and the use of silks in gen.
eral."
The fact remains that idle men are
offering to sell themselves into en-
ployment for board and lodging as
slaves were sold on the auction block
while others are being chased from
the benches in public parks which they
had preemptied as beds.
The fiippant remark of the Secre-
tary about the prevalence of silk hos
iery could not have been inspired by
these pathetic scenes.
The business of the Department of
Labor is to give facts and figures
concerning employment and unem-
ployment without exaggeration and
certainly not to confuse the public
with explanations or even apologies
that have no relevancy to actual con-
ditions.
Everyone without regard to party is
DESTROYS of relieving deplorable un-
employment conditions and the best
way to do so is first to know the ac-
tual facts and then face them cour-
ageously and sensibly.
A Department of Labor that guess
es at OR juggles statistics relating to
labor or attempts to conceal the facts
is worse than useless. and is obstruc-
tive to proper remedial measures.

HOW MANY TREES A DAY
DOES THE PUBLIC READ?

The paper you are reading was once
tree. This newspaper is printed on
what is commonly called newsprint
and it is made from pulpwood.
The annual consumption is two mil
lion tons of newsprint a year, accord
ing to the American Forestry Asso-
citation, and that means a strip of pa
per as wide as the regulation news
paper and about forty million miles
long; half the distance of the sun,
which is ninety-two million miles
away. The annual consumption would
make two-foot wide ribbon of news
paper around the world 1900 times.
Some trees!
More than one-third of. our pulp
wood comes from across the Canadian
border, and Canada, profiting by our
mistakes, is now taking steps to for
bid the cutting of timber at a rate
more rapid than its growth. That
means primarily that our annual i'm
portation of Canadian pulpwood has
practically reachede the maximum,
and for the other two-thirds at least
we will have to look after ourselves.
paper Week" will be the week be-
ginning October 81. with Thursday,
November 3rd, as the date of the
meetings of the American association
itself. The National Paper Trade AS
ISOLATION has announced October 81 as
the date of the meeting of the mer-
chants and distributors, while the bal
ance of the week will be devoted to
meetings of the affiliated association,
most of which, like that of the Nation
al Paper Trade Association, and the
American Paper and Pulp Association,
will be held in Chicago.

pointed out, as the author of the res
olution providing for the Disarma-
ment conference. was entitled by all
rules of courtesy and by precedent to
an appointment on the American dele
cation. In addition to this he has
been the foremost and most eloquent
advocate of the limitation of arma-
ments, and no one questions his sin
certify.
Fortunately, the criticism of Pres
ident Harding's War College speech,
which was construed in many quarters
as Backing water" on the main prop
osition, has had the effect of arousing
and crystallizing public sentiment to
the point of insisting that the main
purpose of the Conference.-The limit
alton of armaments-shall not be SUBJ
merged The intelligence of this ma
ton and of Europe without regard to
party or other creeGs has worked per-
sistently for the limitation of arma-
ments ever since the armistice, not on
ly from the ideaistic view of lessening
the probability Of war but because it
was recognized that the continued
maintenance of huge ornaments
would bankrupt every nation in the
world. There is no party politics in
the question of disarmament and so
far as the Democrats are concerned
there will be no politics in the dis
armament conference. The Democrats
will work to the limit to make it a sue
cess.
With sincere friends of the cause
like Senator Underwood and Secretary
Hughes as members of the conference,
reinforced by an awakened public SEN
timent, there is assurance that the
main purpose of the conference will
not be submerged and there is re-
newed hope for practical results.

Untaxing the Rich; Overtaxing the
Poor,

When the tax bill passed the House
fifty Republicans voted with the
Democrats to recommit the bill for
revision. Here are the reasons as
given by two Western Representa-.
tives:
From speech of Representative
Schall (Rep., Mimi:
"The test should be, ability to bear
the burden. The man who is able
should pay. The man who has prof
tied most should hand over in pro-
portion. Spending should not be the
basis for tax. Earnings are the only
just basis. The present tax bill is
fashioned to lay the heaviest burden
on the backs of those least able to
bear it. Think of the number of new
millionaires, those who stayed at home
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-10-07

alton is of piece with problem
that touches our whole economic life,
for, without forest products, business
cannot go on. We sight our end Of it
to show the tremendous consumption
of trees going on every day, to say
nothing of loss by fires that sweep
the forest areas. The American For
estry Association is campaigning for
forest policy legislation. Every pub
Usher in the country should be behind
this campaign.

