zoo MANY HIDDEN TAXES

NNAANA-aN
TN THE 1886 presidential election
4 campaign the Republicans Or
ganized what the Democrats face
tiously termed, 1.-THE Republican
brain trust" in retaliation for the fun
poked at the New Deal brain trusters
who backed the Roosevelt candidacy.
That Republican brain trust consist
ed Of a group Of university profess
sors, each Of whom was specialist
in some line.
When in Washington / was asked
to interview some Of the eminent
economists to ascertain if they would
talk the language Of the man on the
street. One Of those to whom / was
presented was an outstanding econ
omist on the faculty Of an eastern
university and an expert on the sub
ject Of taxes.
When / met him he began a long
dissertation on the theory Of taxa
tion. He talked to me as he proc
ably would have talked to his class
in economics. When, after a few
minutes I succeeded in breaking in,
I said to him:
Doctor / am not interested in
the theory Of taxation, but l do
want TO know how much Of the
price you paid for the shirt you are
wearing was represented by gov
ernment tax"
He chuckled a bit, and replied:
''Yes, I can tell you that, and it Is
a practical question"
That little incident represents what
the American people are asking for
today. They want to know what
taxes they are paying. They want
their tax bills laid face up on the
table. They are not satisfied with
knowing only a part of the total bin,
with other parts reaching into their
pockets and extracting a dime for
this and a quarter for that, each
time the taxpayer turns around.
They want all taxes out in the open,
so they will know how much Of each
dollar they get is taken away frona
them as taxes.
The people no longer are fooled by
hidden taxes as our tax-voting bodies
wish to think they are, but the peo-
pie are insisting on knowing the total
cost Of government to ca ch individ-
ual.
If there is to be a tax on the
shirt we wear let us know exactly
the amount of that tax. We do not
want a multiplicity Of taxes, added
one on top of another so we cannot
know the total. We want all the
bad news in one item. There
should be no multiplicity Of taxes;
no tax ON tax applied by each
through whose hands the shirt
passes-frOm the raw material Of
which the fabric is made, down to
the retailer from whom we buy it.
Somewhere along that line there
can be one tax; and that one tax
can be q known amount to the one,
who makes a purchase. Possibly
the solution would be a manufac-
turer's sales tax.
When congress attempts general
overhauling of our entire tax struc-
ture it should get away from So
called hidden taxes.
If congress will work as hard at
the job of establishing such a tax
system as it has worked to cover
up taxes and fool the people who
must pay them, the method can be
found. When it is found, the people
will more easily determine how
much government they want. AS il
is now, no individual can know how
much he pays or who pays.

New Magic Fabrio

There's fabric magic in develop
ment Of a new blend Of wool and
rayon that washes like cotton.
Known as kohinoor and used in the
manufacture Of mems shirts and
slacks, women's suits and boys ap-
parel, the material has been ap-
proved by American Institute Of
Laundering. In actual washing tests
the material showed less than per
cent shrinkage, fastness Of color to
the washing process and light-fast-

KEEP zee SCHOOL BELLS RINGING

Every school district in the United States
must face challenge to restore the public
school system to its former strength and
usefulness-and to insist on better schools
Tor the present generation Of youths that
VIII be running this country in another dozen
or fifteen years. Uncle Sam down in Wash

port of the public school system. Uncle
knows that the operation of the selective
draft system and universal military training
has been disastrous to the public schools.
Every boy and girl in the United States is
entitled to the best schooling that can be sup
piled by local districts, counties, cities,
states and the United States Government.
So take off your coat and help improve
American education in schools-from the

When a child does what we con-
slider wrong, we must keep in mind
that before he acted he had the
thought to act. We should ask our
selves what we have done, or what
others have done, to slant his think
ing in the wrong direction. Then
we ought to take measures to cor
rect his thinking.
When a child acts he does so
under the power OF the thought
that is uppermost in his mind at
the time. What stimulated that
thought is our chief concern in any
program for his correction. We
know that environment affects
thinking, that talk and behavior
of other people does so, too, that
experiences such as seeing movie,
listening to radio program, look
ing at a picture book, reading a
story will affect thinking and be-
havior. All experiences modify the
thinking and, therefore, the be-
havior Of the children. 1t is these
experiences we should concern our
selves with rather than their effect
misconduct.
When misconduct is manifested
1t is our duty to note where the
child had been recently, with
whom, what he had been doing in
his spare time, what his pleasures
were. A little investigation discloses

Thought Precedes Action

unlooked-for situations, often ex-
planning wrong conduct.
One small boy used certain un-
pleasant phrases on occasion and
his mother was greatly distressed as
we'll as puzzled. Where did he hear
such words? The little boy didn't
know" He didn't hear them any
where"
BY watching for awhile, his mother
learned that the man who relieved
the regular man on a certain steam
shovel used these words to "scold"
the shovel On the days of his serv-
ice, the small boy heard the dra-
matte phrases that so distressed his
mother They were just a strange,
dramatic note to the little boy. If
his mother had not looked for the
source of the words, things might
not have ended so happily.
1t is the same with all sorts of
conduct. A fine thought fathers a
fine action, but an evil or ugly
though will produce wrong conduct.
What we need to do is to keep try
ing to stimulate good behavior by
keeping the child in the environ
ment, in the atmosphere, among
experiences that stimulate the best
thoughts.
The fine teacher, the dedicated
parent, the good friend have great
share in coloring the thoughts of
the children they teach in terms Of
truth and beauty.

Undoubtedly we will have more
snow this winter and nothing is
more cozy on such evenings than to
sit before a warm fire burning in
the fireplace. For just such occa-
sions as this have on hand a pack
age of pine cones. These are wrapped
in transparent paper and there are
between a dozen and dozen and a
half included. The cones, which
burn slowly with ever-changing
color flames, are genuine deep-forest
types, treated to give off these blue,
orange, green, yellow and violet
tones. Their "piny" scent can be
detected as they burn, too. Place
one or more of these pine cones in
the embers or on low fire and
then sit back to enjoy the fragrance
and color.
A sewing box is "must" in any
household, whether it consists OF
one or dozen people. OF course, a
box of any appropriate size will do

especially for the purpose and made
of gay material is much nicer. In
this category comes large hat-box
style of container. 1t is a two
decker with tray on top for
thread, needles, trimbles and other
small objects. The roomy bottom
layer offers space enough for those
articles that must be mended. Gov
