Taxicabs in
New Argument
Whether taxicabs are of any
value to stage lines in transpor
tation of travelers to and from
stage depots, or between stages
and railroad depots, is involved
in a controversy that reached
the city council Monday night.
Eugene Laird, attorney for
Pacific Greyhound lines here,
renewed in person a petition
previously sent the council by
letter asking that taxi zones be
eliminated in front of the stage
depot and the taxis be required
to use the regular public park
ing stalls.
Tenants of the stage company
object to them, and some pros
pective tenants refuse to take
space in the building, Laird said,
because of the taxicabs.
Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom
thought the matter should be
held up until the new regula
tory ordinance is well on its
way.
John Steelhammer, attorney
for Yellow Cab and Capitol
Cab, countered Laird's argu
ment by saying that the restaur
ant operators in the Greyhound
building want the taxis there
and would object to their being
removed.
Ralph E. Moody said that peo
ple getting off buses often want
a taxicab, and that they are en
titled to consideration.
The upshot of a long argu
ment was that representatives of
the Greyhound, the taxicabs,
and the city administration will
get together and see if they can
reach an agreement.
Withholding Monies
One-Third U.S. Income
Washington, Dec. 28 (U.R) Em
ployers pour nearly one-third of
the government's entire reve
nue directly into the treasury
without employes ever seeing
the money.
Internal revenue bureau fig
ures showed today that income
tax deductions, social security
payments and federal unemploy
ment taxes last year accounted
for $12,531,614,546, or 30.9 per
cent of the total revenue collec
tions of $40,463,125,018.
Since July 1, through Dec. 22
all receipts of the government
totaled $17,052,713,174, of
which $5,816,909,411, or more
than 34 percent has been sent
driectly to the treasury by em
ployers. This percentage will be
trimmed slightly before the end
of the fiscal year, next June 30,
however, with direct income tax
payments by individuals.
Income tax payments with
held by the employer accounts
. for the biggest part of these pay
ments. Last year employers
withheld $10,055,501,785 of the
total $18,051,821,917 income tax
receipts. That was more than
55 percent. The social security
and unemployment benefit pay
ments totaled $2,476,112,761.

Town Leveled by Christmas
Blaze, Boasts N ew Spirit
Hyndman, Pa., Dec. 28 (Sf The fire whicli levelled this moun
tain community's business section has forced a new spirit of civic
pride in Hyndman.
That became apparent today as merchants, tovn officials and
businessmen started to lay plans for a new and better town
The Christmas eve fire burn-w
ed out three blocks of the center
of town. The bank, 12 other
business buildings, about 20
homes and the postoffice were
reduced to twisted, charred
wreckage.
An unofficial estimate of dam
age compiled by businessmen
placed it at around $1,000,000
a staggering amount for a town
of about 1,500 population.
But Hyndman has not bowed
to fate.
'We are going to build a
better town than we ever had
before," Charles O. Burns, cash
ier of the burned-out bank de
clared.
'The fire has bound the com
munity together," George Keller,
principal of the local high school
said, "It is really amazing.
Everyone is helping."
The high school was not dam
aged by the fire. Emergency re
lief headquarters were set up
there.
'Keller said "I do not know
of a single person who is not
& ond. One of the conditions of the
poll was that the impact made
by these persons could be for ei
ther good or evil.
Hitler was followed by Tho
mas Edison, Winston Churchill,
Henry Ford, Nieolai Lenin, the
Wright brothers, Albert Ein
stein, Joseph Stalin, and Louis
Pasteur.
Pasteur was the only one of
the ten who did not live in this
century. He died in 1895, but
the editors felt that his work on
the conquest of disease justified
his inclusion in this list.
Women received many votes.
but none got enough to make
thi first ten. There was heavy
voting for Lise Meitner, the ex
pert on nuclear fission; for
Mary Baker Eddy, the founder
of Christian Science, and for
Mme, Curie for her work on ra
dium.
Mr. Roosevelt won first place
over Hitler by only six points.
The votes were tabulated by al
lotting ten points to first place,
nine to second and so on down
to one point for tenth place.
Here are the first ten with the
number of points they received;
Roosevelt .. 882
Hitler .......876
Edison 686
Churchill 617
Ford 572
Lenin 536
The Wright Bros 525
Einstein 511
Stalin 417
Pasteur 396
doing all he can. We now have
a closely-knit town.
