TIMES HAVE CHANGED
How times have changed in this
fast age. Men used to carefiilly look
over ahorse they contemplated buy
ing. They would look at its teeth,
listen to its breathing, inspect its
action, manner, and in fact every
thing. Nowa lays when a man go-s
to buy a car, he merely steps in and
strp? on t l.o starter and head's for I a
filling station. ^
DEBT FIGURES CLIMB
The federal government places the
gross public debt on December 15, at
$34,232*200,000. This raises the debt
$44,000,000 in exce.ss of the $34,188,-
643,494 estimated by President Roose-
vclt irrS^ptember""asTbe' totnl for the
end of the fiscal year on June 30 next.
A smart mathematician Kas figur-
e<l it out that if we started now to
pay off the present national debt, prin
cipal and interest, it would re<iuir8 an
average tax of $15.75 per year for the
next 35 years for every man, woman
and child in the United States. This
is $63 for the average family of 'four
people every year from now until
1971. This does not include running
expenses of the government but ap
plies only to payment of the present
national debt.
We are not among those who hold
the belief, or at least say they do—
that such unprecedented spending as
we are now witnessing tn all units of
government will bring, permanent
prosperity in the end.' To the con
trary, we do not subscri'be to such
reasoning, which to us is unsound. If
an individual cannot make himself
from Waahin^n, in the state, coimt-
ies and cities'on reducing taxes, aiid
yet it is never done. In our own
county a recent increase of six mills
in the levy was* made by a defeated
delegation after it had substantially
reduced the levy a few years ago.
In our city government there has been
no reduction in the levy for the past
five years in spite of depressed busi
ness conditions and financial losses
of the community. The time for talk
has passed—^he time—for* making
good _^n promises 'ha.s arrived.
Nothing would do more today to
encourage industry to develop and
employ more and more people than a

the late Senator Huey P. Long with
his ‘‘Every' Man A King” idea to give
every man a pluih of $5,000 a year.
It IS about three time.s the average
wage in American business and in-
du.stry today. Well who is going to
guarantee or provide this $3,600 Mr.
Green says we should all pull down.
Green and Lewis are trouble-mak
ers. They want to control labor, to
make themselves dictators and rulers,
and in attempting to attain that’ am
bition, they will promise anything.
It ’would Ibe Very desirable if each
family could have a minimum iu-
CWfrr’0r-n,600 a mr, or eveTfWar!^‘
«r, but it will never be attained by
listening to such disciples as Green
and Lewis. They are agitators, at
tempting to arouse labor against
capital, class against class — they are
a menace to the country.

of the tax commission showing a new
high period for the last six months
lof the past year, will serve as a
stimulant to institutions, depart

uals to seek larger appropriations.
There is also an insistent and spread
ing demand for federal allocations,

increasing to a total of $15,417,462.
One institution'^ in the state alone,

before a state hoard working with

log-rolling starts to pull them down.
