Woman is Dodging
High Taxes Now
By Unique Plan
By Dale Harrison
PATERSON, N. J.,' Oct. 30 (ff Do
high taxes bother you?
Do you awaken with chills and
fever at the thought of tax collectors?
When you get a tax bill do you
have that tired feeling? Spots be
fore your eyes? Headaches? Fever
blisters? Athlete's foot?
Don't despair! Read tho experience
of Mrs. Ida Horwltz.
"I have paid taxes for years," these
are Mrs. Horwltz's words. "Always1
they go up. I get dizzy, so high the
taxen go. I say, 'Is there no end to
the business? Must I pay taxes,
taxes, taxes?' and my friends say.
There are two certainties death and
taxation.'
'That gives me an Idea. There Is
no tax on death, though how they
came to overlook it I cannot Imagine.
Thero Is no tax on cemeteries.
So what am I going to do? I am
going to turn my property into a
cemetery. Well, why not? That 20
room house I've lived In for ten yearB.
It's coming down. Where It stood.
I'm going to make a cemetery. What
Joke on the tax collector. I'm
laughing already.
"I'm 70 years old. I am In a posi
tion to state that the payment of
taxes Is all right for them who like
it. If any. but that I get no Joy out
of the affair whatsoever. The ceme
tery will solve the problem."

vided by the If. S. department of
agriculture, then they shall be estab
lished or changed only after a pub
lic hearing. Continuing, the section
provides that these rules shall be
effective unless expressly agreed to
the contrary in Buch executory con
tract."
The latter proviso of the law, the
grain trade insists, exempts It from
the necessity of abiding by the rul
ing. The dealers declare that as far
as the Individual members are con
cerned ln tho conduct of their busi
ness, they feel they are not violating
the law ln the purchase of grain

much as terms covering settlement
are specified ln their contracts, name

Tho question was officially taken
up at a meeting of the grain trade
hero and Floyd S. Roberts, chairman
of the grain committee of the merch
ants' exchange, has advised Gehlhar
that it was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the merchants'
exchango was ln no way Involved tn
the matter as It does not buy nor sell
commodities, nor docs It store or

- It was pointed out that the Port
land merchants' exchange rules and
schedules of discounts and dockages
were filed with the United States
department of agriculture when the
futures market was organized here
In 1920 and was approved by tho de
partment. ; '
county chairman David L. Lawronce
described as "the greatest political
gathering ln Pennsylvania's history."
Applause ana cheers came from the
towering tiers of humanity at the
big ball park of tho Plttsbrugh Pir
ates when the governor made his ref
erence to beer and when ho replied
to former President Coolldge's recent
statement that he should have de
clared himself on the bonus.
Added to Advance Text
The governor's pronouncement on
the bonuB Issue was added to the
advance text of his speech at the last
moment. The declaration covered a
single typewritten sheet and was de
livered near the end of the governor's
lengthy criticism of administration
fiscal policies.
He aald that in accordance with
the fundamental policy of economy
It was necessary to eliminate from
federal budget-making during this
emergency, all new Items except
such as relate to direct relief of
unemployment.
He added that former President
Cool id go had said ln his speech ln
New York that "an early word from
the Democratio Candida to for presi
dent that he would reject tho pro
uosnl to pay a bonus would have
been a great encouragement to busl
ncss and reduced unemployment."
"That charge, my 'friends, Is base
less and absurd for the very good
reason that last April my views on
the subject wcro widely published
and have been subsequently frequent-
economy plank in co-operation with
him looking to economy and reorganization.
Whether Governor Roosovelt would
havo more to say on the bonus was
not Indicated as he headed for In
dianapolis, national headquarters of
tho American Legion.
His engagements included the ex
tending of greeting to county and
state Democratic officials and to 20,
000 school teachers on convention ln
tho afternoon.
' In Disputed Territory
Heading across Ohio and Indiana
into Illinois, the governor entered
what political observers regard as
hotly disputed tenrltory.
In a brief Jaunt through a corner
of Ohio yesterday, Governor Roosevelt
told citizens of Steubenvllle that he
"had no doubt" how the state would
go In November. He also told the
residents of that city and of Wolrton,
W. Va.. another steel town across the
river, that when next he returned
to tho section he hoped "the wheels
of industry will be turning again."
He promised If elected to do all
within the power of the federal gov
ernment to that end.
