HELP JObLESS

WILMINGTON, Del. Oct. IL. UP)
Ten thousand men will be gwen
work for the next two years if the
plans of Edward r. Armstrong
materialize.
Armstrong, formerly a research
engineer with the E. 1. dupont Du
Nemours company, has asked the
federal government to loan him
$50. 100000 for the construction of
five floating airdomes between the
United States and Europe.
The islands. which would be I'M
der American control, would pro-
vide landing fields for frequent
and safe transatlantic flying SER
vice. 3,
The seadrome route is no idle
dream, but a scientific project up
on which Armstrong has been
working for the past 90 years.
He has demonstrated the abil-
ity of the seadromes to withstand
waves and rough seas with a one
ton model. According to his plans,
the floating islands would be con-
structed in the Delaware Bay, off
Cape May, N. j., and towed to
their anchorage at sea.
Each island would contain no.
tel. airplane hangers, fast motor
launch for rescues in the event a
plane was forced down at sea, and
general repair shops. Present
plans call for a distance of $50
miles between the seadromes, or
about the same distance as be-
tween Washington and Buffalo,
N. Y.
Amphibian planes would be used.

Inventors Help
War On Rackets

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. u. U.R)-
Inventors have turned their genius
to assist the government in its
war against gangsters.
Two new inventions which will
be displayed here at the National
Inventors congress Nov. 81 to 25
were designed especially to aid
officers in handling gangsters. A
tear gas squirt gun made by a
"gang-conscious" Chicagoan can
be strapped to an officers forearm
and concealed by coat sleeve. A
button held in the wearer's hand
and connected by a string to the
gun would release 30-foot stream
of the tear gas liquid.

CANADA RADIO
LAW H|TSCARS

MONTREAL, Oct. IL. U.P-Can-
ada's radio law, which compels
United States tourists who travel
through Canada in automobiles
equipped with radio sets to take out
licenses. may be amended as a re-
suit of protests from tourist and
publicity bureaus throughout the
Dominion.
Recently it was discovered that
the law levying 50 tax on all ra-
dio sets operated in Canada in
cludes sets in automobiles whether
they belong to Canadians, or tour
lists, who enter the Dominion, even
if only for a few days visit.
A storm of protests was raised
by tourist organizations. who de-
clared that the law would act as
la boomerang to Canada's tourist
traffic and would cost the Domin-
ion millions of dollars in tourist
trade.
1t is understood that Depart
ment of Marine officials now are
studying the legal angel of the law
with view of amending it to eX-
empt American tourists. Mean
while, radio inspectors have been
instructed not to enforce the law
in the case of tourists who visit
Canada 'for a few days"

Small Farms Aid
To FiUe Families

BAKERSFIELD, Oct. IL U.P)-
A two-acre farm near here supports
five families.
The plot, called "the busiest
two acres in California" is owned
by c. d. Oldershaw, who farms it
with the aid of four heads of
families whom he hires. He raises
winter cucumbers on the land,
selling his product as far north

Nothing Is Done
About Taxicab Responsibility

The District Court of Appeals has called attention
toerabe condition with which everyone the city familiar
but about which nothing donethe utter lack of financial
responsibility Of taxicab owners and operators
In decision the appellate court traced the complex
ties through which axcab driver wends his way order

finding anyone who respond in damages caused by the
taxicab
For years efforts have been made to establish kind of
financial responsibility the part of these carriers
Numerous bills have been introduced in Congress and hun
ded Of resolutions have been adopted by civic organizations
The resolutions just about effective the bills and
the bills futile
Whenever anyone attempts to establish sound insurance

ing to other transportation agencies Of wanting
''the little fellow.
It is time that Congress realized that Washngtonans deserve
some measure Of financial protection the event Of receiving
injuries from the thousands of taxcab which operate the
Citys streets
This is question which affects every person in the city
Whether ride in taXcabs whether don't you
be the victim of an accident in which cab figures
Every citizen it to his family well himself
insist that Congress take steps compel axab operators

We require that responsibility the of other ranspor

Pay In Proportion

Now, Floor Leader Byrns Of
Tennessee and Charm a n
Doughton of South Carolina
must know better. Their desks
are swamped with appeals
from wage earnerS and wage
payers to finance the Presi-
dents public works program by
means of a sales tax Of the
Canadian type.
But like so many of their
brethren in both Houses, Mr..
Byrns and Mr.. Doughton, are
afraid to go home and admit
that they were wrong in oppos-
ing a sales tax in the last
campaign. They lack the cour-
age to take their constituents
into their confidence.
The sad part about this hu"
initiating breakdown of repre-
sentative government in Con-
gresS is the heavy penalty it inn
poses upon the mass of Amer
lean taxpayers. While they are
paying through the nose the
billions demanded by the Fed
eral government, their Cana"
dian neighbors are enjoying the
benefits of a democratic system
of taxation which is fair and
effective, and easily and eco
nomically administered.
Under the Canadian system OF
sales tax the rich pay more be-
cause they spend more, The
poor pay less because they
spend less. Every citizen pays
in proportion to what he spends
Congress knows these facts
but it lacks the courage to fol-
low where they lead, and the
price of this cowardice Is paid
by the people.

the close vote of ten to nine.
When Congress can be con-
vinced that the people of this
country also know about
the iniquities of the income tax
system and the advantages OF
the Canadian sales tax system,
Congress will follow Canada's
example and raise enough reve-
nue. by means of a general
manufacturers sales tax.
This is not representative
government of the sort which
the American system was de-
signed to establish. 1t is rub
ber stamp government for
which a cowardly Congress is
to blame.
The majority leader of the
House of Representatives made
his campaign for reelection last
year as an opponent OF the
Canadian system of taxation.
So did the present chairman

