WHAT OTHERS SAY

Although only the upper one-sixth
of American income earners pay 9
federal tax on their income, that does
not mean that the lower f1ve-sixths
escape federal taxation. Quite the
contrary.
They pay:
Taxes on gasoline, lubricating oil
rubber tires, inner tubes, automobiles
trucks, motorcycles and their parts ano
accessories.
Taxes on whisky, brandy, gin. rum
cordials, wine, beer;
Taxes on cigarets, cigars, snuff
chewing and smoking tobacco, cigaret
papers;
Taxes on deeds Of conveyance, stock
sales and transfers;
Taxes on playing cards, matches
cosmetics, perfumes and other toilet
preparations;
Taxes on radio sets, mechanical re-
frigerators and electrical energy;
Taxes on telephone, telegraph an6
radio messages;
Taxes on pistols, revolvers, shells
cartridges;
Taxes on safe-deposit boxes, club

Taxes on admissions to theatres
concerts and cabarets;
Taxes on renovated butter, oleomar-
garine and coconut oil;
Taxes on imports of oil, coal, lum-
Der, copper. (And thousands of other
tariffs.
In the revenue bill before Congress
many of the taxes named above which
are now listed as temporary" will
become permanent. On most of the
items the rates are to be increased, on
many doubled.
In addition theer are to be some
brand-new excuses
Taxes on sporting goods, soft drinks

graphic apparatus, rubber products,
optical equipment;
Taxes on jewelry, furs and toilet
preparations not hitherto taxed;
Taxes on railroad, bus and airplane
machines, bowling alleys, billiard and

ALUMINIUM IN
STATES TOTAL
Approximately rs, 4O5 Pounds
Gathered in St. Louis
County.

Approximately 26,405 pounds of scrap
aluminium, collected in st. Louis
county during the recent campaign
has been trucked to the concentration
point and has helped swell Minnesota
total collection to 1921 pounds.
The campaign was successful in every
respect, says Ernest L. Olrich, district
representative of OPM and chairman
of the State Defense Council in Min
nesota, who this week said that the
states aluminium for Defense" col
lection resulted in a total well above
the per capita average of the nation
Mr.. Olrich said that all associated
with the effort are entitled to congrat-
ulations.
In st. Louis county there were two
committees at work. One represented
the urban area, of which Emil j. zauft
of Duluth, was chairman, and the Other
represented the city Of Duluth, Of
which Robert Mars of Duluth was
chairman.
OF the total collected in the county
TAOS pounds came from the urpar
area of the county and $4,000 pounds
from the city of Duluth.
Directing the effort from the state
level was the Welfare Defense Advisory
Committee of the Defense Council, Of
which Walter w. Finke, director o!
the Division of Social Welfare, il
chairman, and James H. Campbell is
secretary.
This county's aluminium collection il
now at Duluth, one of concentration
points in the state. It is now in the
custody of John McGinnes, regiona.
procurement officer for the United
States Treasury, who is responsible fol
its sale to smelters Before it is sold
the collection will be sorted so thai
the aluminium, zinc, copper, cast iron
and other scrap can be marketed al
the highest possible price. After the
metal has been smelted, it will flow to
defense activities under government
priorities, and the proceeds of the sale
will be allocated to the nations Civil
ian Defense Program.

THE Eternal Gift
Music is InspiratiOnal.

Critics have evalued the music in
"The Eternal Gift" which is showing
at the Ely Theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday, Sept. 18th and 18th, as un-
believably inspirational. The whole
composition has been woven into a
lovely tapestry through the basing Of
the score on an especially happy
phrase from the Christmas Mass, re-
sulting in a completely ecstatical must
cal experience.
Stellar role in the cast is taken by
Rev. James r. Keane, O.S.M, founder
of the Perpetual Novena in honor Of
Our Sorrowful Mother, as Celebrant Of
the Mass. Other principals are Rev.
Hugh Calkins, O.S.M., in charge of
the production, as Deacon of the Mass,
and Rev. Frank Calkins, OS.M., as
Subdeacon of the Mass.

on a balcony, another assembly
line is joining motor with engine

chain-driven overhead conveyor
carries the complete engine as

center of the picture where they
drop from a hoist to the planes

come through the paint shop to

that point controls are adjusted,
final inspection made, and Vultee
planes roll out of the shop and
into the blue"
This new mechanical conveyor
line has increased Vultee produc-
ton fourfold in the last few
months.

