Last Saturday saw the end of the
time for filing declarations of cand-
idates for public office in the two
major parties.
On Tuesday, September Is, the
voters Of the state will select from
a non-partisan type Of blanket pri-
mary ballot those men and women
in whose hands they desire to place
the affairs Of the national, state and
county governments for the next
two and four years. The voters viii
at the same time select superior
court and supreme court judges.
The fact that the nominating pri-
maries are virtually . way Of NOM
mating directors Of q great corpora
ton is overlooked by the average
man and woman voter. Because of
this fact, too much care cannot be
taken In picking candidates, espec-
tally for legislative offices.
The voters this year viii name 80
members Of the House Of Represent
atives, and 26 of the IS members Of
the state Senate are to be elected.
In the hands Of the Legislature
rests the future welfare and pros
perity Of the state. In selecting the
candidates for these offices, the
time has come when-and this Is
especially true under the blanket
primary system-when partisan pol
itics must be set aside. Candidates
must be named upon their ability
background and general regulations
as earnest, solid, substantial citizens
Of the state and nation.

live a healthier and q longer life
than the folks that live In the city.
We have a lower rate for almost
every cause Of illness, and have few
er doctors and medical aids for
treatment Of what illness we do
have. There are so many things
in the city to help in the prevention
Of disease, so many ways Of max
ing their environment and living
conditions more healthy, while most
of us in the country just 60 on liv-
ing and using the same methods Of
surviving that our families before
us used and figure that was good
enough for their health is good
enough for ours. OF course, we have
progressed with the times, availing
ourselves of modern convenience
and keeping abreast of new and re-
quired equipment, but when you
compare the health and medical
means received by the city dweller
and those same things that are
more difficult to find in the rural
communities, it is something else
that gives us this longer life. OF
course those diseases that are con-
tracted by living so close to each
other would naturally be harded to
control in the closely populated
areas. However, the service for our
public health points out that the
"life expectancy in cities now has
reached the point Of expectancy en-
joyed by rural jewellers as far back
at the year 1900"

BROADEN THE TAX BASE

Every thinking citizen should sup
port the drive that will be made In
the next congress to broaden the tax
base, which would awaken a larger
number Of people to what govern
ment finance means to them, by
levying direct taxes. Of nominal
amounts, in the lower income brac-
kets. ..... -. ...
This drive can't be dismissed as
an insidious plan by erich reaction
aries" to make the poor pay the ma
tional bills. It's principal sponsor Is
Senator LaFollette. who belongs to
the left wing bloc of the senate. And
. great many congressman. OF radi-
cal as well as conservative tend
encies. are behind it.
We have reached the point where
taxing the rich" is no solution to
the fiscal problem. If the entire in
comes of all persons earning $685.
600 q year or more were confiscated
the revenue derived would hardly
make a dent in our swollen budget.
At the present time, though rela-
lively few seem to realize it, the
person of small and moderate means
contributes the great bulk Of all
revenue, through hidden taxes that
are part of the cost of every neces-
sity as well as every luxury. Lower
ing the income tax base would both
increase revenue and shock millions
of people who now mistakenly think
they are tax-free, into the realiza-
ton that every man has q tremen-
dous stake in the tax problem.
We have been lodging the issue
too long. The congressman who,
according to reports, are planning to
do everything possible toward leg
A1ixing broader tax base next ses-
sion, are performing public serv-
ice Of the first importance.

drive such institutions from the field

methods, conditions in their respec-
tive field, that their operation is not
detrimental to the American people,
but ON the contrary, is an asset. It
is our further belief that any dis
scriminatory legal procedure taken

press purpose Of driving them from
