THIS YOUNG MAN is WISE

Al young man has revealed, in a recent
magazine article, the reasons why he doesn't
want to make million dollars. Has he lost
his mind? No. he's just been studying what
our present income tax laws woud do to his
milliOn-or yours.
''It has aways been great American
dream to strike it rich," he wrote. "To in
vent better mousetrap, to write best sell
er, to manufacture a gadget-and make a
million dollars. Ever since was big enough
to work week digging potatoes and earn six
dollars to buy % rifle, making million
dollars is dream that have clutched close
to my ticker. Now something has gone out of
me- | don't want to make million dollars
any more"
"The sad, sorry fact" he continued, sis
that after toiling and sweating half your
life, after taking your knocks and trying
again, after dreaming of all the things you
could do with million dollars, after finally
making the big killing-the fact is, you are
a millionaire with only 1921, ,50724 that you
can call your own"
I wish to make note to the historians
that sometime along here something impor-
tant was lost from our lives" the writer
pointed out perhaps they will describe it
as the end of the Horatio Alger epoch
They might add that it came as great blow
to hopeful people like myself to discover
that if man had million dollars, he would
have enough to pay his income tax"
My, oh, my, how true are these words
written by this young man. When, oh, when,
will we awake to the awfulness of this tax
ing and spending orge in which our Nation
and State are embarked? Will we awaken
too late to learn that this wonderful Nation
of ours has depleted it's resources and to
find that we have taken our place among the
"has not" countries of this earth? We Won

ther they condemn approve the Presidents pol
icy. They are a kind of daily Gallup Poll" for the
White House. The simple truth is that when Presi-
dent Truman makes an address appealing for more
social security, sick benefits, more unemploy-
ment insurance, farm supports, and even for
more taxes, which must go with these increased
Government benefits, 800 of these millions of let
ters approve.
The Republicans think that Mr.. Truman
elected because the country prosperous; but
that when unemployment comes in 1850 or 1852, the
Democrats will be thrown out. 1t is that such
a rule has usually worked in the past. But, will it
work next time? In the past, the existing Admin
istraton had way of helping the unemployed
lacking bread, and the farmers threatened by fore
closures. Now this has all changed. The present
Administration even in election during de-
preston, could promise much more help than
the Republicans would promise the old rule might
not apply again.
WHAT SHOULD. READERS DO?
The first thing to realize is that the money which
is given away in price supports PENSIONS must
be collected from all the readers of this column
The second thing realize is that these funds can
be taken away from the rich only for few years
Soon there will be no profits to tax What them
The answer is very simple If the unfortunate non
producers to be supported by the fortunate pro-
ducers which is the basis of the New Deal philosophy
and has some justification, then production ant
economy should be encouraged in every possible
way by Congress, by Labor Unions, and especall!
by our Schools in order to have funds to tax
The basic truths which Jefferson preached
apply today and should teach these to ou
children. Some of us parents may hang on t
enough money to keep going through our fev
remaining years, whatever happens to the country
With children this will be very different. Onl.
character, hard work and economy, on their part
will save them. All cannot ride in the Govern
ments cart or it will stop Some must pull the cart
My appeal is that accompanying all New Deal legis
lation should be special benefits to all corporation
and individuals engaged in useful production. Other
wise, we all ego bust"

Administration economists are advising
the American people to surrender their free

stroyed Great Britain industrially. If we
followed their advice to the letter, we would
all wind up as pinched, as shabby, and tired
of standing in line as the British people find
themselves right now. Under socialism, the
government tries to becomes the master of
all human beings. In Germany, Hitler de-
clared that National Socialism would ban

that the essence of National Socialism was
human welfare; that it was the revolution of
the common man = that, rooted in a fuller
life for every German from childhood to
old age, it meant a new day of abundance at
home and better world order abroad. 1t
didn't work, because the socialist govern

the very thing that could achieve those high

THIRTY YEARS AGO

DR.. and Mrs. Frank L. Grier and
daughters, Misses Mary and Fran
ces, were in New York last week.
Sweet potatoes have been selling
as high as $2.7O per hamper at
Laurel, the highest price ever paid
there. An average of about eight
carloads have been shipped from
there daily. More than 100000
baskets have been shipped.
A report from Bridgeville states
that last years white potato crop
is giving the farmers much trouble
as many are at a loss to know what
to do with them. Many farmers
planted quite heavily in this late
crop, expecting the winter prices
to be unusually high. Therefore
they refused 60c per basket at dig
ging time and stored their crops
expecting a large price. Now the
market price.is low and not great
demand for the tubers, a few have
managed to sell for 80 to 40 cents
per basket.
