The Welfare Fund

Though the period fixed for the welfare drive is
ended the work Of the Welfare League in connection
with it is not finished and will not be until the
amount OF money which the league set out to secure
has been subscribed. That it not secured during
the drive is because OF lack of workers. In con-
sequence a large number of firms not at
all and altogether there remain in the hands of the
league whose purpose is to meet and relieve suffer-
persons who were not called upon. So the work Of
+ the league will not be completed until all these per-
sons and firms have been interviewed.
For the most part response to the calls Of solicit
ors for the league was generous and prompt but in

Some JuquIed Figures

We have received from philadelphia concern
lot Of literature against the Muscle Shoals propo-
sition of Henry Ford. The figures are so juggled
that if the showing thereby made nearly accurate,
the proposal by Secretary Weeks to consider
the proposition would indicate weakness and
total lack of comprehension. For instance this
Philadelphia would have us believe that the
proposal Of Mr. Ford amounts to asking for gov
ernment subsidy amounting to almost one billion
dollars in 100 years
We notice though an entire disregard OF Mr.
Fords plan for the financing of the enterprise But
a flood of light is thrown upon the opposition when
it is learned that it from the National Fertl
izer company which frankly adds that it opposes
either government, operation government subsi-
died operation IN COMPETITION WITH THE EX-
IsT1NG FERTILIZER INDUSTRY" We have no
doubt that the power would join in opposition
though do not think it would stand sponsor for
the figures Of the National Fertilizer company, or
would employ the frankness Of objection.
The fertilizer business it is organized is
monopoly and is destined to become much more
profitable the demand for its products in
as it has been increasing for the last fifty
years. Farmers are helpless against it. The de-
veloped Muscle Shoals project would be the end of
it. 1t would also break the back OF the power
in the south.
Both these private industries would be equally
adverse to the government development and opera
tion of the project And after ALL that is what Mr..
Fords plan amounts to-plus the lending of his
genius to assist the government in the enterprise
Under his plan the property would never be-
the private property of Henry Ford, nor would
1t operated for his sole benefit. But for 100 years
it would pass into the hands any private cor
Doration to be operated for its benefit and to the
perpetual disadvantage Of the people.

LARDNER WEEKLY LETTEI
ANOTHER JOKE ON THE TAXPAYERS

To the Editor:
Well friends, ! suppose you have
noticed how much cheaper it is to
live since the 1st. of the yr. on acct.
Of the govt. takeing off the tax on
all the different luxurys and etc. and
it is now 3 wks. since the big reduc-
tion and they has been time enough
under the new scale of prices so as a
person can figure out what amount of
money they are going to he able TO
save by same. Well friends l can't
speak for nobody only myself, but
from what l can judge so far would
estimate that in a years time the re-
duced schedule will enable me to lay
aside somewhercs between IS and
20 cts.
1t was dureing the holidays that the
details about this generous action Of
the govt. was printed in the papers
and I remember one thing it said was
that on acct Of they being about 100
million people in the u. S. and the re-
duction in taxes was going to amount
to 700 million dollars, why therefore
everybody in the country would be
500 to the good. I was not amongst
those that thought maybe they would
send a man around TO ask us if we
wanted the $500 in large or small
bills, but l did expect to notice a
slight change for the better in re-
CARDS to the price OF different articles
which a man buys to enjoy life. That
is, till a few days ago when ! seen
a. printed list of some of the articles
which the govt. pronounced tax free.
Item No. / was soda water which
am told they has ben a. 10 per cent
tax on same for several yrs. but
which they have now took the tax off
same. Well friends they could plaster
g. tax of $4,000 a drink on this lucios
beverage without hearing squawk
from me. The 2 easiest habits l ever
swore off was soda water and cubebs
and after a man gets past 30 yrs. old
the bear mention of either one is libel
to upset the stomach and bring spots
in front of the eyes.
a POOR SELECTION
The next item come acrost was
eye glasses and it said they had been
taxed 5 per cent but now you could
get them at the old time prices. Well
[ suppose when this become known
they was a wild rush of eye glass
fanciers TO the google district but
personly my visual orbs retain their
boyish vim though the ear lobes and
nasal appendage may be the worst
for wear.
Well, amongst the other items that
the taxes was loped off Of was UNI
brellas costing over s4.00. fans costing
over S100 and house coats or smoke
ing jackets over $1,000.
Well friends am glad to say that |
come from family that knowed
enough to stay in out Of the rain and
don't ned no umbrellas but even if
they was a law that everybody had to
own one 1t would take a wonderful
salesman to make me invest as high
as $400 in same and as for fans
they's always a breeze on Long Is
land, and if they wasn't we would try
and manage to stir one up with
good old fashion palm leaf. AS far s
smokeine jackets or house coats is
conserved / would like 10 catch

any such sum as $1,000 on a garment

Well another item was thester tick
cts and when / seen that one l says
here is where a person may be able
to save a few dollars, but reading on
further you come TO where II said
that the tax was only off free ad-
missions or admissions OF 10 cts. and
less. I don't know how conditions is
around other parts of the country, but
here in Great Neck the only shows
that you can get into for 10 cts. and
less is mystery shows. The mystery
is where are they.
But how about the reduction in r..
r. fares ana Pullman tickets? Wen
friends / only expect TO make one trip
this yr. and the tickets for same was
boughten in December before the tax
was took off. According to the eX-
perts the govt. will pay me back the
differents if l write and ask them for
same but l have heard about other
people who the govt. owed them
money and when they got 1t they was
so old that the shock killed them.
GRIM HUMOR
All and all judgeing from the items
that was printed in the list l seen,
why it looks like the treasury dept.
has got it in for me personly as they's
nothing which they have took the tax
off which ! have got any use for
though OF course they WASH room IN

Some Suggestions for Coin Designs
(The government is to mint a new
dollar upon which the design shows
the American eagle over a broken
sword and an olive branch. Despite
the criticism of many artists that a
broken sword always symbolizes de-
feat and has no place on dn Amer
ican coin, the design is supposed to
symbolic American leadership in dis
armament.)
Cuckoo perched on a broken chain
arm clutching at a city map of Ma
rion, Ohio. The broken chair sym
bolizes a one-armed lunchroom, the
map of Marion is a reference to
President Harding, and the cuckoo
typifies the American public. The
whole thing symbolizes a protest
against restaurant coffee and the Re-
publican party's pledge to reduce the
high cost of eating.

ator is trying to get away from him..
The woodpecker symbolizes the
spirit of world democracy as seen by
Woodrow Wilson. The senator's head
symbolizes the senator's head. The
asparagus symbolizes Article X to
the woodpecker. but the senator
thinks it is part of his beard. The
whole thing symbolizes the triumph
