This Montana
Department Does
Excellent Work
Training Crippled Citizens So They
Can r. Self Supporting Producing
Wonderful Results.

Lief Frederick Of Helena, head OF
the rehabilitation work carried on by
the state of Montana, was a Libby
visitor last Thursday. Mr.. Frederick's
department is doing a highly valuable
work. It takes young people who are
either cripples from birth or who
have been injured in accidents and
trains them in some calling so that
they may become self-supporting This
not only is Of inestimable value in
that it brings hope and encouragement
to the unfortunate ones, but it makes
them economically Independent and
removes them from a possible charity
charge on the taxpayer.
While here Mr. Frederick stated his
department had helped five Libby
young men in the last few years and
had given them training in some line
OF work chosen by them. In speaking
of the work done by his department
he told of a young widow, the mother
Of three children, who lost both legs
in an auto accident The husband was 50
badly burned in the same accident that
he died. The rehabilitation department
is now training this young woman in
stenographic and clerical work and has
position ready for her when she fin
ishes her course, position by which
she will be able to support herself
and children. Scores of young people
have been lifted from a life of dis
enlargement and despair into one Of
hope and self support by the work
of Mr. Frederick and his department.

Proceeds From
Christmas Seals
Save Many Lives
Your Pennies Have Greatly Reduced
Deaths From tuberculosis in
Montana

Three hundred and rs Montana per-
sons died of tuberculosis last year, as
compared with 521 in 1916, the year
the Montana tuberculosis Association
was organized, according to DR.. w. F.
Cogswell, secretary, state board Of
health.
tuberculosis used to be the fight OF
an individual against a devasting, in
durable disease, but now we regard it
as the fight of mankind against a pre-
ventable disease said DR.. CogswelI.
This change in attitude regarding tu-
berculosis has been largely the result
OF the educational campaign carried on
by tuberculosis associations through
out the country and financed with
funds from the annual Christmas seal
sale.
To-day the facilities for discovering
the unsupported cases Of tuberculosis
are greater than ever. There is a more
general understanding of the tubercu-
lin test and the X-ray. There is less OF
unreasoning fear to combat, and more
of open-minded willingness to accept
proved scientific fact. This know
ledge makes it easier for the physician,
the health officer and the nurse to
persuade individuals to have thor
ough examination and to carry on the
proper treatment if tuberculosis is dis
covered The Christmas seal has done
much to decrease the incidence of tu-
berculosis and by supporting the cam
paign the public will be helping reduce
one of our major public health prob
lems."

Cleaning Gasoline
Ignitcs; Miss Witt
Painfully Burned
Dipping Garment in Fluid When II
Bursts into F1amc-House Damaged
by Fire.

Last Saturday the fire department
was called to the residence of A. l.
Morris by fire caused when gasoline
ignited that was being used for clothes
cleaning. Miss Hilda Witt, Of the Lib
by high school faculty, was cleaning
some clothing on the Morris porch
and says she was dipping silk clothing
up and down In pan of gasoline and
had just pushed the cloth into the
pan when suddenly the fluid ignited.
Her hands were in the gasoline and
the flames shot up her arms. She was
wearing heavy wool sweater with
the sleeves rolled back to the elbows,
and it is believed the wooden sweater
is all that saved her clothing from
catching fire. AS it was, her forearms
were painfully but not seriously
burned. The flames also touched her
face sufficiently to leave painful marks.
The glaasss she WINS wearing appar-
emily saved her eyes.
Miss Witt was working on porch
that is largely enclosed. The explod-
ing gas filled this space with flame,
broke out the glass in two doors Lead
ing into the house from the porch,
and the flame and smoke poured into
the house. Mr. Morris states that dam
age resulted amounting to from $500
to $500, but covered by insurance

Imperial Valley press., 1932-03-23

PHILADELPHIA, March 23. UP)
Sharp criticism of governmental
extravaganza and a suggestion that
wage earners and business men or
ganize solidly against it are offer
ed by Calvin Coolidge in an article
entitled "Debs and Taxes" in the
current Saturday Evening Post.
Scarcely anyone questions the
necessity of some increase of tax
rates and the imposition of new
taxes by the national government
to pay the present deficit" he
wrote. But it seems apparent that
such remedy ought only to be for
the existing emergency that must
be met to protect the pubic credit.
THE nation has the resources to
provide for such action, and they
must be used. But the only per-
manent remedy, the only relief for
high taxes, is a reduction of public
expenditures. Such reduction
must be made.
Almost all our governmental
units have been taxing, borrowing
and spending beyond the means of
the people to pay. Taxes are re-
naming unpaid. That causes forced
sales of property and destroys val
ueS. The credit of many units is
exhausted SO that no more money
can be borrowed by them.
"The local governments, on the
whole, have been the worst Of
tenders and find themselves in the

most serious difficulties. Nothing
but drastic retrenchment will re-
store them to financial health. It
will be a painful operation requir-
ing a good deal of executive ener-
gy, but it can be done. Unless it
is done, the suffering and want
that will result are beyond estima-
ton.
"The only remedy for the s1tua-
ton in which we find ourselves is
an aroused public opinion High
expenses have created great debts
and heavy taxes. The disaster these
have brought is felt most keenly
by the wage earners, but the source
of the evil is most apparent to our
business interests. Many of these
expenditures have been authorized
by the appropriating power almost
under dureSS. They did not want
to do it. But the pressure was
nearly all in one direction and
there was little encouragement from
the public in offering resistance.
The time has come for a COM
bination, on a partisan basis,
of wage earners and business men
for their mutual protection. They
need to be organized, alert and vo-
cal. Then the congress and other
bodies will listen because they feel
they have some support in resist
ing further expenditures and some
encouragement in pursuing policy
of retrenchment."
Coolidge pointed out the fallacy
of the theory that because the ma
tons wealth is more than S300,000,-
100000 its resources are SO unlimit-
eel it can pay any tax. Most of
this wealth cannot be used to pay
taxes, he says.
But collectors will not receive a
farm, a home, a mill, railroad, or
even an automobile. They want
cash or bank credits, and cash or
bank credits are strictly limited
Another policy advocated by some
is branded as economically unsound
in the article-the "Soak-the-R Rich"
slogan of some political dema-
gogues.
In the first place, Coolidge point
ed out, there are not enough suf-
ficiently rich people in the United
States to contribute enough from
their incomes to meet a deficit of
81 0,000,000; and even though it
might be possible and legal to con-
fiscate under the tax powers, the
situation would not be remedied be-
cause the rich could be taxed only
once. One tax would exhaust its
source.
The national credit is unques-
toned because of some caution in
| the years of plenty he said THE
states almost without exception can
readily meet their obligations; but
many local governments, some of
them large and important cities,
have impaired their credit; some
cannot meet their interest and pay
rolls. The effect on property values
in such localities is disastrous.
When public credit fails, private
credit is seriously affected banks
begin to close, and general liquid
alton follows
