JR. 1 Editor and Publisher Office Phone 4 — Home Phone 9*l THURSDAY, JAN 3, 1935 MAIN STREET WHITTUNGS The report of the governor’s committee on taxation leaves just one impression. That no one wants to pay taxes and that different classes want the other to pay. The farmer and the real estate men want lower property tax and the present gross Income tax. The merchants and manufacturers want a sales tax large enough to pass on to the consumer. The farmer and laborer don’t want the sales tax because they know that they are paying very little of the present gross income tax, as the merchant is absorbing most of it himself. The campaign for the election of a Congressman for the second district has opened up. The Journal is in receipt of two letters, one from the Democratic'* party, the other from the Republican party. The Democratic one claims that the Republican party played bone headed politics when they nominated Halleck instead of the widow of Mr. Landis. They also extol the record of Mr. Durgan. The Republican tells of the number of Republican mayors elected the last election, in fact, they did clean up on the Democrats in this one respect and then the letter goes on to say that Halleck is the right fellotf, Who said that the election in the second district was going to be quiet? The Governor has not yet sent in his shock troops either. ■ 0 - • *G ANGSTERS *ON* RELIEF* • "client” was arrested Jtac other night after his automobile bis bumped into another car, says the Chicago Tribute. The recipient of public charity owned the automobile in which be was riding and three pistols, one of which he carried in hla pocket. He kept the two in reserve at home. His companion on the evening’s excursion carried two pistols which he brandished in the face of the motorist whose car had been bumped. Fortunately a couple of policemen arrived in time to prevent bloodshed. “Here is a minor incident in the day’s police news, but it throws a groat light on the administration of relief funds in this community? The facts should be remembered by the legislature when next the weight of the tax burden for relief to be borne by the people of Illinois is being determined. The charges of gross corruption made by Senator Borah, together with incidents such as this one, indicate all too plainly how necessary it has become to place additional safeguards around any funds which are appropriated," says the tribune. “This hoodlum had been living in ease and idleness, thanks to the aaies tax and the SO million dollar bond issue. Decent and hard working citizens have had to pay 2 cents for every dollar’s worth of necessities purchased in order that a gunman might enjoy nocturnal jaunts in his automobile. Property owners have been saddled with a heavy debt for the same end. How many more hoodlums are on the relief lists no one not in the confidence of relief administration can, know, but the number must be largo, for this is by no means the first item of the sort which has come to public attention. “Millions of dollars are being spent in supporting nearly 10,000 relief workers on the public pay roil. (The number is now being reduced by one-fourth; election day was Nov. 6.) The primary objective of this army of pay rollers la to distinguish the worthy from the unworthy poor. The ordinary citizen is left to wonder what the community is getting for the enormous drain on its resources. A man got by whose destitution was so great that he owned an automobile and had the money to buy gasoline and firearms. Are the relief investigators chosen because they are hopeless Innocents and therefore easily fooled, or are they actively in league with the hoodlums and gangsters? “These are cjDestions which the members of the legislature should ask before, not after, the next appropriation is made.** The Japanese servant in a Topeka family walked Into his mistress's boudoir one morning waamkeuncud, , Kiki?g C fiS i %o y * T S th. ffly. “Fmijlt be deeming “Oh no, .madam, replied Togo. *• When you the men went hungry.
