 The Department of Justice in Washington announced that Ca pone's affliction would win him no favors. The department confirmed the rumors to the extent of saying that he had been confined in the prison hospital since last Saturday, when he became ill."
 Term Ends Next January
 Capone was sentenced to Il years imprisonment for evading income taxes on the loot of his mob depre- dations and with time off for good behavior, he would be freed on Jan. l9, 1939. He has been involved in several brawls at Alcatraz, but in all of them he was set upon by other prisoners. Those who have been freed from Alcatraz after serving their terms have described Capone as "the most hated man on the island" and it was said that the constant fear of his life might have contributed to his mental condition.

The well-worn you can

than irritated, for we like
being country. And we
like it more so since we learn
from the United States Pub
lie Health Service, that the
folks residing in the country
live a healthier and a longer
life than the folks that live
in the city. We have a lower
rate for almost every cause
of illness, and have fewer
doctors and medical aids for
treatment of what illnesses.

many things in the city to

that all of us have a part,
for no matter what the occu-
patton may be, large or small,
each is a link in the chain
which holds up our living
standards above the rest of
the nations of the world. But
how have we all contributed
to make these living stand
ards possible? We have
done it through the labor of
our minds and our hands, and
it is this labor that has made
this nation progress and build
itself up. And so in 1882
the Knights of Labor desig-
mated a day to be set aside
as a remembrance of the con-
tinual efforts by the Amer
lean workman that has never
ceased. Thus is our Labor
Day celebrated throughout
the country, which inaugu-
rates the stamina and power
of our laboring force.

we have progressed with the
times, availing ourselves of
modern conveniences and
keeping abreast of new and
required 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 contracted by living
so close to each other would
naturally be harder to con-
troll 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 by rural
jewellers as far back as the
year 1907.

New Taxes Sure to Come,
Senator Harrison Warns
Another Federal Deficit of Four Billion Dollars Faces
Country; New Sources of Revenue Sought; More
Persons to Be Hit.

sman. Yet, a., serious attempt to
raise revenue to balance federal ex-
penseS must include levieS on the
lower incomes as well as other new
taxes that apply generally.
To Search for NetU
Tax Possibilities
Senator Harrison's committee will
search through all of the various tax
possibilities in the next three or
four months. 1t will have to do
that. The house committee on ways
and means, which considers tax leg
islation in the house, will not have
the courage to go as far in adding
to the tax burden. It never has had
that much courage for the reason
that its members come up for cleo
ton every two years-and, again,
taxes are unpopular things for a pol
itician. Thus, we will have to look
to the Harrison committee if prog
ress is made in bringing the nation
tax receipts into some relation with
its spending.
The addition of new taxes is a
serious matter, yet it appears that
new taxes cannot be avoided. We
have had our play time, our fun.
We have danced; now, the fiddler
must be paid. When new taxes are
added, the buying power of every
person paying the tax is reduced by
that amount. But through five
years, money has been spent by the
government in ways that put to
shame the famed drunken sailor
ashore for the first time in a year.
Waste, wreckage, nit-wit plans and
programs-al have cost billions of
dollars.
AS everyone knows, when new
taxes are added, a greater percent
age of the country's voting inhabi-
tants are included.
So, maybe the veteran Senator
Harrison has a two-fold purpose in
mind, and it takes courage for him
to have either one of the two ideas
because he is in politics. Maybe he
sees the necessity for substantial
curtailment of federal spending and
realizes at the came time that the

HAY-FEVER SEASON

There is something to be
said for the man who was
arrested for going through a
red light and gave as his
excuse-a sneeze. The Judge
released him, and it is our
opinion that His Honor
might have been a hay-fever
victim and could appreciate
anything dealing with a
sneeze. This time of year is
the worst for hay-fever suf-
ferers, and if you don't
think they suffer ask anyone
who has awaited this period
with dread--and nose tissues.
One might imagine the early
and heavy rains had eased
the situation and lesened the
spreading of fatal pollen.
Maybe they did, but they also

These. as the new National Small Business Mems
Association views matters, needed immediate

/. Government retirement from business com

2 Taxes for revenue only;
3. Repeal by Congress of all laws deIegatLhs

4. Belief in social security but insistence upon
a pay as you-go policy; and
). Belief in the Wagner labor relations act
but its amendment to provide equal rights for en-
ploycr and employee.
Innumerablt thoughtful citizens will concur that
these are needed reforms but organized mnortles
with selfish interests to be adversely Affected

WHY TROOPS?

