REMEMBER AN OLD TRUTH
There is a rather curious attitude abroad now in the king-
dom of politics. Membeis of the political courts admit that the
trend of legislation in all forms of government is toward higher
taxes—but insist that these additional costs will be taken care of
by new sources of revenue.
The potential tax on liquor íb a good example of this. At
this writing 20 states have ratified repeal, and none have turned
it down. And at Washington and in two score state capitals,
public men chirp gleefully to the effect that a liquor tax will pro-
due millions in revenue, and make possible more bond issues,
more governmental ventures into strange and attractive realms.
Apparently no one in public office has taken the trouble to
l int out that there is only so much money in the country. It
can buy only so much—it can pay only so much in taxes. A new
tax, whether on liquor or on anything else, doesn't create more
national income. It simply takes money from a different place—
which leaves less money in another place.
Tax juggling has been the curse of modern governmental
economy. It's the old dodge of spending out of the citiezn's right-
hand pocket instead of his left. For ten years we have listened
to speeches on tax reduction and have permitted the national
uxpense account to soar. And it's time we remembered a fact
of the utmost simplicity—the only way lower taxes can be had
is for government to spend less money.

THE MOTORIST WHO TAKES CHANCES
You see them on streets and highways every day
who take chances.
You see them turning corners at high speeds. Or stealing
another car's right of way. Or passing on hills and curves. Or
driving on the wrong side of the road. Or cutting in and out of
thick traffic. Or coming roaring into intersections and road
junctions without looking to either side. Or operating at speeds
which are obviously higher than are safe under driving conditions
of the moment. And, every once in a while, you see such a motor
ibt cause an accident. Perhaps there is little damage done. Or
perhaps a life is lost and valuable property is needlessly destroy
td.
The reckless motorist comprises ten per cent or less of the
driving population. But he causes ninety per cent of the accidents
If the reckless drivers simply injured each other it wouldn't be
particularly important to the rest of us. But they seldom do
♦hat—they maim and kill the careful, the competent, the prudent
And you never know who's going to be next.
This year about thirty thousand people are going to be killed
because someone was cereless, reckless, discourteous. Not one
of a thousand of those deaths is really due to an unavoidable ac-
cident—an occurrence which is almost as rare as the dodo. They
can all be prevented. And they will be when there is a concert-
ed public drive against those who make places of carnage out of
public highways.
Washington.—The consumers' pro-
tective division of the national recove-
ry administration is preparing data
on prices as a guide to consumers and
as a deterrent to undue price increases
as a result of the administration's
efforts against unemployment. Price
increases are expected as a result of
the signing of codes by industries
which establish minimum wages and
maximum working hours and increases
employment, but what the administra-
tion is anxious to prevent is exhorbi-
tant and unnecessary increases.
One of the chief problems confront-
ing the administration has been to
create buying power through increas-
ed employment and higher minimum
wages in advance of the price increase
and has held out that if prices went
up in the same relation to buying
power the national effort will havt
made no headway. A provision ir
the President's blanket code pledges
signers not to increase the price over
that of July 1, 1933, more than enough
to meet the increased costs and retail
prices are not to advance until the
dealer has exhausted his supply of
goods purchased at the fromer low
price level. Some retailers have ad-
vertised that retail price increases will
go into effect September 1st.
Consumers Asked to Co-operate
In addition to protecting the con-
sumer, cards are being distributed
through the recovery administration
to the consuming public by which the
signer is pledged to co-operate in re-
employment by patronizing employ-
ers and workers who have signed up

University of Miami's field course in
marine zoology, the first ever estab-

hidden depths.
In helmets and bathing suits the
students, including girls, are lowered

30 miles southeeast of here, while
their companions on the boat' pump

They dive in water 30 fe<>t deep and

Escaped.. Forger

Little Rock, Ark.—Warden A. C.
Steadman is bringing Willis Hirsch,
33-year-old forger prisoner, back from
Los Angeles to the Arkansas peni-
tentiary to pay the state the 17 years
he still owes it and possibly to do some
explaining about philanthropic tenden-
cies.
The warden said Hirsch, as prison
bookkeeper, used his skill in penman-
ship to alter records so that he ob-'.
tained release as a short-term liquor
law violator. He took with him sev-
eral blank prison vouchers.
Some of the vouchers, the prison
officials complained, were used to buy
100 turkeys for convicts at the peni-
tentiary. A short time later a ship-

