THE DOLLARS SPENT
AT HOME WORK FOR US


A CLERK in a market of our town
receives a dollar as part Of his sal
airy. He spends it with the clothier
for a necktie. The clothier's clerk
gets it as a part Of his salary. He
spends it for food at a market. The
owner of the market pays it to
carpenter for store repairs. The
carpenter pays it to the lumber
dealer. The lumber dealer pays it
to his truck driver and so on and on.
That dollar spent in our town may
pass through many hands, and
each person receiving it derives a
benefit.
Because of the dollars spent in
our town, our merchants and home
owners are able to pay taxes. With
the taxes they pay, we support our
town government, we maintain
schools for our children, we pave
and maintain our streets. It is the
dollars spent at home which make
our town a desirable place in which
to live.
The dollars spent outside our town
do not help in doing any Of these
things. They do nothing toward
maintaining our property values.
These are things to think about
when we have dollars to spend.
HOW DICTATORS ARE BORN
ON MARCH %, 1888, the German
Reichstag gave Hitler the privilege
of making the laws of Germany for
four years. That made Hitler die
tator; that marked the real begin
ming of World War No. 2. When the
legislative branch of any country
abdicates and passes its functions
on to the administrative branch,
dictatorship results. At the end of
four years the Reichstag could not
take back what it gave away in 1888.
TOO BIG
LOOKING BACK through history
we find that Kaiser Wilhelm, Napo-
leon, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan,
Charlemagne, Attila the Hun,
Caesar, Alexander and perhaps 9TH
ers, have at one time or another
attempted to conquer the world and
make it over to their liking. No one
of them succeeded. Hitler's effort
is destined to meet the same fate.
The world is too big for any one
man to swallow. Even in lesser at
fairs, things can become too un-
wieldly for successful handling.

law jurisdictional strikes, ban mass
picketing. freeze the open or closed
shop status and require a majority
! vote by secret ballot before strikes
could be called.

the National Defense Mediation
Board would seek settlement by con-
ciliation. mediation or voluntary ar
bitration. AS last resort it would
authorize the Government to seize
and operate the plant This meas
ure was reported attracting consid-
cradle bipartisan support as mid
dle-of-the- he-road solution of the prob
lem.
Next in line was a bill by Repre-
sentative Vinson, Democrat. of

Meanwhile. Senators Connally

BILLIONS IN TAXES NEEDED FOR DEFENSE
Income Tax May Be Made Six Times Larger than
 Before in New Sefup

WASHINGTON, April 24.--Secre- tary of the Treasury Henry Morgen- thau asked Congress today to appro- priate three and a half billion dol lars for greater defense production, and asked Congress to reduce it's defense spending as much as possible to safeguard against profi- teering.
 Secretary Morgenthau told tn e House Ways and Means Committed: We are facing greater challenge than at any time in the history of the Republic, challenge that calls for much greater response than has yet been made"
 Morgenthau made no specific re- commentators about how these new taxes should be raised, but said oth- CTS would present the Treasurys viewpoint.
 These Treasury proposals are re- ported to provide steep increases in the income tax, surtaxes, and may force many persons to pay six times as much income tax as before. It will also put either new or addi- tional taxes on soft drinks, liquor, cigarettes, gasoline and many other commodities.
