The news of the gift last spring caused staunch Demo -cratic wags to remark that it would take the King of Qombodia to get an elephant into the White House, while Republican wits commented that the arrival of the elephantwould ‘be an omen of- - to come. Still, there may be a lurking meaning in the death of -the pachyderm. o o— — - Ctoe of the most unusual government financial suggestions in a long time has been advanced by Charles C.

He finds that almost everything has been except cats which, he says, “must contribute their share toward the upkeep of state government” •, He' would tax cats from two to five dollars, thereby producing an estir , mated million dollars which he wduld have go to the old age pension fund. The suggestion opens up alluring prospects, but ' thp likelihood is that cats will remain independent, wandering and untaxed. • _ The state has received $6,470,1U from the federal government in payment of the last quarter erf welfare department funds.

Come\ for the parade, hear and see the bands and shop for the bargains. o o ’■ ; . •• .. ’• 1 . ! • A Problem:— Small business has frequently been called the backbone of American industrial might. The valuable work which the small plants did during World War ll is unquestioned and the contribution which these businesses make to the communities in which they are located cannot be measured. But it is feared that the present defense effort may lead to dis- : • .? *&' . ’.l ficulties among small firms unless, something can be done'about it. There are many small industries which are not geared to make goods vital to the war effort and which it would not be practical to convert. These plants will be largely cut off from of the' materials which they need to / operate. Suspension of industries could mean a good deal of unemployment. There is hope that some of these \ industries will be able to find substitutes for materials which must be diverted to the defense effort. The government can help by making, sure that defense allotments of materials are no greater than necessary, Every effort should be made- to help small industries to survive, for they have played an important role in our industrial progress and they can continue to do so when peaceful goods may again be regarded as the important need of the day.
