Johnny Robb, the Madrillon's Or

The trick, Mr.. Robb confided. isn't
as difficult as 1t appears, since q
mellophone only looks, at a quick,

horn. It's mouthpiece is much
more like a trumpet's than that

Mr.. Robb, at the time. could
think of only one man In town
who is proficient on both trumpet
and French horn. We noted this
fact and also noted that there was
a name band leader who had be-

play both trumpet and trombone.
He was so famous that we couldn't

ExtroV0gonce in
Government is
Poid For BY You

There has been much in the press
Of late concerning the excessive
spending Of the Truman adminiStra-
ton. Figures show that Truman is
spending much more than any OF
his predecessors. President Wilson
averaged a mere $500. 000, 900 per
year and he also was a war presi-
dent. The late President Roosevelt
boosted that to $3l 900. O00,0 900 a
year and he was involved in what
amounted to two wars at one time.
Now Truman has lifted that to $45,-
100000, 900 year. which is IA bill
lion dollars a year more than RooSe-
welt was able to spend
Our chief interest at this time in
referring To this spending spree is
to remark that extraVagant govern
ment always affects the living
standards of the people Of course
there is the regular income tax that
nearly every worker has to pay to
help meet these expenditures. And

A significant development on the
American scene during recent years
is the general observance of the
Reformation Festival. A day which
for hundreds of years was celebrated
chiefly by Lutherans has come to be
recognized as a heritage which all
Protestants have in common.
This is as it should be. For when
Martin Luther nailed his IS SEN
fences or theses to the door of the
Castle Church of Wittenberg, Oct
ODER 81, 1917, challenging the &C.
clesiastical authorities of his day to
a debate on basic issues of the
Christian faith, he began a move
ment which was destined to re-
discover the basic Christian free
doms which are now the common
heritage of many outside the .Luth-
eran Church.
Luther taught nothing new. He
taught on doctrine which Christ
Himself had NOT taught. But he did
insist that men must teach and be-
lieve everything that Christ has re-
vealed, and that outside of Holy
Scripture there was no other auth
ority in matters of Christian faith
and life.
He insisted that all religion must
be based on the Bible alone al
Timothy 3, l6). He insisted that man
is saved by grace alone, that sal
walton is one hundred percent free
gift of Gods mercy (Romans l1,6).
He insisted that man become a par
taker of this free salvation alone
by faith in the atonement of the
Savior, Jesus Christ Galatians 2,
49, And he insisted that the in
dividual Christian has direct access
to the fatheT-heart of God through /
Jesus Christ without any human in
termediary Il Timothy 2, 50.
If Luther were living today he
would no doubt point modern Pro-
testantism to the words of Scrip
ture, Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free. and be not entangled again
with the yoke Of bondage" Gala

plicants for work numbered $500;
in August 3,400; a year ago the
figures were 1900 and 1900.
1t is estimated that the peak of
employment for the year has been
reached. October should hold about
the same as September and a shrink
age should begin to be seen in
November because of seasonal rea-
sons. This year there are two ma
jor construction projects, and a host
of smaller public and private con-
tracts operating. If open weather
permits these projects to continue
full employment into the holiday
season, the year 1949 should close
with a whole series of maximum
employment records by months,

The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1949-10-27

Part of the explanation lies in the
fact that an extravagant govern
ment must take the money il needs
out Of the pockets Of the people.
Let's look at this high cost Of liv-
ing from another angle The egg
and T. is quite a problem these days,
that is if you like eggs. They VIII
now cost you from to 8 cents
apiece That's a high price for an
egg Why are they so high? One
reason IS that the government will
not let the price drop. It is kept
up by the price-support policy. The
government has bought millions Of
eggs TO keep the price up. It has
so many of those excess eggs that
it has had to reduce them to pow
dered form in order to find suffi
Gent storage space. A government
bureau reports that the American
housewife spends from 100 to zoo
million dollars for price supported
eggs. In addition the government
spends IS million dollars annually
to operate the plan; or total of
from 200 to 2S5 million dollars an
nuaIly Therefore when you buy a
dozen eggs you are being taxed two
ways. You have to pay the high
support price. and then you also
are taxed through your income tax
10 pay for the eggs the government
buys and takes of the market.
The same thing is true of pota
toes. Not long ago this column
referred to the fact that the Govern !
ment had paid two farmers in Maine !
100000 for growing potatoes no
body wants We didn't state that
several million dollars went into |
that one state to pay for surplus |
potatoes. Again you pay double
tax every time you pay your mer-
chant for potatoes. You pay the high !
price and a tax to the government /
so it will have money 70 buy sur
plus potatoes TO take them off the /
market and keep the price high. !
And this same juggling of prices I
applies TO a number Of products. !
If that makes sense, we cannot see
it.
OF course the farmer benefits by
all this. And the farmer is right
fully entitled to reasonable consid-
Grafton. But it seems lacking in
sense to let the farmer produce as
he pleases and then tax the con-
sumner to pay for the surplus pro-
duct at the same time the consumer
IS paying an abnormally high price
for everything he buys. If this is
persisted in, the only solution will
eventually be a strict governmental
control of production.
