CANCEL DEBTS BY PAYING THEM If one. were to read the dispatches from Europe and the efforts of our own internationalists for the cancellation of the so-called war debts, one micht-C'et the idea that these sums which the nations of Europe owe /Uncle Sum are the only debts in ■which ihe United States is in’,e.- 'e<l and that their >.-called cancellation Would immediately restore prosperity- • . 'Yet such a conclusi n would be ■>b viously absurd The whole world is in debt and the private debts in the United States are far more important and more coflducive. „to unsettled conditions than the European debts could possibly be. / . No. one has yet been , able to prove that the wiping out of these European debts would help the people of the "United States. Such action might indeed lessen some of the problems > of ;» few international bankers, but it is not to he forgotten that the '.'debts would’ remain and what Europe failed to pay the American would have to liquidate. What we need is rmt cancellation of Europe’s ' debts but a scaling down of our public expenditures. and our taxes in the United States. In a recent statement . on the situation in America. Charles I’ Ad;nfcs, Well k:cwn- New England business '.man, completely answered the internationalists when he said: “Before business can show any great improvement, national, state ami local go.ermnental expenditures mus.t ♦sh>»w . : ia.l reduction*. The immediate and meet important political duty is Retrenchment, apparently it ioso the mbst-painful since it ta *0 /evaded and, deferred.

MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS The tax problem has taken this aspect. Every tax organization and .every class of pefople including farmers, manufacturers, owners of realestate and retailers are struggling to shift their taxes on to the other fellow; Thunder was heard one day last week. Some say that thunder heard now ; means cold weather. But much to the contrary, the weather has been warm. Let more thunder be heard. When w ill some/bright state legis-lature-propose a limit on other forms of taxation similar to the $1.50 limit <>n property tax? Deciding to get some use out of an ice boat sail, Bob Searfoss put it on a row bpat and went sailing. A gust of wind hit the sail, making the boat keel over. The boat keeled over so/far that, Searfoss decided that it was going "clear over. He jumped into the lake, but the boat did- not capsize. ■ . / . ' '■ Hobart -Creighton, the Republican representative from this county and ’a member of the Indiana House public inorals committee, was the only ;one -who signed the minority report j .ecwniiTiending indefinite postpon- ! inent <»f the bill repealing the bone j dry law. The majority report recom- ! mended repeal of the bone dry law. When the bill Was reported out. of the committee, Creighton tried to obftain recognition, to read his report j but was refused, in a storm of “nos. ” An attempt w as made last week by Joh,". .Marshall, a pn.fe»i -mil spe.l ‘binder, to organize a committee, of ! aetiqn .amongst the farme.is- of this community, the purpose of which ; was the non-payment of taxes and- of i interest on .mot \ -faimers until able, Marshall intimated that coercion and force might be rieces sary to carry out the above purpose. He des< ribed bow farmers iq l<>wa evaded the’purpi se of sheriff sale to < satisfy creditor’s, by preventing anyone except members of.committees < f action bidding on the property.' I Another proposal <>f Marshall's w:>s .to throw the whole burden of taxation on the rich and,on some vague corporations who are still making huge p’rofits, according to him. These utterances all too common these days of pay no one until able and soak everyone else, ‘were for want <>f a better word, the only I'hey have the th ,;e of ted < n them They have, when they aie told in connection with a graphic description of the preset t ecotn rnic situation, a plausible sound. . | Some will think, “This is the way out. I cannot pay interest or taxes. don't want tv lose niy farm, so 1 will joim/the committee of action and get out cf pay ing. ” Supp -se that such a thing w«uld i happen? Th.-t farc ers ••evciywhere would refuse to pay taxes or ii , until able? Would that not inean j end of our entire credit struc-. tuife? ./ In the firs’ place, there are those i who will never be able to pay no | matter 0 what the economic situation may be. 1 here are others who w ill I not pay Until the law forces them to, I and not then, unless they have propI«rty on which the law can. obtain I judgment. The. creditor is entitled to some consideration of the law when such persons are dealt with. And where is the fine line of distinction ”ctwe<; those wh ai e “unable” and I those who “won't?" Ihe Nut viva! of out i-ountr'y. depend* on the class of people who are tightening their belts and trying to i pay up or work it out. But the other type is pushing ' its I way so rw ard. Is it not probable that ■ with people repudiating the payment of taxes and interest they" will repudiate every other kind of debt? With one class of people repudiating debts what if every other class would refuse to pay debts? The re suit would be that business would be paralyzed and credit destroyed. Then would come anarchy, bedlam, bloodshed and finis. ■ ' o— BARKER OFFERS TROPHY’ TO PORK PRODUCERS E. J. Barker, secretary of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, again will offer a beautiful silver trophy to the Hoosier farmer who produces the heaviest average weight of hogs per litter in 180 days during 1933. John F. Allen of Sullivan County w-sis the winner of this trophy in 1932. it was formally presented at the recent Agricultural Conference at Purdue University. Allan's herd consisted of nine sows from which 70 spring pig* were marketed with an average weight of 1694 pounds per litter in 180 ■ days. The average weight per pig was 217 pounds. The rules governing this project are given in the Hoosier Pork Production Proejct records which may be obtained through any county agricultural agent or by writing to the Agricultural Extension Division of Purdue University at Lafayette. The object of this project is to improve the swine industry of the state to its highest economic efficiency. —— _o- — The trouble with most New Year resolutions is that the fellow who makes them is apt to turn yellow about the time that the Christmas jewelry turns green.

