GOVERNMENT ,

OTATE GOVERNMENT revenues
~ maintained an upward trend
during the past year, while short
ages of manpower and critical ma
terials were forcing most states to
curtail expenditures. AS result,
the state governments are now in
an improved financial position.
Many are building up substantial
surpluses. Others are passing
along savings to the taxpayers in
the form of reduced levies.
Some of the state administrators
plan to maintain taxes at present
levels rather than reduce them
now and later face the possibility
of having to raise levies during
what might be a period of eco
nomic hardship. Other arguments
for creating surpluses are that
they may be used to retire bond
issues and that a large reserve
may be needed for public works
in the postwar period to Offset
unemployment.
Most state taxpayer associations
are in favor of reducing state sur
pluses and tax collections in order
to ease the current burden OF in
creased federal taxes. Also, al
though there is no objection to u
small reserve fund, a large sur
plus is regarded unfavorably be.
cause it offers too many tempta-
tions for needless public spending
at time when every penny is
needed for a direct contribution to
the war effort.
Regardless Of how these sur
pluses are treated, the improved
financial positions of the states

This new vote of confidence from
the people underines his unique
place in the history boots of tomor-

lined mandate IRON the people.
The people have told their man
in the White House to prosecute
the ar in both oceans; to not stop
short of unconditional surrender:
TO deal firmly with Germany.
Aside from the war, two tasks
OF paramount &c nee TO the ma.
ton weigh upon him. Strangely
enough one faced him in 1892
when he frs. moved into the White
House. He must insure full EN-
ployment and he must develop ma
chinery to do away with interna-
tional aggression.
These are interrei; ted. Without
full employment our foreign trade
will not develop. A prosperous

to point TO easier means of attain

CHAPTER SIX

LAURA REYNOLDS was 30
years old, and usually very re-
strained and sure Of herself. Really
Mrs. Reynolds granddaughter, she
had started calling herself the old
lady's real daughter as a child and
now it was sometimes hard for her
to remember that she was one gen.
Grafton removed-especially since
she had taken her mothers name
OF Reynolds. 1t never occurred to
her that people might think she
was much older than she was II
she had an 80-year-old mother. DR..
Banning on one of his visits, when
he usually stayed for dinner, had
mentioned that. Her reply had been
that it didn't matter in the least
how old people thought her to be.
Thoughts weren't important, only
facts were.
Indeed, that was the policy I'M
der which she had run her life. She
had never cared much what people
thought about what she did, and
that alone made her rather a figure
In such a little place as Talbot.
After graduating from the univer-
sity with horfors, she had taught
in a girls school for a while. Then
she had come home and written
some short stories which, to her
amazement, hadn't sold, so she
gave up writing. Later she had
opened a gift shop in Weston and
lost the money inherited from her
father, who had died somewhere in
South America. She hadn't seen
him since her mother died when
she was a child and shed gone to.

bot. Now she had opened circu-
lating library and was full Of en-
thusiasm as, in truth, she had been
for her other ventures. She was
sure she could rouse an eager read
ing public in Weston. AS for Tai
bot itself. she knew people never
read anything but newspapers.
Laura was good looking in a
dark, rather somber way, but she
tended to scorn her appearance,
since she believed that intelligence
was the dominating factor in life
And she did intend dominating. Sc
believed in control. Nature was

THIRD HAVEN
by Warren Howard

err was she up in her room after
slamming her door angrily than
she realized she had not exercised
proper control over herself. She had
really let her mother trick her into
making an exhibition Of herself
and in front of Miss Withers, too,
who was the town gossip. She re-
membered Miss Withers hadn't said
word, just drank it all in so she
could spread the news later with
proper embellishments.
And Russell had not come up
after her to offer sympathy. 1t
meant he had none to offer, and
that was annoying. He undoubted-
ly did not approve of the way she'd
spoken to her mother and stamped
her foot angrily. Russell was never
angry himself-at least, his con-
troll was always perfect. And he
liked poise. She knew it was some
thing he liked in her. And she
wanted his liking. She was not sure
he loved her as much as she loved
him, but she was certain his love
would ultimately be built on re-
spect and admiration. She wanted
that love. They had been engaged
for several years now, but while
she was the one who gave out that
she couldn't marry because her
mother needed her so much, she
still wanted Russell TO catch her
in his arms and beg her passion
ately to marry him at once. He
hadn't done that. Their engage
ment had been quite prosaic. 1t was
understood that when. things were
right they would marry.
II was one reason she had want
ed her little library in Weston. Rus
sells office was in Weston. He real
ly only came home to sleep When
they were married. they'd I'M
doubtedly live in Weston, where
their interests lay. Talbot was
asleep, IL not dead. It suited her
mother, who would rather look at
a ship under sail than read a good
book. But she and Russell were
both educated. Their interests were
in the future, not the past. They
were going ahead. So she must not
fail him by petty display of tenn
per which could serve no purpose
IL he was not impressed. That was
logic, and she obeyed it. She bathed
her face in cold water to bring a
bit Of color to her cheeks. She
brushed her hair and arranged IL
more carefully. She slipped into
another dress, so she could say
that was why she had come up
stairs. Then, after a final glance in
the mirror, she went Gown.
She could hear Russells smooth
voice and her mothers laugh. It
didn't sound like an old lady's
mirth at all. Laura closed her eyes
to steady herself. II was one Of the
things that always hurt a little.
She wanted Russell to like her
mother, Of course. but she didn't
want them to have a little corner
Of life to which they withdrew and
left her outside.
And she didn'. want him 10 have
Beth Anderson hanging around
him, either. Beth was a ridiculous
firt who ran after every man who
appeared In town, but she was the
