6/Arthur Brisbane SPEED MEANS VICTORY DOUBLING UP TAXES COSTLY DISTRIBUTION LONDON WANTS US IN

Sir Malcolm Campbell, driving his automobile 272 miles an hour on Daytona Beach, back of John D. Rockefel'et’s winter cottpge, proves that he is willing to risk his life showing what machinery can do. No such speed could be of use on the earth’s surface, except possibly in driving a fleet-of armored tanks with a sharp blade across the front, and cutting scythes on either side, like the scythes of old chariot wheels, against marching regiments of infantry or cavalry. This country, which has undertaken no experiments on its own account since it successfully built the Panama canal, might well experiment with improved flying machines. Lieu. Williams, one of our best flyers, long holder of the American speed record points out that Italians and British, spending millions, competing for the Schneider cup and reaching a speed above 400 miles an hour, do not make such efforts ‘ fo‘r amusement.” “Give a fighting pil •( 50 miles per hour more speed,’’. says Lieutenant Williams, "rfnd he will wipe out a whole fleet of slower planes.” Uncle Sam, satisfied to watch Britons and Italians develop, the fastest airships, while France builds the greatest fighting air fleet, may learn later that he is making a mistake now. F. E. Williams >n, president of the New York Cer.tr.,l ..nd an able railroad man, contributes information on taxes that will help you to understand why your New York Central and other railroad stocks have dropped: "From 1915 to 1931 the sta'e municipal and federal taxes paid by the New York CentraJ__increcsed two and one half timeA, from $12,654,000 to $36,211,000. From 1915 to the first six months of 1932, the taxes paid totaled $508,071 In that period New York Centril paid in dividends .$355,701,000, p $142,370,0000 less than tax paymen's. Where New York Central stock earned 43 cents, taxes took 57 cents, during a period of 15 years. Do you wonder that New York Central and other railroads have st< pped paying dividends? On western farms oats can be bought for six to eight cei < ;? bushel. In Chicago you buy »>. ts for sixteen and three-eights cen's a bushel, ■ du . a < ■ i "f oats f'» a holse-Trfm t'h New Jersey must pay forty tu. :.t>Y tFr^e-eights cents a bushel. Docs it not seem that there is something wrong with our system -<>f_ distribution? The fanner gets s x <>». eight cents for raising the o. Is, plowing, harrowing, planting, harvesting, threshing, delivering. Distribution ’4o the ultimate consumer in New Jersey coats five .tilths wjhat the farmer gets. Nobody’s f.rnlf, but something Wrong. ; Suppose the man who buys a small automobile had to pay the dealer five times wh.t it cost the manufacturer to produce the car? Where would the automobile industry be? I.orjdon insists on talking about vh-vt “Britain and the United States c >ull do against Japan in case of conflict” and London says, solemnly, ‘ There is some doubt as to the ability of the combined British and American navies to crush Japan quickly.” The British even say that they could not do much, but they could and would let the United States use British naval bases, including Singapore. How very kind! The house repeals the prohibition amendment, with no frills or limitations attached. Now the slates will decide. Meanwhile, prohibition bootlegcritne has not retired from the field. Chancellor Hitler, German selfmade ruler, favors “total" disarmament” and will go to any length to promote it; He says to other nations: “Do away altogether with armies. and Germany will gladly scrap hers also.” Tt is a good suggestion, but will not happen. 1 Hitler continues his attacks on Catholics of the German Centrist party,” suppressing Catholic meetings and publications. It is curious that in Mexico and in Spain men born Catholics are fighting the Catholic church, and Hitler himself is a Catholic. The antagonism that Hitler's attitude has aroused in Bavaria and other German Catholic centers will make it hard for him to go as far as he hopes to do. You must take your grain of comfort where you find it. In this country, you never hear the cry “Juramentado! Juraroentado!” which in the Philippines warns populations that insane killers “ran amok” on Bong aw island and killed seven with sharp knives before the constabulary shot them down. Thanks to our prohibition bootlegcrime wave, we have an organisation of killers in this country that make the Filipinos seem peaceful, although our killers work systematically, to “protect their rackets," and do not run amok.

