farmer are they themselves paying
reduction they may receive.
So much for the sources of the sales
tax in Iowa. The results of the tax
on the welfare and prosperity of the
state is another story.
Dissatisfaction with the sales tax is
already widespread on the part of
Iowa business men and merchants.
The tax is slowing up trade and re-
tarding business recovery, they con-
tend. The claim has been made by
wealthy interests that state income
taxes drive out business and industry.
In Iowa there are definite indications
that business really is being driven
out. IOwanS are reported to be going
to neighboring states by the thou
sands to buy automobiles, radios, farm
machinery, furniture, and other ar
ticles to avoid. the state tax. And
buyers from outside the state who
formerly crossed state lines to shop in
Iowa cities are staying away. Du-
buque, for instance, used to enjoy a
profitable trade from Grant county,
Wisconsin, that now has been greatly
diminished by the sales tax.
There is group in Iowa, however,
that is quite satisfied with the sales
tax and its results. That is the big in
come crowd as exemplifed by the big
utility interests, banks, and corporate
wealth. In Iowa as elsewhere they
have always sought to avoid paying
their share of the cost of the depres-
sion, and the sales tax is their best
avenue of escape. To the poor and
needy. however, the sales tax in Iowa
is only one more parcel of misery and
privation added to their already heavy
load.

WRITER'S AT SALTWATER
saltwater Post MeSSanger)

saltwater has been hOnOred and
stimulated recently by the presence
here of two distinguished literary
figures, far apart in the character of
their work, but together in their SYM
pathetic response to the lives and
problems of the people around them.
They were Sherwood Anderson, who
has written brilliantly and with deep
insight of the American scene, in in
dustrial centers and in rural COM
munities; and Gertrude Stein, the
American who has lived in Paris for
half her lifetime, where she has be-
friended countless artists and devel-
oped into one of the best informed on
modern painting and who writes
poetry which is rhythm without
rhyme, and which has caused abOu.

NO TIME LOST

The ruthless manner in which the
Russian government handled the sus-
pected murders Of an official in that
country has stirred the world. Just
why those who may have been plot
ting against the government should
not have been given a fair trial Is
big question. The average citizen
or layman will not know if the lives
of some innocent people were taken
by the government.
Concerning this upheaval in Rus
sian affairs, The Nation in its cur
rent issue writes as follows:
THE murder of Sergei M. Kirov was
undoubtedly a shock to the Russian
people and their leaders. 1t was the
first political assassination in four
teen years; it ended the career Of a
useful and loyal official; it suggested
at least the possibility of an organized
anti-government plot. But these cir
cumstances provide no excuse for the
ruthless and bloody reprisal Of the
Soviet government. Sixty-six out Of
seventy-one suspects rounded up by
the police were tried and convicted
in closed courts without counsel or
the privilege Of appeal and were i'm
mediately shot. This summary act
will echo in every country in the
world. Instead of asserting the
strength and Stability of the Soviet
government it creates doubts which
had been almost banished by the
growing liberalism of Bolshevik rule.
A strong government does not ordi-
narily meet assassination by mass
terror; it proceeds in the open, CIV
ing suspects the benefit of legal pro-
lection. But the Soviet government
is in fact strong and safe from sue
cessful counter-revOlutionar attack.
Why, then, should it behave as if it
were in the throes of revolution or
civil war? An answer is to be found
in the obvious fact that repression
breeds repression; that fear and the
violence that grows out of it persist
long after the original reason for
them has disappeared. The develop
ment of legal safeguards in Soviet
Russia was a frail growth; at the
first breath of opposition terror
sprang up, full blown. The Sow {
government could not have chosen a
worse moment to revive the method
of terror. The world had come to
look to Germany for exhibitions of
and to Russia for an ex-
ample of orderly progress toward re-
sponsible craftsmanship. The recent
mass execution makes it plain that
the day of true revolutionary Justice
has not arrived

ADVICE ON DRIVING AN AUTO
dakota County Tribune)

Alb Jenkins gives some good and
timely advice on auto driving. He
should know because he holds more
American Association records for
speed and endurance than any other
driver. Alb says:
1. Keep both hands on the wheel
1.-The only two people l know who
are Eddie Rickenbaker and Ralph De
Palma-and both of them use two
hands"
2. Keep the best tires on the front
wheels.
1.-The front wheel blowout is by far
the more dangerous. When blow-outs
do happen, danger can be averted by
clinging stoutly to the steering
wheel"
g. Always test your brakes.
During the first hundred yards Of
driving, | always test my brakes by
pushing down the pedal. The brakes
may have frozen, they may be greasy
or need adjustment"
4. Be extremely careful at twilight.
"You have three times the accident
hazard at twilight that you have at
s a. m. Defective visibility is, of
course, the reason. Remember, too,
that nighttime crashes have AZ per
cent higher fatality than daylight &C
cidents.
5. Don't use brakes in a skid.
ITO come out of a skid throw out
your clutch and maneuver the steer
ing wheel so that the front wheels
are in alignment with the rear ones.
In other words, go in the skid: Brak-
ing is Intellectual. Your main con-
Germ is to equalize traction on ell
four wheels, which you do by throw
ing out your clutch; your next move
is to get all your wheels in line. AS
soon as you feel the skid weakening,
let in the clutch, gun the motor, and
resume forward progress.
6. Study the road.
always reduce speed when passing
from one type of road to another.
Your right wheel should be approx
imately one and one-half feet from
the outer edge of the highway. Run

