DELAYED TAX PROPOSALS KEEP
CONGRESS AT WORK.

Facing a prolonged session of con-
gress which may not end until fall,
the nations legislators have in the
Roosevelt tax proposals one of the most
While the tax plan is generally ad-
mitted in democratic circles to have
been offered only to offset the Huey
Long Share the Wealth" clamor, po-
lkecrl development quickly placed the
President in a position Of being forced
to demand enactment at this session.
While congress was trying to digest
this demand for new legislation, fresh
activity for enactment of the bonus
and for inflationary measures were
thrown into the legislative hopper,
bringing with them the possibility of
many more months of work Senator
Borah of Idaho predicted that adjourn
ment would not come until November l.
Practically no sentiment is found to
exist on Capitol Hill for enactment of
the tax proposals without the serious
consideration and lengthy study which
has in past years been given to such
important legislation Even among
democrats the President has met OPP
position to this latest demand that con-
gress rubber stamp another bill.
| Senator Coolidge, a Massachusetts
| democrat, writing in the Boston Tran
script, has gone so far as to indicate
he will vote against the tax plan.
A question as important to the eco
nomic recovery Of the nation as taxa
ton should not be presented to con-
gress at the close of the session." the
senator said. i am surprised that the
administration should have done this.
In view of the bearing of taxation on
the problems which American bust
ness now faces in its convalescence,
neither tax nor tariff should be
placed before congress just before the
expected time for adjournment.

and tragic, that the choice farm in
the block, right next to the old
homestead passed into the hands OF
stranger However the man who
''made the puncture,' was not the
subject of this sketch; he was only
the forerunner of the one who was
to come.
1t was about the year 1927 that
a young man was seen making
weekly trips down this portion of
the valley riding horse and car
rying a pair of leather saddle-bags
and having a post-horn strapped to
his shoulders He was the first man
to carry the mail over the newly
established mail route from Cam
bridge to McConnelsville. That
man was Jason Tilden, ST. There
was no postoffice here then, but Mr..
Tilden made stop about five miles
north of here at what is now known
as the Beaschler farm, where man
by the name Of Wharton kept lit
tie store. 1t was the only postoffice
in the township at that time. Mr..
Tilden was alert and kept his eyes
open, and in making these weekly
trips had good opportunity 10
know much that was going on in the
settlement. There came day When
this choice farm, (that had slipped
out Of the Dyes hands) was up for
sale again. Between this mail car
rying experience and the day of this
land sale, we are skipping much OF
Mr.. Tilden's career, but suffice to
say, he was the lucky purchaser. 1t
was a good thing that Mr.. I1lden
was we'll known; of good character
and sterling qualities, a man whom
the government could trust with a
ioh Otherwise he would have been
out of place as land owner here
in the heart of the settlement.
It was late in the day when Jason
Tilden arrived at his new home
with the last load of goods, includ-
ing his family. His household eff
fects were scattered promiscuously
over the front yard. Amid all this
confusion and hustle and hustle to
get ready to spend the first night III
the new home, a man and woman
drove up in a one-horse buggy and
asked for a nights lodging. So far
they he'd failed to find anyone who
would keep them, SO they said.
It is not clear to us how they had
penetrated the settlement so far
and not found lodging place, as It
is said that the Dyes were hos
pitable people All that Mr.. Tilden
had to do was TO point to his stove,
bedding and other things, still out
of doors, TO convince the travellers
that Do was newcomer and it
would be entirely out Of the qnes-
tion to keep anyone, when they
themselves expected to sleep on the
floor. But the strangers We're not
SO easily daunted, they too could

ing he could not furnish them any
thing to eat. For that matter, they
said they could go hungry, and

thing; it was the horse that they
were concerned about as it was al
most exhausted Mr.. Tilden had OBJ
served that fact. II they could only

Craze around they would cheerfully
pay him for all his trouble. The
ex-mail carrier, full of sympathy
for tired horse, yielded and told
them that if they could put up with
what little the place afforded at
that time and under the adverse
conditions, they could stay.
This little incident of Mr.. Til
den keeping those strangers under
the most unfavorable conditions,
spread like fire through the settle
ment, and was treated as a good
joke. After this, when anyone came
along wanting lodging, they Joking
~ said, eco to Tilden's;" and they
did, and Tilden kept them.
Aside from his kind heartedness
it may be interesting to know what
prompted Mr.. Tilden to put himself
ont to do this kind act Years be-
fore. while he was yet young
married man, he and his wife made
a trip in a one-horse outfit across
the state into Indiana. The coun-
try then was much of a wilderness
and they would travel for miles
with no sign of habitation. They
too, encountered much difficulty in
finding lodging. On their return,
Nr. Tilden vowed that if ever he
got a home of his own, he would not
turn anyone away from his door.
With large barn and some addi-
tions to the house, the Tilden home
became one of the best hostelries in
the country. 1t was an ideal stop
ping place for droverS, as these
great droves of cattle were always
headed eastward over the Barnes
vile road" the man walking ahead,
carrying whip in one hand and a
rope to the lead steer in the other,
he needed no sign as he approach
ed the Tilden place, that 500 feet
ahead was accommodation for both
man and beast The mansion on
the eminencc, behind stately locust
trees, and the barn directly in front
with cattle run underneath, and
a turning out lot, leading down to
water. all attested to the fact that
it was the place to stop the drove.
Little does the present generation
realize what stirring, exciting ami
mated sight it was to see great
drove of restless, charging, below
ing cattle. II would be a stupid per-
son who would not 'pick up his
ears at the noise and commotion of
a drove coming in sight. Some
times these droyes would string
along and monOpolize the road for
a quarter Of a mile. Woe unto the
careless farmer who would leave a
gap open along this federal road
over which stock was driven to the
eastern market.
Ny. How those droyers could ham
die their long last whips! How the
sharp cracks would resound up and
down the valley. With these cracks
Of the whip they could signal the
entire length of the drove.
One Of Mr. Tildon's sons, Ireneus,
became expert, not only in braiding
a whip, but in affixing the cracker
and handlin@ it as the experienced
drovers could. 1t is said that on
one occasion he clipped the head
