Oracle Allen, actress portraying the
dumbell most adequately. after computing
her income tax, has hit on the idea TO
swap her salary for the governments in
come tax. She has something there, even
il il sounds silly. But it isn't As silly as it
sounds. For instance: Alfred P. Sloan,s
salary as chairman Of General Motors, is
S561.sl100; his federal income tax is
Ss5l.sIa.14. So If he had snapped his
net salary for the income tax paid the
government he would have been the
gamer By neat sum. IN other words the
government receives 1851 .3l4.14 from his
salary and he gets only SOS. 1856, diff
ference in favor Of Uncle sam Of amount
ing to s1al.si7.2s. Besides the federal
tax he also has TO pay state tax Of S44.-
65f.ss. furthermore there Is city and
county tax 10 be deducted. After the tax
collectors are through shearing. Mr. Sloan
has I'll his private bills 10 pay. uhiIe Uncle
sam pockets the whole eaboodle. and

THE WRONG VIEWPOINT

The persistence of congress in its search for
sources of revenue" indicates wrong viewpoint
and establishes a wrong principle in this whole
business of raising and spending the public money
1t departs from what should be a democratic
principle of fair distribution of the costs of govern
ment and puts the business of raising revenue upon
the basis of getting all the traffic will bear
Legislators recognize the fact that in demo-
cratic country like there is limit to the
amount of tax the voters will accept without Sc
rious revolt at the ballot box
And so there is continuous effort in congress,
and in the state legislatures, to find new
Sources of revenue" which will be more or less
invisible" and painless as far the great mass
of voters concerned
The ordinary average citizen pays the taxes, IN
the final analysis, and probably we are fooled by
tariffs and excise taxes by corporation and excess
profits taxes and the like.
And the fact that so much Of our revenue is be-
ing raised in this manner is probably the reason
there is not widespread and determined public
revolt against the and steady increase in
public spending and government expense, both ma
tional and state
But even in this indirect method Of taxation 1t
begins to look as though we may have reached a
limit.-Rock Hill Herald

TOM WATSON ON CORN PLANTING

More than quarter-century ago the famous
agrarian leader and scholar, Tom Watson OF
Georgia, wrote this pen picture of the beauty OF
sping in the rural South at complaining time.
The Progressive Farmer presents it its April
agricultural Classic:
The bluebird was out today out in his gosSl-
est plumage, his throat gurgling with song.
For the sunlight warm and radiant in all
the South and the coming spring had laid its
benedction on every field and hedge and forest.
The poplar leaves are big as squirrel
ears and it's ''time to plant corn
Look north, look east where the sun rises, look
south, look west where the sun sets-on all sides
the scene is the same. In every field the steady
mule, the steady plowman, and the children
dropping corn
The smell of newly plowed ground mingled
with the subtle incense of the yellow jasmine
and from every orchard shower of the BIOS
SONS of peach and apple and pear was waited
into the yard and hung lovingly the caves
and in the piazzas of the old homestead-thc old
faded homestead.
Was there cloud in the sky? Not one, not one.
On such day. such coudless, radiant flower
sweetened day, the horseman slackens the rein as
he rides through the lanes and quiet fields, and
he dares to dream that the children of God once
loved each other
On such day one may dream that the time
might come when they would do so again,-Mor-
canton News-Herald

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TRY HORSE SENSE

While no one will deny the need OF some agency
to come to the relief of citizens in distress, there
is reason for trepidation over the plans Oh the
president to resort again to program Oh Spe"u''s
as a measure to combat our economic lis'
Spending for relief and spending to revive puSl-
ness are two different things The first may De con-
sidered necessary, but the second has ALREADY
proven visionary and futile. Exactly now much
has been spent by the government IN the way o.
pump printing is not at hand, but whatever the
amount, running into the billions, 1t hasnt pro-
dueed the results claimed for it.
The reply so often given to the argument that
the government is on the wrong track. viz. What
have you got to offer the rcmedy?' suggests
what the old preacher told the young pastor "heh
the latter went to him for advice.
The young pastor told the sage old gentleman
that he had tried in vain everything he knew 10
stir up interest in his church. He had tried young
peoples societies, picncS straw rides, DEBATES ana
every sort of innocent amusement he could think
of All had failed.
WELL said the old gentleman, after the young
pastor had unloaded his tale Of woe, now apout
trying little relgon?"
Probably the government is in the same boat
with the young preacher. What it may need now
more than anything else, is not lot of experiments
in sociology but genuine return to horse sense
possibly little "horse and buggy stuff. Give the
country some relief from attacks on business and
let business have freer hand than it has had IN
the past several years Such program made this
country the richest nation of all time. Maybe 1t
would work again.-Laurens Is. c. Advertiser.

