President Coolidee. in his Lincoln Day New York speech on
tax reduction said: "If we had a tax whereby on the first work
in? day the government took 5 per cent of your wages, on the sec
ond day 10 per cent, on the third day 20 per cent, on the fourth
day 30 per cent, on the fifth day 60 per cent, how many of you
would continue to work on the last last two days of the week? It
is the same with capital. Surplus income will go into tax-exempt
securities- It will refuse to take the risk incidental to embarking
in business. This will raise the rate which established business
will have to pay for new capital, and result in a marked increase
in cost of living.
"The high prices paid and low prices received on the farm
are directly due to our unsound method of taxation. I shall illus
trate by a simple example: A farmer ships a steer to Chicago.
His tax, the tax on the railroad transporting the animal, and of
the yards where the animal is sold, go into the price of the ani
mal to the packer. The packer's tax goes into the price of the
hide to' the New England shoe manufacturer. The manufacturer's
tax goes into the price to the wholesaler, and the wholesaler's tax
goes into the price to the retailer, who in turn adds his tax in his
price to his purchaser. So it may be said that if the farmer ulti
mately wears the shoes he pays everybody's taxes from the farm
to his feet.
"It is essential, therefore, for the good of the people as a
whole that we pay not so much attention to the tax paid directly
by a certain number of the taxpayers, but we must devote our ef
forts to relieving the tax paid indirectly by the whole people.
The foregoing seems like good common sense whether pro
posed by a republican of a democratic president. If the tax ques
tion could be considered as a business proposition affecting all

SAINT PATRICK.
from the
Far back in the mists of early history, there lived a robust
old saint who is reverenced by the Irish people today. He must
have had a most original personality, as something out of his
commanding and winsome character has come down through all
these ages, to influence the life of these times. He must have been
a man of great power and influence, as he is said to have founded
365 churches and to have put a school beside each one. The Irish
people, who have becomjp so important an clement in American
life, took back to Saint Patrick with a peculiar affection, perhaps
because he typified in so many wnys the Irish temperament, ino
man who did so much to stamp out heathenism, who faced and
Overcame the perils of thse savage times, must have been one of
undaunted courage and cheerfulness, and these characteristics
have been handed on to his descendants in America. Some one
has said that when an Irishman has a roof over his head, he singa time,
and if he doesn't have a roof, he sings too. There is an imperish
nble good cheer in this race that has helped them win their way.
Wherever you find the sons of Saint Patrick in this country, you
find people who have taken hold of the hardest tasks with per
sistent industry, and a kind of smiling faith which has worked
wonders. The first pioneers began on the most laborious tasks,
they helped build our railroads and dig our ditches. Now they
have risen to the highest posts in the nation and in business- The
same dauntless spirit that carried old Saint Patrick through his
achievements and drove the snakes out of Ireland, has today
driven away the difficulties and obstacles that beset the people
who come to a new land.

At the regular meeting of South
Deer Creek Grange Saturday night
nearly every member was present.
Considerable discussion was indulged
In concerning the deplorable condition
of the road from Dlxonvllle to the
city limits, but no definite decision
was arrived at. It was the opinion of
the majority, however, that inasmuch
as this road is the neck of a bottle
leading bark many miles and has to
bear the brunt of the travel from all
the road districts, that the county
court should appropriate enough
funds from the market road money to
maintain this five mile Btretch. At
present it is almost Impassable at any
speed. .
The movement now on foot to Ini
tiate a measure repealing the Income
tax law and the anti-margarine meas
ure were also discussed and It was
decided that if these two laws which
are part of the program to relieve ag
riculture are to prevail that the or
