WHO FooTs THE BILL

We've recently heard few Noun
tain Home citizens who do not own
autos complaining about the enor-
nous sums of money spent in high
way construction and contending
that car owners are the only ones
who benefit. In a measure that is
true, but they are apt to overlook
who pays for the roads 1t is really
the car owners who must maintain
them. The federal government, for
instance, reports that it has paid out
$264,7S2,216 on account Of Federal
Aid highways, forest road construc-
tion and expense of administration.
But this is not tax on the non-car
owner because the government has
collected $3.50, 012,021 in taxes on
autos, tires and accessories. This
leaves more than $300,0O0,000 of
automobile money to be turned into
the treasury to help meet other ex-
penses of the government In many
states license fees, gasoline taxes
and other charges-lto say nothing
of the property tax-usually take
care of the road building programs
and sometimes leave surplus.
If the nQp-car owner feels that
better roads aid the auto-owners and
do not help him he should remember
that the better the roads the easier
it is for producers to get their wares
to market And the easier it is to
market them the lower the prices to
everyone n car owner and non-car
owner. In fact, there is no one in
any community whom good roads do
not benefit, and the better the roads
the greater the benefit. II we are
not getting the finest of highways
then it is largely our fault and those
who own cars should have their re-
personalities look into it. They are
paying their auto license money to
state and nation with the UNDER
standing that it is to be used on
roads-they should get what they
are paying for. Then all of us will
be benefited.

MONEY TO BURN

Somebody must have money to
burn. Just look at the ads in the
fancy magazines of safety razors.
gold pencils, cigarette cases and the
like at from SIS to SIS each. and Won
will agree with us that, no matter
how much money a man has, it's silly
to pay such enormous prices for ar
ticles whose real value is compara-
lively small. Anyone in Mountain
Home who knows anything about the
worlds history-and there are a LOT
who do-know that foolishness of
this same type brought the downfall
OF Rome and caused the French revo-
luton. When there are millions of
human beings in the world who are
suffering for the barest necessities of
HE 1t is wicked to waste money on
silly luxuries. 1t is no wonder that
ignorant and vicious people who see
these exhibitions of crazy spending
OF money that was never honestly
earned should become desperate and
resort to acts of violence. 1t ia all
rignt to have money, but no man.
even II 1t is his own, has a right to
spend II IN a manner that will lead
his country toward destruction.

WHERE HICKS RESIDE

You have only to read the daily
papers to discover that the "easy
marks in this country are no longer
those who live on farms and in towns

New York and Chicago have more

all of our small towns put together.
Today detectives are still looking for
Leo Koretz who was wined and dined
by hundreds of Chicago's citizens,
and who later skipped with several
million dollars of their hard earned
cash. He sold them stock in Panama
oil wells, away down where the COO
coo birds roost high and where a fell
low hasn't much chance of getting
his feet all sticky from his own
crude oil. Koretz didn't work the
small towns-he knew that ''the big
ger they are the harder they fall"
so he found his richest picking in
Chicago. He's gone now, and detec-
tiyes say he got away with close to
S1O,OOO,000. Isn't it about time that
we hand the thick" medal to the big
city on the banks of Lake Michigan

disguise, persistently and skillfully
nourish and foster hatred and culti-
vate in the hearts of people jealousy
and distrust of their fellowmen. This
is our greatest danger-the danger
that we'll permit ourselves to be
blinded by these partisans until the
country falls into the hands of the
demagogues.
We are entitled to lower taxes in
this country-don't let the dema-
gogue tell you we can't get it, no
matter what party he belongs to.
We are entitled to more equitable
freight rates that the men who pro-
duce that which we eat can grow and
market at fairer price than they
have been getting - don't let any
demagogue tell you that this can't
he adjusted. We need and must
have immigration laws so strict that
our shores will not be used as a.
dumping ground for a class of citi-
zens the old world is anxious to get
rid of-don't let the demsgogue tell
you that turning them back may hurt
our foreign trade. Resolve to do
your own thinking this year; turn a |
cold shoulder to the demagogue; and
when your personal history for 1924
IS written you'll find you've passed
through one of the very best years
Of your life.
