HITTING THE LITTLE FELLOW
TAX LAWS designed to punish

l. big business, under the guise OF
revenue producing measures, may
wreak their principal damage on
little business and on the little fell
low-the wage-earner, the small in
weston, the white collar worker.
In addition, they may make it
impossible for the little business and
the little fellow ever to go ahead
to progress, to prosper, to grow.
A recent editorial in the Los An
geles Times said: 'This is a big
country accustomed to do things in
a big way. To dwarf such a hertz
age would be in truth to return us
to the horse and buggy days. To go
forward, to explore; investigate, ex-
pertinent, to attain the heights by
trial and error is expensive, but ne
cessary to human progress.
''The small, poorly financed bus
mess or individual is often an in
itial stepping stone to great things.
The poor man becomes rich; the
small business grows and one day is
big business boasting a worth
while heritage of accomplishment.
There has been incentive all along
the line.
ut may be wrong, but success,
business success at least, is predi-
Gated upon financial independence.
To rule that the small and strug-
Cling shall never grow big and ag-
gressive is to knock the props out
from under our national habit and
set us back a century," IN ..1A
( It seems that the whole aim of
politically minded persons today is
to punish, to discourage, to poison
the springs of enterprise. We raise
our taxes on "bigness" to the point
where man or corporation, once
it gets beyond the size of a corner
grocery, is just working for the tax
collector. We pass regulatory laws
giving political job holders, not ex-
ecutives and stockholders, the final
say as to business practices and OPP

Whether this represents fascism,
communism, socialism or any other

every American tradition. And it
is threat to the future of every

fought.

T1HE NRA endeavored by legal

l. compulsion to correct the evils
of industry that work a hardship
for producers and consumers. Since
the MIRA is out the question is again
checked up to industry. It will be in
teresting to see how industry deals
with the chiselers. It has become
quite obvious that they will have to
be dealt with, as a continuation of
the old course is a guarantee of flu
ture difficulties. It would be more
desirable if industry could handle
this problem within itself, but it re-
mains to be seen whether it can or
not.

CONGRESS has appointed a COM
- mission to find out who makes
the money handling food products.
The farmer says he doesn't make
it; the wholesaler won't admit that
he is making anything and the re-
taller will tell you that he can't
make profit. The commission has
big job on it's hands. It seems it
would be simpler to instruct the
commission to find out some means
by which all three of these interest
ed parties could make little.

What We Think
(By Frank Dixon)

It used to be that the girls took
secret pride in the fact that the boy
friend went home with his cigars
in his breast pocket all broken. Now
adays the boy friend as a matter of
protection carries his fountain pen
in his hip pocket.
IS **
Just to think that not many
months ago we were concerned be-
cause the government was calling
in our gold. If the government had
just delayed the call little long
er we would all have had all of our
gold spent.
He is one of those persons, a
neighbor of mine, said the other day
in speaking of an acquaintance of
his, of whom it can be truly said:
He never helped anybody.
I note by my daily that two Ia
coma, Washington boys laid wa
ger that attired in shorts and hunt
ing knives they could live off the
land in the wilderness for 80 days.
That is easy. If the boys want a
real job they should try living off
the land as we farmers do. The
difference is that in addition to
rustling a living the farmers have
to pay taxes.
I note by my daily that the fore
closure sales of farms is meeting
with some resistance in Iowa. It
strikes me that this is not the place
to put up resistance What the far
mers should do is to protest against
the system that has gotten agricul-
tUre into the mess it is now in. AS
long as the system prevails under
which the prime industry of this
country cannot pay expenses it is
fighting hopeless battle. What the
country needs is for the politicians
to get into the farming business. Re-
lief would then become a possibility.

I4S YEARS OF CONSTITUTIONAL
LIBERTY
an SEPTEMBER II, the ConSti-

Nv 0Gr 1GnDclS A'' Iiie Ooii''i
" tuition of the United States was
148 years old. Observation of Con-
stitution Day has focused public at
tention on that great document
and on the dangers that are now
besetting it.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Constitutional rights and privileges
are menaced-that political exper-
imentation with theories of alien Or
igin are usually the direct antithe-
sis of the American scheme of gov
ernment-and that many of the po-
iticians who pay lip service to the
Constitution in high sounding
speeches, are among the leaders of
those who emasculate it.
Some are urging that Consti-
tutional Amendment be passed
whereby Congress and the President
would be given vastly broader pow
ers than they now possess spite
of the fact that such an amendment
would very possibly make the Bill
of Rights meaningless. Others adj
vocate law depriving the Supreme
Court of it's right to pass on the
constitutionality of legislation
even tho that would eliminate the
principal reason for the very exist
ence of the Court, and make it no
different from lower tribunals. Still
others are urging new judicial Gin
terpretations" of Constitutional pro-
visions whereby the original mean
ing would be warped. And there are
those who think it feasible to cir
cumvent the Constitution, by polit-
ical chicanery whereby laws can be
kept away from Supreme Court
decision for a long period of time,
until their unconstitutional ends
have been attained.
It is inevitable that changes in
the Constitution will weaken it
that the protecting arm 1t now
holds over human rights, property
rights and individual liberties and
prerogatives will be made less
strong. No document has withstood
the vicissitudes of changing CEN
tury and half so well-none has
so completely achieved the purposes
of free, democratic government.
The Constitution is the very soul of
America without it, we would be
no different from these other ma
tions whose people are now feeling
the mailed fist of dictators, at the
expense of freedom of the press,
freedom of action, freedom to live.

