Spy Ring as Powers
Prepare for New War

PARIS, Dec. .20-Five men and five
women, including an American
couple, were arrested by French
secret police today in raids on what
is described as an international spy
ring.
With the sharpening Of the i'm
perialist antagonisrns and the frantic
preparations for war, such arrests are
becoming increasingly frequent in
this and other capitalist countries,
as the spies of various imperialist
powers try to ferret out the military
secrets of their rivals.

RENOvIZE THE UNITED STATES

Elghty-flve per cent of Americans
are inadequately housed. S~eventy-five per
cent live in hand me down quarters bare
of modern comforts and c~onveniences.
Where our annual building expenditure
in 1928 was Sc, $4,000 it was only 2 bill
lion last year.
These facts appear in an editorial
In the C~lairsville, Ohio, Chronicle. And.
as the editorial further points out, there
are sound indications that a major build
ing revival is on its way. Every American
desires better living conditions; millions
OF Americans have been prevented from
achieving them the past few years either
because OF financial stress or fear of the
future. That fear is now being allayed-
recovery has started, and it can be seen
in all parts. of the country. Men are going
back to work, factory chimneys are
finding their way into pockets from
where they will 60 to buy the necessities
OF life. A good part Of those dollars will
either be used to build new homes, or re-
build and modernize old ones.
It's time for a national campaign
to "Renovize the United States" That
would speed recovery and be the most
potent influence that could be brought to
play in stabilizing price levels and pro-
viding employment.
Remember that employment and
investment are better and cheaper than
charity. Remember, too, that in a few
months, when the building boom gets I'm
derway, prices are going up and are go
ing to stay up. Get in on the building
bargains" while they are still being offer
ed.

PAYROLLS VS.. TAXES

The time has arrived when the
people-laboring mar and capitalist
feel the pinch of taxation with equal
force. Take the specific case Of the man
with $4,000 invested, the widow with
$500 invested, or the laboring man with
a job, in the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company of San Francisco.
This company had its taxes raised by
the last California Legislature, S1,15O,-
600. Congress placed a 80 tax on the
production of electricity used for dom
este and commercial purposes, which
added another million a year. Congress
also levied a tax on the company's stock
which amounted to another $2OO,O 900. On
top of this Congress placed a tax Of so
on all dividends to stockholders, which
meant another million, and ordered the
company to deduct the SO before sending
out dividend checks. Leaving out the
$1,OOO,O00 to be collected from stockhold-
ers, this company's total tax bill for a
year will now exceed $10,000,O 600.
Compare this sum with the wages
and salaries paid by the company for
1888, which amount Of SIS, 100000. For
each Sl.5O paid IN wages the company
must pay 81 to tax collectors-state, fed
eral and municipal.
What becomes Of savings, and
earnings on the same, for thousands Of
stockholders who have worked and shaved
to accumulate a few dollars to put into an
industry which would pay them a reason
able annual return? What is the future
prospect for additional jobs for thou
sands of laboring men, clerks, and other
employees of a company that has to pay
out a dollar in taxes for each dollar and
one-half of wages and salaries?
Another five or ten years Of pro
portionate tax increases and there will be
no money for jobs.
Think it over. When you break a
private. company with taxation, who will
furnish the revenue for government,
which the tax-exempt government-owned
enterprise now escapes?

stead, a large new type silo, a silo within
a silo stores both ensilage and dry feed
and reduces fire hazards. Two small
structures store grain which is trans
ported by electric conveyor systems.
In the fields Of this farm, he would see
still more startling things. Even the tract
or, thought up-to-date a short time ago,
has been dispensed with, its place taken
by an electric cable plough which makes
its way about the field carrying its own
self-winding cable. There are no power
poles to interfere with work or mar the
farms appearance-all the Institutional
lines are underground.
AS a matter of fact, the farmer of
thirty years ago wouldn't be the only one
to stare with unbelieving eyes at the ex-
hibit. Today's average farm is still waste
full and inefficient, exacting a maximum
OF hard labor for a minimum Of result.
The exhibit at the worlds fair shows
what the farm of the future will be like
in a really new agricultural era"
The Omaha guide., 1933-08-12

'The Board of Supervisors today recon-
mended a tax rate of $1.48, which, with
the estimated state rate of AT cents, will
make the total rate for the year $1.95."
Chapter Pin the same edition Of
the Chronicle: "The Board of Supervisors
is enforcing the strictest economy in it's
budget this year 1888. Nevertheless the
tax rate will be $3.75.'
San Francisco isn't in a class by
itself. Virtually every community has
had the same experience 80 some a great
deal worse. If government keeps loading
up with new propositions which continual
ly require more tax funds, how will indus
try and the private citizen pay the bill
ten years hence? Think this over when
you vote for schemes that require the
raising Of public funds through taxation
or otherwise.

THE TRADEMARK COUNTS
What do you see when you look

WHdI no you see When you ooh at
a fire engine?
You see steel and brass and wood
and paint. You see an object that is very
similar to a large motor truck, with the
addition Of a number of interesting and
unusual gadgets. And, believe it or not.
you are not seeing the real fire engine is
under the paint and brass. It's inside the
motor and the differential and transmits
sion. It's at the heart Of the pump. You'll
never see it-only the makers, and per-
haps the mechanics who keep it in condi-
ton, ever do. And if you could see it you
probably wouldn't know whether it is
good or bad-that's a job for the engineer
and the expert.
This being true, the average citi-
zen naturally asks how a good fire en-
CINE can be told from one that isn't quite
so good. That isn't a difficult, question to
answer. He can tell from the name on the
radiator-precisely as his only test Of a
good watch is the name on the dial. In the
case Of many products, we take quality
for granted - because the makers have
been making quality articles, with never
a deviation, for decades. That is true Of
the pioneer standard fire apparatus
makerS-quality comes first with them.
and all other considerations run a poor
second.
When your community buys fire
apparatus, see that it looks at the trade
mark.

