Taxes: Well you haven't seen

Detrimental Taxation

"A news Item IN a minneapolis daily stated that
work has been halted 100000 addition to
the plant of the acknowledgement Regulator
Company, pending the outcome of a vote the pro-
posed increase in state income taxes The House voted
on the bill Monday and it passed by that body by
vote of IA to 35.
1t stated that the proposed schedule of tax
increases would boost the income taxes paid by this
company by more than 100000 annually the basis
of this years payment
This company, which employs 200 people in
Minneapolis has large plants in Indiana Illinois and
Philadelphia, where expanded activities could be
carried Immediately in the event it is decided to
transfer work from Minneapolis.
This is not the only manufacturing concern in
the state which threatens to leave if the proposed
income tax is passed. In fact sometime ago letter

Relief In Sight

While politicians fuss and fume over the welfare
or the farmer agrarian peoples Of this snow-bound
country have had to battle obstacles provided by
ture and from which there will be relief until the
soft glow of the spring suns rays mets the abund-
ant white covered blanket from Mother Earth's face
Being snow-bound has proven to 10th rural and
town folk that mans present efforts to keep the
roads open are inadequate, and with its attendant
loss of business deprivations of comforts and
lack of mail distribution has been too costly and
from the standpoint of motor traffic on county and
township roads, where the bulk of our farmers re-
side, has been pronounced failure. AS result the
farm communities of this section in this motorized
age have been forced to return to the "horse and
buggy days"
Wedge-snaped snow plows on our ungraded
roads have been inadequate to cope with the deep
snow after high banks piled along the road
Sides and then continual drifting eventually blocked
the roads to traffic Reports from farmers to eff
feet that it takes two hours to travel seven miles,
and one farm lady informed the writer that she had
not been in town for two months. Travel from the
road bed has been discarded to make trails through
the fields
All this goes to show that the problem of clear
ing roads of will be solved by present meth
ods and that in order to accomplish the task proper
ly 1t will be necessary to acquire different plows
This Of course, under present prices is extremely
costly. However, we understand that large man
ufacturer is now experimenting with building small
rotary snow pows, which be fastened to farm
power units and which will be very reasonable in
price-in fact very much cheaper than the wedge
shaped plows now in Under that set-up it may
be possible to have at least of these plows for
say three townships, more less necessity de-
mands. We understand these plows will be built dur
able and will be made to clear the roads in sections
By which we mean that side of the road will be
cleared and the return trip the other side will be
taken. Business has been at standstill during the
winter, and both the farmer and businessmen have
suffered losses From that standpoint il would be
worthwhile it will possibly be start to keep the
roads cleared of snow throughout the winter.

"Angel of Mons" Story
Made Plenty Realistic

THE legend of the miraculous in
L tervention of angelic bowmen
under the patron saint of England,
st. George, during the British re-
treat from Mons in August, 1914,
was invented by the English author,
Arthur Machen. He wrote a story
called "The Bowmen" which APP
peared in the Daily News of London
on September 20, 1914. This was an
entirely fictitious account of how,
during the days when the British
were hard pressed by the enemy, an
English soldier happened to utter
the motto Gin Latin): MAY st.
George be a present help to the
English"
Immediately after he had spoken,
he saw "beyond the trench, a long
line of shapes, with a shining about
them. They were like men who drew
the bow, and with another shout,
their cloud of arrows went singing
and tingling through the air toward
the German hosts"
This story was Immediately taken
up as an authentic record, states a
writer in the Detroit News. Soldiers
back from the trenches told of it as
eyewitnesses.
