HENRY FORD DENOUNCES
POLITICIANS FOR
HIGH TAXES
Says They Indirectly Make A
Burden For The Poor

Statements by Henry Ford on the
tax evil appeared in the New York
Tribune last Monday which were
taken from an interview with the
famous auto M nufacturer by
Samuel Crowther. The interview in
full, according to the Tribune, is
to APPEAR in an early issue of Col
lier's. Some of Mr. Ford's state
ments are as follows:
Put Burdens on the Poor
High taxes on the rich do not
take burdens off the poor" Mr..
Ford told his interviewer. "They
put burdens on the poor. AS far as
our company is concerned, we can
go on about as we are now,
whether the surtax be 25 or so
per cent. We can make some inn
provements, but we cannot do the
great things we should do had we
more money.
ave all have to pay some taxes,
but the greater part of what we
pay ought to go for productive
purposes-for good roads, for
schools, for better health and all
those things which make life
easier. But we ought to pay as
we go and not attempt to have
things we cannot afford to have.
We could afford to have a great
deal more than we now have and
pay out less money. That we can
do by wasting less than we now
waste.
"But there is nothing more dan
gerous to the prosperity of the
country than putting heavy taxes
on those who seem to have more
they need.
Cites Own Experience
From a purely selfish stand
point, it does not make the least
difference to me whether the gov
eminent taxes me per cent or
80 per cent / do not know ex-
actly, but imagine | could live
Just as I now hive on l per cent
of my income. / am not in bust
ness to make money as money, but
to do many things which believe
are of public benefit, and be-

Ice Storm Ten Years
Ago Tied Up Roads

Ten years ago today the Their
mometers around Lambertville and
New Hope dropped few degrees
and changed a rain into an ice
storm, paralyzing traffic by both
railroad and trolley, not to mention
a cessation of vehicular movement.
A few days previous-ten years
ago this past week, the weather
man chased the temperature down
20 from three to eight degrees be-
low zero, but nobody's automobile
radiator froze up, because no one in
this section used their car in the
winter time.
Railroad traffic was resumed in
q couple of days-one locomotive be-
ing frozen fast to the rails at New
Hope-and telephone and telegraph
service was fully restored in from
two to six weeks.
incidentally, there had been plenty
Of good shedding and sleighing until
the March LIST storm blockaded the
roads complete.

The spelling contest on last Sat
urday evening, between the Ep-
worth Leagues and their friends of
the New Hope and Lahaska Metho-
dist Churches, held in the Lahaska
M. f. Church, was well attended,
and proved to be a great success.
There were nineteen persons on each
side in the spelling match. The
words were pronounced by Miss
Adelaid Arwine. After about twenty
minutes the contest simmered down
to one on Lahaska side, Mrs. Flor
ence Naylor, Miss Francis Todd and
Fred Whiteley. The two teams, thus
reduced, continued spelling for about
five minutes when Mrs. Webster fell
out. Then the balance of the New
Hope team spelled down in the fol
lowing order:- Fred Whitley, Mrs.
Florence Naylor, leaving Miss Fran
els Todd as the final winner.
A very interesting musical and
literary program was rendered be-
fore, and light refreshments were
served, following the spelling con-
test by the Lahaska League. The
judges of the contest were Mrs.
Jas. Whitley, Of Lambertville, Miss
Hattie Mitchell, of New Hope and
Miss May Johnson, Of Lahaska.

Chicago is called characteristic of
that claim. For the first time in the
campaign it was decided to charge
admission to everybody who came to
the armory in which La Toilette was
to speak, instead of only charging for
the best seats, as was recently done
in Madison Square Garden. Nobody
could get in without paying for places
at prices ranging from SO cents to 50
apiece. The hall was packed. There
was an immense overflow meeting.
Then, to cap the climax, the hat was
passed at the meeting in the armory
and another $4,000 was raised.

They scorn such thoughts as merely

laying the foundations of new

sequence of a mighty ground swell

the total vote on that occasion was
