Our U. S. flood reminded me
about one time when l were
trapped i'm the water for 7 hours
up at my chest in water. l
was out duck shooting l
we're sitting on a little island -.
then tide start creeping up
l not pay attention at first
when | realizing what are trans
piring it are too late TO getting
out so there / are trapped.
Pretty soon water reaching top
side my chest . Oh what
feeling. How higher? Tulle
grass disappear from sight
then all of suddenly about 25 field
mice start swimming toward me
L were the only dry spot for
those little fellows E. they
gather on my shoulder and nestle
very quiet they not bother
me it seem they understand
ing we are all in a mutual boat.
To telling the truth them mice
keeping my neck warm. At other
time of life shun off from
making friendships with mice
but this time o. o. Then after
many hours tide go down and
happiness occur them mice
kip from my shoulder and swim

Differences in what consider fundamental
policies of both organization and methods Of
gaining the enactment Of the Townsend Plan
INTO law have arisen between Doctor Townsend
and myself Rather than take the slightest
chance of endangering the solidarity of our ranks
after despairing of effecting complete harmony,
I have determined to resign from all official
connection with the movement effective April /,
1886 This does not mean that I shall cease to
give my all to the advancement of the Townsend
Plan; it merely means I am no longer operating
in any official capacity.
i believe as strongly ever in retirement
at the age of so; in the imposition of a two per
cent transactions tax the proceeds of such quail
flied up to but not to exceed $4,000 per month
each and that persons receiving the same should
be required to spend it for goods and services
within 80 days. Those are the principles Of the

Often the greatest wealth potentials
bask in full public gaze but are never
seen. Usually, we take such things for
granted and don't stop to picture what
might be done if such natural resources
were properly developed.
This refers to the possibility that is
offered by the Gulf of Lower California
for creating a huge winter-time tourist
travel through all parts of Imperial
Valley.
Fishermen tell us that when fish are
not biting in the winter along the Los
Angeles and San Diego coast, the great
sport of rod and reel is at its best in the
gulf This accounts for Isaac Walters
travelling over almost impossible roads
to reach the gulf coast. Others make
the trip in more modern fashion, via
airplanes, saving time, and nerves.
If Mexico were to build good roads to
the shore, there is every reason to believe
that fishermen would come from all
over the United States to enjoy warm
climate and good fishing.
1t is true that the real cash value
might not center in Imperial Valley
Actually, it would literally pour into the
creation and patronage of big Mexican
resorts. There is no doubt, however, but
that thousands of dollars would be spent
in valley towns by those en- route to the
the fishing grounds. CaleXico would be
the biggest beneficiary, but Westmor-
land, Brawley, El Centre, inland, Holt
Vile and Calipatria would all get their
share of business.

LOO Taxes Day
for Average Man
His Wife Encounters 1900;
Roosevelt Administration
Adds Many.

CHICAGO.-With federal indirect
chidden') taxes increased approx
imately Is per cent during the
Roosevelt administration, there are
now more than 1900 hidden taxes
involved in the daily life of the av-
erage man, Robert Kratky, director
of the tax division of the Republican
National committee here, declared.
He said there are 300 more in the
daily life of the average woman.
"The mans day begins with the
alarm clock, on which there is a
luxury tax of ten cents, in addition
to 80 other hidden taxes" Mr.. KRAFT
ky said.
''Taxes now take 26 per cent of
the cost of underwear, 20 to 40 per
cent of the cost of soap and 81 per
cent of the cost of razor blades.
"There are A taxes on a pair of
overalls, 81 on a shirt, So on a suit,
So on hat, 60 on a tie, e. on pair
of socks and SO on an overcoat.
Taxes take 1888 on an $18 suit, SO
cents on a So hat, 20 cents on 81
tie, Z cents from a IS cent pair of
socks and SIS from a $25 overcoat."
At the breakfast table, Mrs. Az
erage Man can help her husband
count.
Fifty taxes take 2 cents from a
dime loaf of Bread" said Mr.. KRAFT
ky. Sugars 43 taxes represent %
per cent of the cost. A IS cent
pound of meat would have cost
only % cents, but for SO taxes.
with this drain on the family in
come, the living struggle has be-
come more burdensome day after
day under the Roosevelt admin
istration. There is not much chance
of The Forgotten Man getting a
raise from his company, for his firm
is paying taxes at the rate of more
than $500 a year per mar en-
ployed."

Scarcity" Taxes Slash
Food Purchase Power
By ANNE BROWN

CHICAGO, ILL.-When the CLERK
in the market totals the prices of
your food purchases and hands you
the bill, it's a shock.
But don't blame the store you
are dealing with. Don't suspect that
the farmer is profiting by these
high prices. They are hit as hard
as you are by the Roosevelt policies
that are sending prices sky-rocket-
ing.
In fact price raising has just be-
gun. The federal Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics forecasts anoth-
er IL per cent increase by spring.
Millions of dollars were paid out
under Roosevelt administrative or
der to wealthy corporations for not
raising sugar, cotton and other COM
modities. This was an expensive
program of curtailment, for which
the consumer eventually will pay
the bill.
After curtailnent came scarcity.
Now foreign imports are pouring in
to this country at high prices to
supply the demand.
Here's how the food budget is af-
fected: Using an average communi-
ty as typical example (although
prices vary around the country,
three years ago So bill would pur-
chase: l Id. bacon, 2 lbs. chuck
roast; l qt. milk; doz. eggs; l
lb. butter; S lbs. potatoes; 2 lbs.
cabbage; 2 lbs. onions; 1 can to-
matoes; l can corn; l ID. sugar; 2
lbs. bread; 2 lbs. lard.
Today in the same locality, 81
bill purchases only seven items out
of this list of 10. The food pur-
chase ability of the consumers dol
lar has been virtually cut in half
under the New Deal.
