will recall how she was per-
secuted by the Federal Auth
critics; Government agents,
carrying no court order, went
to her bank and intimidated it
into surrendering money for
income taxes that already had
been paid directly to the Inter
nal Revenue Department by
her employees.
1t took Miss Kellems two
years to get this into court,
where she won a refund of the
money the government had
literally stolen" from her
bank account. However, the
Federal Government has stead
fastly refused to grant her de-
mand that it prosecute her for
not withholding taxes from her
employees, SO as to test the
constitutionality of the With
holding Tax Law before the
courts. The Federal Govern
ment knows full we'll that the
courts would iu'a ii favor of

bracket have graduated to the $1,000 to
$4,000 class. Many who were once in the
$4,000 to $4,000 category are now, happily,
one step higher
The report shows, for Noble county,
36 percent of the family units in the $1,000
to $4,000 bracket. They receive 88 percent
of all local earnings.
The families with incomes ranging
from $500 to $4,000 amount to 320 percent
of the population. They collect 1922 percent
of the earnings.
The groups with incomes of $4,000 and
up, comprising 24.4 percent of the families,
take in 484 percent Of the earnings
The overall effect of this rise in per-
sonal incomes is an increase in purchasing
power. The degree to which the consumer
chooses to exercise this power at any parti-
cular time, determines, to large extent, the
health of the economy then.
At the present time he appears to be in
spending mood. AS result, retail business
is on the rise.

But there are only two rest rooms in
this basement and it would be necessary for
the students to go through a classroom for
this purpose. Additional lighting facilities
would be necessary and several other minor
changes.
We use this as an illustration for it was
the best and still not adequate.
There are many parents who feel that
the half day of schooling is fine, due to
crowded conditions, and they didn't attend
the meeting last Wednesday night for this
reason.
Since it is necessary to have several
hours of supervised play on a full day
schedule for the first and second graders,
those going the half day will still receive
the basic foundation for an education and
then get their play period at home.
1t is just as simple as this and under
the circumstances, the board of education is
making wise choice, until they come up
with more concrete and permanent
solution.

In addition to keeping the
Civil Rights Bill from being ap-
proved, the extended debate in
the Senate is having additional
effect upon Congress and upon
the country. When the debate on
Civil Right is concluded, several
items of must" legislation will
require immediate attention.
These are pending bills which
are deemed. advisable for the
continued functioning of certain
aspects of the Federal Govern
ment.
First there are the bills which
provide for the continuation of
agencies due to expire on certain
given dates. In the opinion of
some, it might be we'll if several
agencies were permitted to ex-
pire, but in order to keep the
government going as it is pre-
sently operating, legislation
authorizing the continuation of
those functions of government
must be enacted. Notable among
these is the Small Business Ad-
ministration which needs Senate
approval to keep it alive beyond
its expiration date of July 81.
There is one essential element
of government without which
government itself cannot operate,
and that is money. Of course,
will be the first to agree that
it is operating today with a great
deal more money than in yester-
year. l was very much interested
to note just how the cost of gov
ernment has grown. Today, the
per capita cost of government is
reported at $4,000. This is
slightly less than the $4,000
peak figure reached during the
Korean Conflict and a substan-
tial decrease from the $1,000
cost in World War II. We can
remember the days before the
wars when the per capita cost
in 1910 was $4,000 and the 1925
cost amounted to $500 per per-
son.
But, regardless of the amount
two appropriations bills are still
to be given final action. The

Security appropriations bills are

INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE
BY George Peck

From time to time mention
has been made in this column
regarding how closely the
economies of Canada and the
United States Of America
parallel each other. Both coun-
ties currently are enjoying
periods of unprecedented pros
perity; both are plagued with
two major political parties
that differ in name only; both
suffer from ever-increasing
Capitalization of power in their
capital cities; and both move
closer and closer to the soc
ialistic welfare state.
The Bulletin, an independent
weekly newspaper, published
at Bridgewater, Nova Scotia,
Canada, carried an editorial in
its July 3, 1857 issue, which
reveals a sore spot on Canada's
economy that equally applies
to a similar aggravating skin
eruption on Uncle Sans econ
omy. Let me quote this edi-'
torial:
"OUR UNPAID TAX
COLLECTORS
with all their faults, we
believe there is still need
for labor unions.
"In ore particular field there
is crying need. We refer to
the unpaid employees Of the
Dominion government, to the
thousands of employers of
labor who are compelled by
law 20 collect income taxes
from their workers, and to the
thousands of merchants who
are compelled to collect sales
taxes from their customers.
"These people are required
to do this, to keep careful re-
cords of all such collections,
and to send the records and the
collections to the government,
all without compensation.

required to work for another

SOAK 'EM' OR "SOCUM,

Occasionally this writer is
querried relative to the history
of Socum, in the long ago,
located a mile south of Cald-
well.
The name "Socum" was de-
rived from two words, Soak
En-, due to the fact that almost
daily drunken fights was an at
traction that drew other settlers
even from far distance. Soon
after the settlement had been
established in the early years of
the 18th century, its location was
on the north shore (at that
point) of Duck Creek, less than
one mile south of the present
site of Caldwell.
The hamlet boasted of six or
eight -tWo-room residence
properties, a FIGURING mill, gen.
eral store and two or three open
saloons. The ruler of the resi-
dents was a queen, Mrs. Ad Null
len, a three hundred pound
woman whose word was law and
obeyed. The hamlet continued to
flourish until the early 1905
when it began to dwindle away
and the disastrous floor of July
13, 1913, washed away the fina1
remnant of it ever having ex,
isted including the old covered
bridge across Duck Creek. Anc
so ended "Soak En-" or "Socum'
or "Matrom", whichever name
you may care to apply to the
once noted hamlet.

At each of the last two presi-
dental elections Dwight D.
Eisenhower received millions
upon millions of Democratic
votes. In view of this fact, when
Ike makes an occasional appoint
ment of some ex-Democrat to a
governmental position he should
not be too severely criticized by
ardent Republicans for having
done so. The new secretary Of the
treasury is one of such-a very
competent American. However,
neither a Roosevelt nor Tru-
man would have done so, is the
general belief.
