LOOKING... ...AT LIFE By Erick Brandeis Ha T !an Callahan, who r.ins thf> Seattle county ja;!. is c.iargrine.l and amazed. He had never expected it from his inmates. Some of tho e spivs in there a e CFtOOKS." he explained, when notifi- rt what they had done. And wmt had they done? Tlie prisoners in his jail were a’lowed to have te levision. They i.:oi to pay foi it by inserting slugs in a meter The slugs were purchased at the jail office by the pri.-onfj l«»r 25 cents each, "Ailh money pt for them by the she; iff. Hut thi ; is v. hat made the •■heriff so mail and almost comI letely destroyed his confidence in the honesty of jailbirds. Some o' the inmates ti.s.-d these slugs over and over. The procedure was sniiple. They took strands of wire

from jail brooms and attached them to the slugs, thus pulling out the slugs as soon as they had done their duty. Now the meters have been J moved out into the jail corridor ? and the prisoner, instead of : feeding the set himself, gives his | slug to the turnkey, who. in turn. ! puts it into the meter. 1 Yes. some of those guys in I there ARE crooks but television does quiet them down and they are much more docile when they can watch their favorite show. ‘ I was thinking how many of us people who are NOT in jail are also crooks at heart and pull j tricks that are no better than what those Seattle fellows in •ail were doing. I don't want to talk about income taxes. On account of our Florida trip, I didn’t have tinv' to make mine out before the dead line, and asked for a postponement for another month. However. as much as I like our Internal Revenue Office don't think I got the postponement for noth-

ing. The government, which pays a little less than three per cent interest on its bonds, charges me six per cent per annum for being a little late on my income tax return. But just now I did something which, if I were in the County J . il <ar.d perhaps I ought to be > would make my jailer say that I. too. am a crook. The traffi cop in Westport marks the tires of parked cars with a yellow crayon to keep track of whether they exceed the two-hour limit. So. after gotten wise to him. I simply rubbed the yeilow marking off with a handkerchief. When I got back to my car the cop was just going to put another mark on my tire. ‘Tm going right out. officer.” I said with a . mil \ and "O. K. Buddy,” he replied, also with a smile.

Another little trick which T don't think is quite honest. A friend of mine is quite fond of whisky, am: considers himself a great connoisseur. Not being a whisky drinker myself, I don't

know the first thing about the

stuff.

But his favorite brand is very expensive—too much so for my pooketoook. So I bought one bottle of it and after he emptied it, I simply j imred some much cheaper wiusk' y into the same bottle. Now when he comes to my house, he drinks the cheaper stuff with great relish, occasionally lifts the bottle to the light, and exclaims, “Ah, there’s nothing like the REAL stuff.” Here is the acme of something or other. A fellow from Hawaii, while sojourning in New York with his car, was fined $15 for parking in a restricted area. A couple of days ago the traffic court received a check for $15 and a lovely let of Hawaiian or-

First Graders Visit In Gty Monday, March 29 the First Graders of Bainbridge and the r teacher. Miss Pickett, boarded Mr. Surber’s school bus at 12:00 noon for an educational and pleasure trip to Greencastle. First they visPed the Records Hatchery. Here they saw the baby chickens hatch, which was very interesting to all of them. From the hatchery to the Fire Station they went. The firemen were very nice to them in showing them through the building. They told the children about the work of the firemen. The children were very interested in watching the firemen come down

the pole.

The next stop was the Post Office. Here Mr. McKeehan showed them through the Post Office and told them about their work. As the children were leaving a mail truck came up with bags of mail. The library proved a very worthwhile and interesting stop The children wanted to know if any one could read all the books, also how much money did they pay out for books in the library? At Bitel’s they enjoyed the beautiful flowers. The next stop was the court house. Here they rode the elevator. To some it was their first trip. They were met by Mr. Hutchins; also they talked to Judge Allee. They marched down to the jail. They rang the bell several times and started away when the door opened and they turned and were invited in. As the children looked around they found they were locked in the cells along with their teacher for a few minutes. All were ready to get out when the key was turned. At the Coca-Cola plant they were shown the plant by Mr. Rush. Everyone was so very courteous and kind to the First

Tariff Problem ^eadacha 1

| Import Duties Seen Big For Eisenhower, Congress' f ^Campaign tssvff fnJ954 . , Special to C&ntral PressX wrASHlNQTON-^One of the biggest headaches facing"Congress W and President Eisenhower is what to do about tariffs—the Import duties paid on goods brought into the country and sold here. Should these duties be higher or lower? * _ Our allies abroad olalm that America has erected such a towering wall of high dutieS-around our borders that they cannot trade with us because they cannot sell their goods here. After paying the expensive duties to get their goods Into the country, they complain, it is priced higher than competitive American goods and consumers Just won’t buy it. That keeps them from buying American goods that they would like to buy, they say, because they simply haven’t got the money, not being able to sell their goods here. ' ‘ On the other hand, many congressmen who generally advocate higher tariffs on imported goods paint a black picture of the effect they create when they get inside the country. American workmen Senator are losing their jobs and American businesses are Joseph McCarthy going broke, they declare,*because of competition with "cheap foreign labor.”

TARIFFS PROMISE to be one of the big campaign issues this year. There are two separate reasons why this is so: the Randall commission report and recommendations and the avowed intention of Senator Joseph McCarthy (R), Wisconsin, to make a fight in Consrress to cut off American aid to any country which trades with Rus- i ?ia or any of her Iron Curtain satellites. The Randall commission, appointed by the President, and composed )f prominent citizc-is from business, politics, education and other walks of life, proposed tax decreases of about 15 per cent in our a riffs, but several members violently dissented from the group’s flndngs. There is plenty of debate in Congress about the matter now ind this is expected to be intensified when the solons begin going over extension of the reciprocal trade agreements legislation. The matter of tariffs comes into Senator McCarthy’s proposal that :he United States should cut off all aid to nations trading with the Communist bloc. Many nations now maintaining such trade, including Britain and the nations of western Europe, claim that it is necessary f they are to survive. In the face of American trade barriers, they ;ay, they must trade with Russia to get the food and other hew ma- ! ’.erials they need. <*•**' • ONE ADVOCATE of the Randall commission’s findings (besides President Eisenhower) is former Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson, who in a speech referring to the trade with the Communists which some of odr allies are now carrying on, said: "I doubt f our friends are going to starve in order to prove to us how anticommunist they are.” There doesn't seem to be any easy answer to the tariff matter, one way or another. For a good example of the complexities involved, take i specific matter the Federal Tariff commission has pending before it or decision: a petition by several domestic watch manufacturers to ?ubstantially raise the duty on watches imported from Switzerland Here's the way the hearing works: Under the reciprocal trade agreements law, any manufacturer or per- Hera's How ?on in the United States who considers that his bustless is being hurt by competition from foreign prod- eanrigt acts can petition the tariff commission for a hearing Work n which he is given a chance to prove his ease. Both sides are given a chance to tell their story, then the commis;ion makes up its mind and makes a report to the President. He can -ither raise the tariff or leave it the same, whichever he thinks is best, fhe President is not bound to follow the tariff commission’s recomnendationa and often doesn’t./

Graders and they all went home very happy.
