MITCHELL ADDRESSES
LAUREL K|WAN|S CLUB

Jack Mitchell took a proverbial
busman's holiday at the meeting
of the Laurel Kiwanis club We'd
nesday when he appeared before
that group and gave an after din
ner speech on after dinner speak
ing. Mitchell, who is taking a ma
jor in English and a minor in pub
lie speaking at Montana State uni
versity, can already list among his
qualifications the experience of
stamping the state in favor of
referendums 81 and So.
Confirming his address mainly to
the techniques of public speaking,
Mitchell described and demonstrat-
ed the methods the public speaker
may use to achieve the desired
goal. Though the speaker must
avoid irritating the audience to
the point of antagonism, he said,
it is necessary to irritate the audi
ence enough to impress the point,
or points, to be made.
He further stated that good pub
lie speaking depends on the ability
to think in public places, and hat
this ability is dependent on the
capacity to think in private places.
In order to deliver a speech of the
type that will hold the attention
Of an audience, it is necessary TO
have done some careful thinking
the subject to be discussed and
to have well in mind the extent
of the subject and its implications
to the audience addressed.
Erwin Waite, father-in-law of
Neil Baker, was a guest at the
meeting.

WINTER WHEAT
SEEDING STEPS
Up WITH RAINS
Drought Condition Broken
At Week End Without
Serious Bean Damage

The pace of winter wheat seed
ing operations in the Laurel area
increased sharply early this week
as a direct result of rains receiv-
ed during the week end. The
Montana department of agricul-
ture crop report for the week end
ing Saturday, Sept. 3, stated that
seeding was delayed by lack of
soil moisture; however, conditions
prevailing since the rains of the
week end are described by some
local authorities as being ideal for
winter wheat seeding.
The department of agriculture
reports that the harvest of small
grains from dry lands is complet-
ed in most of the state except for
the late maturing sections of high
elevation. A survey of the situa-
ton around Laurel indicates that
total wheat yields in this area will
be down from one-third to one
half the yield of last year. Oats,
however, are good and yields up
to 100 bushels per acre have been
reported. Irrigated barley is also
said to be good this year, with
some reports of yields amounting
to 80 bushels per acre. The al
falfa feed crop is described as
good to fair, but it is still too
early to determine the quality of
the alfalfa seed crop. The beet
crop is described as good so far.
1t was feared for awhile that
the rains which improved field
conditions for seeding operations
would damage the bean crop. AS
yet, however, there have been no
reports of serious damage.
In spite of the fact that yields
and prices of farm crops are down
this year, persons in touch with
prevailing rural economic condi-
tons report that the farmer is for
the most part in a financially
sound position. One credit cor-
poration operating in this area
states that it expects to make a
300 collection on loans to farmers
this year. Should such a high
collection rate come to be a fact,
it would indicate that farmers
generally have been able to over
come the unbalance between the
price of their products and
purchase price of necessary
equipment and other production
commodities. The position of the
farmer is expected to remain
economically sound.

the fund and make it grow, an

placed in the fund, the additional
money coming from a reduction

Who are they? The poor?
Well, our Notre Dame economist
shows that the poor were doing con-
siderably better in 1915 than they
were in 1929, receiving larger and
larger share of the national income.
Those with incomes under $4,000
were able to keep n per cent of the
national income in 1929. but retained
more than 80 per cent of it in 1915.
Apparently, then, if taxes are going
to be paid in the future, the poor"
are the ones who are going to do i'll
More Than for Food
There's the fallacy of soak the
rich tax proposals. These methods
won't work, simply because all the
national income does not go to the
rich A sad thing it is, that common
folks with only food-and- clothing
incomes are fooled into thinking that
wealthy people pay the taxes Act
ually, taxes take nearly one dollar
out of every three that we earn. We
spend more on government than on
food. Everybody pays, and pays
plenty!
Because the rich are vanishing
more and more taxes will have to
fall upon people of moderate and
low incomes. A larger and larger pro-
portion of money each person spends
will be earmarked to pay the costs
of government. There are other rea-
sons why America should want to
keep the idea of some folks getting
higher incomes than others, besides
the fact that wealthy people can
and do pay taxes. But the vanish
ing rich" should tell us a few things
about taxes and who pays them.
You do!
