 The A. Polet Store is offering 40 free votes in the queen con- test for every dollar cash pur- chase or paid on account.
 The Yenney Water Delivery has also publicly announced an increased offer of queen votes 40 votes free with dollar cash purchase or paid on account.
 The Daily Nugget has two special offers-1000 votes free with each $l0 6 months, paid in advance subscription-and 100 free votes with each dollar paid on past due subscriptions or new ones paid up from now until March 3rd.

THE AGING WORKER

The U. S. Department of Labor is
studying the tendency to refuse EN-
ployment to workers whose ages are
over 45 or 50 years. 1t has long been
complained that if "a worker loses his
job at that age or over. even if he
is in no way at fault. it is very diff
ficult for him to obtain a new chance.
1t is sometimes said that it is
more costly to employ such older
people. because under pension sys-
TENS, they will fairly soon become
a burden on industry. If there is
in the laws that discourages
the employment of older workers.
such provisions should be modified.
The people over As and so years are
capable of rendering very valuable
service, and adding enormously TO
the prosperity of the country. Means
should be found by which all able
to work can find employment.

FALL CAMPAIGNS START

The fall is a period of new begin
nings. The business man takes hold
of his problems with renewed energy.
and is full of plans for the coming
season. The churches are resuming
their activities, and hope to enlarge
their membership. Social and edu-
cational societies have their pro-
grams, by which they hope to fill the
winter season with pleasure and
profit.
In the bright autumnal days of
September and October, people
should be full of desire to accom-
plish things not achieved before.
The world is attracted by the con-
Germ that is hustling to enlarge its
busines. 1t is pleased by the church
that gives the glad hand to all. 1t
likes the society that has wide awake
meetings and events. Let us take
hold of all activities in Milford with
hearty enthusiasm. and all forms of

FORCES OF COMMUNITY
PROGRESS

The group of people in any town
who are engaged in retail trade are
perhaps as a whole the most power
full force for pushing the community
ahead. They feel so keenly the
necessity of progressive measures, of
keeping their home town attractive,
that you can depend on them for the
aid that is needed to make a town
hold its own and grow.
If organizations are needed to pro-
mote the interests of community,
the local merchants usually do the
bulk Of the work. If money has to
be raised for public causes. they are
to contribute literally. and
they do. Considering how they work
to push their home town ahead, it
seems only fair for their townspeOple
t0 give their business patronage to
those stores.

CONCENTRATED POWER

John Hamilton, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, says
that the country has to decide wheth-
er it wants a social, economic, and
political collectivism under the guild
ance of one man. The supporters OF
the present administration will prob
ably deny that they want anything
that can be called "collectivism'.
However, President Roosevelts
philosophy seems to call for large
grants of additional power to the
Federal government. under the lead
ership of the occupant of the White
House, whoever he may be in future.
1t is argued that our original form
of government is too loose jointed
and dispersed. The 4S states all have
their different laws. Many problems
go unsOlved, it is declared, because
the states won't cooperate, or they
pull in contrary directions. We must
have more concentrated power to
deal with the great forces of modern
economic life, it is declared.
1t is argued against that idea, that
the reason why our government has |
stood while other republics have fal- |
len, is that our system gives much in
dependence and elasticity to the vari-
GUS states. If they had all been regi-
mented into one fixed system. it is
declared, the country would have
gone to pieces long ago.
1t is further argued that the cOun-
try is so enormous and its interests
so varied, that the job of governing
it all from Washington is too compli-
Gated. A too powerful central govern
ment, it is said, will break down from
the weight of its own failings and
errors.
Do our people prefer the unified.
strong action of a central govern
ment with much power given to the
head of the government? Or do they
think the states and localities should
still exercise the major degree of con-
troll over their own affairs? On this
question fateful issue depend.