BEHIND THE SCENES
~ IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

The hard-headed boys now hope
that, as a result OF the spending
lending program, the traditional
summer doWnSWing can be avoid
ed. Even that, they believe, would
be a real gain and would leave
a better foundation for the pickup
which nearly everyone in the adj
ministration fondly anticipates in
the fall.
II nothing had been done to
avert it, the economists are sure,
the summer slump would have
been quite pronounced, The out
look for retail trade, an extremely
important factor in the business
picture, was especially bad.
And Of course if the spending
lending program is not in any
way effective, the obvious infer
ence is that business will keep
right on slumping into the sum-
mer.
But the economists interviewed
by this writer think that many in
dustries will be infected by the
hope of new business, that many
plants which might soon have
been on the verge of closing will
take new heart and that admins
tration promises of reinforced pur-
chasing power will keep business
off a lower bottom until new PWA
contracts begin to affect the situa-
ton.
All this assumes that Congress
will pass those items of the new
program which require its ap-
nrovaI. The chances are that it
will. But chances Of the Supreme
Court plan, the reorganization bill
and wage-hour legislation also
were, at one time or another, very
bright.

Even million three hundred
thousand would be only one per
cent. And it should be remember

sons say nothing. 1t is the dis
gruntled ones or those with nests

Many a public man has ruined
himself by yielding to vocal mi
nority.
Perhaps it is not fair to the
legislator that the people pleased
with him do not tell him so. Yet
a real statesman pays little heed
to what the people say-he real
ICES that probably they do not
know what they are talking about,
for they have not had the oppor-
tunity, nor the time, nor the in
clination to make an exhaustive
study of public questions.
No public man ever went far
keeping his ear to the ground to
see what the people thought of
him. No public man ever will go
far who is not governed by high
er considerations than that tickle
thing called public opinion. He
understands that he will be all
right if he guesses right, no mat
ter how the public kicks; and that

WASHlNGTON.-One immedi-
ate aim of the new Roosevelt
spending-lending program is the
creation of another infationary
boom which will revive business
activity.
Obvious already is the fact that
Mr.. Roosevelt is not going to get
the united front against the de-
preston which he hoped to align
behind this program.
Seeking TO avoid undue pes
simism or undue optimism, this
writer can report government
economists believe the programs
chief immediate effect will be to
halt defationary forces which I'M
til now have been spiralipg at an
alarming degree.
This group happens to include
those. who accurately foresaw the
present depression. Members of
the group also thought there
would be a "spring rise" in bust
ness and when that failed to mate
rialize went running to the higher
ups to urge infiationary action to
prevent what they feared might
be a real panic.
The most these experts really
hope for the next few months
is that there may now be some
corrections" in certain lines of
business which will level off the
previously down-curving chart
lines of business activity and EN-.
ployment.
Business customarily has an up
turn in the spring and a down.
swing in the summer as a result
of what are called seasonal"
factors. But instead of an upturn
in March, business actually took a
dip.

LET DOG EAT DOG

Probably if the demOcracies
can stay out Of it long enough
the dictators will flv at each 9th
er's threats. Naturally there will
be rivalry and conflict between
them.
And after the dictators have
beaten each other down the de-
mocracics may again have their
chance to shape world affairs.
Looking toward that end the de-
mocracies might do well to avoid
as far as possible antagonizing
the dictators and making them
feel that in sclf-defcnce they
must gang w together. 1t seems
to have been a great mistake that
the democracies so mismanaged
matters as.to allow the dictators
to maneuver themselves into their
present strong positions. How
ever, what is done is done; and
the next best thing to do is to do
that which can be done under the
existing circumstances. Eventual
ly the performances put on by
the dictatorial governments will
be the strongest arguments for
democracy.

BLUE -BOOKIN' US: George

BLUE BOOKIN US: George
Justice, new tax supervisor, is
talking seriously about this tax
listing business. He threatens to
blue-book 'en-that is. take the
automobile blue book and the ros-
ter of cars licensed in this coun-

and perhaps tack on the 10 per
cent penalty increase for failure
to list.
That's very threatening to the

a dollar for gas and the price of
