made up 20 per cent penalty will
have to be added on those for which
returns were not filed before August

no discretion on this point"
Additional hundreds of returns are
expected to be filed next week or even
later. Those taxpayers will escape
court costs of about $l1 which would
be charged if the District was forced in
all cases to apply to District Court
for a writ of mandamus to compel
the filing of returns, but Russell ex-
planned the 20 per cent penalty for
delinquency will stick.

THE NEEDS OF A TOWN

Every town has certain needs that
should if possible be supplied. Some
of them would cost so much that
time should not be wasted on them.
Others are within the means of the
town. The difference between a live
town and dead one is that one kind
of place has always efforts on foot
to supply these needs, while the
other kind just lies down and makes
no such effort.
If few active people agree in any
community to take hold and work
for certain aims that are practical
and within reach, they can usually
accomplish those detectives. All
that is wanted in most cases to get
needed things done, is leadership,
some person or group of people who
will go ahead and work for these
things, Popular q. inertia &, kills all
kinds of hopeful progress, but a few
live people can wake up that inertia
and turn it into enthusiasm.

RIVERS RISE IN WRATH

The good old hymn said: when
peace like a. river flows over my
soul" Thus the poets have often
written of rivers. as a symbol of
peaceful activity and quiet progress
toward some great destination.
So are most of our rivers as they
flow placidly through quiet fields.
But not always so. When storms
pour vast volumes of water into
their sources, when the sudden thaws
of spring loosen mountains of snow.
then the rivers rise in their wrath
like some sleeping tiger. and scatter
destruction and death.
A river is a picture of beauty and
usefulness as it carries commerce
and distributes fertility. When the
spring floods rise. it is like some
average power that strikes with cruel
disregard of suffering. Rivers need
to be kindly treated. The forests
that hold back melting SHOWS must
BE- carefully guarded, if they are not

UNUTILIZED ENERGY

People often look at some great
river flowing through rapids, and
see a vast amount of energy going
to waste. That power ought to be
turning wheels and creating light in
many cities.
Such rivers are not the only vast
ed energy. There is a vast amount
of human power that is untitled.
and much of it right here in Milford
Some people are living dull and
quiet lives who would be capable of
carrying on movements that would
create advantages for the whole
community. When people maintain
an improvement society, business
organization, or church or club ac-
tivities, they bring to light a lot of
that was previously unutiI-
lied, and it turns quiet town into
an active and progressive one.

OLDEST APRIL FOOL JOKE

Perhaps the oldest of April Fool
jokes consisted of sending the boy
to the cobbler's or shoemaker's for
strap OIL" The youth would trust
ingly start on this foolish errand,
taking pride in the importance of
his responsibility.
Then when he reached his desti-
nation, he was distressed when the
irate man of wax and leather would
remove the strap from its customary
hook and proceed to apply it to the
Juvenile back.
Such pranks do not get far with
modern youth. who has become too
sophisticated at an early age. We
shall all have to look out that we
are not fooled and Inundated by him.
It was once considered quite humor-
Jus for a grown man to take ad-
'antage of the inexperience of youth.
That idea did not help a child to ac-
Iuire confidence in his own powers.

MR.. FARLEY'S SPEECH

Postmaster General FaTley's st.
Louis speech implied that the critics
of the Administration are demand
ing an Immediate balanced budget"
No responsible critic is calling for
that. Nor, so far as we are aware, is
anyone demanding that the Federal
Government should Immediately
cease its spending activities. Every
body knows that Federal relief ex-
penditures must continue for long
time to come. What has been indict-
ed by fair-minded critics is the
waste and extravaganza i'm the Gov
ernment's spending and the appar-
ent complacence with which this
spending, with its resultant cOntin-
uing increase in the national debt,
is regarded by che Administration.
There is growing alarm, among the
people as they view the mounting
costs of Government. What the
country may properly ask of the Ad-
today is not an immed-
late balancing of the budget, for
that is out of the question, but re-
Versal of the present trend. The

stration that there is danger in this

UNDECIDED VOTERS

A striking feature of some recent
polls of political opinion. is the large
number of voters who class them
selves as undecided. This element
seems larger than ever before. There
is a great area of doubtful people
who may vote either way in the No
vember election. That great struggle
will be won by the party and can
didate that knows best how to ap-
peal to the desires of this element.
In former years the doubtful vote
was not so large, The voters were
drilled to the polls in organized
armies. Most of them voted the way
their fathers did. It was regarded in
many circles to show instability of
character or even treachery, if son
went back on his fathers politics.
Today the political fences are not
in good repair. The voters don't
stand without hitching. The politi-
cal parties have lost their glamor
People see that there is much shiny
tinsel in politics that does not wear,
and they are suspicious of platforms
and pledges.
Organization and actual work will
determine the result of this election. |
II the followers of one party are suf-
ficiently concerned so they are will
ing to form committees, canvass
their home neighborhoods, pull door
bells, talk with their friends, urge
them to get out and vote their way,
they are going to win over many
doubtful folks.
If the voters of one party work in
that manner, and their opponents re-
main quiet, the active party will be
the winners. This election will not
be won by sitting around firesides
and hang-outs and deploring the
state of the nation. 1t will be won
by pulling doorbells, shaking hands,
and talking good plain practical

THAT $4,000 SALARY
Lynchburr. Va. News

Senator Couzens of Michigan has
charged that Walter J. Cummings,
treasurer of the Democratic Ma
tiOnal Committee, has been drawing
salaries aggregating 100000 from
corporations who have been getting
loans from the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation.
No man who is drawing pay from
firms seeking loans from the Gov
eminent should at the same time
serve as a high official of the party
in control of the Government and as
political side-partner of high Off
cial in that Government.

AS PAY DAY COMES


Representatives in Congress and
Senators up for reelection don't
like to come before the country with
a billiOn-dOllar tax bill. Their atti-
tude is not prompted by any solicit
tude for the taxpayer. Il is their
own official skins that they are con-
cerned about. That explains their
reaction to the Presidents proposal
for levy to produce S1,12O, OOO, 600.
Congress has been a lavish spend
er. IL has piled up obligations,
blandly obliviOus of the fact that the
day of reckoning was bound to come.
It has not been alone in the Offend
ing. The whole administration has
been recklessly unmindful of the
necessity of thrift. It has been fatu-
Ously unimpressed with the public's
anxiety at the mounting costs. AS
the time approaches for an account
ing of its stewardship, its compla-
cency departs.
1t surely was incumbent on the
Administration to have watched ex-
penditures closely. practiced the Sc
verest practicable economy and so |
retained the public popular admira-
tion and confidence inspired 10y its
brilliant assault on the enemy in the
first hundred days.
In that obligation its has failed,
