INSULTING AMERICAN INTELLI-
GENCE

Chronic deficits mean but one
thing Insolvency. And whether II
concerns an individual. business CT
nation, insolvency denotes ruin, In
exorable and final.
The federal government has not
balanced its budget for nearly de-
cade. II has reached the chronic
deficit stage. The politicians, al
though they feel that IL is dangerous
to try to seize any more of the peo-
pies wealth in the form of taxes,
cannot resist the temptation to
spend more and more borrowed pub
lie money on the plea that the coun-
try is wealthy and need have no
fear of a huge debit Such a plea is
utterly false. 1t is an insult to the
intelligence of the American people.
OF course the country is wealthy.
If it were not, the squandering
officeholders would have wrecked It
long ago. But this wealth admittedly
cannot all be confiscated in the form
of taxes to pay the debts of govern
ment. The extreme limit of this
kind of seizure has about been
government tax in
come is nearly at the maximum until
the day when more wealth is created.
The only alternative is to decrease
if insolvency of the federal
is to be avoided.

BEYOND UNDERSTANDING

A left-wing supporter of the Pat
man chain-store tax measure re-
Gently offered the novel argument
that the chains are exaggerating
when they say the bill would rapidly
destroy them. They have absorbed
heavy taxation in the past, it is rea-
soned: as a result, il can be as
sumed they can absorb still heavier
taxation in the future and continue
in business at the same old stand.
Such reasoning seems childish
coming from anyone who has trOu-
bled to read the incredible Patman
bill which provides that taxes are TO
be graduated up to $1,000 per store
for all stores in excess of 500 in a
single chain-and then multiplied by
the number OF states, including the
District of Columbia, in which they
operated
A specific example may be helpful.
In the case of the two largest Ameri-
can chains-one selling foodstuffs,
the other a 5-and-10-the tax would
be $4,000 per year each on the bulk
of stores operated by the chains. That
is five to fifty times as much as the
stores within these chains
earn each year. In other words,
prices would have to be Increased to
an extent which would destroy the
stores patronage at once. The re-
suit of such taxation would seem
TO be self-evident without argu-
ment.

HINTS 70 FARMERS

Now that cold weather is at hand
house mice may be expected to leav,
open fields and seek food and sheltei
in houses and other buildings where
they can gain entry.
So says John NJ. Amos, extension
entomologist at the University OF
Delaware, who has outlined several
measures to aid in keeping mice
from become established boarders in
homes.
"The first thing to do" Amos said,
lis to inspect and repair cracks and
crevices through which mice might
enter. Holes about water pipes,
basement windows, coal chutes, ETC.,
fall in this category.
"0ther preventative measures in
clude storing food such as seeds.
grain, etc, in tight containers and
the removal Of rubbish which accu-
mulates in many homes. Articles of
old clothing he pointed out. pro
vide ideal quarters for mice, espe-
cially when they are stored in mac
cessible places. Such materials
should be removed and disposed of or
packed in naphthalene. moth balls,
or paradichloFobenzin crystals
which will repel the mice as well as
protect the clothes from moth dam
ages"
Where mice have already establish
ed themselves, they may be removed
by either of two methods, according
to Amos. The first of these is by
trapping. The common wooden or
metal snap trap is inexpensive and
effective il properly set and baited
Freshly fried bacon, sardines. cheese,
peanut butter and rolled oats are all
effective bats when fastened firmly
TO the triggers of the traps. The
traps should be set with the triggers
facing walls or natural runways and
the triggers should be adjusted to
release on the slightest touch. Nu-
merous places can be found to make
the sets near boxes, sacked feed and
the like, especially along walls.
The second method outlined by
Amos requires the use of poisoned |
bait and should be used with extreme
care where small children. pet stock |
or other conditions may make IL
dangerous.
Bats made with oats and wheat |
are inexpensive. easily prepared. and
readily accepted by house mice. Since !
wheat bait is less inclined TO mold |
and spoil its use is suggested as a
bait to carry on hand for some
time.

4MUsTs. FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY

Julien H. Harvey, managing di-
rector of the National Conservation
Bureau, lists six vital 'musts" for
the solution of Americas Number 1
accident problem-the street and
highway death and injury toll.
First, all drivers must be licensed,
and only after stringent tests.
Second, real, not perfunctory
physical examinations of drivers at
periodic intervals is important.
Third, all high school students
should be educated in safe driving,
through specially devised courses.
Four, there must be more string
ent enforcement of laws affecting
both drivers and pedestrians by the
police and traffic courts.
Fifth, ticket fixing must be 100
per cent eliminated.
Lastly. all safety organizations
should give their primary effort to-
ward discouraging the speed mania
cause of the bulk of SER
ious accidents.
These "musts" provide a we'll
rounded traffic safety program, with
in the power Of any state or COM
munity to meet They touch the all
important MISREPRESENTATION, ex-
animation and law enforcement.
They deal with specific cures-not
more or less meaningless generali-
ties, and represent the only kind of
which has a chance for Der-
manent success.
America has had enough Of reck-
less drivers-of ignorant youth TAX
Ing the wheel for the first time-of 1
he ticket-fixing racket that let's the /
guilty man with pull go freeof the
ealIous indifference toward others
hat the speed maniac displays. Ey-
cry one of the 48 states, every one OF
he thousands of villages and cities
n the land. must give its energies to
solving the traffic problem.

Complex yet Simple

Imagine fifteen telephones all wired
together so that each can be con-
nected with each of the others.
Now multiply by MILLION and
scatter them all over the United States.
But keep them all wired together! Or
to be more practical-add enough
switching equipment so that any two
can be connected instantly ] You now
have a simPIiGed picture Of the Bell
System.
Perhaps this gives you some idea
why there is s239 worth Of plant and
equipment for every Bell telephone
in Delaware. And why we need more
than 400 highly trained people to
serve Delaware's 42,7O0 Bell tele-
phones. And why it takes careful,
experienced management to give you
at low cost the worlds finest
telephone service.
In spite of this amazing comPlexity,
the use Of the telephone is simplicity
itself. You can reach an old friend
hundreds of miles away in a minute
or two. You'll hear clearly-as if
talking face-to-face. You can call 100
miles (station-io-station) for only IS
cents any night after z or any time
