From S. I. McGinnis, Culloden,

From Mrs. E. S. Ruff, Cincinnati:*
I remember when wheat and
oats were threshed by a wood-
heated engine with men to throw
the grain up. It was tied in bundles
^nd cut with a cradle, sharpened
by a small, board paddle treated
with tar and sand. The wood and
water for the engine were hauled
a day before the threshing.
From C. E. Pleas, Chipley, Fla.:
In those days buxom maidens
took a hand in the art of reaping
the grain and often outdid the best
man on the job. .
From E. E. Meredith, Fairmont,

How high are our federal^taxes?
The Aiken Standard and Review
says, editorially:
"Fast as individual income tax
rates have risen corporation rates
have risen faster. The corporation
rate was held to a ceiling of 42 per
cent in World War II. Now it is 52
per- cent. Very steep excess profits
taxes come on top of this. The to
tal corporation tax runs as high as i
TO per cent. There is no much room
for further boosts here if an incen-
live-economy is to be maintained
in this country, and enterprise IsTol
be encouraged to progress.
“This illustrates, in capsule form,
the tremendous magnitude of the
tax problem. The heart of that
problem was described in these
words by Senator George: ‘There
have been frequent dispussions. ofi
what the total tax* ‘tawsfuntty be
without doing injury to our econo
my. There is no fixed limit; the
limit is to be found only when the
tax “take” destroys the incentive
of the people and when it leads to
every conceivable effort to evade
and to wasteful practices by the
taxpayers themselves’.”
