POOR PAY HEAVY TAXES,
TOO!

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Low-inocme families, especially those
with income less than $1,000, pay a
higher portion of their income in
taxes than does any group in the
population except those getting $1,000
or more, according to DR.. Theodore J.
Kreps, in addition to federal income
taxes.
Kreps call this fact zone of the
best-kept secrets of the century," in
a study published by the Public AT
fairs Institute. Many business econ
omists have tried to push the idea
that any big bite in new taxes should
come from lower-income groups.
Kreps' study shows that those in the
lowest income group pay out 1856
per cent of their income in taxes;
that those making between $4,000
and $1,000 pay out 23.1 per cent; and
that those making $500 and over
pay an average of 31.7 per cent.

| think it was in the year 1897
that the Switchmen operating the ore
trains from Butte Hill to Anaconda
staged a walk out, or strike, and pa
trolled the tracks so no one could cut
in and take their jobs. When the
miners at some of the mines went to
work that night they were given pick
handles and ordered to patrol the
tracks to keep the striking switchmen
off the property. THREE men at
the st. Lawrence mine refused to be-
come, what later was to be known
as "Pick Handle Deputies, and were
dismissed Immediately, and also
"blackballed'' in all the other mines
in the camp. My dad was one of the
there men. AS my mother had died

of age, you can figure the plight we
were in, but with the help of many

Parrot mine which was not owned by

More than year ago they did
some work together, but the team
