WANTED: NEW TAX IDEAS
..A new tax is just another tux, and
1 have never known one tax to take
the place of another tax. It's HkOj
Willie being born: he doesn't takej
g.\ Susie's place, he simply becomes a
member of the family. He starts off:
as little brother and winds up as big!
brother.
It's funny that public expenses
can't be cut like private expenses
have to be cut. Our politicians never
think that it might be possible to
get along on less money; all they
think about is: where can we get
some more money? Very few politiciuns,
except senators and congressb
"ten, pay much taxes.
..The majority of our political jobs
are as useless and as unnecessary as
an appendix, and they .are Just about
^ as hard to operate on as an appendix.
The public has lost confidence in the
efficiency and honesty of'the average
office-holder, yet most of them are
honest and are doing all they can for
both themselves and. the taxpayers,
which ain't very much. .
. Ever go around and look at some
of the state colleges in your state?
Try it some time. The Pirst^ thing
that will impress you like a brick bat
i.>: Why s) many costly buildings and!
so many apparently unnecessary activities?
It costs nearly as much to,
send a boy or girl to the best denominational
college as it does to a state
college. I'uXzle: What do they do
with the appropriations? Build!
..litre wo are though, all set J
|(b.,?d toads, and worn out cars; tine
churches with a tall steeples and n
lug mortgage; wonderful -ehool buildings
and half of our farms boing sold
for taxc*; line white-ways and beautiful
paiks in ?.ur cities while our
bonds arc going a-begging at -10 to
.">0, and our credit a thing of the past:
farm products not fetching enough
f<i to pay the freight charges for a00
mill's while hundreds of our children
are both naked and hungry.
..And all of our fine men in public
\ office, i . .the ones we tore our shirts
and gabled our throats for a few
weeks ago. . . . to get them elected so's
they could cut expenses.... yep, look
at 'em: most of them hunting some
new kind of tax to install in order
that they might finish busting the
country and save the jobs for the
guys that now have 'em. Their idea
is to cut up instead of cut down. How
much longer-can we stand this kind
of monkey-business? As for me and
my house, folks, 1 am telling BradI
street that we are Dun.
A VOTE FOR TEC HNOCRACY
deer mr. editor:

(lubuse brown, of huntsvillc. alabnma,'
asking me to rite up my views on
technocracy, the new age which has;
recently come out and which is now
R
going the rounds in newspapers and'
maggazines and polliticks.
I personally, i am in favvor of teck-.
noerncy. as it lias hope me a right
smart up to now, and i look for more
comforts to come from same, befoar I
the machine age, man had nianny
burdens on his shoulders, but teck-j
nocracy has unloaded them onto a
machine an.so forth.

a few years ago, i had to hepp my i
wife milk the cow. she was a mean
cow but give plenty milk, but she.
wouldn't let her set down on a stool j
and milk her without me holding her
head and tail, but technocracy invent-j
e<i n thing to fasten her head to the
wall with, and now she milks by herself.

Hog Cholera
There have been several recent outbreaks
of hog cholera in the county.
In each instance the people of the
community involved have cooperated,
splendidly and immediately with the'
county agent, who made arrangements
at once in each case to have
hogs of that community vaccinated in
order that the cholera may be wiped
out in that particular outbreak.
It is urged that those farmers who
do not yet have their pigs vaccinated
and who desire to have same done!
notify the county agent at once. It
is also urged that in event hogs of |
any community become affected with;
cholera or are sick from any cause'
and it is not known what the trouble)
is that someone in such community!
will notify the county agent at once, i

BAKING HINTS
Ice Cream Pie )
We all have always loved a "Baked
Alaska." Hut it has seemed quite an
effort to make it at home. This ice
cream pie is tho same principle but
being on a smaller scale it seoms
more simple.
Method: Bake your pie shell ahoad
of time. Have ico cream, any desired
flavor, in ice box. Have oven hot. I
Just before you are ready to serve,
beat 3 egg whites stiff, add 3 tablespoons
of powdered sugar. When
nearly ready to serve, place a white
paper on a board and the pie shell
on the paper. Fill shell with ico
cream. Cover with meringue. Be
sure there is no gap between pie
crust and meringue. Then place in
oven to brown. Serve immediately.
The result will be charming as to
all appearances the pie will appear
as an ordinary pie and the ice cream
filling will be both a surprise and delight.
