SOAK THE RICH" used to be
quite a popular slogan in some
quarters. Whether the g
words are used today, the same
idea still appeals to q large num-
Der Of people. The plan put for
ward by these folks boils down
to one main issue: limit the in
comes of citizens in the high
brackets and divide it among the
other people. By putting more
money in the hands Of more peo-
pie, they hope to attain a greater
prosperity.
However, this economic Utopia
theory runs afoul of economic
fact and economic law. It's basic
platform is hinged on the idea
that most of the nations money
is held by a comparative few. A
greater misconception is hardly
possible. In the light Of sound
reasoning and cold statistics, the
absurdity of this notion is OBJ
vious. No other civilization has
seen a more equitable distribu-

FACTS ABOUT BEER
"Fsther of the American
Temperance Increment

DR.. Benjamin Rush, a physician-gen-
eral of the Continental Army and a
signer of the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence, s regarded as Father Of the
American Temperance Movement"
To DR., Rush, the word temperance"
was no euphemism for prohibition. As
leading American physician Of the
Eighteenth Century, he well under
stood the evils of intemperance and
he inveighed against it in published
writings.
But he also understood and appreci-
ated the benefits Of moderation. He
advised his fellow countrymen to i'm
itate the sober settlers of eastern
Pennsylvania, whose alcohol beverage
was about solely the beer they brewed
from barley malt.
Inone of his books, he produced q
Moral and Physical Thermometer,
in which he showed Temperance at
the top of the scale and Intemperance
at the bottom. High on the scale
under Temperance was listed beer
which, he said, brought Serenity Of
mind, reputation, long life and hap
piness."
Of malt beverages, he also wrote,
They contain so little spirit, and that

matters. hat they can seldom be
drunken in sufficient quantities to
produce intoxication-They are, more
over, VIXEN taken in a moderate guam
tity, generally innocent, and often have

life"
When DR.. Rush advocated temp.
erance, he did not mean compulsory
abstention. Then, as now, the word
temperance was a synonym Of modera-

Americans intellectually subscribe.

A. Veterans living in Minnesota.

We were quite speechless, so the
gentleman who introduced us to the
company simply sat down and car
ried on a conversation while the
tables turned. 1t was as simple as
that, and we ended up not only
talking merrily away, but singing
few bars of a Christmas carol as
