10-biI|ion Tax Bill

OF 1929 on All Income
Proposed by League
By the Associated Press.

The National Economy League said
yesterday that the Federal Govern
ment should have a $4,000, 900 900
goal for its new tax measure instead
of $500 100000 IF disastrous in
fiation Is to be avoided"
The non-profit organization. with
headquarters in New York, released
a study Taxation VS.. Initiation
prepared by Willard D. Arant, its
research director, and Dr. Harley L.
Lutz, professor of public finance at
Princeton.
The study said, as one example OF
inf1ationary threat, that cutting 1912
automobile production by 20 per cent
releases $500, 100000 in consumer
purchasing power. An equivalent
amount of money should be trans
ferred to the Government by tax
alton at the same time automobile
labor and plant resources are trans
ferred to defense work. If this Is
not done, the food of purchasing
power pressing against the prices
Of living necessities will overwhelm

This is the advice given by E. M
Birely, state director Of selective serv-
ice, to men selected for military train
ing who are preparing to leave for
army induction stations.
Director Birely said that one suit
case should be sufficient to carry ev-
erything a Selectee would need until
he is outfitted by the army-"change
of underwear and socks, shaving set
including the type of razor he is ac-
cuStomed to using, tooth brush and
other toilet articles, and things like
those"
"Put them all in one suitcase" he
advised, land do not take along bags,
boxes and loose articles, or you only
win be causing a lot Of inconvenience
for yourself and others while you are
on your way to the induction station
and afterwards"
Unnecessary articles taken to induc-
ton centers, together with any pro-
hibited by military regulations, must
be returned to his home by the Sc
lectee at his own expense or other
wise disposed Of, Director Birely point
ed out.

BY FRANK J. G. DUCK, Secretary
Farm liberalization Bureau


Every day more than 500 farms in
various parts Of this country get cleo
! trio service for the first time through
! lines built by the power companies or
through funds provided by the Rural
Identification administration VIII it
prove to be a steady, reliable and In
dustrious hired hand worth much more
than its small cost? Or will 1t turn out
to be a fitful, Indispensable and slug
/ gish servant whose work is needlessly
! expensive? In the final analysis, the
answer will depend upon one thing
the manner in which your farm home
and buildings are wired.
Flows Like Water In Pipe
When you purchase an automobile
a tractor, pillow, a binder or almost
any other piece Of farm eQuipment
you buy complete and self contained
unit that is ready to operate at the
touch Of a starter, the tug Of q horse
or turn of the hand But electricity
doesn't come in a single package. And
there Is much more to its proper use
than just the flip OF switch.
Like water flowing IN a pipe, cleo
trio power must be conducted by wire
to the points where 1t Is used. If pipes
are small, water flows very slowly, and
most OF the pressure Is lost by passing
through excessive lengths. In the same
way, II wires are not sufficiently large.
the small amount of electricity that
can pass through them will not be
enough to operate any but small EQUIP
ment, and generally unsatisfactory
service will result from low voltage.
What Is Adequate Wiring?
How can an ample supply of electric
ity be assured at all points at all times?
BY good wiring, carefully planned-in
other words, by adequately wiring your
farm home and buildings. Simply ex-
pressed, adequate wiring means
A service entrance Of correct size
Capacity.
Enough circuits, each with the cor
rect wire size.
Special heavy-duty circuits and out
lets for range, water heater and larger
motors.
Sufficient outlets and switches con-
veniently placed.
If these are provided, and good ap-
planes are used, your electric serV-
Ice will be safe, dependable, economical
and a source of constant satisfaction.
But, you may say, all I want right
now are lights, radio and an electric /
iron. I can't afford to completely cleo |
trify my farm at one time. I'll have to |
wait until later to buy a refrigerator, |
an automatic water system and much |
other equipment want and need. Why |
then, should install such an elaborate |
wiring system now? Why can't put in
a cheaper one and add to it as buy
more appliances and equipment?
In the first place, adequate wiring
Is not elaborate. 1t includes no extra,
fancy or special gadgets. Instead, it is
only the minimum necessary to the
successful electrtfication Of your farm.

Counties Improving
Financial Condition

Montana county governments have
continued to improve their financial
condition during the last two years,
having reduced their net Indebtedness
by approximately 40 percent from the
of the department of agricultural eco
Monies of Montana State college, re-
ports IN a circular released on what
Is Happening to Montana County Elk
penditures." The circular, along with
two others, was produced with the as
sistance Of the Montana work projects
administration.
The report further states, 1.-THE 1898
net Indebtedness was less than half
the 1893 amount, SO that the further
reduction of 40 percent in the last
two fiscal years, following the reduc-
ton of more than half in the six pre-
ceding years, Is a significant achieve
ment."