BORN INTO BONDAGE

Ninety-eight out of every hundred
children born in this land Of plenty
come into the world with a milestone
of debt around their necks.
In the case of the City of New
York the public Indebtedness, federal.
state, city and local, amounts to $610
for every man, woman, and child.
What birthday present this is for
SO out of every 100 newborn babes?
The other two come into the world
with an Inheritance of millions Of
dollars in property and a mortgage
of 100000 against the unfortunate
nfnety-efght.
If this civilization shall endure, it
is high time that this social system
were changed.
Instead of being born into life Of
servitude, every child should be en-
dOwed with sufficient income to en-
able its parents to bring it up under
a decent standard of living and edu-
cation.
With the fnexhaustible natural re-
sources of the nation and its tremen-
dOus mass production facilities and
man power, together with the elimin-
alton of interest ON the public debt
in other words, the issuance of cur
rency instead of bonds, this could
easily be accomplished.
But it is up to the common people
to make the demand. Your banker
will not do it for you. Write the
president, your congressman and SEN
ator and demand action.

PROPER RATIONING
OF STOCK FOOD IS
NECESSARY IF SHORT

The News Bureau of the University
Farm sent out bulletin calling at
tention to careful rationing of live
stock on many farms where there is
limited supply of feed First of all
the bulletin would fit the livestock
numbers with the available feed sup
plies and then advises the following
method of feeding:
Give farm work horses first con-
supply. For cows in milk, provide the
best quality roughage available, but
feed less grain-as little as one-half
the normal amount if farm supplies
are very limited. Since hogs are pri-
marily grain-eating animals, few
changes in their rations are prac-
ticable, but farmers having plenty of
alfalfa hay and little grain might well
replace about one-third of the brood
sow's grain ration with an equal
weight of alfalfa hay.
For each mature COW or steer, dur
ing 2O0-day feeding period. provide
Pa tons of corn slower, lowland hay
straw, Sudan grass or millet hay, and
for each mature sheep about coo
pounds of such roughage for the same
period In addition, feed each ma.
ture cow or steer one pound daily, and
each mature sheep one-fifth pound
daily of linseed meal, corn gluten
meal or soybean meal. With each
100 pounds of concentrate. mix
pounds of ground limestone, OF high

DANGEROUS DRIVERS

The thing that is more dangerous to
automobile traffic than a drunken
driver are two drunken drivers. 1t
derous gunman is not as dangerous at
large as the drunk man behind the
wheel of an automobile. The gum
man can be surrounded, ambushed and
captured, but drunken driver on the
crowded highway-well, that is a diff
pile up a whole string of cars, killing
or injuring several as he is to drive
his own car up telephone pole.
A person in his right mind would
not think of blindfolding himself and
then drive on the pavement, but many
people in their right minds will de-
liberately load up on liquor to the
intoxication point, knowing full well
that they will get out on the highway
and perhaps injure or kill some one.
Thus the crime becomes just as great
as if the man would deliberately go
out while sober and crash the traffic
lanes.
Possibly the best remedy for the in
creasing wave of drunken driving will
be for more local and state police Of
ficers to pick up all violators try them.
convict them and report their conduct
to the State Drivers License Bureau.
Many of these drivers would not care
to walk for a period of six months or
year while their neighbors are driv-
ing.
Liquor in a man may harm only
himself, but liquor in car can bring
disaster to many who travel the high
ways of the country.

IOWA AND THE SALES TAX
(The Capital Times)

The last Iowa legislature enacted
a sales tax and early this month thu
state board of assessment reported OF
its results.
To reactionary Legislators in Wis

on the people, the following fact
should be of interest:
The board of assessments re-
port shows that during the first
quarter the tax was i'm effect
S2,61S,3SI was taken from the
pockets Of Iowa consumers.
OF this amount, sales taxes paid
on groceries and meats amounted
to $4S9,734, or nearly 10 per cent
of the total.
Sales taxes on general merchan-
disc, shoes, and clothing, which
mean the bare necessities OF liv-
ing, tOtalled $SOS,216, or about 81
per cent of the sales tax bill for
the quarter.
Public utilities, whose general
taxes are to be reduced by the
revenues from the sales tax, con-
tributed relatively a small amount
of the tOtal-less than 8 per cent.
Sales taxes on building construction
manufacturing, miscellaneous trade
furniture, and other constructive bust
ness made up most of the balance
Luxuries furnished only a very small
percentage of the sales tax collected
These are the figures on Iowa's ex
perience with the sales tax for a tire

burden of all on the market basket

4 Man Must Want

It's wanting keeps young and fit.
It's wanting something just ahead
And striving hard to come to it,
That brightens every road we tread
That man is old before his time
Who is supremey satisfied
And does not want some hill to climb
Or something life has still denied
The want of poverty is grim,
1t has a harsh and cruel sting,
But fill the cup up to the brim,
man must want from day to day,
Must want to reach distant goal
Or claim some treasure far away,
For wants the builder of the soul.
He who has ceased to want has dropped
The working tools of life and stands
Much like an od-time clock that's stopped
While Time is Wondering his hands.
I'm truly sorry for the man,
Though he be millionaire or king,
Who does not hold some cherished plan
And says he does not want thing.
Want is the spur that drives us on
And oft it's praises should be sung
For man is old when want is gone
It's what want that keeps us young.
