Meet Local And State
Taxes Are From
Realty

From twO-thirds to four-fifths
Of all local and State revenues
in the United States are. derived
from taxation Of real estate.
A large part Of the base upon
which the Federal Inheritance,
Federal income and State in
heritance taxes are assessed is
also found in real estate.
The subject Of taxation is pos
sibly as little understood as any
other business problem in Amer
lean life today. It is difficult
for writer's who grasp the SUBJ
ject to reduce it to understand
able language. The average
citizen meekly pays his taxes
and wishes something could be
done to reduce the load.
But technical and involved as
is the subject, its Importance is
such that it will become better
understood and it is safe. to say
that the present movement to
reduce taxation, approved by the
National Association of Real
Estate Boards, will be a great
aid in convincing the general
public" that it Is practical to
> attempt to solve taxation diff
ficulties.

MUSIC NEEDED
FOR IDEAL
HOME
Photograph, Piano or Other
instrument Benefits Hearer,
Says Editor

Music in the home is restful,
not only to the tired business man
but to his whole family" says How
ard Bailey, manager of Music
Lovers. The addition of a phono
graph, player. piano or musical in
strument to the home furnishings
is essential for their comfort, hap
piness and appreciation, he says
adding:
''It is we'll known that music
quiets the nerves. There is
class of music for every mood
and temperament. For the
younger set who enjoy dancing,
there is the jazz music of correct
rhythm to try the latest dance
steps.
For those who enjoy singing
both the popular and classical
songs, another class of music is
needed. The masterpieces of
great composers are often sooth-
ing to those whS are worried
or tired after a days effort.
ITO the older generation, there
are songs which appeal to them
reproduced on the player piano
rolls and the photograph. Senti.
ment, inspiration and love are ex.
pressed in music. Some Of the.
greatest songs were inspired by
love, sorrow or some other tenn.
peramental state in which the
composer happened to be.
Music in the home Is delight
to the children, and not only
songs but exercises and an appre.
cation of art has been inculcated
In their minds through It."

Why Change Now

why should one change stceds to-
day? Why should the Republican
national administration, having re-
duced the public debt by several
billions, the public payroll by 100000
employees and the cast OF government
by couple of billion; why indeed
should not that work go on1
Why in Idaho, should the careful,
economical Republican administration
be changed? Why should a group of
men, who are serving the public well
by cutting taxes, be kicked out and
replaced by untried menu
Performance speaks louder than
promise or party pledge. By elec,ing
Governor Moore two years ago, the
Idaho voting public quite specifically
indicated what they wanted. The
things they elected Governor Moore
to do, have been done.
Why not re-elcct him and thereby
tell him that what Idaho wants and
needs is more of the same stuff?
