William Severe's Residence
Burns, Wednesday Sept. 3

William Severe's residence, mile
and ah alf north of Oakley, burned
down Wednesday morning. A near
by hay crew rushed to the scene and
saved most of the furniture and
household goods and some canned
fruit, but there was no water avail
able for extinguishing the flames.
1t is reported thta there is insurance
covering part of the loss.
The fire is said to have been
caused by defective chimney in the
kitchen. Mrs. Severe found the kit
chen on fire when she returned from
an errand.
The Oakley fire siren sounded and
within a few moments there was a
line of cars parked along the street
facing the house. However, nothing
could be done.
This is a heavy loss to Mr.. and
Mrs. Severe and emphasizes the need
for more adequate fire insurance
on farm property. Most business
property is insured, although the
percentage of cost is much greater
than it is for farm property.
Mr.. and Mrs Severe will move to
G house in Oakley.

Oakley Village Division
Minidoka Nat. Forest
Needs Ranger Station

The feeling prevails that the new
Oakley Village division" of Mini
doka national forest should have ,
ranger station. The weeds along
Main street will soon be big enough
10 make good fence posts.
1t is said these weed jungles
would provide good hunting were
they not so. dense. AS it is, there is
too much danger that hunters would
get lost. Indian guides should be
available. If reliable guides were
provided. Oakley might be able to
attract large numbers of sportsmen.

NOT WANTED"

Strange. isn't it, that Grover Cleve-
 land Bergdoll, who is wanted" in this country, not because of any great longing for his charming society at our friendly gatherings. but for quite different reason, is not wanted in Germany? Now we had supposed that there among his friends he would
 find great popularity. They could
 cluster about him and perhaps kiss his hand. The fair maidens of the country would lionize him and fall at his feet in adoration. This is as we supposed it would be.
 But the news comes from Mosbaeh. Baden, that members of the German government and others do not, as a matter of fact, want the young man in their midst. They would actually be pleased to see him pick up his many trunks-we suppose he has many and take little trip. It is intimated, even, that they would not care a great deal where he went as long as he went, Now isn't that a peculiar sit nation? We'll we would inform the gentleman of Germany that Grover would find a cordial welcome in these United States of ours. There might be an escort at the pier to greet him and to take his hand--not to keep, exactly, although there might even be feel. ing that such souvenir would be in- tercsting. But he would be welcomed here, at any rate,
 There would seem to'be bit Of moral to adorn the tale if it needs adornment. Grover Cleveland Berg doll was not popular here after his heart was barred, Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is not popular in Germany. Well, it is quite possible that Grover Cleveland Bergdoll and others like him, would be popular in no place upon tho surface Of the earth. and we have a faint suspicion that he would not be popular in the place to which, in thought many a man who riskcd 1 his life in loyalty has consigned him. 1

that no substantial revenue would re- suit
 This is the fallacy of the whole argument. Practically no -unquestion- ed luxury, no pleasure. no article, no excessively expensive aid to enjoyment of life would be given up by those who enjoy such luxury because of tax put upon it to pay the bonus or for that matter, to pay any other govern ment expense. To enter the Journals own field of thought. how many wealthy people have given up drink ing liquor merely because the price of it has doubled, tripled or quadrupled? !? Some have stopped buying it, perhaps because of conscientious scruples; perhaps because they fear the poison it may contain. But it is safe to say that few have ceased purchasing it merely because of its excessive cost. It, to them, is a luxury that they feel is a necessity to the real enjoyment of life. The will get it, that's all even if it is not Wilson.
 No matter how limited is the class of taxable luxuries,-granting that there is a class of unquestioned luXur- ies-the loss of revenue from a tax upon them. no matter how high, re- sulting from that tax. would be negli- gible. An from such tax the bonus payments could be made.
New Britain herald., 1924-01-19
TAX ON LJXIRIES

Unless we fail completely to catch
 the point Of the editorial in the New
 Haven, Journal Courier, with which
 publication the Herald agrees in so
 many matters, that newspapers ob-
 jection to Senator McLean's sugges-
 ton to pay the bonus out Of a luxury
 tax rests solely upon the difficulty of
 determining what is a luxury. and
 upon the assumption that heavily
 taxed luxury would be given up by those who indulged in it the moment it became thus heavily taxed. with the result that there would be little revenue from such tax.
 Without asserting unqualified ad- vocacy Of the plan or Senator Mclean, one may still meet these objections to it. 'If the luxuries could be detected and classified" says the Journal Courier edltorially, and the tax laid promising the billions wanted for the bonus. there would always be the danger Of that indulgence being given up. etc" The editorial states that Ford car may not be luxury. "Is it possible to exclude the Ford car from the luxury class. and 10 include all other cars because their prices place them beyond the use Of eyeryone?" is the Journals question. And it suggests that a coal bin large enough to hold the winters supply may be considered a luxury by persons who buy coal by the basketful
 Perhaps fl may be granted that there are certain things which may be classified as Iuxuries without question. Ii would seem that there is TO necessity for making an arbitrary line in the size Of coals bins. Tn the matter Of cars it is, of course. the use to which they are put rather than their cost which puts them in or takes them out Of the luxury class. So in the com mOnly used articles of merchandise. :! Certainly it would be possible to draw 3 line between necessities and iuxuries. ! if it be made libtIally. to which there l can be no objection. This Of course. | would result in the arbitrarily declar- l ing Of very few articles 10 Dc luxuries. 1 Grant this. And this being granted. the other objection would be pressed. namely that if few articles were to te called taxable luxuries. all the more reason for believing that their use ? oUld be abandoned with the result 1

OFFICIAL COOPERATION

1 Recently the Herald emphasized the fact that city departments were to be
 commended for saving money and moi
 using their full appropriations, no,
 only because this practice showed
 economy in the management of the department itself, but also because
 this money saved often was trans ferred to another department toward
 the end of the fiscal year to make up deficit in that department. In
 other words departments should CO.,
 operate in financial matters, and any
 department able to save for the sake
 of another department should receive
 the full credit for the help it gives that
 other department. Cooperation among
 the departments was suggested. All
 work for the city, within the depart
 ment itself and also with a view to
 helping the city outside it's own juris- diction by helping another department of the city.
 Mayor Paonessa has carried this idea a step further with a suggestion that is sound, at least in theory. If 1t can be made to work in practice it should be adopted immediately. The result would be that the employees and heads of all departments would be in- terested in the work of other depart ments as well, and the people of the city would receive inestimable bene- fits.
 This suggestion was in the news columns Of this paper recently. The mayor proposes that that bi-weekly meeting of the representatives of the health, water. police, fire and build- ing departments be held for general discussion of conditions they find about the city. The representative of the board Of public works should be included, or course, as was probably intended At these meetings these city employes, all of whom want to see the city made as fine a place as possible. would report the things they notice that need attention. With full and willingness to fol- low mp the tips given at such meet ings, prompt rectifying Of improper would follow. At such there would appear a prac- tical picture Of the city as it Is, and suggestions would be made which would result in its being more nearly i IS it should be. Sometimes one has to pass the buck" because taking 1 sare of the buck is not the business i 1f the ohe who secs that if needs care. l At such meetings the buck would be l passed, of course. but the beauty of 1 t is that it would rest finally where it | and it would be passed on no longer.
 The suggestion is a splendid one | md is in line with the theory of CO., operation in all things, which theory, put in practice. accomplishes the best . -esults in every line of human en- ieavor.
