Swing back to the memories
of that mans father who lived,
perhaps, 80 years. That father
was born into a world where
millions died without O. strug.
gle from smallpox. diptheria,
typhoid, yellow fever. bubonic
plague, believing such vista
lions to be the will of god.
Presently he saw science rise
in revolt against q million
years of superstition saw

filth that bred them saw

England, saw children of seven
deported in convict ships to
Australia for stealing buns!
CAPPED. as a baby. at q rotting
body dangling in chains beside

All that, within the memory
Of three lives. Add II to those
three-none Of them much over
90-and Jesus is dying on a
cross. men are being fed to
lions, burned like torches to
light a Nero'S garden party
sacrificed on Druid's mounds
where British priests now
murmur prayers.
Only 20 lives! And in that
time not only has the surface
of the world been changed, but
an even greater change has
come in the spirit of men.
For therein lies the miracle.

Strange enough that 20 pairs
of eyes could have seen It all
happen, but how much stranger
that it could have happened
in the brief spurts Of energy
possible between 20 births
and deaths.
A human life-what weak
and webbing thing 1t is! Eighty

rule, and out of those years,
possibly only forty in which the
blood is fully warm or the mind

must be handed on.

ONLY PASSED THROUGH
TWENTY PAIRS OF HANDS.

He looked at her steadily, realizing with
a definite yelling up of pain that she
had, then, been thinking of this for some
time. She had even made arrangements.
This was no sudden decision. He knew
there was nothing he could do to stop it.
"All right" he said. "If it's bluff I'll
call it. If it isn't, won't argue. Only do
me one favor, Joanie. Go quickly, will

Rep. Kahn Foresees Burden
Of Income Tax Mounting

The inequities I have seen and
learned of in talking to income
tax examiners almost leads one
to question the whole income tax
system. At least to ask whether
it can be made just to all classes.
Urbanites Hit
The city dwellers are paying
the taxes, and will continue to
do so. The processing taxes now
being levied to pay hundreds of
millions to farmers come out of
the pockets of city consumers.
The money paid farmers for mar
ginal lands also comes out of the
pockets of the city taxpayer and
very little of it finds it's way back
into his pocket.
The average city consumer is
paying a tax on all necessities of
life. The money goes to people
who have been largely in the non
taXpaying class. And this in itself
makes for greater burden for
the city consumer.
There is very little in our huge
expenditures for the city consum-
ers. The soldiers bonus payment
probably would put more money
into the hands of city consumers
than anything else. Most of the
other benefits are tranSitory.
