THE REVIVAL

The revival which commenced
with the evangelistic work of Rev.
w. K. Galloway, still continues.
The congregations have been large,
filling the auditorium every night,
with an unusual seriousness and at
tentiveness manifested by the peo-
Pile, and an entire absence of that
levity and Indifferent demeanor on
the part of those who usually oc-
cupy the rear part of such meet
ings. There has been no repetition
of the wonderful outpouring of the
Spirit at the noon hour of Sunday
week, such is rarely seen in life
time but every meeting has been
attended by conversions.
Religion had been running at a
low ebbf or several years, and while
it is a great matter for rejoicing to
see many new additions to the fold,
not the least benefit to the church
had been the termination and re-
clamation of many members who
had little to claim but the fact
that their names were on the
church record. This reviving was
felt from the pulpit on down
through the pews to the doors. The
attendance last night was the larg-
est of any week night service yet,
the auditorium packed, and many
having to go to the gallaries. The

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
FIRE

James w. Anthony, near town,
came very near having a serious
fire on Sunday morning. The fam
lily had just seated themselves at
the breakfast table when they
heard something drop overhead.
Thinking perhaps pet cat had
gotten into the room and knocked
some bric-a-brac from the mantel,
Mr.. Anthony sent his son Will up
to see what was the mischief. The
son was not long in returning:
opening the stair door he hesitated
a moment, as if to be cool and show
that he had not lost his head, he
said to his father, don't be alarm
ed but the house is on fire." He
could well say this for the chimney
above the first floor was in roar
ing blaze, the fire having crept
through the stovepipe hole, ignit-
mig to the paper, had run up it I'M
til a cord that suspended a picture
had been burnt into and let the lat
ter drop, fortunate circumstance
that was the means of saving the
house. A bucket or two of water
iextinguished the incipient flames
here, when attention was given to
the top of the house. With the aid
of ladders Mr.. Anthony and his
men had soon reached the roof and
few buckets of water poured
down the foul chimney soon put out
the fire that otherwise might have
been attended with more disastrous
results to his large and handsome
residence. The paper in the room
where the fire was discovered, was
so damaged and balckened that it
will have to be renewed, the Kent
County Mutual feeling fortunate in
getting off so easily.

The first % counties going over the

weather" of the drought years But it
did rain and the rivers and streams that
Tugwell couldn't find have been flooded
many times. The wheat country today
is bulging with wealth and the residents.

the New Dealers, are buying War bonds.
They also have contributed in every
other way to the war effort.
Had the reformers of the Tugwell era
had their way, all of Kansas west of the
91st meridian would have been depopu-
lated and left to the winds that occa-

nately, the New Dealers moved on to
new experiments before the brain trust

uxes and Initiation

Inc Keystone or any program In
tended to head off disastrous infla-
| ton in time of war must consist of
| tax structure aimed at draining
of excess purchasing power in the
hands OF the people. Unless it &C
compllshes this purpose, any tax
program, no matter what its social
merits or dement's may be, will prove
useless as a safeguard against infla-
ton. This is fact which should be
kept in mind in considering the rath-
er surprising tax proposals which
have been advanced by the CIO, the
National Farmers Union, the League
of Women Shoppers and the National
Lawyers Guild.
The program advanced by these
groups revives the demand for
S25,000 salary limitation, which no
one attempts to justify as a revenue
raising measure, and calls for heavier
taxes on business. But with respect
to the mass of individual taxpayers,
In whose hands is concentrated the
great bulk of excess purchasing pow
er, the CIO program actually pro-
poses a reduction in taxes. The Gov
ernment's own figures show that the
greater part of the increase in ma
tlonal income consists of higher earn
lngs by these taxpayers. Hence, if
there is to be any substantial increase
In Federal revenue, it must come from
this source. Yet the CIO and its
associated groups would grant these
taxpayers tax reduction, despite
the obvious fact that this would cur
tail revenue and increase instead of
decrease the volume of excess buying
power which is a constant threat to
the barriers that have been raised
against an uncontrolled imitation.
The real strength of this proposal
lies in its political appeal 1t will be
attractive to millions of taxpayers
who are concerned with the tenn
porary advantage that they would
gain from such program, and who
do not consider the ultimate disad-
vantages that it would impose upon
them. But despite any political at
tractiveness that it may have, it will
be very surprising, indeed, If this pro-
gram enlists any support from the
treasury Department or the Presi-
dent. They know, as do the men,
bers of Congress, that this is not the
time to be Tightening any ones tax
load
1t is interesting that the CIO an
nouncement should have conceded
with the report Of top officials in
charge of wartime economic controls.
The gist of their report was that the
stabilization effort, including the use
OF subsidies, has been substantially
successful. But there can be little
doubt that these officials would be
the first to concede that a reduction
In taxes for individual taxpayers
would add to, rather than subtract
from, the very serious control prob
lens which they will have to face in
the future.