AFTER FIVE DECADES

Worthington-When G. B. Andrews
of Rushmore sold a road cart to a
friend back in the COS, it never entered
his mind that not until the year 1941
would the two-wheeled vehicle be paid
for. Andrews, recently has been the
recipient of letter containing a check
in the amount of $3.50, the final pay
ment on this long past sale. The
creditor explained that he was getting
old and had been thinking about
things; therefore, he decided to pay
the remaining sum lest the day come
when it would be too late for him to
fulfill this desire.

center of production shown above
where they are joined to make
the plane ready for flight.
At the right of the picture, tail
sections are assembled, complete
with monocoque, stabilizers, rud-

and move around on tracks to the
center. Meanwhile, at the left,
skeleton fuselages travel through
assembly stages on a long u
shaped conveyor rail, winding up
close to their starting point, COM

canopies, wiring, etc. A short rail
section then moves them across to
the finishing line where they join

Stop Eleventh Hour
Deferment AttemptS.

State headquarters of selective service
has issued a warning to stop eleventh
hour" attempts to obtain deferment.
Registrars are notified of their in
duction at least ten days in advance,
and wait until receiving. notice of in
duction to report a change in status,
and consequently the deferment may
not be granted. Any change in status
must be reported at once to the local
board.
Local boards have also been advised
that registrants that enrolled in trade
schools, after having received notice of
an Al classification, are merely losing
money by doing so, and local boards
will disregard such enrolment and ar

APPLES BAKED ON TREE.

Olivia-The recent heat wave brought
with it many a news oddly. Carl
Brecke of Olivia was well aware of
this when he paid a visit to his or
chard during the two-week hot spell.
Carl approached one of his apple
trees, picked several apples from it.,
and was amazed to find that the fruit
had been partially baked He believes
this due to the apples having to face
the sun during the high temperatures
while not having any protection from
the leaves. Hence, folks, this is the
story of baked apples, baked not in
the oven but on tree.

SKELETONS UNEARTHED.

Ortonville-An important discovery
was made recently at the local golf
course, one which will undoubtedly
prove to be of great value to our state
historians. It was not a new type
performed by one of golfdom's greats,
but rather the uncovering of two skel-
etons during the evacuation of the
Indian mound. The bones were judged
to be those of adult Indians who prob
baly died and were buried long before
the white man came to this region.
The skeletal material was packed for
shipment to the state university, and
will be returned later to go on display
at the club house, which will be built
on the site of the mound.

called attention to the fact that con-
gress might do well to appropriate a
few thousand dollars to discover the
reason why, with the preparedness
boom under way as it is, there are
five million people till unem-
ployed in the United States, states the
Burley, Idaho Bulletin.
He points out that the index of
business activity in this country is at
a level never before attained. Figur-
ing the high point of 1929 as base
of 100, business today would stand at
an index number of 118. In other
words business is Is per cent higher
today than it was at the high peak of
the Roaring Twenties." Yet there
are five million people unemployed who
have to be on some form of relief,
private or public. The authority for
this statement of five million idle
workers is Corrington Gill of WPA.
Several members of the congress are
beginning to believe it will be neces-
sary for the congress to investigate
this question to determine what sort
of men and women are idle, how many
of them are employable, and the reason
or reasons for their present unemploy-
ment.- Eveleth Clarion.

BRUIN RETURNED EMPTY HANDED

Coleraine-While fishing recently,
Walt Powers and a friend noticed
something moving on the shore line.
They were doublS sure, when a bear
appeared and made straight for their
boat, it probably having noticed the
huge bluegill that Walt was hoisting
in. The animal swan to the boat and
not succeeding in getting the prey it
was after, made grab for the string
tied to the boat. Alas, all was in vain,
for Walt was not one to surrender his
fish so easily. He sent an oar flying
in the direction of the bears head,
and consequently it wasted no time in
leaving The men resumed their fish
ing, as though nothing had occurred.