neighborhood groceries and small

at all. The result is that the bust

many of these will fold up because
the return will be less than one

TALL FLOWERS USEFUL
Graceful Spikes Make Good Back
ground Colors.

Tall flowers with graceful spikes
are useful in the garden for back
grounds and as arrangements indoors.
The larkspur and lupin are familiar
subjects in most gardens, and We
might well add the liatris. or Kansas
gay feather, as it is sometimes called.
This hardy perennial grows natur-
ally in most of the central and east
ern States, and may be easily started
from seed now and transplanted into
the garden in September. Their rosy
purple flowers on spikes from three to
four feet in height make an impress
sive sight in the border, and when
used with gladiolus in an arrangement
they are unexcelled. A peculiar trait
of the liatris is that the flowers open
at the top of the spike first and con-
tinue downward.

i. S. HELPS REPAIR
SMALL BUILDINGS.
Housing Administrations
Amended Credit Plan
Offers Aid.

Owners of small Office buildings
with ground floor space for two or
more businesses, such as drug stores,
cigar stands and the like. will find
new opportunity to convert, improve,
or repair their property though the
provisions of the Federal Housing Ad-
rrinistration's amended modernization
credit plan.
Modernization credit in amounts up
to S50,000 are now available at pri-
vate lending institutions approved by
the Federal Housing Administration
for the purpose of modernizing office
buildings, hotels. business or other
commercial buildings, hospitals, or
phanages, colleges, schools or manu-
featuring or industrial plants.
Thousands Need Repair.
An exhaustive survey of the country
has shown that there are scores of
thousands of commercial establish
nents in urgent need, not only OF
structural repair and changes to bring
them up to par, but Of re-equipment,
for such concerns to keep abreast the
competitive developments in their re-
spective fields.
An outstanding feature to the
amended modernization plan which
will be of great interest to sman ONCE
building owners is the belief that
much, if not all. of the modernization
work and re-equipment to be fostered
under the $4,000 extension of credit
limitation will actually produce the
income to liquidate the debt incurred
in its purchase. Therefore, the eco
nomic value of the work to be done
IN each instance becomes of great i'm
portance in a credit decision.
Through this new channel of credit
the small commercial building owner
NAV convert outmoded and deterior-
eting property into modern, efhcient
and income producing assets. Con-
currently. modernzation produces an
automatic improvement in the risk
rating applied to such properties by
banks.
More Profits Produced.
Actual cases that have been report
ed to the Housing Administration
show that such modernization, in
many cases, has produced definite
profit increases, both to the owner
of the building as we'll as to tenants
who rent business spaces.
Full details concerning possibilities
under the amended modernization
credit plan are available at any local
bank or insuring Office of the admin
istration or from Federal Housing
headquarters in Washington.
AS the Federal Housing Administra-
tons modernization credit plan ex-
pires April /, 1886, unless extended
by a further amendment to the ma
tional housing act, the small office
building owner interested in CONVEX
sion or improvement of his property
should take immediate steps to. &C

Stalking tall growing ANIMALS and

cause once a spike becomes bent or
broken it can never be returned to its
original shape.
Stakes are easy to make or find
about the home. If you care to buy
material for this purpose, 1-by-1 -1-inch
lumber will do very well and is in
expensive. The small u or y inch
bamboo stakes are good, and they
last for many years. Don't let your
larkspurs or lupins or tomatoes go
unstaked until q heavy rain or wind

IN BASEMENT ADVISED

in Localities Subject
to Dampness.

Attics are no longer reserved for
storage space. Children's play rooms,
extra guest rooms or studios now
occupy space which once was left for
old collections of furniture, trunks.
and other little needed objects.
Trunks have been relegated to the
basement, but TO provision for their
protection usually is made.
A clean, dry room will protect
trunks and other luggage. If it is
made a proper size. it will be used
only for luggage. When the house
wife goes to pack for a Summer
vacation, she will find the pieces
she is looking for, and these in good

1t is an aid in protecting luggage
to build racks for it a few inches

precaution in localities where it Is
