TARIFF

During the first eight months
operation of the Hawley- -Smoot
tariff law, the total imports into this
country amounted to $1,665, 100000
OF this total, the imports subject to
duty amounted to $513,O0O,000, the
balance amounting to $1,152,O 100000
coming in duty free. This means
that for the first eight months oper-
alton of the new tariff law, 69.2 per
cent of the total imports into this
country came in duty free, while
3O.S per cent were subject TO duty.

for by gasoline taxes, and yet the
costs of local government continue
to mount steadily year after year.
Already the tax burden has become
almost unbearable and comprises
the chief reason why the farmers
need relief. Just what may happen
if the present tendency keeps up for
another decade is not pleasant to
contemplate.
OF course the remedy SO far as
the local units of government are
concerned, remains with the people
of these communities themselves.
Most of the money is spent for ser
vice and Improvement within the
community, and so long as the bur
dened taxpayers do not make an ef-
fort to see that the public money is
wisely expended, they will continue
suffer. Economy at Washington will
not solve this problem. The national
government does not get it's money
from the municipal and county tax
budgets.
Certain it is, of course, that we
want good roads, good schools, good
hospitals and charitable institu-
tions. But this is no time for social
and political experiments. It is true
that we a erin the midst of depres-
sion but it is very doubtful whether
many of the untried remedies.
through government aid. will help
as much as they will hurt. The road
out of the morass will come through
individual effort, not through gov
ernment ownership or guardianship.
So instead of putting our national,
state and local governments further
into business, and eliminating many
of the chief sources of public reve-
nue., under the pretence that we are
helping the dear public, let us
rather give business a chance to
work out it's own salvation, and
direct our efforts to seeing that the
local public money is spent care
fully and wisely. That will help
lot more eventually than weekend,
experimental trips into the iungles
of socialism.

THE ALERT CRITIC who is so
quick to point out the faults of his
home town, is often the dull house
holder who is so slow to remove the
defects of his home place which
mar his home neighborhood.

PERIODS of dull business are the
best times to buy things, because
prices are lower, but it takes adj
vertising to convince the public of
that fact.

GOVERNMENT PAY RAISES
REFUSED

Heads of the Government Depart
ments in Washington have refused
the requests that have been made
for increases in the rate of pay of
employees in the public service. on
the ground that the current eco
nomic conditions are such that pres
ent salaries of Government employ
ees represent an increased buying
power which is equivalent to an in
crease in pay.

THE PEOPLE who make their
money in town, and spend it some
where else, do not seem to appreci-

butter.

The trouble with most of us is
that we forget that the best time to
save money is when we are getting

UPSTAIRS
AND
DOWNSTAIRS

To FILL every household need, a
soap must be safe for the hlmiest
fabrics and yer be stern with the
grease on dishes, the hidden dust
In heavy blankets. It's a combina-
ton you don't often find.
White King Granulated Soap
plays all parts. Made from fine
vegetable and nut oils, its purity
makes il safe for anything that can
be safely dipped in water. Use it in
washing delicate ginghams and
prints-note the freshness and re-
newed brightness of the colors.
Yet, on the heavy jobs, White King
IS prompt, thorough and effective.
White King solves every wash
ing problem-dishes, fabrics, sill
yer, glass, floors and woodwork.
It's kind TO tender hands because
il works SO well in lukewarm
water, instead of the hot water
ordinary soaps require. It's eco-
nomical too. Try il today. Sold by
your grocer.
