on liquor purchases. Here is a posi-
bility that might prove an easy way
out. People who buy liquor will not
feel small additional tax, and it
can be kept low enough to at least
not encourage bootlegging. With the
40-mill limit in effect, and opposition
along SO many lines for raising more
funds, it is safe to say there will be
considerable serious thought to taking
up the tax slack by adding a small
tax on liquor sales. At any rate the
coming session of the legislature is
going to be a most interesting gather
ing which will be closely watched all
over the state. Some signs of moro
careful Legislature than the state has
had for many years are clearly visible.

SMOKE RINGS

The 1899 legislative session promis
es to be one Of the most important
in the history of the state. Many pre-
legislative conferences held all over
the state by legislative-elect members
indicate the popular interest in this
session is greater than for many years
past. Two outstanding issues are al
ready in the foreground social Sc
curity and its varying allied agencies,
and taxation. Social security has ad-
vanced in this state, and nation too
for that matter, to major program.
Allied with social security proper is
the vexing old-age problem. The com
ing. session of the legislature is to be
comparatively conservative, at least
all pre-legislative trends point that
way. Governor Martin is apparently
going to handle the throttle. Republi-
can and conservative democrats will
be in the majority, and in most in
stances will work fairly close togeth-
err, and both will be inclined to TO-
low Governor Martins suggestions.
The governor has repeatedly said the
taxpayers should not be asked to
raise more taxes. That idea meets
with general approval in the state.
But the old-age problem and social
security agencies seem to need more
funds. The schools say more funds are
necessary, or at least a shuffling of
the distribution methods. 1t is OBJ
vious that if the program the state
has been following is to be continued,
more money will be needed. Some
sources advocate increasing the sales
tax to 8 cents, but that added one
cent boost will meet with general OPP
position over the state. Other groups
advocate removing exemptions from
the sales tax law. That, too, will meet
with opposition Another group is
studying the possibility of raising
more taxes by adding to the sales tax

Naturally the chief topic Of our

the foreign situation and the pos

But they always preface their re-

there will be no war. 1t doesn't

are; they generally agree on that
point.
"Mussolini will talk them out of

WAR would be disastrous for every

empire. Mussolini doesn't want
war and he'll talk them all out

The night in the cafe when Pep

them how our German friends wor-
ship Hitler so fanatically that they
will obey him without the slightest
questioning.

Italy a first-rate power, gotten for
her what she deserves in the face
of the hostility of the whole world.
He has raised our standards Of liv-

corruption and given us unity. He,
