When a piece Of machinery
goes down by wearing out or

picked when there are no parts
for such machinery in town, and
much time would be lost in send
ing for them to a factory or the

Automotivc Machine shop, says
this is where his shop has render
ed an exceptionally helpful serv-
ice by making parts for various
types Of machinery. In addition
to its general machine work. this

than the other.

constant steam and the lack of ventilation mad

to be peppered with holes. Rain had collected IN
pools on hardwood floors; artistic wall paper was
ruined wallboard was reduced to a pulp, and all
metal fixtures were covered with rust. Some OF
the houses were discovered Enthusiastically perched
on live tree stumps. 1t seems that, when the vii

right places were simply sawed off to serve as coun-
ter posts 1t happened that the trees selected were
fast-growing spruces and poplars In the course OF
time these houses will be habitabe, if at all, only
by tree-dwellers.
Now this, mind you, not supposed to be a
jerry-built village. 1t was designed as a model
housing venture and it cost the American people
the round sum of 100000. Workers and the
administrative force of the Passamaquoddy power

never vet had that experience.
All my life | have lived under an
oligarchy in a nation which calls
itself Il democracy, and which
thinks it is a democracy, but
which in most of its states and
its communities is an oligarchy.
If you don't at first get my
meaning, Webster's definition of
"oligarchy" may clear the Obscur-
ity. Listen:
"Oligarchy: Government bv the
few; a form of government in
which the powr is in the hands
of a few, or state so governed;
also those who form the ruling
few. 1t is commonly distinguished
from an ariStocracy as being the
rule of u few for corrupt or sell
fish purposes"
Now doesn't that definition of
oligarchy describe to a nicely the
usual behavior of whatever politi-
cal party cOnquers the other, in
the periodical battles of ballots
We can never have a democ-
racy as long as we line up in le-
gally constituted armies against
ourselves.
Nebraska has sounded the note
Of freedom i'm abolishing her old
two-partE legislature with its up
per and lower buck-passing hous-
es and substitute for it a non
partisan legislature with only one
chamber.
One of the gravest dangers
which always menaces any con-
stitutional government. and which
must be constantly watched and
guarded against, is the override

A distinguished member of Congress IS
authority for the statement that II the TO-

tions making above $4,000 annually was
confiscated, it would pay the expenses OF

in each year. Of course the government
may eventually arrive at the point OF SOAK

but at present only fourth to half OF
this income is exacted by the federal gov

Even now the little fellow is beginning to
see how it is that he is the victim or the
soaking, and is beginning to awaken to the
fact that the ballyhoo is a trick to fool the

The Congressman referred to has pre-
sented figures to show that there are cases
in which more than hundred taxes are
levied on commodities which are classed
as necessities by the time they reach con-
sumers. For example, Sc of the price of an
average $50 suit of clothes is taxes. And
