The State auditor has finished
the task of auditing the county
books and his report on the county
finances will be 0btainable when

keep an eye on how the county is
spending their morcy if they waite h
the different reports and also sec
what the Supervisors are doing
in the way of eliminating unnc~es
sary expenses in carrying on tln
county business. Taxpayers are
becoming more tax conscious
every day and are beginning to
take an interest in how tn air
money is being spent not only In
the county Drt also in the state
and national government. Taxes. n

Hitchhikers are Often
Dangerous; Pass 'em

From personal observation this
spring the "thumbers" are r,ore
numerous and persistent than ever.
You see them lining up along the
roadways asking for free rides
Many Of them are well dressed and
present a favorable appearance.
Some carry grips and handbags.
And a few lately have carried
signs on the luggage, indicating
the city they wish to reach through
the lifts that generous motorists
may offer them
Usually they park themselves at
some important intersection or
highways or at arterial stop points
probably figuring they will be oct
ter noticed when the car driver has
to slow down or stopin their I'M
mediate vicinity. 1t seems that
numbers Of school and college stu
dents are hitchhiking this season.
especially at weekend periods.
Now a motorist may think he can
tell when a hithiker Is OF good
character and deserving Of a lift.
But it Is we'll to remember that ap-
pearances are often deceptive. The
law is plain on the subject OF
thumbing. 1t forbids hitchhiking
under penalty of fine or imprison-
ment. or course it is not. easy to
refuse. But there are serious dang
ers involved in picking up strarg-
ers. Many tragedies and crimes
have resulted from helping hitch
mixers.
The safe plan is to pass them up
without exception. Motorists are
liable in accidents in which self
invited passengers are injured

New Deal Deception

A hidden tax, of course, is a
tax which the consumer pays
whenever he buys an articcle, Dut
which is hidden" because 1t Is
not paid as a tax but is included Ill
the purchase price.
No matter what you buy, you
paw not one, but dozens of these
hidden taxes-even upon the vital
necessities of life.
For instance, tax analysts nave
shown that there are at least D.
hidden taxes in ever ordinary loaf
of bread.
In a bar of soap there are Ia
hiden taxes.
The price of an average pair OF
shoes includes 125 hidden taxes
and there are 125 hidden taxes
concealed in the cotton dress OF
YOUR wife or sweetheart.
Amazing as this may seem, even
more amazing are the published re-
suits of a nationwide survey
which included men and women IN
every walk and showed that %
per cent of American voters DID
not know that they are paying MD
den taxes at all!
It is a devastating indictment OF
shameful New Deal bamboozing OF
the public who are kept unconsc-
Gus Of the fact that they are being
stubtly coerced into paying ard
paying by the New Dealers whose
only concern is to elect and elect.

and then call up Governor Bob

mean that the Governor will not

Through in the closing hours,
there was an Increased appropria-

farmers of three or four Southern

The money authorized has been
appropriated for the Coronado
