She slowly tore up the bill. and

YOUTH OF MORCANTOWN
CONFESSES CILLIS MURDER
Continued from Page One)


Terra Alta High school. (The purse
was found yesterday in cemetery.)
After the crime, Teets was quoted
as saying he hitch-hiked to Oakland,
then to Uniontown, Pa, and then back
to Morgantown.
The sheriff said Teets admitted he
went to ellis seeking job and after
ellis did not employ him, he decided
to rob him.
ellis was reputed to keep con-
siderable sum of money about his
home.
Mrs. Smith, who saw the man be-
lieved to have been the killer leave,
said she had visited ellis home early
Friday to borrow a wheelbarrow and
had been introduced to the stranger,
who said his name was Thomas. He
added that he was from Uniontown Pa.
He said he intended to purchase Terra
Alta land owned by ellis.
odW Hin huHIuHS
Soon after she returned to her
home, Mrs. Smith said she walked to
the front porch, from where she saw
the young man running from the Gill
lis residence.
"The stranger acted frightened as
he rushed from Mr.. ellis house and
disappeared" she said.
"Not thinking anything had hap
pened, returned to my work. How
ever, in about 20 minutes l began to
think perhaps something was wrong.
81 walked to the porch and called
Mr.. ellis.
Receiving no answer, l ran to his
house and opened the door. He was
on the floor in large pool of blood.
He died as l entered" the woman
added.
Officers said townspeople have for
several years told the story that the
bachelor greenhouse proprietor had
considerable money hidden in tin cans
in his home. Several persons had
reported seeing Teets, who rushed
from ellis house Immediately after
the murder, on previous occasions, and
it was generally understood that he
intended to purchase land.
Second Suspect Being Sought
Police of the tri-State area are now
searching for Dale Kramer, of Point
Marion, Pa, in connection with the
Staying following confession, said to
have been made by Teets, duplicating
Kramer. 1t was said the prisoner told
West Virginia police that Kramer pro-
vided him with a pistol and drove him
to ellis home.

Retailer Liable For Tax on Farm
Slaughtered Hogs

Farmers who slaughter hogs for
sale to retailers or other commercial
handlers will no longer be held res
ponsible for payment of the process
ing tax, according to information re-
ceived by ]. H. Carter, County Agent,
from officials of the AAA.
Under previous regulations, he
states, the farmers who slaughtered
hogs were responsible for payment of
the tax, both when they sold them to
commercial handlers and when they
sold them to consumers. The new
regulation transfers to commercial
handlers all liability for payment of
the processing tax on hog products de-
rived from hogs slaughtered by pro-
ducers and feeders. The status of the
farmer who slaughters hogs and sells
direct to consumers remains I'M
changed.
Mr.. Carter explains that producer
who slaughters his own hogs and sells
or exchanges directly to- consumers
not more than 300 pounds of the
products during any marketing year
is not required to pay the tax. If the
producer sells more than 800 pounds
but not more than 1000 pounds of
pork products from his own hogs di-
rect to consumers he is liable for the
tax only on the volume sold in excess
of the 300 pound exemption. If he
sells more than 1000 pounds during
any marketing year he loses his 300
pound exemption and is liable for the
tax on all products derived from his
hogs which he sold. The amount of
the tax which is 1925 per 100 live
weight is arrived at by using CONVEX
sion factors prescribed in the regula-
tons. Farmers who slaughter and sell
hogs not their own raising are not
entitled to the 300-pound exemption.
Any farmer who processes hogs for
consumption by his own family, en-
ployees, or household is exempt from
payment of the tax thereon.

HAS BUSINESS ANY RIGHT
TO PROFIT?

There are some people who believe
that the man who has made a success
of his business after years of close
application and industry, should be
crucifed.
Then there are other people who be-
lieve that if business would give up
the old fashioned idea of trying to
make a profit, our troubles would be
over.
What is profit anyway? How does
it fit into the American scheme?
Let's first see how business starts.
The people in this country want a
great many things. They want ease,
convenience, health, good food, educa-
ton, social advancement, better homes
and cars, radios, travel. They want
to be attractive and have a good time
The idea in starting any business
is to satisfy one of these universal
wants. If the business does that, and
is we'll managed, it grows into prof
liable enterprise. People are employed
and receive wages. Because dividends
are earned, other people are glad to
invest more of their savings. A COM
munity of homes, schools and churches
and hospitals grows up and is sup
ported by the business. Customers,
workers and investors all are benefited
and none is harmed.
Now suppose the business fails to
earn profit. Investors lose their
savings. Workers are laid off. Local
merchants are in trouble because GUS
toners cannot pay their bills. Mort
cages are foreclosed and homes are
lost. There comes hunger, unrest,
bread lines, sickness, under-nourished
children and increase of crime.
An improbable business benefits no
one. 1t is an economic cancer. Our
cities, states and national government
must collect about eight billion dollars
each year to keep going. Either this
money must come out of profits
earned by business or national wealth
must be confscated.
America has been built from prof
it's. Profits built our railroads, utili-
ties and industries employing millions
of workers. The incentive of profit
created the automobiles we ride in, the
electric convenience of our homes, the
safe and dependable commercial air
lines which are the marvel of the
world. Profit pays for the inventive
genius which almost daily produces
better materials and finer products.
Profit has paid for the research into
pure science which has meant so much
to our health.
After paying for materials, labor
and taxes, the average business rarely
earns more than six percent on the
money invested. Many enterprises
pay far more in taxes than in divi-
dends. In the past year, railroads
paid $249, 602,895 in taxes, or $2.61
taxes for each 81 dividend. This slen-
der margin of profit is the real differ
ence between sickness and rather fee
BILE health. Sturdy business health is
essential to national well-being and
prosperity.
And so, business has! more than a
right to make a profit-it has an
obligation to make a profit.
