How Far Will Science Go?

The amazing surgical operation perform
ed in Paris when nerve center was taken
from the body of a guillotine victim and
grated into the body of an afflicted child may
cause humanity to wonder just how far
science may go in this respect in the future.
Two features of the operation stand out as
holding intense interest. The one is wheth-
er there is to be physical limit Of the skill
of science and the other is whether the
world will accept explorations of this kind
as ethical.
The prospect of a great advance in this
branch of surgical science is peculiarly inter
esting. One may wonder whether science will
eventually find way to supply parts for hui
man bodies as they now supplied for
machines A motor car may have new
wheels, a new motor, a new body and func-
ton Just as before The time may come when
one may lose member and buy another, or
have replaced an organ that has worn out
or deterorated through disease. Skin graft
ing is common. Blood TRANSMISSION has effect
ed a strange and unnatural relationship be-
tween individuals. Shall the time come when
one man will see through another's eyes,
walk with another's legs, digest his food in a
transplanted stomach? Millionaires advanced
in age would part with vast treasure If they
could have their physical youth restored in
any manner Perhaps the surgeon OF the flu
ture may go far in helping them to realize
that dream As far as utilizing the skin, the
blood, nerve centers and other parts from
executed criminals is concerned most persons
may be expected to hesitate between two
considerations the one ethical and the other
biological They would question their right
thus to appropriate, and they might worry
in addition lest unwelcome tendencies within
themselves developed as a result.

Horse Feed From Chicago.
From the Commerce News.

Some farmers in this section are buying
horse feed from Chicago. 1t is a combination
Of iced stuff Just what that combination is
we do not know 1t looks like a mixture OF
corn, oats and syrup. May have some bran
and shorts. Might have some saw dust and
dirt We do not know. The thing that seems
unreasonable is that farmers are buying it
and, and paying the freight on it from Chi
Cago. The buyer must pay the manufacturer
a profit pay the freight from Chicago, then
pay the local dealer a profit Well this is a
free country, and everybody has a right to
make his own plans and conform to them,
but when many farmers must live hard in
order to support a family and pay their debts
it does seem the height OF folly for farmer
to buy such a connection, then pay the
freight on it from Chicago to Commerce. 1t
is true that the dry weather damaged late
corn last year, but the fact remains that re-
CARELESS OF weather, wet or dry many farm
ers have been buying this same class of feed
year after year We raise this question: Can
any farmer take chances on the boil weevil
and grow cotton to get the money to pay
for horse feed shipped from Chicago? 1t is
too hazardous to risk. Now is the time to
consider the matter Now is the time to plant
corn. The farmer who does this will not be
forced to buy horse feed from Chicago.

Income Tax Drawbacks.
From the Industrial News.

In eight years the federal income tax col
lected was more than $30,000,000000. Refunds
amount to $40,871 ,67272, and refund appli-
cations numbering 277;543 are now on file,
The house appropriations committee asks
$150000,000 additional to cover the 1925 re-
funds Some of the refund will be counter
balanced by back taxes to be collected for
evasions or misunderstanding.
No tax was ever imposed that everybody
paid willingly, or that was entirely scientific
or just The income tax is usually consider
ed as fsBiHfg on those best able to pay" it
has not quite concerned itself with abstract
Justice What man can earn by his own
efforts may be only doubtfully sequestered
by the state on penalty basis; there is no
absolute line between the needs of men, to
say that the one shall enjoy society cost-free
for his failure and the other shall pay all the
costs for his success.
Especially as it applies to salary or to
wealth accumulated during ones own life
time the income tax is a penalty for thrift
and industry. Even though expedent it
needs limitation, both for expediency and for
abstract justice.

Get a lob, Young Man.

Every young man should have some sort
of lob. The harder it is and the more hours
he has to work the better it is for him; 1t
will keep him out of trouble. Every young
man has some sort of job in view that he
would like to do. He often finds it difficult
to find the right sort of work. The thing Tor
him to do is to take the kind of work he
can get There is nothing in the world that
causes so much trouble as idleness. You sell
dom hear OF an industrious boy, one who
will work at anything he can get to do rather
than be idle, ever getting into trouble. II
boy is seen loahng about the streets day al
ter day no business man wants to employ
him A pull sometimes helps boy along,
but when pull helps once industry and ambi-
Ion help d thousand times Nine-tenths Of
he successful men OF today were poor boys
sho had to fight their own battles. The boy
who IS afraid he will do more work than he
set ng paid for never gets anywhere, while
fellow who takes an interest and finishes
job even if the clock hands are past the
ii ii mark is the one who gets the pro-
otion.

