FROM THE CRADLE TO THE
GRAVE-YOU PAY A TAX

Here are two stanzas from a
verse that has been making the
rounds recently:
When you light the evening lamp
You pay a tax.
When you buy a postage stamp
You pay a tax.
When you buy the baby Clothes,
When you read the morning news,
When you buy a pair OF shoes,
You pay a tax.
When you buy an ice cream cone
You pay a tax.
For the water that you drink
You pay a tax.
When you buy a loaf OF bread.
When the doctor says you're dead,
When the final prayers are said,
You pay a tax
It is doubtful if sadder or
truer words we're ever pennec.
Taxes begin with the cradle and
end only in the grave. And to-
day we are taxed more heavily,
and in more ways than we yer
were before. Sit down some time
and reflect on the taxes, indirect
and direct. that you must pay in
the course of any Gays normal
activities-and you'll get some
idea of how necessary rea! tay
reduction is.

YOUR A TAX:

Taxpayers who pay taxes OH
real estate should not overlook
the fact that the tax on their
cars is included in the bill. On a
car assessed at $500. the county
tax bill in Big Horn county
amounts to approximately $6.4O.
If you live in Hardin add another
$4.70 for the city levy, making a
total of approximately s11.OO If
you live in Lodge Grass. you will
get off at about tWo-bits less to-
ward enriching the exchequer Of
that thriving town. AS yet, there
is no automobile tax for hitch
mixers in Big Horr county.

To Safeguard
Our Liquors
New Warehouse for State Liquor
Is Being Pushed Rapidly to
Completion.

The state of Montana has this
year made a profit in excess OF a
million dollars from the sales of
liquor at the state stores above
all expenses and by December 81
the profits will run far in excess
of this amount. .
The new liquor warehouse at
Helena. now under construction.
is being rushed to completion and
when it is finished it will be not
only fire-proof and burglar-proof
but earthquake-proof. It is be-
ing constructed on quake resist
ant p%rincinles and a recurrence
of such losses as the recent
quakes caused to manv establish
ments handling bottled goods in
Helena, will not be probable.
The new structure will cost
100000 all of which will be de-
rived from the profits of the
state liquor business. It will be
economy. however, as it will save
the state the heavy rentals it is
now paying for rented quarters
for both warehouse and office
purposes. It cost an extra S19.-
ono to build it on quake resistant
plans.
The board has authorized the
opening of some new liquor stores
and agencies. bringing the total

4 RELIEF FROM
RELIEF GR1BBERS

In these days when thousands of able
bodied men and women, in full possession
of physical and mental faculties, depend
upon federal or state governments for
the very necessities of life, such examples
as two noticed here recently are an in
.Spiration. One was set by blind man
travelling through FL Centro, the other
was depicted in a photograph published
in the Imperial Valley Press Tuesday.
The photograph is a likeness of 20
year-old Rosina Lawrence of Hollywood,
who suffered partial paralysis at the age
of seven, but through perseverance
forced herself to recovery, then went
further by learning to dance. Her reward
is d S1250 weekly film contract. Greater
still is the reward she must find in know
ing that she overcame seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles in climbing to her
present position.
Even more striking is the case of the
man who has lost all hope that he will
ever recover his eyeSight. Blinded per-
manently. he has turned his other facili-
ties to greater use in winning from the
world a livelihood without aid from any
man. He came through Ell Centre the
other day. stopping at the police station.
Only a white cane told that he was blind.
Under his arm was a large case, and in
the case was an assortment of sample
shoes, socks and catalogues.
He is a peddler Showing his wares to
the policemen, he opened the case and
put his hand unerringly on the sample he
wished to show He described its good
points in detail He told the weave of
the socks he was attempting to sell,
pointed out the clock arrangement Fin
gering through a catalogue, he opened 1t
at the desired page when questioned
about a hunting jacket. He described
the jacket in full detail, telling of the
shell pockets, the elbow reinforcements
and other features, and quoting prices.
The blind man had memorized every
page of that catalogue. He knew every
detail of the wares he wished to sell.
There was no apology in the way he
went about his salesmanship. There was
no plea for sympathy because of his
blindness He was selling merchandise
on the strength of the merchandise, not
on the strength of his personal affliction.
He was dealing with his customers as
one normal person to another.
When one police officer suggested a
willingness to obtain for him bed at a
local relief establishment, he refused.
81 don't want any of that relief" he
said, I'm making my own living.
Pride of that sort has made America
the greatest nation of the world.
We may not approve of itinerant ped
dlers, classified as unfair competition to
local business, but we cannot help ad
miring the man who, although afflicted
with blindness, is proud that he is max
ing his own living.
These two people typify the American
spirit.

ical bar. Such persons, he says,
probably would use a yardstick to
measure the value of an etching.
MANY times I've been asked to
give the number of taps involved
in certain routine" said Draper,
land I've refused to discuss such a
stupid subject. 1t is just as silly
for reviewer of dancing to wish
to know the taps per measure, ,or
minute, as it would be for a musical
critic TO inquire as to how many
noets George GershWin has in his
latest composition"
He illustrated by an Adagio step,
slow and graceful.
Mathematical Measure
You see, in such a movement
there's only about a half step to
four bars of music. Who can say
how many steps might be crowded
into four bars, or into a specified
number of seconds. Tap dancing is
an art, and, as such, cannot be
measured mathematically."
Before Draper won fame as a
dancer, he was a student of engin-
eering, but decided it would be too
long before he could capitalize on
his education. So he took the
longer way to success by way Of
the stage.
Ruby Keeler thinks he's swell.
She stands around with her mouth
open as Draper goes through his
intricate steps.

After South had twice shown
hearts over partners spades, North
jumped his partner into '7-Hearts
West had shown clubs and North
had shown no club losers. Open
ing lead was the of spades, which
South knew was a singleton. West S
club call indicated probable posses
sion of missing high honors. The
normal thing to do was two rounds
of winning diamonds, then to ruff
the next diamond, in order to lead
the @ of hearts through West. Had
this been done West would have
played the 7. The missing would
make it most probable that East
held that card, making the finesse
necessary and effectual, yielding
Todd. Instead of this logical play,
South led off the Ace of hearts and
went down on his contract.
The dealer of the following freak
two-suiter also suffered through
departure from routine procedure
but this time the error was in bid
ding. Seven hearts and six clubs
urged South to show partner both
suits. Probably he was fascinated
by the heart honors held and the
higher point count of that suit In
stead of adhering to sound proce-
dure, first bidding 2-Hearts, then
showing clubs, South made an
open bid of 6-Hearts, entirely ig-
noring partner.
