Lowden Warns Extravaganza L
Ex-Governor Of Illinois De-
IareS Taxes Dangerously
Near ConfiScation,
BUREAUCRATS SCORED
Speaker Also Hits Public
Agencies Having Power
to Levy Tribute,
By United Press

By United Press
a TLANTA, Ga, June To-
~ Government extravaganza
threatens to. undermine the ma
tional structure, Ex-Governor
Frank 0. Lowden, Illinois, told
the National Association of
Credit Men s convention Friday.
He declared taxation is increas-
ing faster than wealth.
Quoting the constitution at the out
set of his speech, Lowden. charged
in spite of the limits imposed in the
document, the national wealth was
being absorbed by taxation, and pre-
dicted the downfall of Government If
reckless expenditures were not cur
tailed.
A prolific cause Of the rapidly in
Creasing cost of Government"
Lowden said is the number of pub
lie agencies having the power to levy
taxes. When all of these taxes are
tstalled they dangerously approach
the line of confscation."
To check this growing ex.
travagance on the part Of the Gov
eminent" Lowden urged municipal
tiles and States provide for their own
needs and leave the Government the
task Of caring for genuinely National
needs.
'Encroachment upon the authority
Of State officials by the horde Of
hurea ucrats-an outgrowth Of Govern
mental extravaganza - threatens
break down in the local self govern
ment of America" he declared.
IF the present tendency of St2tes
to seek Federal aid and 70 mend the
Constitution is left unchecked. States
will soon become mere satraps with
all their powers issuing from Wah-
ngton."

Fools

BY BERTON BRALEY
The wise said. Why the world is fiat!
Our fathers fathers have taught us that
And all experience goes to show
That what our fathers have said is so.
It's only fools who would dare alege
That one could sail DER the oceans edge"
But the fools-the foos!-let the toxin sound it
Sailed to the blue skys edge-and round it,
The wise men said ut is all a dream,
That anything be done with steam"
The wise men said Hes fool for fair
Who thinks ever shall ride the air
But the fools believed, and the fools held true
To their foolishness, till they saw it through;
And fool must follow his natural bent
So now swoop through the armament
The fools, the fools! how they loom in sight
Gallileo Columbus, Wright.

Conquering nature, chartng spheres!
And ever the wise men-learning naught,
In the teeth of all of the creeds and schools
Man is led to the heights-by Fools!

What is the crying need Of Sho-
shone?
At the last meeting Of Shoskdese
Study club on December 28th, the
above question was a prominent part
OF the program. The committee in
charge having brought before the
club the. opinions of thirty persons
interviewed, found the consensus of
needs to be one of civic improvement
in all cases.
A community building, a more ca
pacious library. park, a swimming
pool, a skating pond and various
other needs were cited. However, the
keynote Of Shoshone's greatest need
was most forcibly brought out in the
following analysis: A spirit of pro-
ton between the men and women of
Shoshone in all matters of public in
terest. The laying aside of petty
business and social jealousies, and
sincere and honest effort to work in
unison.
I'VE did this in the various drives
during the war and could carry on
in the same spirit again for the gem
eraf good of Shoshone. The attain
ment of our greatest need can only
be made possible through our efforts
if concentrated and directed into one
channel.
Owing to the inclement weather of
Thursday aftersoon, mapy members.
were absent and missed a splendid
program.
Roll Cali was answered by current
events Public Utilities of shoshone"
was discussed by Mrs. R. s. Withrow.
Mrs Frank Millsaps gave an ex-
planatory talk on the eInitfative, the
Referendum and the RecaIr' A vio-
lin solo was given by Miss Nina New
man.
The next club meeting will be Janu-
ary 11th, with the Art and Drama
committee in charge. Meetings are
called to order promptly at three
o'clock.