During the campaign Edgar Brown conferred
upon Governor Johnston the title Of Machine Gun
DIN" and now the governor seems bent upon con
tinuing to deserve it.
His move in using troops to seize and lmpound
Charleston ballots and Democratic club rolls was
surprising, and his latest step, in having the rec
ords thrown open by the troops to representatives
of one side in the dispute, is even more So
If irregularities fraud figured in any degree
in the second primary in Charleston, Greenvllle or
anywhere else the full facts ought to be brought
to light by the Democratic committee of course,
and proper remedial steps should De taken.
1t is inconceivable, however, in the light of Bur
net Maybank's majority of more than $4,000, that
anything would be found that would affect the re-
suit But that is beside the point.
1t is unwhoesome for the state that the gov
ernor again has chosen to employ machine gun
methods to settle what ought to be peaceful civil

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
nv RODNEY BUTCHER

VoSka on duty here early in 1914,
raising funds, holding meetings,
contracting newspapers and poll
ticians.
Working closely with the Brit
ish Intelligence Service, especially
Captain Gaunt and Sir William
Wiseman, VoSka established spy
service of his own which en-
ployed at least 80 people. And
the exposure he made Of German
and Austrian plotting in tins
country helped materially to BRING
the United States into the war.
The large number of Americans
of Czech blood not only provided
Masaryk with more than a half
million dollars for such work, but
in cities like New York, Chicago,
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, which
had and have large Czech popu-
lations, made his program . vital
part of public opinion.
Voska was one Of the ablest OF
all the spies and propagandists
who flooded the United States
from European countries as soon
as war began. His activities here
were one of the largest factors
that led to establishment of the
Czechoslovak Republic which is
now so grayely threatened.
DEN COHEN, general counsel
- for the National Power Policy
Committee, close friend of Frank
furter and member of the famous
Corcoran-C Cohen brain-truSt team,
decided to vacation in Europe in
the hope that he could aid Jewish
refugees from Austria, Germany,
and Italy. Former secretary OF
the American Zionist Committee
in association with Justice Bran
deis, and two years representa-

WTASHINGTON.-The rush of
w propaganda intended to line
up the United States with one or
the other of the European factions
has been going on for some time.
Should war break, it will imme-
diately redouble, and truth will
be the first casualty in this as in
all wars.
There will be less excuse for
being miSled this time, however,
for over at the State Department
in the Office of Munitions Control
a series of earnest conferences
are going on.
Foreign propagandists are reg
istering in accord with a law
which has just gone into effect.
Others are seeking expert advice
as to whether they have to regis
ter. If they do under the law, they
must set down the names of their
employers, the character of their
activities, what they are paid, and
what their duties are.
The intent of the law is to
enable the American people to tell
who is feeding them what prop
Uganda. Registration data is open
to all. Failure TO register subjects
the agent to a fine up to $1,000 and
a Jail term up to two years.
Like all laws, this one is not
bullet-proof. But it should help,
and the early rush of propagan-
distS TO register shows that at least
some of the more obvious propa-
ganda programs will be revealed
for what they are, thus enabling
people to divide their product by
the proper common denominator
Possibility of the CzechS being
involved in war recalls their very
effective propaganda in the United
States which began the moment
war was declared in J9l4 and con-
tinued throughout the period OF
our neutrality, redoubling of
course as soon as the United States
was in the war.
