FAITH AND HOPE
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

HARSH words are being said about the
III year that died last night, in the same
breath with a hope that better things
will come to us from the youngster who
bears on his chest the label 1882.
Any who expect the newcomer to
make radical change in conditions i'm
mediately, are doomed to disappoint-
nent. That he will leave better rec
ord behind him on his departure year
hence, than does his immediate prede-
cessor, is something for which all of us
can hope.
Hope is the keynote of our New Year
greetings. But hope will avail of little
unless it be accompanied by its running
mate-faith.
While all of us are strong on hope,
it cannot be disputed that we are some
what shy on faith. Why this should be
so is rather difficult to understand
There is every reason for US to have
faith. Not only faith in 1882 to bring
us better things, but faith in our own
ability to do SO. Without such faith in
ourselves and in our country, hope will
be of little use in bettering conditions.
The possibilities offered in the United
States are as great today as they ever
were. Business leaders who know where
of they speak have pointed out that our
troubles of the past two years have been
caused because we allowed ourselves to
be swept off our feet by false sense
of values. We laid claim to profits which
did not belong to us-whch in fact did
not exist at all, except as a theory, and
when they were swept from US we be-
came panic stricken.
Immediately we reverted to a charac-
teristic of our childhood days when we
were afraid of the dark. We know now
that the dark could not harm us = that
there was nothing to fear from it, new
ertheless our terror then was a real one
and it took education and development
to remove it from us.
What we have been getting in the past

DOWN BUT NOT OUT

cINCE writing the foregoing editorial,
> Ell Centros business center has been
struck a hard blow, and it is a bit
difficult this morning to take it.
We can fully appreciate what it means
to the business and professional men who
have been hit hard, and to them we eX-
tend our sympathy, for it is not very
nice New Years greeting they have re-
ceived.
But they are men who can take 1t on
the chin as the saying goes, each and
every last one of them. They are the
type that forms the backbone of this
community and of the nation, and 1t takes
more than a fire to put such fellows
down for the count.
1t is easy enough for one on the out
side to talk at such time, but we know
that every man touched by last night 5
fire has faced bigger jolt at some prev
ious time in his life. They came out of
it and they will come out of this one.
They are still pouring water on the
ruins as this is written, but we would
gamble that the Davis block gang is even
now planning how they will carry ON.
1t will be of some help to them at this
time to know that they not only have
the sympathy of their fellow citizens but
that the latter also have the fullest faith
and confidence in them to come bac
stronger than ever.

"Ha! Ha! Happy New Yearl"
"Oh, you caught me-" chuckled
the Bear. quite a joker you are!"
Yes, I'm clever admitted Mr.
Longears. well, I'll see you later
I must try my joke on some one
else!"
Away he hoped over the fields
and through the woods until he
came to a big bush. The bush was
SO thick that, even with no leaves
on it, Uncle Wiggily could not see
who was back of it. But he thought
he saw the little short tail of Mr.
Whitewash, the Polar Bear. So
the rabbit said TO himself I'll
play my joke on him!" Then he
called:
Hello, Mr.. Whitewash! Where
have you been all this year?'
Then, all of a sudden the bush
shook and from it came the Woozie
Wolf instead of jolly Mr.. White
wash.
Whats that you said to me
about my ear?" howled the Wolf
Il didn't say anything about
your ear" gasped Uncle Wiggily.
Il was just making a joke about
the New Year and-Oh, I guess 1
made a mistake!" he cried. "Fx
cuse mel"
mo, I won't excuse you, I'll nib
BILE youl" snarled the Wolf. He
made a jump for the rabbit but
just then the Police Dog came
along and the Wolf ran away and
so the rabbit was saved.
"But I guess 1 don't want to
play my joke any more" said Mr..
Longears.
What joke?' asked the Police
Dog. Tell me-
mo, thank you" answered the
bunny. THE Fox and the Bob Cat
might not like it. And they may
be hiding around here. I'm going
home for the first time this New
Year" So home he hoped.

two years is the same sort of education
and development If we profit by 1t
there is every reason to believe that when
the .voungster 1882" becomes an old
man. he will depart from us leaving us
stronger and better in every way than
he found us. That however, is not up
to 1882, but it is up to ourselves.
If we couple strong and healthy faith
to our hope and forget our fear OF the
dark, 1892 is certain to be what we
hope it will be for ala Happy and
Prosperous New Year.

