YEAR nl tills time wo hear much grumbling from somo
EVERY
Tulia citizens ngolnst high tnxoB Some call nttontlon to tho tllf
ftrence between the tnxeH they must pay now and those thoy woro
required to pny ton years ago Others montlun the fact that a high
tax rate often discourages now Industry nnd now hiiBliies from coming
to a city Still others cite figures showing thnt federal taxes have
declined In recent years some forty percent while locnl taxes and
state tnxes havo gone up about sixty and ninety percent respectively
But all of this discussion Is not now High taxes havo sorved as n
great political issuo In this country from tho time of Uio founding ot
the Republic High taxes are given as one of tho causes of tho decline
aud fall of tho Romnn Empire And still earlier In history high taxes
brought about wars revolutions and tho assassination ot monnrchB
But why one may reasonably ask has all of this agitation failed
to produce tho desired results
Our answer Is this Eccniiso pooplo domain moro and more ench
year from government and then object to footing tho bill when taxpaying
timo rolls around Lot us look at our community as nn ox
ample
Thirty or forty years ago wo wore satisfied with dirt streets Today
we demand fine pavements In ordor that wo may rldo about at a
speed of twenty thirty or forty miles per hour without feeling a jolt
Thirty or forty years ago only n small porconUigo of our children
felt the need of a High School education Today wo want every normal
boy or girl to have the advantages of at least high school trainingThirty or forty years ago wo woro not demanding modern sources
oi water supply piped to our houses presentday methods of sownge
disposal uptodate means of tiro protection
Our community standard of living just llko our personal standard
of living has changed greatly during tho past generation This costs
money and the only sourco of revenue for tho community is taxation
This subject ot taxation Is onormous with many angles and rnmlfl
i at ions The purpose of this statement Is merely to remind our citi
zens ot Uils truism IE you demand n great deal from yourgovern
ment you must bo prepared to pay a great deal when taxes fall du

Tills muchloved writer has given
us with this romance tho story

Tho Book Rovlows of 1027 show
that 137 titles woro pronounced

biographies woro odslgnnted aB
tho best biography of the year
while some critics went oven further
and pronounced their particular
favorito the best novel of
the past twentyfive years or the
best biography of tho passing decadeThis all shows us that there Is
loo much otravagant statement
and too little conscientious re
vldwing of books perhaps the
Mighty Dollar Is at the end or the
trail for tho reviewer
So we nlmost agree with the
man who said Thnt when ft now

that Old Mr Groundhog Haw his

six more weeks of winter weather

A
Tho world lias traveled a long way since 1878 when Thomas A Edison
visited the White House to exhibit his newly developed Phonograph to President
and Mrs Hayes It is recorded that they remained up until 3 oclock in
the morning listening to the new invention which was run by a spring
Today the phonograph operates itself radio brings us the vocal entertainment
or the world talking pictures the drama of the world television
is just around the comer It is tin age of surprises with changes coming so
swiftly that we scarcely realize what i passing before Something new appears

Electricity first a curiosity then a novelty and then a necessity lias
helped make these things possible
