ALLAN WEATHERHOLT, Editor and Publisher. PHONE 4 , THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1434 CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations and three cheers. The Syracuse basket-ball team has brought to the northern section of Kosciusko county, a singular honor and distinction. In winning the county basket-ball championship, the team, locally supported as it is by the facu,t Y» student body and community, nude a splendid record, had a good season, and played a hard game. In the activities of any organisation, and in this case, the activities of Syracuse High School, it is right that every citizen proudly turn his eyes toward the student body from which the splendid team was taken, and speaks words of praise and respect. The squad, ably coached as it was, cheered by fellow classmen aa it was and morally supported by every good citizen as it should be, wears its laurels proudly. And justly so. The victory wan attained by hard play, long practice, coordinwjd effort and good sportsmanship. We are also mindful |of the Warns who furnished the competition, but failed to reach the top. To these teams we extend a word or encouragement, and cong ratulz e them too, for their fair play and good sportsmanship. -1 -) _:O: WINTER SPORTS The development of skiing as a popular winter sport in the United States has reached some sort of peak this season. It is practised not only by sportsmen in the resorts where skating, tobogganing and other winter garnea have long been known, but by all sorts of people wherever hills and snow are available. Railroads In New England and New York have been running special trains to take people from the cities to the snowy country for week-ends. A single train recently carried 1,600 snow sport enthusiasts. There are snow festivals, in many northern communities, with carnival queen and kings in contests in numerous sports. And there is even coasting on many city hills roped off by police for this purpose. •It can not be said' that Americans don’t know how to play when large numbers of them take up these winter pleasures in such a frolicsome spirit. The new pastime has had a wholesome influence on the common life. It was only a short time ago that jokesters and cartoonists found plenty of material for ridicule in the clothing worn outdoors in cold weather. Where* now are dainty pumps without galoshes? Woolen socks, ski pants, snow suits, woolen gloves, snappy but warm headgear, are common apparel now, for everybody from kindergartners to their mothers and fathers. People v dress sensibly in sport wear, even when they are not able to join * the crowds that go to the play spots. When something is done to encourage winter sports in Syracuse and on Lake Wawasee, the entire countryside will benefit financially and everyone will have something to do. We are informed there was rn ice boat club organised here, but for some reason has been more or leas inactive. Why not a re-organization of this or the formation es some similar organization such as a skating society. It would be a good, clean, progressive movement, and one that the JOURNAL would heartily endorse.

BUSINESS AFRAID? Today business is afraid —and its fears are justified and logical. It is afraid bf our almost incredible volume of governmental spending, which is reflected in a staggering public debt and/ inevitably higher u*x*&. It is afraid of governmental competition in fields of private endeavor. It is afraid of governmental interference in private affairs that "" tend to take business management out of the hands of proprietors and ( put it in the hands of bureaucrats 1 actuated by partisan and political motives. When men are plagued by fears j Such as these, they are hesitant to I pWt money into productive enterprises, knowing that tax or legislative * acts may aeprive them of any re- . ward. They lose the urge of am- | bition, the aggressiveness, the de- . sire for achievefiwnt that makes . great industries no less than great : empires. They are unwilling to take the necessary and unavoidable risks , that attach to all commercial enter- { prises when their ordinary chance ot success is lessened or eliminated i by artificial governmental restric- I tions. If the Federal government continu- ; es to stifle business, real and per- • manent prosperity may become the idlest of dreams—Cumberland (Md.) I News. o ■ THE TAX IS $544 PER FAMILY Want to know your share of the cost of the Roosevelt Administration? Think this over: Taxes to run . the National, State and local govern- - merits this year will amount to $17,000,000,000. There are 30,000,000 families in the United States- This is equal to a tax of $566 on every family in the country.—Rockville (Ind.) Republican. ' One Democratic statesman insists that a law ought to be passed prohibiting straw votes. Why not make it illegal to publish returns of straw votes unless they favor the New Deal? - - o ..

A TIP TO THE AVERAGE MAN. Eighty per cent of all taxes in this nation are “hidden" that is, they represent part of the cost of articles and services, and must be paid by the consumer. The total net taxable income—not taxes paid—of all American corporations in 1933, was $2,500,000,000. The total net taxable income of persons with net incomes in excess of $5,000 wd . $4,000,000,000. This makes a total of $6,500,000,000. Total cost of government, federal, state and local, was $15,500,000,000 in 1933. Result: If the government had confiscated the entire taxable income of all corporations and all individuate With a net income of $6,000 or more, there would have remained a tax biU of $9,000,000,000 to be paid by persons and business outside of these classifications. The small-salaried man, the small investor, the laborer, the little business owner—these are the people who pay the major part of the cost* ,of government. The price of a loaf of bread, for instance, includes the 'cost of 53 separate taxes. So it goes t with clothing, light, tobacco—every J luxury and necessity you use. Indi- ■ rect taxation is one of the largest i items in the cost of living and doing business. —Detroit Legal Courier. MONEY WELL SPENT. It te hinted that the theatrical world is not entirely satisfied with the Federal Theater Project of th* Works Progress Administration. But there is still time for Mr. Wallace to take hold, and pay the producers a bounty for not producing play*. And even the bitterest critics of the New Deal might be inclined to say that the money for such bounties would often be well spent.—Worchester Telegram. 0 Scientists say that elephant* once roamed over what is new the state of Georgia.