RENOVIZE THE UNITED STATES
Eighty-five per cent of Americans are inadequately housed
Seventy-five per cent live in hand-me-down quarters bare of mod-
em comforts and conveniences. Where our annual building ex-
penditure in 1928 was $6,500,000,000, it was only 2 billion last
y«ar.
These facts appear in an editorial in the St. Clairsville, Ohio,
Chronicle. And, as the editorial further points out, there are
•ound indications that a major building revival is on its way
Every American desires better living conditions; millions of Am-
ericans have been prevented from achieving them the past few
years either because of financial stress or fear of the future. That
fear is now being allayed—recovery has started, and it can be
seen in all parts of the country. Men are going back to work,
factory chimneys arr smoking—and dollars are finding their way
into pockets from where they will go to buy the necessities of life
A good part of those dollars will either be used to build new homes,
or rebuild and modernize old ones.
It' time for a national campaign to "Renovize the United
States." That would speed recovery and be the most potent in-
fluence that could be brought to play in stabilizing price levels
nod providing employment.
Remember that employment and investment are better and
eh—per than charity. Remember, too, that in a few months,
whan the building boom gets underway, prices are going up and
foioff to stay up.

submitted to government agencies
last week by the National Association
of Tobacco Distributors and the Re-
tail Tobacco Dealers of America, In-
corporated.
The marketing provision, designed
to come under the agricultural ad-
justment act, set up definite discounts
which manufacturers shall allow to
wholesalers, distributors and retailers
and provided that each manufacturer
post a fixed retail price for each brand
of cigarette and cigar he produces.
No retailer under the agreement
would be permitted to sell the tobacco
products at less than the posted re-
tail price, nor would they be allow-
ed to give customers any discounts
or rebates in any form, including trad-
ing coupons or other consideration ex-
cept that one pad of matches could
be distributed with each package of
cigarettes.
A discount of not more than 5 per
cent would De allowed on the retail
price for sale in carton lota. In mak-
ing Kales to distributors, manufactur-
ers would allow on cigarettes a dis-
count from retail price of 20 per cent,

A cigars, little cigars, smoking tobac-
co and snuff, 26 per cent, 10 per cent
and 2 per cent.
On all cigars other than class A,
which retail for 6 cents apiece or less,
the discount would be 26 per cent, 12
per cent and 2 per cent.

Women Chase Burglar,
Hold Him for Police
Amarillo, Texas. — Two Amarillo
women ran down a youth who burg-
larised the home of one of them, then
held him until police arrived.
Soon after the youth was seen leav-
ing the rear of her residence, Mrs.
H. A. Waller missed five rings and
small amount of money. She and
Mrs. Ben Carlton Maad gave pursuit
and caught Bp with the burglar on the
Canyon highway. They recovered the
rings and money and called police.
Half a dozen years ago Miss Wil-
kinson started dropping in to visit her
dad after school. She became inter-
ested in the work and before long was
studying it in earnest. She has been
at it steadily since.

Police Nab Man And
Charge Him With
Kidnaping Himself
New York. — David Kahan, 54, a
Brooklyn restaurant owner, was
"trapped" by police recently and
charged with kidnaping himself.
Kahan, police said, figured he was
worth $5000 to his family, but agreed
to let himself go for $500. He was
dragged out of bed in a farm house
at Hudson last week, after holding
himself a prisoner for a week.
Also arrested was Dominick Init-
tocchi, 39, an employe of Kahan, who
acted as a "mysterous stranger" de-
signated to collect the money. When
detectives nabbed the man picking up
a fake package of bills, they discover-
ed it was Initocchi, who was quoted
as saying it was all Kahan'a idea.
Too Many Romances
Blamed For Suicide
Chicago.—Romantic ventures that
becamo too complicated were blamed
for the suicide of Julius Straub, 02.
To his home recently came Mrs.
Minnie Kauform, 50, and Mrs. Mary
Schneider, 62. They wanted Straub
to explain why he had courted both
of them with promises of marriage.
The situation became a little more
complex when they found Straub with
his wife.
