One day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping over the meadow. in which
grew green grass, he had a strange
adventure. The meadow was a queer
place anyhow In it grew green
grass. Mrs. Moo a brown COW lady,
used TO chew this green grass which
she made into white milk and out
of this white milk and cream was
made yellow butter So you can
see the meadow was rather a mys-
teriOuS place.
Uncle Wiggily was hopping across
it one day, when he heard a strange
murmuring noise as the wind gent
~ blew and made the tops of the
tall. green grass stems bend in thc
breeze. But it was not the grass
stems that were making the whis-

Reeds Tax on Sales

David "A. Reed, republican senator from Pennsyl-
vania, is advocating a one per cent tax of all commodities
to help meet the nations deficit.
Reed is a member of the senate finance committee
and close to Andy Mellon and Pres. Hoover. He thinks
this tay would go a long way toward eliminating the
5000, 900, 600 treasury deficit of last year and the antic-
ipated $1,300,0 600, 900 one of this year.
From the other end of the capitol Rep. Isaac Bach
arach Of New Jersey proposed a drastic tax revision pro-
gram, echoing the Reed proposal with sales levies confined
TO luxuries and non-essentials. Doubtless theresl be other
echoes. walls and means over the question and congress
will be stirred to a merry middle.
Gov. Franklin d. Roosevelt says there are too many
calls on the taxpayer already and too many way-stations
in government at which to pay. 1t resembles the feudal
days when a man had to pay a tax every time he crossed
anothers land until by the time he got to market he had
nothing to sell. Gov. Roosevelt would slice off many Of
the way-stations.
Year after year more taxes have been added along
the route from the county to the federal government but
still there remains the increasing deficit. Why not change
the order and take a fling at Mr.. Roosevelt's plan?

Mustapha Renal gradually is junking the customs
and century old traditions of the Turks for the modern
civilization of the Western world. First he unveiled
Turkeys women; he introduced the modern dance; he
substituted the dress suit and the high topped hat for the
ancient Turkish garb and the fez; then he widened his
program to take in other reforms.
His nam was in the headlines and his picture on
front pages. This week Mustapha made the news again
with his reforms. This time he took a broader step. The
Moslem clergy owned a vast part of the country's wealth
it held full sway over the minds of the nations youth and
no other primary schools existed. Renal snapped its
control of the state, the army and the masses with his
reforms.
He hasn't won the battle. The economic woes of the
masses are hindering the plan and keeping the Mosques
full of the faithful seeking consolation. To this power
full and rich energy the Moslem Turks always have made
requests.
Will Renal be able to break this tradition as he has
the other ancient customs, or will the people have to
come to religious reformation themselves as did the West
en world in years back? Truly Mustapha took a big
bite this time.

Children Filling Jobs

The stay-in-school campaign, which has been an
nounced by President Hoovers new organization on I'M
employment relief, deserves the cooperation Of every
father and mother in the country. There are 5000, 900
jobless people in America. Yet the children's division of
the Labor Department has revealed that an alarming
number of boys and girls, II and Is years of age, are OBJ
tanning labor certificates. The report, based on a 1880
survey, shows that there is a decrease from the previous
year, but that there is a regular army of youngsters seek
ing work.

of livelihood for dependents he should stay in school and
an able-bodied adult perform the task.

Daily Health
Talk

Before giving advice TO the aged
as to the conduct of their lives, Id
may be well TO recognize somewhat
their economic conditions. IL Is
estimated by Dublin. statistician of
a famous life insurance company,
that one and one-quarter million
persons in the United States who
have reached the age Of IS are in
want and are supported by char
ity, public and private. This means
that % per cent or more than one
out OF every four are dependent.

says that ia w~ll-occupied mind, a

may point out that dignitaries of
the church, chief justices on SUI

sions whose activities are prolonged
tend to live longer than others.
Apparently the most important
advice for attaining and prolong-
ing old age has TO do with the diet.
A half-dozen proverbs attest the
manner in which men have &C.
cepted this fact. "You dig your

Aasyss

Here's what the $1,000 salary
OF each OF the 80 judges OF civil
appeals courts means in terms Of
commodities at present prices. as
told by Rep. +. III. McGregor OF
Austin before the house. when res
olutions were adopted demanding a
cut Of all state county and local
salaries and the fees of local Of
ficers:
Seven thousand dollars equals:
so bales cotton.
1000 bushels OF wheat.
1000 bushels OF corn.
SO fine yearlings.
100 hogs.
1000 bushels Of oats.
100 sheep.
100 goats.
20 mich COWS.
l $1,000 automobile.
$1,000 in cash.
The house started out TO call for
reduction Of the educational and
departmental salaries. Its speakers
asserted these were too high. why
not the district judges mt $1,000 and
supreme court at $8000?" somebody
asked.
al right" Rep. w. 7. Savage re-
Joined, why don't you include the
salaries and fees OF local officers?
Many local officers get three times
as much as these state officers you
are talking about"
So they put the salaries and fees
OF every public official il Texas
under scrutiny. The legislature can't
change the salaries OF constitutional
officers, but there are only q hand
full OF these.
The same legislature the same
day had called on Gov. Sterling 10
submit either general revenue and
taxation, or else the adoption Of an
income tax. Salary reduction also
was included in this. This reSolu-
ton got a vote OF "a 70 IS, showing
the strength of the movement to
avert increases in the states prop
erty tax, the rate OF which is being
held back until the ,-~gislature acts.
Estimates OF the possible reduc-
ton In state salaries on the scale
proposed by Rep. McGregor-10 per
cent on salaries under $500, Is per
cent on salaries Of $500 to $4,000,
and 20 per cent on salaries over
$4,000, were from ST. 900 $780,
600 a year for the states saving.
But the savings on n similar ratio.
OF cutting county and district Of
ficers were guessed all the way
from $780, 900 TO $1,000, 900 a year.
This showed that the leaks OF
wasteful public expenditures were
not SO much IN the state treasury as
in the 252 county and the innum-
cradle districts and local spending
agencies.
The temper OF the legislature, as
shown IN these demands, makes IL
a good year TO begin the work Of
consolidatin departments, bureaus
and agencies of government, and
more particularly TO wiping out the
unnecessary and exorbitantly ex-
pensive local agencies and offices
that are not needed.
The legislature should not do
anything to cripple any needed
agency OF government. But where II
can lop off inspectors, deputies,
supernumerary officers and en-
ployes, 1t Is taking just that much
more Of the intolerable burden Of
taxes off what people are left.
