JUST WHAT THE COMMUNISTS WANT “In leas than four decades, the Individual Income tax rate has risen from one .per cent with a maximum rate of seven percent on net income of SSO-o,o'oo and over—to a starting rate of 2,2.2 per cent, with a combined normal and surtax rate of 92 per cent on taxable income of $>200,000 and over!” writes Gordon Grand, Jr., in the Tax Review. “In the space of less than 40 years, the corporate income tax has risen from one per cent to a combined normal, surtax and excess profits marginal rate of 82 per cent . . . The number of individuals subject to taxes has risen from less than 400,000 to 55,0100,000.” As if this wasn’t bad enough, the new proposed Administration budget, as offered to Congress, envisions a deficit of over $22,0*00,000,600 during the next two years. And apparently the only Administration solution is more taxes—even tho taxation takes about one-thitd of the whole national income now. There is the usual easy talk about economy and efficiency — but no one high in Administration circles ever comes up with a concrete suggestion for materially reducing nondefense, non-essential spending of any kind. The Communists who would like nothing so much as an economic collapse in the United States, must find this encouraging to an extreme. A drunkensailor type of government can destroy a country from within just as effectively as an enemy can destroy it from without by military means. The one bright spot in the whole picture is the coldness with which Congress received the Budget Message. Members of both parties said that taxes must not be raised, and that costs must be cut —and cut deep. Congress could render no greater service to the nation . than that. CHECKED BUT NOT CHECKMATED Senator Byrd and others have pointed out that high Administration spokesmen always pay lip service to the cause of economy in government, and the elimination of all non-essential spending. But nothing tangible in the way of suggestions to achieve these ends is ever offered. Instead, the officials monotonously demand more and more costly schemes — such as compulsory government health insurance, the incredible Brannan plan for hog-tying agriculture, and so on. The Administration’s continued advocacy of the health insurance scheme is particularly interesting. This has long been a special pet of the security agencies. They have propagandized It in every possible way. They have stormed the Country, claiming that it is the only solution to our health problems. Yet, despite all the high-pres-sure press agentry, even some of the scheme’s warmest backers admit that it has found small public approval — and much public opposition. Congress hasn’t even troubled to bring it to a vote, it being a foregone conclusion that it would be buried under an avalanche of “Nays!” But this hasn’t discouraged its advocates. They are going right ahead in the hope that they’ll slip it over on the country some day, in one form or another. If that day ever comes, if will be a sad one for America. From the point ,of view of money, compulsory insurance would cost the taxpayers $6,000,000,00'0 a year and probably much more. From the point of view of medical care, it would subject the doctors to the tender mercies of a huge bureaucracy whose powers would be steadily expanded. The politician would be the boss and the doctoi would take the orders. Anyone can figure out what would happen to medical standards then. The zealots wfio want allpowerful government ■' have been checked —but they haven’t been checkmated. Congress and the people must keep a watchful eye on them at all times. Kenland red clover, developed at the Kentucky Aricultural Experiment Station, is well adapted to the southern one-half to twothirds of Indiana. The variety is resistant to southern authracnose, a destructive disease in Indiana. However Kentland has not shown resistance to northern anthracnose, Purdue University agronomists report. Timber markets are seasonable, say Purdue University foresters. Check several markets before making a sale. A buyer may be looking for a special item at a price.

FROM THE SYRACUSE TOWN BOARD FEB. 6, 1912. George Bowersox and Frederick Butt reported that there are some unsanitary conditions at the Cement Company boarding house near the bridge on Front Street, with reference to using a boat house for a closet, which will throw all the refuse into the channel when the ground thaws out. The Board directed the Secretary of the Board of Health to make an investigation and if conditions are as reported to order the same discontinued. FEB. 20, 1912. - -To B. F. Hoy, Sec’y.

Episode Concerning Dollar (or Buck) Day — Bart: I was down to the saloon the other night and heard some of the older boys talking—and gathered that the merchants here were going to put on a big BUCK SALE, on the 122 and 23rd inst. What can you do with a Buck? They “fold their tents as the Arabs and as silently steal away.” Anyway we have some things now that we didn’t have years ago. We used to sell 1 GO-watt lamps for 90 c. Now we sell them for 16c (plus tax), and they give more light and burn longer. thing with other lamps—--25-watt 35c; 40-watt 40; 50watt 50c; 6d-watt 60c; 75-watt 75c. Now we sell a 60-watt lamp for il4c (plus tax) and a lot more life and light. We used to sell a flip flop Toaster for $9.50. You would burn ’er on one side then flip ’er over and burn ’er on the other side. Now we can sell you one that does it just right on both sides—pops ’er up and keeps it warm until you catch up, for $122.95. ($14.95 Stand Lamps $11.95) Went home to supper the other night and smelled Pork Chops. Couldn’t help but think back how greasy they used to be in an iron skillet. Now they are just right broiled with that new 4000-watt Broiler that Hot Point has on their Electric Range, as low as $269.9-5. (They got ’em lower than that but nobody wants ’em.) And a Buck or better for your old stove. But we were talking about this BUCK BALE. How about: A Salesman was here the other day and saw one of those 2-light circuline Kitchen Fixtures, you know the one with a 32-watt circular tube then the little 22-watt circuline in the center. He said, “How they going?” I said, “Like your mother-in-law — at $18.95 and two bucks for the old fixture.” He said, “That’s what I thought.” Ido have it in the 32-watt with the glass shade over it at $15.'45, and two bucks for your old fixture. Say, I got a Kitchen Aid. It’s a K4B, $92.50. You can get a chopper set for it at $11.55. The thing has a one gallon tinned steel bowl. This outfit will mash potatoes, or stiff dough or make sausage. Do you remember who that fellow was in South Dakota last fall who told us how to make Rabbit Burger? Remember—one rabbit, one horse. I’ll bet I could sell that Mixer to him, for 78 Bucks. ($2.95 Bed Lamps $2.35) Somebody bought too many of that fluted edged Pyrex Pie Plates. You know, it’s that one with a picture of a Cherry Pie in the bottom —for 69c. I didn’t think it was the right picture because the cherries ip that pie are only one deep and this one is 9%” wide and 1%” deep. You never could make a jam pie in it. You know one crust jammed down on the other. Want a couple at 49c each? $24.95 Flourescent Lamp $19.95) ' Did you see those two novelty lamps wehave — the old lady and the old man with their arms around a lamp post, and each with a bottle — at $25 a pair. Lovely old couple. Last summer there was a little Frail with lip stock and high heels in here selling magazines so she could go to Harvard for the winter. My wife let the old man go with her. Now the old lady stands there and grieves, for >s9.s*o’. ($i2i4.95 Floor Lamps $19.95) The man came in and sold Berniece a Waring Blender, $39.5-0, with 350 receipts. If I knew as mjiph about Vitamins as that bird I could sell it to you for $36.50, and your HotPoint iron. Anyway, he said to throw in an apple, a carrot a potato, and a raw egg, then you turn ’er on and it changes it all to a liquid. You drink it and get your Vitamins. I asked her what you did with the feathers off the chicken in the egg . . . them she . . . Oh, I don’t know how to write an adv. anyway. ROSCOE, at the SYRACUSE ELECTRIC CO.