Lone Arrest Is
Made By Police

Tolerance tempered the actions
of the Ell Centro police department
personnel last night during an eve
ming that kept the cops busy but
netted them only one arrest on a
charge Of drunkenness.
And it was not so much the fact
that Bail Singh, Al, was drunk
that caused his arrest, as the fact
he has been drunk so often. Singh'5
visits to the flowing cup were not
a seasonal matter, but rather a
habit.
Singh has been arrested so often,
officers said today, he even knows
the softest part of the seat in the
patrol car, and can find his way
about the county Jail by the sound
of his footsteps.

me a fine idea. I'm going to do a
little joking myself. Instead OF
looking for an adventure today
I'll hop around and play jokes on
my friends"
So Mr. Longears hoped over
the fields and through the woods
and soon he met fat Mr.. TWisty-
tail, the pig gentleman.
Good morning, Mr.. Twistytaill"
greeted the rabbit. You are quite
a stranger'

pig. What do you mean?"
why this is the first time I've
seen you this year." went on Mr.
Longears.
Nonsense! What are you talk
ing about?" asked the pig. Why
you saw me yesterday"
"Yes, l know 1 saw you yester-
day!" chuckled the rabbit. But
yesterday was last year, 1881, you
know. Today is January /, in the
New Year, and this is the first
time I've seen you this year of 1892
Ha! Hal How's that for a joke?"
Mr.. Twistytail blinked his eyes
and then he began counting up
on his four feet and his kinky
little tail. at last he grunted:
"Oh, yes, this is the New Year
I'd forgottenl Ha! Hal Yes, that's
a pretty good joke, Uncle Wiggily
You saw me last night, which was
the Old Year, and now you see
me again, next day, and it's the
New Year. But at first 1 thought
you meant it was a whole year
since you had seen me. Quite a
joke. Oh, yes!"
Il thought it would be-" chuckled
the rabbit. 81 caught YOU Now

Away he hoped over the fields
and through the woods and pretty
soon he met Mr.. Stubtail, the Jolly
bear father of Neddie and Beckie
Hello, Uncle Wiggily" growled
the bear, laughing.
"Oh, hello" answered the rab-
bit gentleman. where have you
been since last year?"
"Since last year?" exclaimed the
puzzled Bear. Why 1 saw you
only last night and now you talk
as if I'd been away a year

BUTTE PASSES
YEARS BUDGET
city's Finances in Bad Shape; Less
Money Coming in From Taxes
From Mining Industry.

The city council at its August s
meeting, in order to balance its
budget, was forced to pare expenses
in every department, including the
wages of the police and firemen.
The city of Butte has been in a bad
financial condition for several years.
especially since the passage of the tax
law, known as the net proceeds tax.
This law, in effect, releases the mine
operators from paying any tax on
their mining properties except when
they make a profit. Every taxpayer
! n the city of Butte is taxed on the
value of his property whether he is
working or not. If he is working, the
size of his pay check has no bearing
on the tax he pays to support the gov
eminent of this city, county, or state.
In other words, the tax paid today by
the home owners, regardless of the
fact that he may or may not be en-
ployed, goes to support these govern
ments without any aid from these
mining properties, unless they show a
profit.
Montana labor news., 1932-08-11

Some years ago the people of Mon
tana, at the urging of Joe Dixon,
passed a referendum measure provid-
ing for a net proceeds tax on the min
ing industry. Up to that time the
mining companies had been accused
Of getting off easily on the tax ques-
ton, but since that time things have
changed-for the worsei Whereas,
previous to the time that law went
into effect, the mines had paid some
taxes every year, under the new law
they are in a position to dodge the
payment of taxes upon their under
ground property, and since that time
their contribution to the expenses of
government has been getting smaller
and smaller. The financial pinch felt
by the state institutions, by the city
of Butte and by the school district is,
no doubt, in a great measure due to
the diminishing taxes from the mining
industry.
The net proceeds tax, which ap-
plies to gold, silver, copper, lead,
petroleum, or other valuable minerals,
Is assessed by the state board of