"For years I've been trying to
get folks to think about remodel
ing our school. In the p&t two
days, there have been residents
helping out here who have
never seen the inside of the
school before.
"Now they are talking about
a new high school building.
Merchants were talking about
getting construction of new
stores and offices underway im
mediately.
The bank will reopen in
new temporary headquarters to
day. It has engaged an expert
to open the vault, standing alone
in the burned-out area. It con
tained about $12,000 in cash.
The editors were asked to
state reasons for their choices.
The followng summarizes the
reasons most frequently given;
Franklin D, Roosevelt Be
cause he came to political power
at the depths of a world depres
sion and in a single speech ("we
have nothing to fear but fear it
self" lifted the hopes of the
United States and the world; be
cause his New Deal made such
radical changes in the economic
life of America that it attracted
millionaire and laborer alike;
because he probably was the
worst hated and best loved Am
erican president since Lincoln;
because he held the world's most
powerful elective office longer
than any other man; and finally
because he led the nation to vic
tory in the world's worst war.
Adolf Hitler Because he
helped evolve and sponsor a vi-
eous theory of race supremacy
which resulted in the slaughter
of millions of human beings; be
cause he deluded most of the
German people into believing
they coma conquer the world
because he built one of the most
powerful military machines of
all time and stood briefly on the
brmk of world conquest; be
cause he provided the spark that
started the conflagration of
Worid war II.
Thomas A, Edison Because
he was the genius of applied sci
ence the technique of making
tneories useful; because he in
vented the bulb that lights the
world; because his work contrib
uted to the development of the
telephone and almost all other
means of communication.
Winston Churchill Because
for years before Munich he
sounded the alarm against na
zism and was a prophet without
honor m his own country; be
cause he was one of the archi
tects of victory in World war I;
because he stands among the
great writers and orators of this
century; because even after he
was voted out of office after the
war he returned to parliament
and continued to work for the

.tood alone after the fail of
France and rallied his nation in
its darkest and finest hour,
Hesry Ford Because indi
rectly he is responsible for the
great network of paved roads
that stretches across the Umted
States; because he set forth the
theory that the way to make
profits was to cut prices and sell
to persons who otherwise could
not afford an automobile; and
finally because he developed the
assembly line and mass produc
tion f eehmqucs that helped
make the American standard of
living the highest in the world.
Nicola! Lenin Because he is
the best known revolutionary of
this century; because he preach
ed the theories of Karl Marx in
exile for years before he had a
chance to implement them in
Russia; because he showed poli
tical courage and skill in estab
lishing a stable bolshevist gov
ernment in the midst of the tur
moil of the Russian revolution;
because to communists he has
achieved the status of sainthood
in a godless land.
Orvilie and Wilbur Wright
Because they persevered in their
experiments with heavier than
air machines in the face of al
most universal ridicule; because,
unwittingly, they invented a
weapon that made World war II
the worst of ail time; and fin
ally because they were the cen
tral figures in one of mankind's
most startling developments
tils century the conquest of
distance.
Albert Einstein Because his
brilliant theories and years of
hard work led mankind deep in
to the unknown; because, an ex
ile from Germany, he conceived
the idea of history's most power
ful weapon for use against the
axis; and finally because his dis
covery that energy can be eon-
verted into mass and vice versa
took us out of the cosmic Jangle
and put man on the road to a
better understanding of nature's
forces.
Joseph Stalin Because his
word is virtual taw to almost
in World War, II he held his na
in World Iwar II he held his na
tion together after it had receiv
ed repeated blows from the
most powerful military machine
hte
followers work ceaselessly in all
nations to make the Russian rev
olution a world revolution;
and finally because his post-war
policy of power politics brought
about the cold war and the
dread of a possible World war
111,
Louis Pasteur Because while
he died five years before the
twentieth century dawned, his
work became the basis for many jj
present-day medical techniques;!;
because he discovered that bac- J
teria was the cause of infectious I
diseases; because his pioneering
made vaccination possible; and
finally because the "miracle
drugs" of today might not have
been discovered for generations
if it had not been for work done
in the Pasteur laboratory.
