little shakily. I'm to bud overnight

Shell sat on the couch and lit a
cigarette.
NO" he admitted, you'll never be
a raving beauty. Thank goodness.
I'm sick of empty headed beautiful
women. You'll be attractive and able
to wear clothes, because you've got
a good figure. You'll be a type. That's
more important. You've one advan-

Noble, but very foolish. It's time you
took of your wings and came down to

Patience interrupted.
And did hear you say somthing
about new wardrobe, my good
man?"
You certainly did" he replied
firmly. Tomorrow you're going to
loosen up with a couple of hundred
dollars and 60 shopping with me-
You can afford it now Come to think
of it, I think we'll go stepping to-

You need evening clothes"
Patience looked flustered and un-

viction that Shell would practically
force her into carrying out his big

And she felt as excitedly happy as

FIX THE PUMP

If President Roosevelt's extended tour
of the drouth states had served no other
purpose than to focus public attention on
the need for a permanent rehabilitation
program in the west, it would have been
eminently worthwhile.
Out of the tragic experiences of the last
three years has come the realization that
temporary measures aren't going to solve
the problem. In the words of the Great
Plains Drouth committee: -..
Something permanent must be under
taken to check a condition which, since
January l, 1888, has cost the federal gov
ernment in relief expenditures and loans a
total of 1855, 100000, in addition to $14O,-
100000 for work designed to conserve
physical assets, exclusive of the 1886
drouth expenditures.
It's about time we fixed the pump. 1t
has been primed long enough.

AN ANSWER ON TAXES
server.

Governor Landon made the point. that; indirect
taxes taxes concealed in the retail prices OF 1ooo
clothing, manufacturer goods were only Al per
cent of all federal revenue in 1882, and that they
stand at 81 per cent in 1885,
That painted pretty Republican picture OF an
administration picking the pockets of the poor oy
hidden and secret tax devices 81 ~
But there was no repeal in 1882 and no $780,
900 900 federal beer and liquor tax in 1882. The
difference in the percentage of hidden taxes is
due to repeal .
If we subtract the $505 100000 of liquor taxes
from the S2,139 900, 900 of indirect taxes for
the fiscal year 1886, to make a fair comparison
with 1882 then the percentage. Of ''hidden" taxes
exclusive of liquor is 1875 per cent of our total
revenue and not 81 per cent. :: ''p'N
Why did Governor Landon select, as he did, the
year 1882 as his basis for comparison with 1885!
The fiscal year 1882 was not the last Hoover year
The fiscal year 1888, ended June 80, 1888, was the
last Hoover year.
And between 1882 and 1888, under Hoover, the
percentage of hidden taxes on the consumer leaped
from Ala per cent to $50. Why did Landon talk
about 1882 and omit 1888?
The true picture of hidden, indirect taxes on the
consumer is that they increased from Al per cent
to So per cent under Hoover and that they de-
creased if we except liquor taxes, to 1876 per cent
under Roosevelt.-New York Post

COST OF ROAD USE

A new S1,150,O0O bridge is about to be Quilt
across the Albemarle Sound in Eastern Carolina
and the highway department announces that 1t VIII
be free from the beginning" In other words, there
will be no toll charge for crossing. Toll bridges
have passed out. The cost of crossing streams ana
riding on the concrete and asphalt is now spread
upon the backs of all motorists.
An interesting thought on the cost OF traVel. Is
furnished bv the News and Observer which COM
ments as follows:
1.-The State Highway and Public Works Commis-
sion estimates that the average passenger car IN
North Carolina in year travels S,44O miles and
consumes 1915 gallons of gasoline. That is little
better than ID miles per gallon Of gas The driver
of that average car pays sx-cent tax to the state
onequarter-cent inspection fee to the state, and
a one-cent tax to the federal government on every
Gallon of gasoline he consumes. Thus for every II
miles of highway he traverses he pays what might
as well be toll of IA cents. On trip from
Raleigh to Ashevle he pays what amounts to $13O
for the use of the road. .-s 49,
"There are no free roads any more. There are
no free bridges. The absence of a man and a
gate does t eliminate the toll We can build all
the roads we want all the bridges we desire, but If
anybody expects to get them for nothing or ride
over them for nothing, ne is fooling himself and
his pocketbook. "-Cleveand Star. ... . ..

THE REAL WAR COST

If YOU would like to get notlon oI 'he
cost of the civil war now raging IN SPAIN
YOU might cast your eye over this one sen
tence from a recent United Press dispatch
from the scene of action:
at is estimated that there are now 90
600 widows and 1900 orphans as result
of the war
It is hard to make those figures mean
what they should mean unless you do just
a little meditating. Picture, first, the de-
spair. the loneliness, the sense of personal
loss. and the haunting fear of the future
which come to a woman when her husband
is taken away-and then multiply by So
900.
Next. imagine the tragic bewllderment'
the incomprehending misery, the cruel
desolation of child which has lost Its Ia
ther-and, if,you are able, picture T'ooo
such childrenl
In that way you may be able to get
glimmering of the true cost of war.

things it's doing are also being
duplicated by the G. o. P. .
Smaller newspapers through the

distributed to voters through state

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
OPENING OF THE PRESIDE CHAT SEASON

Mr.. Roosevelts first chat of the current 6reside
season was largely repettious; reiteration of the
conservation program to which the President has
long devoted his attention and of efforts to meet
the longstanding unemployment problem, although,
in each instance, brought up to date by the drouth
survey and the anticipated fall pickup in business
and industry.
Stripped of embellishments, the dehverance was
essentially an attempted justification defense OF
government spending which has developed into
probably the transcending issue of the national
campaign
The chief executive palpably sought to empha-
size facts. His drouth report and relief measures
predicated thereupon were based upon personal
findings!' there was no guesSwork as to the needs
prevailing in the stricken territory. 'SWe know,
the President stressed "the approximate number
of farm families who will require some form OF
work relief from now on through the winter" With
that definite information upon which to proceed
the administration is therefore in position to map
its program effectively and efficiently 1T
Turning to the unemployment Aeld; where spe-
eial appeal was made forS private Unemployment,

NEW YORK - Nothing quite

bizarre.
High-preSSure advertising and

A HIDEOUS DANGER

One of the worst features about
police officers who lack ability and
integrity and who are appointed
or elected for political purposes,
is that when they find themselves
on a hot spot because of their in
ability to apprehend the criminal
in a spectacular crime which
arouses the public, they may go
forth and get" somebody.
The pride-tickling phrase, "the
sheriff always gets his man" could
often be correctly amended to
"the sheriff always gets a man."

money or influence who is in line
of suspicion when an incapable or
corrupt police officer feels it must

Thus the government can the more satisfactorily
tackle the drouth problem because it has facts at
hand and similarly facts to be assembled as
basis for effective private unemployment. How this
stress upon authentic data fits in with Washing
toms steadfast refusal to take an unemployment
census and thus to have available accurate statls-
