REEDS COMMON SENSE

''The best way to get men
employed" says former Sen
ator James A. Reed, of Mis-
souri,, sis to stop wasting
money and levying taxes SO
employers can get back on
their feet and employ men" "
Other nuggets from an inter
view are: "Non-productive
construction at this time
merely draws money out of
productive enterprise where
labor is employed and sinks it
in non-productive, interest
bearing enterprises of various
kinds"
''We are not conducting an
almshouse. We haven't got
an eleemosynary form of gov
ernment."
The old war-horse of Mis-
souri, Democracy do esn' t
agree with Speaker Garner,
who would add hundreds of
millions to the national debt
and levy taxes to pay the in
terest on the bonds, adding to
the difficulty of budget-bal-
ancing. President Hoover, in
his opinion, is Undoubtedly
needs is not more unnecessary
public works, to be paid for by
heavier taxes. 1t wants more
work for private enterprise
that will earn money for
worker and employer and
make it easier to pay the tax
es that are necessary for the
maintenance Of government.

ST. AUGUSTINE is
240 YEARS OLD
Episcopal Church Near Chesa-
peake City Held Its Annual
Services Sunday Afternoon
REV. LANE IN CHARGE

Several hundred persons gather
ed at old st. Augustine, a small
village eight miles south of Elkton,
Sunday afternoon, attending the
annual memorial services marking
the 24Oth year the church has been
in continuous existence. The Rev.
Vernon w. Lane, rector of st.
Stephens Church, Earleville, and
St. Augustine parish, conducted the
services, assisted by visiting clergy
men. The music was under the di-
rection of Elwood Bartram, chair
man of the music committee of St.
Stephens Lutheran Church, Will
mington. A quartet assisted the
church choir and rendered special
selections appropriate to the occa-
sion. The organist was Miss Alice
Nichols. In past years, Episcopal
churches had distinctive names and
st. Augustine was called ''The
Manor Chapel" and the records
date back to 1892, and cite that it
was Chapel of Ease" belonging
to North Sassafras parish, and sub
sidiary to old st. Stephens Church,
at Earleville. The records further
state that in 1892 the commission
ers of Cecil County, with some of
the principal free-holders, in pur-
suance of an Act of Assembly, laid
and divided Cecil County into two
parishes, namely, North Sassafras
and South Sassafras. This was at
a time when the Episcopal religion
was the established religion of the
Province of Maryland. In 1706
North Sassafras had its name
changed to st. Stephens parish,
and in 1743 st. Augustine parish
was created of part of st. Steph-
ems and embraces all that land ly-
ing between the Elk and Bohemia
rivers. The Manor Chapel was
erected at a time when this sec
ton was known as the Western
wilderness and many of the early
settlers of Cecil County worshiped
at this church. In the cemetery,
adjoining the ancient church, are
buried some of the most prominent
families of New Castle, Del, and
Cecil County, Md, army officers
and soldiers of the Revolutionary
War, the War of 1912, the Mexican
War, the Civil War, and Spanish
American War.

NEW FEDERAL TAXES

Within the next three weeks
the American public will begin
to feel the effects Of the new
Federal taxes. The bill MAX
ing the impost, which was
passed by Congress and ap-
proved by President Hoover,
on Tuesday, is now a law. In
most instances the levies Will
become effective June 21.
Some will come a little later.
An added burden is thereby
placed upon the people, who,
through the means created by
the bill, are expected to con-
tribute 118,5OO,OOO to the
national exchequer during the
current fiscal year, which ends
June 80, 1888. Yet there is
the satisfaction of knowing
just what the government in
tends to exact. Everybody
can plan accordingly.
There are items in the bill
that are considered by some
interests as unfair. They were
protested, but without result.
Now that the die is cast, the
best thing to do is to make
the best Of the situation, each
person realizing that he or she
is expected to contribute his
share toward helping to bal
ance the national budget,
thereby maintaining the cred
it of the country.
With the matter of fixing
the tax levy out Of the way,
business soon will be in a po-
sition to plan for the future.
Legislation yet to come, as
suming that the pending pro-
gram will materialize in some
form, should give encourage
ment to industry, for it is
aimed to extend governmental
aid in that direction.-Every
Evening.
