SOAKING TIIK PUBLIC
Ex-President Coolidge, in his daily writings, propounds
, some hard questions for the politicians to answer. He re
cently pointed out the simple fact that when Congress passes
Jaws for spending; money,' the people have to pay for them.
Also, when Congress creates a deficit, the people pay, not
the men who pass the laws.
The sniallei' the business find the smaller the income, the
harder the .tax load hits it. The small earner and the small
business, in paying rent and buying' supplies, are charged
with all tho taxes that accumulate on land and manufactured
gOOdS. ' " . ' . I '.-... v i
" So, when a single Congress appropriates $10,200,000,000
during one session, as did the last one, the man on the street
the taxpayer and voter is the one who will ultimately
dig up he money .to pay the bill. '
It makes no difference hw well tho politicians camou
flage their tax-raising schemes as assessments against the
wealthy,' as inheritance taxes, intangibles taxes, excise taxes,
special taxes or what-not, the laboring' men and women will
feel the effect in higher prices, higher rents, depressed busi
ncss, fewer jobs, lower wages, or actual lack of employment.
' Tax Jrioney does not grow on trees. . It coitus out of the;
pockets of the people. You can't "soak" a corporation with
out "Soaking" the consumer, and you can't "soak" the con
sumer without "soaking" the corporation in both wises you

CHILD HEALTH
Health begins at birth. National health is fundamentally
infant health. No nation can be said to be healths which
has a large Infant mortality rate and a large proportion of
deformed, crippled, and chronically infirm children.
National Child Health Day, proclaimed for May 1 by the
president, has for its goal a nation of strong, healthy, and
happy children. Its piuose is the concentration of national
thought and resources upon the development of such a
nation of children.
May Day means maypole dancing for millions of well,
happy children, but for other millions it is a reminder of
normal bodies, minds, and lives of which they have been
deprived. '
America is tho land of free education, equal opportunity,
high living standards, and the fullest social consciousness,
and yot it produces tho following statistics on children
0,000,000 under-nourished; 1,080,858 under sixteen gainfully
employed; 1,000,000 with heart trouble; 382,000 suffering
from tuberculosis; 50,000 partially blind; 14,000 sightless;
342,000 with impaired hearing; 1,000,000 with defective
speech ; 450,000 mentally retarded ; 200,000 delinquents ; and
many others denied something necessary for tho making of
perfect childhood.
Need President Hoover ask for additional reasons for call
ing upon the nation to observe National Child Health Day?
Can anyone summon up a good excuse for not observing it?
WHAT IS II BAD
Newspaper editors constantly strive to keep pace with
reader interest while improving their product, and are there
fore interested in data which serves to indicate reader in
terest m the-various features carried. Ferhaps they are
somewhat surprised by some figures given last week before
the American Newspaper Publishers Association in New
York by A. M. Clapp, of the Clinton (Iowa) Herald.
Records made from a careful survey of representative
newspapers show that 33 per cent of the women and 46 per
cent of the men readers of small dailies are habitual readers
of the editorials, while only 3 to 19 per cent, respectively,
follow the sports pages.
In a lesser degree the same comparison holds true with
the metropolitan readers. Eighteen per cent of their women
readers and 25 per cent of the men read the editorials, while
.5 per cent of the women and 29 per cent of the men turn
to the sport pages first.
This should put an end to the claim that the American
people read only headlines and comics.