" ■ ■ . ————. 0-— —-■ ;> NEW ZEALAND’S EXPERIENCE II [One of the sol-called progressives ( recently swept into power was Gov. Floyd B. Olson, of, Minneapolis, the nation’s one and only state executive who goes under the title of a Farm-er-Laborite. Governor Olson thinks that our present industrial system is all wrong. In attacking it he said: “The United States has created the greatest industrial system in the history of the world, but that system has concerned itself almost, entirely with profit, and has been blind .. or selfish insofar as the welfare of the mass of the people is concerned. “That blindness and selfishness has ‘ caused the impoverishment of the consuming public, and the consei quent downfall of industry.” While it can be generally admitted that our industrial system is not : perfect, few human institutions are, j it must be admitted that the mass of j workers have fared a lot better under it than under systems in vogue Hn ether parts of the world—Soviet Russia and socialist Austria for ex- | ample. One of .the remedies which Gover- ! nor Olson has for our human ailments is some form of compulsory unemj ploynient relief. In connection with j this it is interesting tb note that NewZealand has been operating a system of 'state unemployment relief for just one year now and the operation has resulted in complete failure. To bring about the new order, New Zealand collected a tax of five i .cents on the dollar from all work--ne-/. but it didn’t W’rk. and local j committees have had to raise fdnds i ri|y t ■ take c: re/of the suffering ones. Ac.cdrdh g to a special dis[patch to the Chicago Tribune from Auckland: 4 “The*fict, the country w;s t. Id, was to be scientific: lly administered and all the- unemployed would be j sympathetically- considered. But the [.first result of the hew; legislation was Ito accon^lish si.meth.ing on which, jhe government had not reckoned, It I.dried up the wells of private charity. Benevolent citizens, previously anxious to help the less fortunate, now figured , out their unemployment tax ano found ths t they were paying from S6O to $l2O a year io aid the idle. In e.d'.litiom these citizens pai I a fiat tax of $5 a. year. The S6O payment was called ah ‘emergency tax’ but it was not easier to-pay because [of that.” «. Then, it is s: id, another result cf the >tate unempayment relief law was to create great dissatisfaction among the unemployed themselves. They resented being sent from one part of the country to am ther and [thought that the government ought simply to pay them a pension and i let it go at that. And the unemployI inent relief was not relished by the workers theniselves who had to suffer wage cuts and then pay a tax to help take care of the unemployed. It may be that Governor Olson has a better scheme than the one employed in New . Zeland and in many European countries. Perhaps he has found out how td repeal the laws of natural economics and to change human nature. If sb, more power to him, Othenwise he is apt to leave .the governor's ch.tir a wiser albeit a sadder man.

Q _ _ [can surplus pork AT BUTCHERING TIME I * The most practical and satisfactory way of providing the family with an adequate supply of meat throughout the year is to can the surplus at butchering time, say§ Dorothea Muehl Potts, extension nutritionist . of Purdue University. The old plan -of caring for pork never fulfilled the demands of the ideal meat supply. With much fresh meat to' be used, there is a strong temptation to commit grave dietetic sins during the ■ days immediately following butchering. The result is a feast and then a famine instead of a moderate adequate supply for twelve months of the year. Canning the greater part -of the pork with only a small amount cured by pther methods provides a better variety. Canning pork is no more difficult

THURSDAY, JAN. 26, 1933,

than canning, any other food of low acid content. With moderate tfbre any kind of meat may be successfully canned at home. The least satisfactory way of canning meat is by the open kettle method, for it is impossible to thoroughly sterilize the meat to insure perfect keeping qualities. The Bureau of Home Economics, in Washington recommends the pressure cooker as the safest method. Each year the number of women using this recommended method increases. If the meat is canned correctly the product has a fresh flavor and a good texture. During the butchering season housewives should make a special effort to can more pork to provide the family with an adequate, supply) of meat for the entire year.