LOCAL MAN APPOINTED SUPERVISOR E. E. McClintic Put In Charge of Roads Os County E. E. McClintic, Syracuse road contractor was selected pt a special session of, the county comini: sioners, Tuesday afternoon to have charge of the 1,100 miles of highways in theKosciusko county road system. His salary will be $1,600 a year, ahd his duties commenced yesterday, March Ist. . I Before and after the passage of the law transferring the duties of the county road superintendent to the j county surveyor wi h the provision that the county commissior.ers could elect a tot.d supervisor, many Democrats over the county made application for the position. (,i The choice of the commissioners finally narrowed down to two men, McClintic and Walter I rick of War-! saw, and final choice was made late Tuesday afternoon. : • McClintic, who is a democrat, will take up the work of Clarence ‘ Helvey, county highway superintendent, whose term ended Feb. 28, because of repeal of the highway superintendent’s law\ under which he was employed. j The new law made it possible for the commissioners to place the duties of supervising the county highways ] in the hands of the County Surveyor ' or to create a new office of road , supervisor. The board decided on , the latter plan and named Mr Me-' Clintic. It was stated by members , of the board that since the county's highway system represents an ex-j penditure of about $3,000,000 and | will entail r.n annual expendi ! ture of around $115,000 for maintenance, it was considered good I business to employ a man of long ' experience in road building and road J repair work and thetefore Mr. Me-j Clintic was employed. Under the law his salary might ' have been placed at from $2 to S3' per mile of highway, which would have made possible a salaiy of anywhere between $2,200 to $3,300 per year. The board, however, went below the figure fixed by the statute and fixed the annual salary at $:600. Had the work been assigned to County Surveyor Robert Ptleiderer, his salary might have been from $2 to $3 per mile but in the etent the salary had exceeded that drawn by him as surveyor, he would have been allowed only the amount due him as road Early yesterday morning McClinticleft for Warsaw to assume his duties. In about a month he and his family will move to Warsaw, and will occupy the apartment above the county garage which the county furnishes. At present the aparment is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Helvey, who are to move within the month. ■ -O ~ — LIBRARY BUSINESS SHOWS AN INCREASE . Business at the Syracuse Public Library showed an increase February over the month of January. There were 25 days when the li-. bary was open in January for the loaning of books, and 2,581 were borrowed that month. In the 23 days when the library was open in February, 2,429 books were borrowed. The largest number of books ever loaned from this library during one day, was Saturday, Feb. 11,' when 197 books were loaned. The largest . day previous to that time was in January when 168 books were loaned in one day. Thirty-three children attended the children’s story-telling hour, conducted by Mrs- Walter Ballard, last Saturday for the first time. This service is free of charge, and is to be given each Saturday from 2 until 3 o'clock. Mrs, Ballard told the story of the wishing witch, last Saturday and, then read to her audience about Mickey Mouse. This coming Saturday she plans to continue with the story of the wishing witch, and then games are to be played. JIG SAW PUZZLE j CAUSE OF INJURY The first jig saw puxzle injury has been reported. It occurred when the I puxzle was being made, however, not when someone was trying to piece it together. Richard Mench accidentally put his finger in the way of the saw, Saturday, when he was sawing out puzzles at Wilt's, and < lost the tip of his finger by so doing.

MANY SYRACUSE AND WAWASEE RESIDENTS MEET IN FLORIDA

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thornburg returned home Thursday morning from their automobile trip south which included a tour of the state of Florida. While in Florida they saw many Syracuse and Lake Wawasee residents. When they arrived at Daytona and went to a hotel to take a room for the night, and then went into the dining room, they met Mrs. Kenneth Harkless who was working there. Later in the evening she telephoned Mr. Harkless and he brought Charles Brian to that hotel and they spent the evening together.

GROSS INCOME TAX INCREASES TAXES INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—The new gross income and sales tax ready for j Gov. McNutt's signature, will reduce your property tax rate on an average of 36 cents throughout Indiana, but you will be paying S3O income, tax or $19.50 more than you were paying. That is the history of all taxation reductions. You get the reduction but pay more taxes, according to the estimate made yester-. day by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. With the gross income tax, McNutt's tax program includes the state payment of S6OO on annual salaries of all public school teachers. McNutt has said the local tax rate reduction will average from 60 to 70 cents. The Chamber of Commerce says Me Nutt is wrong and places the tax rate reduction at 35 cents. Tables and figures representing the gross income tax bill as a tax increasing step were released yesterday by the state chamber’s governmental research bureau. The bureau cited that a person with a $2,000 income will pay $lO tax on it after the SI,OOO deduction. If the same persons own $3,000 worth of real estate, the tax on it will be reduced by $10.50, using the average 35-cent rate reduction. But the bureau figured that if all the $2,000 income is spent the 1 percent gross income tax is paid again indirectly by the spender, making his total income tax S3O, or $19.50 higher than he is now paying, i. The increase depends upon the person spending all his income and the 1 per cent income tax being added to everything he buys. A — ESCAPE INJURY IN AUTOMOBILE WRECK :. - . Three Syracuse boys and one from Leesburg escaped serious injury • in an accident near North Manchester last night, when his father’s car, which Maurice Crow was driving, turned over and was wise hod.

Spencer Heerman’s shoulder crashed through a window ahd he is suffering, with a sore shoulder this morning. The others escaped with even less injury. Maurice's father, Charles Crow was telephoned for and he went with Joe Rapp in the wrecker to bring the car and the boys home. The machine was on its top wiht four wheels in the air when the wrecker arrived, Rapp said. The gasoline which was splashed over the motor caught, fire, but burned itself out without any explosion. 0 R. VANDER VEER TO BE BURIED TODAY Richard Vanderveer, 66, prominent Milford attorney and a leading citizen of Kosciusko county died early Tuesday morning at his home in Milford.
