IF TAXES ARE REDUCED CITY
EMP.OYE WAGES WILL BE
REDUCED ACCORDINGLY

Editor of The Democrat:
The Citizens Good Government
speakers sell us on one day that city
employees will not lose their jobs or
their wages under the city manager
plan and then the next day they
point to other cities and say they
viii reduce the tax rate.
Now anyone knows that rs or so
per cent of our taxes 60 for payroll
and interest on bonds. The bond IN
terest rate cannot be reduced so the
only way they car reduce taxes is to
reduce wages and then all city en-
ployes, teachers, firemen, policemen
and others will suffer accordingly.
There you are.-which Of these
statements are we to believe-one of
them Is wrong.

Selected Poem
AsTERs AND GoLDENRoD

ASTERS AND GOLDENROD
The asters said to the golden rod:
THE year is waning fast;
The lovely flowers of summer
Cannot any longer last:
And the autumn hours OF glory
Will all too soon be past;
SO when leaves are gold and crimson,
And the skies hay blue,
And the colors of the foliage
Are mixed in varied hue,
Let us add one blue and yellow
To the fields along the way;
Let us help the world be joyous
AS it greets, an autumn day."
So now there is ever the beauty
OF asters and goldenrod bright;
And they lend radiant rapture
To autumn's mystic light

gift would mean more to boy

year-old James, jr., with the prize
horse which the postmaster gem

The very subject of radio gets
me to rsving. and though we have
a radio Of our own. we at least try
TO take the neighbors into consid-
GRAFTON and turn II off at reason
able hour. or keep 1t tuned down
when we do run IL late.
/ wish our next door neighbors
would have the same regard for
our feelings. but they keep their
radio going at full blast all day
long. 1t Is nerve-wraeking enough
during the day but when II keeps
roaring into the late hours every
night. II Is more than we can stand.
II Is impossible to get to sleep with
that noise being pounded out each
night. When asked our neighbor
10 at least tune his radio down at
night time tiaiel he haughtily told
me that he had a right" to run
his radio as long and loud as he
pleased. Needless 10 say. we are
still kept awake nights by the noise
emanating from his house.
II some radio owners had better
manners and more consideration
for others, this would be a much
pleassnter world to live in.
Can anything be done to force
this man TO be more quiet neigh

In only on the lowest jazz music
he can find. Swing bands are his
fsvorites. so you can see how my
wifc's and my own nerves are being

DISGUSTED NEIGHBOR.
You certainly have just cause
for complaint. I can think of
nothing more nerve wracking
than a swing band going its
loudest, late at night. They are
bad enough during the day.
However. I doubt IL there is
anything you can do about your
troublesome neighbor. / believe
there Is no law that compels him
10 turn his radio down II he
prefers to have 1t going full blast.
You, unfortunately, happen to be
the neighbor of an inconsiderate
soul who does not have the good
breeding TO think OF another per-
sons feelings and comfort.

remark out OF my mind. II I
thought he really meant 1t. would
leave rather than force myself on

Please tell me II you have had

fore and what would you advise

Forget IL. OF course, l have
heard stories like this from wives

we tell the persons we love most
that we hate" them, in moments
of anger. but anger is just an
other form OF intoxicstion. Your
husband said this because at the
particular moment he wanted to
hurt you. The man who really
hates his wife seldom tells her

than words. so forget your hus-
bands little-boy TRADE and you
will no doubt find him being ex-
ira kind in order to make up for
