if the United States doesn't watch
her step she will be into this war

We like to tell how strong we are
for peace, but at the same time have
no objection to our industries and
munition men furnishing the sup
plies with which other nations at
war may carry on the fight.
I think that if the oil men are
going to be permitted to sell oil to
Italy, the munition men should be
allowed the same privilege of selling
munitions.

TAX EXEMPTION PRIVILEGES
UNFAIR

Taxation! What an ominous
sound that word is beginning to have
for millions of citizens.
Whenever government goes into
any line of business new taxes are
demanded and old business that
cannot compete with government
enterprises are generally tax-ex-
empt.
This fact is becoming better I'M
derstood every day and is the rea-
son for a growing sentiment to
make publicly-o&ned business en-
terprises pay identically the same
taxes that are paid by privately
owned industry.
When government goes into bus
mess it has stepped outside the
function of governing and the ex-
cuse for tax-exemption privilege no
longer exists. If state, municipal or
federal business completes with pri-
vate citizens, it should not be grant,
ed tax-exemption and public sub
sidy privileges to private citizens.
Government-owne business en-
terprises should stand on their own
feet and be subject to the same reg
u1ation and taxation as are applied
to private business.
1t is just as necessary to protect
the public from inefficiency, graft
or over-charging by a politically
controlled and operated business as
it is in a privately owned business.
Whenever any person or any en-
terprise escapes taxes, all others
have to pay for the tax-exempt,
privileged few. " -"

There isn't a local industry in any
town in the United States that
wouldn't do better and grow faster
if it received more of the trade of
the community in which it is locat-
ed. We know of creamery in a
midwestern town that could not sell
it's products locally. The creamery
went to a packing firm in a near
by city and offered to pack its but
ter under the packers label. The
packer furnished the cartons to the
creamery, the butter was packed in
cartons, shipped hundred miles to
the packer, sold by the packers
salesman and shipped back to the
town in which it was made. The
consumer paid two extra railroad
hauls for the same butter that he
could have bought at his very door.
This is the thing that holds down
local industry everywhere.

Initiatives Nos. SO, SO and 100 have
been filed at Olympia All of them
attempt to relieve some group of
something. One repeats the business
and occupational tax for the relief
of the business men; one redis-
tributes the gasoline tax for the
benefit of cities that would like to
pay their outstanding street obli-
cations with state money; and one
re-enacts the forty mill limit law
for relief of the property owner. We
believe that, in spite of relieving in
itiatives, the only relief the tax
payer will ever get is when govern
ment spending is reduced.

Seattle's lighting department now
proposes to buy the holdings of the
Puget Sound Power & Light Com
pany in King County. All parts of
the state have an interest in the
taxes paid by this private company.
This interest cannot be satisfied
with the promise of reduced rates to
Seattle residents or possible contri-
buttons to the cost of Seattle's city
government. Experience indicates
that there are no compensating
benefits when property is taken
from the tax rolls of the state.

Christmas. This column in the past
has made several sighting remarks
about Christmas neckties. We had
one all fixed up for the edition after
Christmas, but we did not get to
use it. The reason is, we didn't get
a necktie of any kind for Christmas
this year. In our present chastened
mood we are wondering what we can
do to erase the memory of our past
flippant remarks about Christmas
neckties, for frankly, bad as they
are, they are distinctly better than
none at all.

weight-gaining diet is to increase
the size Of the stomach, to inn
prove the appetite and provide q
greater food capacity. However,
the abdominal muscles are little
used, and the additional weight
is likely to settle into a tummy,
unless these muscles are strength
ened.
A weight-gainer with this ex-
perience asks If she should
ceunteract this tendency by diet.
The answer is, no. The reducer
dirninishes an unmanageable ap-
petite by decreasing food capacity
in this way, but the weightgainer
must develop muscular control.
Underweights usually have q
fairly straight line because they
get so little food. In gaining, the
front line is maintained by
strengthening the abdominal mus
cles, which is far better for both
the health and the figure.
Begin with the first two exer-
cises described in the leaflet CAB
dOminal Exercises"
Watch your distribution of new
weight, Gamers, for curves add
nothing to your appearance unless
you gain them in the right spots.

RICHMOND, Va, May 1.-THE
death If Nancy Fields, a 74-year-
old Negro Woman who has been
living near Emporia for the last
two or three years, closed a tale of
devotion that savorS Of ante.bel-
lum days.
In her younger days she left
Richmond, her birthplace, and
served in a family of Jamaica, N.
Y, two boys of which became ply
sicianS.
When she grew old, her noStal-
gia for the South and her own kin
brought her to Emporia, where
she lived in a comfortable house
with her niece. The two doctors
bought the home for her, sent her
money regularly and visited her
three or four times year to see
that she lacked nothing.
She died and was buried in Rich
mond. The local Negro under.
taker, E. w. Mason, said he never
saw more beautiful flowers than
were sent by her New York
friends, nor heard a more beauti-
full testimony in q telegram that
was read In the church at her
funeral.

On a weightgaining program,
you must exercise against an &C
emulation Of pounds about the
waistline,. hips and abdomen.
Without exercise there is no guar.
antee of an even distribution Of
hard-earned new weight. Fat
tends to settle in the areas of low
muscular activity, which makes
specific exercise a necessity to pre-
vent gaining just "in spots"
The waistline, being susceptible
to adipose tissue, may give you
the first indication Of stored
calorieS. You probably improve
your health and figure by taking
on q moderate amount Of weight
in this area. However, If you al

Stretch to improve muscle tone
and posture and forestall the de-

Stretching exercises are ideal for
the weight-gainer, as they relieve
tension and may be performed
with a minimum of effort.
When the underweight starts to
add curves, she is more than likely
to take on that old problem Of
the feminine world-hips. Exer-

can prevent a gain in the hipline