AMERICANS DEVELOPING CHAR
ACTERISTICS OF THRIFT

In a recent month sales Of ordinary
life Insurance were but 10 per cent below
the same month last year-an experience
representing the smallest monthly de-
crease for a year ad a half. It likewise is
a very favorable record in comparison
with other basic industries.
Now that recovery has really
started-that the wheels Of industry are
turning steadily faster - the life insur-
ance industry has every right to expect a
bright future. Mr.. Average Citizen has
learned much in three years. He has
learned that to look for quick and gig
antic profits on a small investment is to
court bankruptcy. He has learned that
security and safety are the true arbiters
OF any investment. Life insurance offers
these-plus benefits nothing else can Of
fer.
Every time another life insurance
policy is sold, another American has de-
monstrated a growing national charact-
eristic of thrift, foresight and wisdom.

THE NEW AGRICULTURAL. Err

It would be an interesting thing if
a farmer OF thirty years ago could be
suddenly transported to the Chicago
Worlds Fair and shown the model ex-
hlbit Of electricity at work in agriculture.
As the saying goes, his eyes would
pop out. He would see chickens treated
with ultra violet rays, and their hours Of
rest and work controlled bv LIGHT. Cows
IN a scientifically built lactery are auto
matlcally washed and then MIXED by
sanitary, efficient electric equipment.
Electric cooling and bottling equipment
has superseded old hand methods. There
are no hay lofts in the modern barn-in.

THE OTHER HALF
Many automobile drive

Many automobile drivers who
think they know all about the right-of-
way law understand only the half of it.
In answer to question, "Who has the right
of-Way?" the average driver would quick
ly reply, 1.-The man on the right" The
answer is partially correct but isn't COM
plete.
The best statutes on the subject
say; "The car or the right has the right
of-way provided it enters the intersection
first, but if the car on the left happens to
be first into the intersection, the car on
the right must yield"
Maxwell Halsey, Traffic Engineer
OF the National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters, says the best way
to climate confusion on this point is for
all cars to slow down when approaching
intersections. I'm this way drivers will
be able to gauge each others distance
and obey the law with greater conven-
fence.
"The driver of a car approaching
from the right has no justification to
suppose that all traffic must stop to per
NIT him to cross. This attitude has pro-
duced q high toll Of accidents. More than
twice as many accidents occur at inter
sections as between intersections. Last
year, 2,43O persons were killed and 1884,
a5O injured in 1865 0 accidents resulting
from misunderstanding over the right
of-way."
State laws should be clarified in
order to coincide with common ems and
the free flow of traffic. If this is done.
another bad hazard will be eliminated.
Meanwhile, motorists, slow down at in
tersections.

WE REAP WHAT WE .sOwED

III a murderer or a thief were to be
aided toward escape by a citizen, he
would be All accomplice after the fact and
be subject to punishment as such. But the
kidnaper not only has the assistance of
the friends and family of his victim but
actually commands the acquiescence of
the officers of the law in his crime.
' The United States was threatened
a decade ago by the Ku Klux Khan, which
put forth a claim of high moral purposes
as the reason why it should be allowed to
set up a supergOvernment to which re-
.gularly elected officials would be sub
servient.
Today a supergovernment is made
up Of men who make no claim of good
ness. They boast their intention to COM
NIT crime and for that boast are paid
hard cash in staggering sums.
Having accepted the notification
Of its laws because only Negroes were
cheated, the United States has come to
see its most favored citizens outraged
and itself standing with hands tied and
It's tongue silent. The lesson is plain to
see,-nO man and no nation can set his
feet on the wrong path and say so far
Will ! 60 and no farther" The way of the

WHEN GAS WAS FIRST USED

One hundred and twenty-five years
ago London became the first CITY in the
world to use gas street lights, installing
a system along Pail Mall.
The response was universally unfav-
orable. Cartoonists showed innocent
citizens being choked to death by the new
illuminant. Sir Walter Scott, greatest
OF the ~novelsits of adventure, spoke of
the da-man's scheme for lighting the
city with smoke" Another we'll known
parsonage observed that it would be as
easy to light London with a piece Of the
moon as with gas.
Electricity, when first employed, met
much the same reception. Pioneers of
great industries are often the victims Of
jibes and abuse.

THE T OF SILVER

Silver: SO n One-half cents per
ounce.
That quotation probably doesn't
explain much to you. But it means that
the poor mans gold recently touched its
highest level since May, 1890.
During three long years Of depres-
sion silver has been on the bargain count
-er-it's been offered at fire-sale prices.
And that statement, too, explains little
until cause and effect are related, until it
is expressed in the terms Of purchasing
power, trade among nations, jobs. The
collapse of silver was the principal eco
nomic aus of the decline in world trade
"a decline which finally became a rout.
More than half the worlds people saw
their purchasing power drop to less than
half Of former levels, and factories all
over the world, here and in England and
Germany and elsewhere, closed because
cheap silver had taken their markets
from them.
Silver is coming back. And that
means that prosperity is coming back in
a dozen states and in a score of great in
dustries. It means that men are going to
work, and that great markets are again
going to open up.
