WAS SOLOMON WISE?

Solomon has always been adver-
tised as very wise man, but if his
tory of his life and that of his son,
Rehoboam, is correct, they wrecked
their power and their people by ex-
cessive taxation.
Citizens in practically every city,
country and state in the United States
are facing much the same problem
as did the people under Solomon.
Enormous expenditures are being
made for all kinds of public under
takings. Local taxes have been con-
tinuously increasing. All these taxes
are added to the cost of living
through increased prices and rents.
The ultimate consumer and day lab
orer cannot pass the taxes on to the
other fellow. They pay them all.
Taxes and debts have wrecked
more governments and impoverished
more nations than all the wars OF his
tory. At the height of our prosper
ity is a good time for us to check up
on QUE debt and tax situation. The
family that spends more than it can
afford, is headed for trouble, and the
nation which overcrowds on the tax
payments, is following the same path.

the rural sections Of the country, we
are constantly impressed by the fact
that wide-awake, progressive home
paper plays a most important part in
community progress. In fact, it is
difficult for community to move
forward if the home paper does not
match up to and properly reflect the
enthusiasm of the leaders of that
community On the other hand,
live home paper can do much to wake
up a sleeping community.
We sometimes find communities
where the local paper is far ahead
of the spirit of the people. In such
communities the editor plays heart
breaking game. On the other hand,
many communities stand still year
after year because Of dead or sleep
ing home paper. The right sort OF
working partnership between the COM
munity and the press nearly always
brings results.
We believe that the Northwest is
particularly fortunate with refer
ence to it's local papers. In re-
cent editorial, the Wisconsin State
Journal says some things that have
been on our mind for long time.
We gladly add our approval to this
editorial which describes the unset
fish idealism usually to be found be-
hind the local newspaper. The edl-
torial follows:
"The local newspaper n the Unit
ed States is each year getting on a
firmer foundation and becoming more
and more useful to its home town
and it's community.
at is the home newspaper which
boosts the town, year in and year out
which takes the lead in every enter
prise which has for its purpose the
upbuilding of the community.
eve frequently hear it sid thai
the old-time independent spirit of the
newspaper is gone; that its editoria
policy is now subservient to the bust
ness office. Yet this is not true
There is more unselfish idealism il
the average local newspaper than il
any other business enterprise. 1t fire.

nation and of the community, regard
less of what the consequence may b
from a business standpoint.
"The local newspaper is the prin

it does it's boosting often without hope
of material reward. Unfortunatel!

preciates nor supports it's local news
