A Billion A Year

Although many Americans are care
less. thoughtless and improvident. 9C
per cent are honest and only 10 per
cent dishonest From this dishonest
10 per cent come mail fraud schemes
that annually take billion dollars
from a million Americans. Horace J.
Donnelly, Assistant Solicitor OF the
Post Office Department told of these
schemes before the recent annual con-
vention OF the Investment Bankers
Association of America. Fake farm
lands. fake college degrees, fake An
CORA cats. fake medicine, fake mer-
chandise, fake securities and even fake
whisky were some of TIE fakes men
toned by Mr.. Donnelly.
There is no honest human endeavor
in business. religion, education, poll
tics, science or art that some fraud
does not attempt to pervert to his own
evil purpose Victims are led on by
the eternal misbelief that you can get
something for nothing. Mr.. Donnel-
ly's example of fake whisky sale told
how an American sent SIS to Canada
for what was represented to him as.
Twelve quarts OF pure Canadian rye.
the beverage of our grandfathers. &"
The American received twelve quarts
of roasted rye, which in pioneer days
was a substitute for coffee.
There is little excuse for anyone of
common sense buying fake farm land.
fake merchandise, fake medicine or
fake securities All he has to do is
to remember that you don't get some
thing for nothing and that you must
deal only with honest persons. This
should not be difficult, since 90 per
cent of the people are honest. Ii is.
however. more difficult to separate the
competent from the incompetent, but
II is essential. Only by dealing with
an honest. competent person, be he
garage man or banker, or merchant.
can you get fail value for your money.
1t is well to remember that persis-
family and consistently advertised
goods are honest goods and tina, they
are backed by honest companies and
honest individuals.

County Taxes

The Tribune has been waiting pa
tiently for week for The Free Press
10 print a comparative statement OF
1922 and 1928 county and state taxes
Saturday, The Free Press grabbed
hook, line and sinker. After making
a few nasty remarks about The Trib-
une with a thinly yelled inference that
The Tribune is a liar, the Free Press.
in parallel columns. prints the two
tax statements.
But The Free Press wisely refrain
ed from Analysing them. 1t shouted
a LOT about the county school levy and
the warrant redemption levy and then.
presuming that 4 case had been made.
printed the tax statement.
The public can be hoodwinked but
it is not crazy. Once more we invite
The Free Press to show us where any
reduction has been made in the county
tax levy. And. generously enough.
The Tribune stands willing that The
Free Press ignore this years 10 mill
warrant redemption levy and the mill
levy for that purpose of last wear. Do
your best.
Go farther than that. If you like.
Cut out the state tax OF the two years.
remove the school levy that The Free
Press tells about in such excitablc
terms. pare the thing down until it
involves nothing but current county
operating levies. And this is the way
II will ioOk.

Q. Did Abraham Lincoln deliver
his Gettysburg address extemporan-
eously? If not, is there evidence show
ing as to how and when il was pre-
pared?
A. The original manuscript OF Lin
coins famous Gettysburg address has
been photographed and republished
many times. The first sheet OF it in
Lincoln's handwriting was written on
n White House letterhead. 1t appears
somewhat different form the second
page inasmuch os it was written in
ink. The second sheet. containing ten
lines appears somewhat different in
the reproduction owing to the fact that
it was written with a pencil. John G.
Nicolay. the faithful secretary and BIZ
ographer OF Lincoln, has definately
settled the oft-repcated questions
about the Gettysburg speech He
shows that the principal part of it was
written at the White House. but when
at Gettysburg. on the morning of the
ceremony. Lincoln finished his manu-
script. and made some corrections in it
at the home of Judge Willis. There
is no truth. in the opinion of those
who have investigated. in the story
any part of the manuscript was writ
ten on the train Ell route to. Gettys-
burg.

After all. this talk on taxes is
largely harping on the wrong key
Taxes are not paid in mills. On the
contrary. honest to goodness dollars
must be dug up. And the big thing
is that this year more dollars are
necessary than have ever been re-
quircd in Canyon county before.
Mills mean little but dollars certain
iy have a message all their own.