and profteered. Think of the profits
so, 100, yea, even 1000 per cent
made at the cost of our necessity, at
the price of our boys blood and agony,
and now, forsooth, the surtax, the ex-
cess profits tax. must be cut down.
~ shall vote to recommit the bill.
with instructions to report it back,
minus the repeal of surtaxes.
"The tax should be made enforce
able A definite and certain per cent
should be laid upon income and excess
profits. Aolish nontaxable
securities. Force the money out of its
hiding place. Place the burden of tax
where it belongs. This is what should
have been done.
"The test of the iniquity of this bill
is that the tax on tie pay envelop is
raised from 20 per cent to over 80 per
cent, while tie surtaX is reduced from
So per cent to 32 per cent, and the
excess profits tax is abolished alto
gether. The principle CT progressive
tax was right, produced goodly reve-
nue., even with the taxdodging. Why
yield to political expediency and abol-
ish it? cannot see wherein any such
action is defensible. One more argu-
ment has been handed to the Demo
Gratis on a silver platter. The level of
constructive craftsmanship is very low
when it passes out bill like this for
the relief of the country"
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-10-07

has money, but won't turn it loose.
How about you? If we want business
to be "fine," just quit spending money
for anything. whether needed or not.
Pretty soon we will notice that the
nasty black smoke" has ceased to
float high over the factory stacks, and
that the fellows who used to come and
go, back and forward in droves. to the
factory; and who used to come to
town Saturday night and elbow" the
family to an ice cream soda, or, may
be, new dress for ma, or a pair of
shoes for the baby, don't do it any
more. Why? Why, somebody hid
the thimble; somebody is Squeezing
the dollar"
Now money, you know, is part rub
Der. And the harder you squeeze it
the smaller it gets-just like rubber.
A few hundred thousand foolishly
wise" people who are very "econonl-
ical", have decided in their empty
pates that "times are going to be
hard, and III keep my cash handy, in
case need it." Are you one of these?
Money was made to spend. Now,
some tightwad will rise up in his
mite" and denounce me. But if mon
ey was not made to spend, what was
it made for? You can't eat it. You
can't take it with you when you die.
You can't wear it.
A dollar turned into legitimate chan
nels of trade will pay five dollars
worth Of debts every twenty-four
hours of the time it is loose. Turn
'em loose. When the merchant sells
the goods, the factory is making them.
When the factory is making lots of
goods. the man who has the raw ma
terial, wool, cotton, timber. wheat and
corn, is supplying the product in the
raw state. When everybody is selling
what he has, be it material or labor,
why, bless his heart. business is good.
Does it begin to sink in that this
tight wad" stuff is all bunk? I'll
say it is.
The. champion hard times story is
the story of Joseph. Seven years be-
fore it came to pass the prophets be-
gan to predict "hard times" No
doubt the farmers, fearing they
would not get over thirty cents for
their corn next fall" didn't plant
much, some of them, maybe, didn't
plant any. They kept this up for the
whole seven years, and presto, they
woke up one fine morning late, after
the factory whistle had failed to blow.
Hard times" had actually arrived.
You nearly always find what you look
for-if you look long enough, and
work the way you look-and wait.
Not for worlds would detract from
the fame of Joseph; but, believe me;
Joseph had lot of able assistance
nearly everybody helped. by hand ano
mouth, to bring on the "hard times"
We still have some of that sort of
helpers, in fact quite few of them.
Joseph was wise, truly wise; for he
knew-and it is more than our pres
ent day "wise" men know that if
everybody and his uncle kept talking
for hard times, and loafed for about
seven years, that some time before
long, times would be hard. 1t is the
same today.
We-have it in Holy Writ-and be-
. lieve it all--that God never failed to
stay by folks that stayed by Him.
Flowers will grow for those who
plant and tend them; but no gerani-
ums grow for the hard times shouters.
Their dull ears and heavy hearts are
attuned to sad and solemn melodies,
and their unhearing ears cannot dis
tinguish any tune but dirge.

THIMBLE, THIMBLE

There used to be very popular
game called Thimble, Thimble, the
motif being to hide thimble some.

sort of game-innocent as it was sill.

Take look at the last half dozer

alarming differences as to the amount
Of deposits that were there a year age

Speaking broadly. the dollar yor

you handle only half as many dollars
