Million Jobs Is Goal
of Babson Proposal

recommended that the following
clause be inserted in the income tax
law for such sums as a taxpayer in
vests during a taxable year in build
ing new small homes for sale or rent
or in taking second mortgages
thereon, he may deduct so per cent
of said sum from his surtax pay
ments.
4. Such a tax provision could re-
suit in the building and furnishing
of 10000 new homes which, when
the necessary streets. water. light
and other extensions are included.
should give additional employment
to approximately 100000 more per-
sons for a normal working year.
5. Furthermore, statistics indicate
that such a program would SO slim
ulate business in general that the
public treasury would get back in
additional corporation, normal in
come, real estate and other taxes
far more than would temporarily be
lost through this exemption on sur
taxes.
The above statements are based
upon statistical facts: Cd Money
paid to the federal government for
surtaxes comes wholly out of funds
which the taxpayer would other
wise be willing to risk on construc-
ton and new enterprises of various
kinds and not out of what he in
vests in high-grade securities.
90 Owing to the fact that for
every dollar paid in surtaXes there
is involved over $1,000 to total bust
ness. Surtaxes unconsciously be-
come a great factor in determining
general business.

SMOKED PORK RECEIVED
FOR FREE DISTRIBUTION

The Lincoln county relief committee
received Monday a shipment OF 100
pounds of smoked pork for free distri-
button to those on relief rolls. This was
reshipped over the county 50 as to give
it the widest possible distribution.
A bulletin received states that in
some instances this pork is too salty if
prepared by a direct cooking process.
1t is recommended that it be parboiled
before roasting or soaked over night in
water to remove excess salt.
This pork can be obtained by those
desiring it by applying at the usual

THE PLAYS.

The three one-act plays, as they were
presented last Friday, give proof Of
unusual talent that is possessed by the
faculty and students in Libby Il 5. in
writing, directing, and producing plays.
The first play, Confetti was a

Mann as aColumbine" were very pretty

is to be complimented for this play.
The tragedy, Back Swath,' demon

them in the cool of the morning when
they are torpid"
Mrs. Holmgren returns to Libby with
