AMERICAN VIRTUES

In my opinion there has never
been a time in our history when life
insurance has played a more import
ant part in the economic welfare of
the nation and the economic welfare
of the individual" said Senator Rob
ert A. Taft of Ohio recently. In a
time when most people are leaning
on the government. it is based more
than any other institution on the vir-
tues of individual thrift and indus
try. and interprets these virtues into
q happy old age. into education for
cne's children. and into a provision
for ones family after death"
Life insurance, in brief. is a typical
American institution-based on the
American characteristics of individ-
ual pride and independence. That's
why life insurance has developed
here to an extent unparalleled any
where else in the world.

COUNTY DEFICIT FOR
WELFARE NOW $4,000

Pierce County Welfare depart
ment will try to meet the burden
Of the new WPA layoff of employ
ables without reducing present re-
lief budgets of unemployables and
widows, Administrator George M.
V. Brown said Saturday, but al
ready it has run S17,00 into the
red as a result of the Dec. ! cut.
At the present rate at least a
$4,000 deficit appears inevitable
for January. he said. Since no
additional money has come from
Olympia and none is expected until
April after the Legislative session,
next years county funds will have
to foot the bill.
Because single persons have
been receiving more from WPA on
per capita basis than family
men, Brown said, it is hoped most
of them can carry on by them
selves until PWA. unemployment
compensation and spring work
take up the slack.

GRAIN REVIEW

CHlCAGO-W Wheat prices work
ed fractionally higher on Chicago
board of trade Saturday, while
corn was steady.
At the close wheat was up
7, to cent, corn mp to a
cent. and oats to cent
higher.
Trading was fairly active in the
wheat pit for a pre-hohday mar
ket. Scattered demand found a
scarcity of offerings and pushed
prices up for net gains of as much
as X cent.
Corn prices were aided by cash
buying. Local shipping sales were
estimated early at $4,000 bushels
of which $4,000 went to export
interests. The higher wheat mar
ket also encouraged some buying
in corn. The board OF trade will
be closed Monday.

Raleigh, Jan. 21-Comment of leg
islators, particularly members of the
finance committee, indicate that there
is small likelihood that the present
tax of "a cents case of "a bottles of
beer will be increased.
Instead there has developed a de-
cided current of legislative opinion
favorable a new method of collecting
the tax on beer, which would keep the
rate as at present.
The Budget Commission recon-
mended a SO per cent increase in the
beer levy, and shortly after the ses-
Sion convened there were rumblings
Of an attempt to double the current
tax. The Revenue Department two
years ago resisted efforts to change
collection methods.
Present method of collecting beer
taxes is for the wholesaler, dealer or
bother to pay the State levy of So
per barrel or one cent per bottle.