Mountain Suicide

The greatest of all these mar
vels is the crater of Katmai.
That tremendous pock-mark in
the pitted face of Alaska was
made 20 years ago, when Kat
mai let go with a roar that
shook the earth. An innocent,
ice-covered mountain up to
then, Katmai blew its head
off in a vast cataclySm which
hurled volcanic dust into the
skies above the desert of
Sahara. Five and one-half
cubic miles of rock and molten
lava belched into the quivering
heavens. Eight hundred miles
away that giant report was
heard by human ears.
Lucky for the world that
Katmai stood in Arctic wastes
and not within a hundred miles
or so of some great city.
AS it was, the frightful erup-
ton killed millions of birds,
whose bodies Uttered land and
sea for miles around. 1t
buried thousands of deer and
caribou under 20 feet of ashes.
Not a breath of life or a
thing of living green survived
within a radius of 300 miles.
1t was Father Hubbard who
stood upon the brink of this
disemboWeled mountain, gazing
down into it's still throbbing
and smoking entrails. Straight
down for one mile his gaze
Travelled to a picture of the
internal regions such as Dante
drew. He looked down into
the frightful ruin of a noun
tain which had committed
suicide. It's breath-taking i'm
mensity stunned him like a
blow. A circle of brilliant
colors dropping down, down,
interminably down to the blue
of impossible depths.
Such rewards are the end OF
the rainbow for this intrepid
priest. What matters 21-hour
climb over perilous, icy slopes,
So hours in a blizzard, Starva-
tion, if, after all, one can gaze
down into the broken heart OF
a mountain?

Painless Tax

Committees of both Houses
have made a thorough study OF
the general manufacturers
sales tax which has enabled
Canada to raise it's revenue by
a well-nigh painless method.
Extensive hearings on the
Canadian system have been
held. Eminent economists have
testified. Representatives Of
organized business and organ
lied labor have appeared as
witnesses. An avalanche OF evil
dence has descended upon the
Congress in support of gen.
eral manufacturers sales tax.
And on top of this evidence
has been piled the recent
revelations regarding the ease
with which citizens Of great
wealth can escape their share
of the tax burden under the
present indefensible system OF
income tax racketeering.
But Congress is afraid that
the people do not know how
much better Canada solves her
tax problems than does the
United States.
Congress distrusts the intelli-
gence of the plain people. Con-
gress is too timid to appeal to
their intelligence but keeps on
appealing to what Congress be-
lieves is their prejudice and
ignorance.
This is why the House re-

Modern science has it's modest
heroes, though they wear the
crest of courage like the white
plume of Navarro. A great adven-

Apostle of the Glaciers,
Father Bernard r. Hubbard OF
the Society of Jesus. Father
Hubbard is now on his seventh

that somewhere in the Valley

will locate the worlds largest
live volcano. He feels so cer-
tain that he says calmly:
II am ready to call my shot

It was Just two and a half
years ago that Father Hubbard
startled the world of science
by calling his shot in ad-
vance," by predicting the ter
rifle eruption of the great vol
cano of Aniakchak in the
Aleutian Islands. For $50 years
old Aniakchak had growled
and smoked, but the Jesuit
priest, studying his moods,
penetrated the secret of his
long suppressed rage and was
ready when the great volcano
blew up with a roar that
startled half a continent.

Congress is showing the same
cowardice in dealing with taxa
ton that long disgraced its
record in regard to prohibition.
It was not lack of intelligence
that caused Congress, year after
year, to keep the people OF this
country under the yoke of pro-
hibition. 1t was lack Of cour-
age.
Finally, the people revolted
against the cowardice of Con-
gress. They repudiated the
pusillanimous record OF Con-
gress on prohibition. They
voted into power an administra-
ton and a Congress pledged
to rid this country of the curse
of prohibition.
It is not lack of intelligence
that makes the Congress finch
from emancipating this coun-
try from the racket into which
our iniquitous and obsolete tax
system has degenerated. It is
lack of courage.
Congress knows well enough
and a majority of the Sena-
tors and Representatives IN
Congress would probably pri-
vately admit-that Canada has
better tax system than the
United States. And Congress
knows, also, why the Canadian
tax system would be a great i'm

FOR THE SECRET OF
FREEDOM DOESN'T LIE

YOU CAN'T FIND 1T IN

NONE OF THESE THINGS

THERE IS ONLY ONE FREE

1T IS FREEDOM FROM

THE FOOLISH THINGS

What's holding you back?
Your own nature.
But aren't there other awful
handicaps which hold us all
back? Poverty, illness, the
wrong environment, the wrong
birth, mans cruelty to man
don't these things hold us all
back?
They do. And I know of no
way by which any one man
can lick these things. Release
from them must come. If it
ever does come, through the
growth of evolution of the
whole human race. And if
you're looking for a panacea

anyone who promises to give

So, you might as well make
up your mind before you even
start that you'll have to do
without a great many pleasant
things in life, and endure a
great many unpleasant things.
Yet, in spite of this. you can
have the pleaSantest thing in
life-the only thing that really
counts. YOU CAN HAVE
FREEDOM.
FOR FREEDOM CONSISTS
NOT IN GETTING THE LIFE
YOU WANT, BUT IN BEING
ABLE TO BEAR AND USE
AND ENJOY THE LIFE YOU
GET.
Freedom means release, not
from cramped pocketbook
and a crippled leg, but from a
cramped brain and a crippled
heart.
Freedom means victory, not
over the other fellow, or from
adverse Fate, but over yourself
over your own fear and hate,
ignorance and impulsiveness,
Stiffness and greed.
There is only one freedom,
and that is it.
There is only one shackle on
your life-AND YOU ARE IT!

self, and nothing in heaven