FATAL HOLIDAYS

The total number of deaths oc-

accidents and drownings account for
most of these tragedies.
People turn out on holidays with a
cheer'on their lips and brightness In
their eyes, rejoicing in freedom from
toll. Some of them rejoice so in
that the day ends in the
gloom Of accident and death. Peo-
pie are safest when plugging along

CATCHING THE CROOKS

People sometimes get discouraged
about the prevalence of crime. II
is easier for the crooks who perpe-
trate some evil deed to jump into an
automobile, and soon be far from the
scene of their act, so it is difficult
to track them.
The automobile goes fast with its
load of fleeing crooks, but there is
something still faster. That is the
power of money If you offer $10,-
900 reward in New York for the cap
ture of some crook. the authorities
Of San Francisco or any other city
can be informed of that offer in a
single minute. The forces of human
desire are at once set to work.
1t would seem that the one great
mistake which the forces of law and
order are making in their war on
crime is this failure to use the power
OF money to track down the criminal
element. Money will buy a great
deal of information. Whenever such
things are done, there are people who
know about them.
If a reward of $1,000 was offered
for information leading to the con-
viction of someone for crime, many
people would say the reward was
not sufficient to induce them to take
risk there might be in CIV
ing the information. But if that re-
ward was made $4,000 or $25,O0O, |
plenty of people would take that
risk. and the gang that committed
hat foul deed would be rounded up.

WAR AND BUSINESS

If the world is headed for some
new explosion of war. what will be
the effect on business and industry
in this country?
In the earlier part of the World
War, before the United States was
sucked into that bloody whirlpool,
our country seemed to get marked
accession of prosperity from that
conflict The fighting powers bought
war material, wheat and cotton, steel
and copper, and many others things
Where our industries had been suf-
fering from stagnation, within a few
months they were humming with ac-
tivity.
These goods were paid for largely
by promises to pay at some future
date. The United States went on
lending and lending until the war
ended. The bulk of that debt will
never be paid. Not much prosperity
to be had in that kind of business
Even if all war supplies bought in
such an emergency were paid for in !
cash, nothing can ever offset the
harm that war does, even if it is a |
war on foreign shores. War pro-
duces a temporary stimulus, but it
is like the rapid pulse beat of the
sufferer from fever. When the
fever is past, the patient is left weak.
The American people fear the re-
suits of so-called war prosperity,
and they want to. encourage all ma
tions to keep the peace. In case the
present wars spread, embargoes may
be placed on the export of war ma
terials, so the artificial stimulus that
gave American business such boost
in 1914 will not probably be seen [
again. Wars abroad need not neees- [
safily produce depression at home. s
The American people should have I
plenty to do supplying their own I
needs. 'f--+-.s
The peoples of the Orient may con-
-fnue to tear at each others throats
with fatalistic fury. The European =
nations should have some common T
sense. They may shake their fists, a
sharpen their weapons, and talk n
mighty big. But underneath they
must realize since 1918, that war set
ties no problems and produces no .

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

Special SessiOn-Chances are about
even for special session in Novem-
ber. There is still the belief that
farm legislation and wage and hour
legislation should be acted upon be-
fore January. A special session in
the Fall would help do away with
some of the important legislation
which would otherwise have to be
taken up at the regular session.
Tax Readiustment- entire tax
structure of the country is being
studied and President Roosevelt is
planning to recommend to Congress
readjustment of taxes. These
] changes will include a revised pro-
| cessing tax that would be borne by
individual commodities for which new
taxes are expected to be voted at the
next session, and a tightening of
taxes now existing. in such a way
that there will be no possible chance
for modification of the capital gains
tax or the tax ON the undistributed
portion of corporation earnings.
O.
EducatiOn-Nearly a half billion
dollars have been expended by the
Federal Government in support of
public education in the States in the .
past four years. The Federal Gov I
ernment has always provided some !
assistance to States in supporting
public education. In the coming
session there will be much taken up
in regard to education. The Harri

session may be the base of a per-