Tax Reduction.

Senator King, OF Utah a democratic mem
Der of the finance committee, insists that the
next tax reduction ought to go farther than
is now contemplated, and lop off fully $780,
100000 in the federal levy. He will introduce
a tax measure in the next congress providing
cuts in surtaxes so that the combined maxi
mum and normal surtax rate will not exceed
25 per cent In addition, he would have all
remaining excise taxes wiped out.
The treasury department has contemplated
tax reduction OF about $300,0OO0O0. Sena-
tor King, however, points out that the esti-
mated surplus for the next fiscal year will be
more than $4000OO000, and represents that
the reduction can be carried to $500OOOOO0
without any difficulty in finding revenue for
operation of the government.
Repeal of all existing excise taxes is urged
by Senator King. These include the admis-
sion tax, automobile sales tax and the stamp
taxes on various articles. Thus the public
would be relieved of various levies always
considered nuisance taxes which have burden
ed sales for years and increased the cost of
living Whether the reduction to be made
in the next congress will be as far reaching
as Senator King suggests must be lett to
the future. Further progress in government
economy probably would be demanded In
this connection it may be observed that
Secretary Jardine of the department of agrl-
culture, already has cut expenses more than
81 100000 since he took Office
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1925-04-21

The Madisonian very truthfully says that
the success or failure OF any farmer hinges
largely on the matter OF feed crops and
adds: Corn continues to come into Morgan
county in car lots, and every day sees Nor
gan county farmers hauling out bought corn
and hay on which to feed work stock This
is the weak point in our farming program
and where so many farmers fall down" The
farmer who buys corn for his stock and ten
ants is doing worse than nothing. 1t was
ruinous policy even before the boil weeyil
came, and under present conditions catching
doodles would be less risk and just as prof
table Don't do it.

We Must Pay for What We Get.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

Editor Rainey, Of The Dawson News,
pleads for somebody TO figure a way which
taxes may be reduced. 1--WE already have
burden OF taxes almost greater than we can
bear" he says, adding:
First, we are taxed for property we
own. Then we are taxed for property we
do not own. We are taxed while we are
living and we are taxed after we are
dead We are taxed when we go to
show and we are taxed when we take
smoke Taxes, taxes taxes We are
taxed on our incomes by the federal gov
eminent, and now they want to tax our
incomes by the state. We are taxed
when we go for an automobile rides
are taxed when we put gasoline in the
tank to go on Isn't there somebody who
can figure out a way to reduce taxes
instead of increasing them all the timer
Unquestionably, taxes are greater now
than they have ever been, unless it was dur
ing the days OF the civil war, when the mon
ey circulating in the south was OF little value;
but. we should not forget that we are living
in progressive age, one that calls tor IN
creased expenditures in every direction.
Therefore, before we register complaint
against the cost of things we should remem-
Der that our requirements are much greater
than they have ever been. In place OF the
tallow candle and the oil lamp formerly used
to illuminate our homes and places of bust
ness we now have the latest inventions and
improvements in electrical lighting; instead OF
the horse and buggy or carriage we nowhave
the automobile to carry us from place to
place and, incidentally, it may be stated, that
we ride a great deal more now than we did
before the advent of the motor car. We ride
further and oftener, because it is easy for us
to do so; and this riding costs money. Nat
urally, with modern vehicles of travel has
come a demand for improved highways. In
place of the old roads OF a quarter Of cen
fury ago, over which it was almost impossi-
Bile to haul more than four bales of cotton
to market on wagon drawn by four mules
we are today asking demanding in fact
roads over WHICH we can transport from
eight to ten bales of cotton on big truck.
These are two or three illustrations of the
difference between our living today and what
was twenty-five or thirty years ago. Many
others could be given We complain a great
deal about the high cost of living, but we
might come nearer to the truth of the mat
ter if we should change it to cost of high
living.
We cannot hope to have these improve
ments without paying for them.
