it was quite a feat. Why, some of the
4.OOO-ton 25OO's don't run like that now

One of the reasons for my story is to
keep the records straight You know, back
about 1893 the Seaboard had a knockout

that was the first palace car in the south.

Well. the word flashed right up the line

he sort of sensed something was going to

Mr. Heilig heard the conductor whistle go

eased up, gentle like, and the special di-

there are some old codgers down in We'll

the $40 slipped out of town.
Well, Mr. Williams says the messages

churches and hampering denomina-
tional programs in many States
and communities.
Your church and my church can
obtain their sustenance only in con-
tributions from whatever surplus
the donor may have on hand after
taxes have been paid. Under the
present system of taxation, or
rather the lack of tax system, the
taxpayer can seldom accumulate q
surplus, and as result religious
activities are retarded. Many of
those who once supported the
church in an adequate and substan-
tial way have been forced to cur.
tail religions contributions. They
are now compelled to- 1.-THE to the
politicians instead of to the Lords
work.
In many states preachers are be-
coming tax-minded. They frankly
discuss tax problems with legisla-
tors. Largely because Of this influ-
ence a recent session Of the Texas
Legislature adjourned without levy
ing any more taxes although it
was called to raise fifteen million
dollars.
The very sources from which the
churches must derive their revenue
are being taxed out of existence by
National, State and local agencies.
Any man or woman who ever
served on q church finance COM
mittee knows full well that "bur-
densome taxes" is too. often heard
as reason for failure to adequately
meet these obligations. A church
cannot balance its budget by soak
ing the rich" The politicians have
preempted that field to a point
where they are now soaking the
churches"
The National Congress and many
Of the State Legislatures have
found it impossible to evolve a pro-
gram OF taxation adequate to pro-
duce revenue to equal present ex-
penditures and at the same time
permit business, large and small, to
survive. There is no escaping the
economic rule that excessive taxes
inevitably result in inadequate COM
pensation to workers. There is a
definite and distinct relation be-
tween the tax roll and the pay roll

Kilby, and you know, there are people
right now claim they heard it slam back
in Newsoms, 23.1 miles back, and others
say they heard it plain as day in the Ports
mouth Shops, 1875 miles up the line-but
old-timers say Mr.. Heilig was driving the
Newsoms, but got to Kilby before it came
out of the whistle, and reached Bowers
Hill before it could get all the way out
Well, he cleaned up those 29 miles from
Kilby to Suffolk in just 2 minutes flat

slowing down for Suffolk account of some
city ordinance of some kind. They had the
same kind of slow-up laws then at Sea-

messages like this every two or three min

getting these kilograms he couldn't even
