PARTIES SHOULD
JOIN TO SAVE j. S.

Robert F. Cooke of Billings, ar
engineer for Montana Power COM
pany, told the Laurel Rotary club
Tuesday that last year the average
American family paid more than
500 hidden taxes when buying the
simple necessities every family
has to have. Contrary to general
belief among wage earners, the
witholdings from their pay checks
are a dribble compared to the other
taxes they pay.
And again contrary to general
belief, loading the taxes onto the
corporations is not an escape from
paying them, for the only thing
the corporations can do is to pass
the taxes on to the public. Soak
ing the millonaires isn't the an
swer either; there are not many
millionaires to soak.
Nearly all the population of the
United States is made of what
Europeans call little people,"
They live as families of husband,
wife and two or even three chill
dren and derive their money from
their husband and father working
in a store, garage. factory, filling
station Or on a farm, or in a bust
ness he started or bought with his
savings. Yet these same people
nave more automobiles, telephones,
beds, food, clothing, motion
pictures and vitamins than any
1ther group of $50 million people
the world.
If more people knew the tax
structure and how it operates, they
would turn against it. Instead of
working for themselves and their
dependents, as they fancy they are
they are in reality working
/. good part of the time to pay
axes for government to spend.
Cooke quoted figures from the
Readers Digest. The
magazines one-page feature was
tiled us This the Time to Spend
More?" Cooke did not
the figures until he had
hecked them with the govern
nent's own reports and the En-
Britannia. They were
hat so presidents in 1s6 years, {
eginning with Washington, spent {
179 billion; one president in less i
nan five years has spent $191 bill
on, not including the cost of I
World war II. The budget is not
alanced and deficiency spending '
ontinues, with more billions being {
sked for to spend on new and I'M t
led projects. Cooke said it was |
to forget being Democrats '
nd Republicans, it was high time
save America. t
Before Cooke spoke, Fred w. S
raft expressed his views on Ro- L

Automobiles Safe
From Thunder Storms

Motorists who get caught in the
heavy thunder storms need have
little fear of being struck by lightn-
ing, according to William A. Cal
vert, extension Agricultural Engin-
Ger at the University of Delaware.
The statement is based on a record
of the weather BureOu and USDA
which says that the occupants of an
automobile are practically immune
from injury by lightning.
Records of rural fires in Iowa
from 1880 to 1947 show that the
chances of lightning causing q fire
are only / to 12 for buildings prot
ected with lightning rods as COM
pared with unrOdded buildings. The
use of metal conductors to protect
buildings from lightning damage
followed Benjamin Franklin's kite
experiment in 1852.
