THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETY'S CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

said: Wherefore should the Egypt
ians say, for mischief did he bring
them up, to slap them in the noun
tains, and to consume them from the
face of the earth" Moses reminded
God of his covenant with Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, once more turning
aside well-merited punishment from
the unworthy. Nevertheless the people
were not allowed to escape entirely.
To them was administered the first
Kelly cure of history.
Moses took the calf which they had
made and "burnt it in the fire and
ground it to powder and strewed it
upon the water and made the chill
dren of Israel drink of it." 1t seems
to US that Aaron should have been
compelled to drink the first and larg-
est draught.
Then Moses took Aaron to task,
saying: "What did this people unto
thee, that thou hast brought so great
sin upon them?" Aaron's reply to
this challenging question reveals his
almost objectionable weakness and in
sufficiency. In the language of our day
Aaron was yellow, for thus he offers
his excuses to the brother whom he
feared: "Let not the anger of my
Lord wax hot: thou knowest the peo-
pie that they are set on mischief. And
said unto them, whatsoever hath any
gold, give it me: then I cast it into
the fire and there came out this calf"
While Moses prayed for the Israel
ties as people, he melted out an addi-
tional punishment to the leaders of
this religious revolt. Standing in the
gate of the camp, he called: "Who is
on the Lords side? Let him come unto
mel" And all the sons of Levi gath
cred themselves unto him. Aiming the
Levites with swords Moses sent them
throughout the camp with orders to
Stay all who had been responsible for
the recent orgies before the altar of
Osiris. Three thousand were slain.
Aaron, doubtless because of his Iela-
tionship to Moses, as well as for the
sake of his priestly character, was
spared.

BOOTLEGGERS ARE STILL
WITH US

Wednesday was the first anniver-
sary of repeal of prohibition. About
all in it's favor to be said is the U. S.
Treasury at Washington figures a
gain in revenue of $400,000,000 in
taxes. The contention that the boot
logger was to be put out of business
has gone glimmering. Crime, corrup-
ton, racketeering and rum-running
goes on with complacency of the ma
tons citizenry. While this large tax
figure is appealing to the taxpayer,
industries have suffered in conse-
quence of TALBOT in business. Man
ufactures of carbonated drinks have
suffered most. Coca-cola has a decline
of receipts of nearly fifty per cent.
Ice cream, movies and other lines ben
Gifted by prohibition during the years
of its operation have also suffered
heavily in declining receipts.
The claimed increase in employment
is disappointment even to the advo-
CdCeS VI repeal ana IHe treasury OIL
Gals and labor leaders. 1t is significant
that unemployment troubles have not
been solved, for the number of unem-
ployed has not materially been reduced
according to the expert commentators.
So it would appear that repeal is
falling short of accomplishing the
beneficial results its advocates so lust
lily proclaimed year ago.
In many quarters one. hears the pre-
diction that the pendulum has already
begun to swing back to prohibition.
This regulation of the liquor traffic
question continues the burning issue
of the day, and will continue SO, while
money is poured into excessive taxes
for revenue and run-drinking takes
the major part of the income of many
homes.
After all, can it nationally be ex-
pected that real net benefit comes
out of the liquor traffic?

in one section of New York City with
the help of the Millbank Memorial
Fund, cooperating with the estab-
lished health agencies.
Before the program of health edu-
cation was begun, there were so
deaths year from diphtheria in that
district. During the last 80 months
there has not been a single death
from that cause and the diphtheria
case-rate has dropped from 1877 per
100000 to "a.
The pulmonary death rate there has
gone from 100 per 100000 to 90, a de-
crease of 20 percent. In the same
time the decrease for the Borough of
Manhattan was only 4 percent.
In the fve-year period before the
health demonstration the infant NOR
tally was 95 per 1000 live births.
The decrease from 1929-33 was 20
percent, as compared with a per-
cent drop for Manhattan.
Even accidents have shown a great
decrease. Some of the busiest thor
oughfares of the city pass through the
district, but the number of persons
injured there in the first six months
of 1884 was S46, against 1,575 in the
same period of 1927.
The Millbank Fund contributed
$1,0O0,0O0 to the work. Its invest
ment in health has clearly paid huge
dividends to the community.

JAMES III. FAUZY

James H. Fauzy, a native of Gar

two daughters. The funeral was con-

those 10 years was $50 per cent.

