WHAT MAKES TAXES HIGH9

Congressman Martin B. Madden
recently very wisely told the peo-
pie of st. Louis that the way to
eliminate unjust high taxation is
to demand that the state and mu-
nicipal governments join the tax re-
duction movement. The federal gov
ernment, he saids is cutting tax
costs at every opportunity, but the
taxpayers are not getting the prop
er results because state and local
taxes are gradually going up.
"The difficulty Congressman Mad
den said, "lies chiefly with the peo-
pie themselves. They continue to
insist upon government activity
which it ought not to assume. They
cannot do this unless they are will
ing to bear the cost. The remedy is
forceful public sentiment"
Federal taxes after the next tax
cut, at least, will be down to a point
where they will be bearable by
practically all of the people of the
country. But people are still COM
planning that taxes are high. The
reason is that practically all of the
tax assessed against the ordinary
citizen, goes to the state and the
local government.
This is of course, as it should be,
as the average citizen is more in
terested in his local schools, his
roads, hospitals and the other i'm
provements which he sees every
day. But if we are to have these
things we must realize that we will
have to pay for them. Improve
ment and progress are of course
vitality necessary but it is up to
the local citizen to see that these
are carried out in an economical
way. Taxes will never be as low
as they were twenty years ago, be-
cause the people will not consent to
live like they did twenty years ago.
And somebody must pay the piper.
In so doing let us see that we do
not pay him more than he is worth.

wHEN the women of the nation,

WHEN the women of the nation,

now the women of the nation are
handing together to fight the ever
increasing toll of death and injury
from automobile accidents. This
means that organized women have
determined that careless driving, or
driving by drunken or irresponsible
nersons and careless walking by
pedestrians must cease.

on him the heartache and economic
loss that comes from the death OF

crashes.
The man who walks, often care

crossing streets or roads, at places
where he should not and where the

JUST A FEW years ago the peo-
pIe of Delaware regarded the woods
and forest trees, as things to be cut
down and turned into lumber and
sold for cash, leaving the land eth
er as waste, or to be cleared and
devoted to other less productive
purposes. In this period the forests
and trees are viewed very much as
standing grain is looked upon-as
something to be replaced by the
farmer for his own good and as
soon after the harvest as it is pos
sible. On every farm there are
places where the hardwood trees
will grow without interfering with
the tillage system of the telds'
while in many places the contour
of the field and it's drainage will mt
in for growth of either nut-bearing
trees. or the oak, hickory, or even
the pine. The value Of farm Will
be enhanced by the supply OF grow
ing forest, or hardwood trees which
are slowly maturing on it. Forest
ry is Just common sense applied
with practical thought and study
of the needs of this country by
those who will follow as its farm
ers and creators of the future. Set
nut-bearing trees this spring and
care for them until they get a start
and from then on they will care for

THE FACT has been shown that
the publication of the amount Of in
come taxes as collected by the gov
ernment, serves no good purpose
and only gratifies a morbid curios-
ity of those who can not understand
what the collection of taxes is all
about. It has brought in no addi-
tional revenue for the government,
and it is hoped that those in favor
of the repeal of that clause in the
law, which permits publication of
totals of individual taxes, will stick
by their guns and put an end to a
common nuisance.

THE WIDESPREAD unrest in the
conjugal relation Of the country has
at least one very sane explanation.
However happy the marriage, when
it deliberately fails to complete it.

no sublimer reach than the intens-

MORE FINE PORKERS

Whitley Travis, of near Harring-
ton, has butchered two fine porkers
which weighed respectively 545
pounds and 627 pounds, combined
total of 1872 pounds.

THE WOMAN who elects to marry
for love, or the one who decides to
remain single, is infinitely above the
one who does not mind sinking into
the condition of a mere parasite,
eager for luxury; and the one who
would barter her beauty and her
heart for a place among the social
snObs.

ONE of the most important things
to teach children is to take good
care of their household pets; to re-
member to feed them and to give
them water to drink at regular times
if possible. We are only doing right
if we treat every living creature as
we would wish to be treated our
selves. If you drive a horse, think
how you would like to be treated if
you were that horse. Treat your
dog and cat as you would like to be
treated if you could change places
with them. Kindness on the farm
gentle treatment of cows; good bed
ding, good food and a stall large
enough to lie down in, for the horse;
shelter for the swine; proper food
and care of poultry all repay the
farmer in dollars and cents. Try it.
Milford chronicle., 1926-01-08

THE HORSE running behind is
not the loser every time. One of the
high tests of a racer is his ability
to stay in. There are some who
never know how to reserve their
powers for the home stretch. The
man who learns it may be behind
now, but he will pass under the wire
a full length ahead.

ENEMIES Of a reasonable tariff
say it is of no benefit to the farmer.
Would they openly advocate repeal
ing the present tariff on grains, nuts,
sugar (Which affects sugar beets)
wool and all the long list of farm
products now protected? Why can
we not be reasonable about the tar
tiff and keep it out of politics?
