On Hiding Taxes
Take that new car you just bought
Or would like to buy Only thir-
teen years ago, in 1896, the factory
price of Ford sedan was $500 This
year. according to an analysis of
the Ford company, you are asked
to pay $5115O in direct and indirect
taxes when you buy your car These
payments are not all itemized.
They're hidden, but there. They re-

iivered price of your $4,000 car!
Here's something else you can
think about, not just on March Is,
but every day. I am told that more
than 200 separate taxes go to make
up the price of gasoline, from oil
we'll to gas pump. The federal tax
and state tax usually amount to at
least 20 per cent of the price you pay,
but one wonders whether gasoline
might not be cheaper without the
other 1913 different taxes hidden in
the price of each gallon.
The People Pay
1t is certainly to be hoped that
when Americans realize they are
working one week out of every four
to pay the costs OF government, at
tempts to have Congress add as
much as $50 to s35 billions in added
tax burdens will be studied closely
It's your country! 1t is foolish to as
sumo that somebody else pays these
costs of government say corpor-
atoms When corporations are taxed,
it simply means that people are
being taxed again
In the final analysis, taxes come
from only one source people. It is
thought that when Congress meets
again. with an election year COMING

taxes will be a subject too delicate

Thoughts on Life
We Are Strangers
By DIR. JOHN w. HOLLAND

plight. Some say thing, others
say another. That sin and evil is
fundamentally basic to our troubles,
none will deny. May I give you my
diagnosis of our greatest source of
the ills that beset us: 1t is that we
are STRANGERS to each other.
Add to this the fact that millions
of people, not knowing each other,
and not caring a boot about the 9TH
er fellow, go on their little selfish
trails harboring in the hearts the
''strangeness" out of which most
wars are born.
Another World
A poor peddler came to the back
door of a rather prosperous looking
home, with a bag filled with his
wares. The man of the house said
rather gruffly, II can't look at your
shoe strings and other junk today,
for it's a week from my payday.
The peddler said, did you say
payday? I wonder what a payday
would be like. You people who have
paydays live in a different world
from mine"
The householder stood silent for
a few moments, then said, "Come
on in, and I'll take a look. at your
stuff" AS the two men talked, the
home owner got a new slant at the
inside of the peddler's mind. "Oh, I
guess I could use a half dozen pairs
of your shoe strings" The iron cur
tain was lifted between the two
men, and they discovered that they
were just two human beings who
were strangers to each other.
Friendly Experience
I was driving to a speaking en-
gagement one afternoon, when a
young man thufmbed me for a ride,
Usually I do not stop, but, for some
reason I halted and he took his seat
beside me. We were strangers al
first, but I learned that the young
fellow had suffered an attack Oh
~infantile paralysis, and was out try
ing to find a job in a world where
healthy men have the best chance
I stopped at a roadside cafe fol
lunch, and invited my friend fol
lunch. I said, What will you hav,
to drink?" He looked me squared,
in the face and said, Anything tina
does not have alcohol in it. My par
ents are Christians and do not us,
alcohol" AS I took my leave of thi
fine young man, he said, "God bles
you for your kindness" I am sur
that I got more out of that 50-mil
ride than I would had I stepped o.
the gas and left him standing in tn
cold wind at the roadside.
Born. Live Alone
Someone has said: I'VE are Dor
alone, we live alone, and each pei
son dies alone" We all tend to kee
our iron curtains pretty well pulle
down about us and then wonder VIII
other people seem so queer or $
wicked.
The nations commit the same foil,
the nations and races of men seel
to think that it is a feather in the
caps if they can deceive each otht
as to what is going on in the
minds.
Jesus is often quoted: 'Do n
cast your pearls before swine" b
it is often difficult to tell just wi
are the swine. They do not all b
long to one race-a thing we lear
most of us, too late in life.