In order to bring this home to the
average men Mr.. johnson says:
"Taxes today are taking over 81
per cent of our national income, as
against only IL per cent in 1922. In
other words, directly or indirectly, the
average American working a full five
day week works all Of Monday and
part of Tuesday morning to pay his
taxes. That is not the worst of it, be-
cause our governmental expenditures
are at the rate of about Al per cent
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-12-13

But Percy H. Johnson, president of
the Chemical Bank and Trust Com
pany, of New York, in radio address
recently, gave some strikingly con-
crete examples of what high taxes
mean to the American people. The
address was reproduced in the Novem-
Der, 1884, issue of the Southern Ban
ker. Mr.. johnson pointed out that we
shall soon arrive at the doubtful dis
tinction of being the most heavily
taxed nation on earth, principally be-
cause our expenditures and taxes have
risen so rapidly since 1913. Total
public expenditures, exclusive of debt
redemption, Mr.. johnson tells US, rose
from $780, 100000 in 1918 to $13,-
500,000,000 in 1882, an increase of 1863
per cent and they are estimated at
$4,000, 100000 for this year. At the
same time our total public debt rose
from $4,850, 100000 in 1918 to $780,
822,0OO,0O0 in 1882. 1t is of course
much higher today, but the increase in
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-12-13

The largest single item in most
budgets today is for debt service, Mr..
Johnson points out, and instead of
trying to reduce expenditures the var
ious governmental units are seeking
new methods of taxation for trying
out on an already overburdened peo-
pie. Continuing, Mr.. Johnson says:
"Let me translate the meaning of
those debts into common language.
Formerly when man burned the last
mortgage on his home he felt justi-
fable pride in owning it "free and
clear and it meant something. Today
there is not such a thing in this city
New York; because the State and
city debts are in effect contingent
underlying first mortgage to the ex-
tent of II per cent on every piece of
privately owned real estate"

MRS. SARAH ELIZABETH HYDE

Funeral services for Mrs. Sarah
Elizabeth Hyde were held Sunday ev-
ening, December 9th, at her home,
622 West 114th street, New York
City, where she died Friday of a heart
attack following long illness.
Mrs. Hyde was the daughter of the
late John and Rebecca Cornelius and
the widow of the late F. G. Hyde. She
resided in Oakland many years and
took an active interest in church work,
and also in the business life of the
community until her health failed and
she removed to New York. Mrs. Hyde
is survived by four devoted sisters:
Mrs. ]. Leyden White and Mrs. H. B.
Ramsdell, of New York; Mrs. H. A.
Paddock, of Chicago, and Mrs. James
D. Hamill, of Oakland; also by three
nephews: J. Leyden White, Jr., of
Chicago; Harvey and John Allcott, of
Hollywood, California, and by three
nieces: Misses Frances and Isabel
Hamlll, Oakland, and Mrs. GeneVleVe
Paddock Austin, of Chicago.
Mrs. Hyde will be missed by them
as we'll as by large circle of friends,
for regardless of being "shut-in"
and a great sufferer, she had the abil-
ity to radiate friendship. She had an
abiding faith in Him who ruleth the
affairs of men and who in the ulti-
mate, although one cannot sometimes
see it in the shortened vision of this
life, doeth all things well. So let US
be comforted.
"There is no death! What seems so is
transition:
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"

of our national income. This means
that within a year or two years taxes
will probably have been increased to
the point where it will be Tuesday
noon before your average American
can begin to work for himself"

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Mark Twain once said that there
was more discussion of the weather
and less done about it than any other
public question. Right along with the
weather, in this respect, we desire to
place the subject of taxation. There is
lot of talk about taxation every
where and little done about it. Unfor-
tunately when anything is done, It is
generally the wrong thing. Newspap-
ers and public addresses are full of
tax statistics and warnings of what
the American people are up against,
but they are apparently unable to
bring the lesson home to the great
majority of our people. Perhaps this
is because the discussion of taxation
is apt to be abstract and theoretical,
and the fellow who is being hardest
hit by high taxes doesn't realize that
he is being injured.

sHUFFlIR FOR YOURSELF

If the people of this country don't
quit watching the daily doings Of
the National government they
mustn't lay it to President Roose-
welt. He has sailed away for a
month and a day in a beautiful pea
green boat-or perhaps it is some
other color. The President says cab
met officers should lay-off for a
month, too. To make things definite
he started in by "shooing" Con-
gress out of Washington.
Evidently the big idea is that the
Government has done everything
that could be done; everything that
was to be done. So, lot of ne'er-dO-
wells and chronic unemployed who
wouldn't take work II II was offer
ed to them will have to shuttle for
themselves-and that ought to be
good thing for everybody.
Meanwhile. according to official
reports. those who are willing and
anxious to work are finding it less
difficult to secure employment. Yes,
things are really getting better,
right along now. With everybody
doing their own shuffling the i'm
provement should continue.
