It is a very effective means of defeating any new tax bill. Unfor- nately all taxes are levied on something thatlaxpayers prize or else taxes would not be paid. The property. tax levies against the farm and the sales tax against the produce sold from it. True, if a man does not pay his sales tax he may lose his property through default Nearly everyone will admit that the system of taxation now in general use in this country is no longer fair and equi table. It puts a penalty on the ownership of property unless it is possible to make that property produce income every year. One of the conditions--that has made thia country progress so raridly in the last 150 years has been the gener al ownership of property. We have evaded the pitfalls of radicalism because our nation of property ownershave been conservative and thoughtful of the consequences of too violent change ' It seems more equitable to protect the property owners who are the backbone of our country than to go forever with a tax policy that allows a large percentage of the people to get all the benefits ^ government without paying one cent for it. . The sales tax may not be the best means of doing this. But it is the way that is immediately available and it ¡8 a great enough change in the present system to draw attention to the inequalities now in effect. --------- O--------- Old Philosopher ago art now shouting to flow down. In-ofhtr wprd^ W0 oW duffers ask youth to slow dewn tb the pace of old age, before they’ve even had a chance to set their pace. No, I can’t see where times And whether we have changed are better oft I know- Of course, I can get to Portland quicker than when I was a boy. But what do I gain by getttag there quicker and why should I get there quicker? Of kqqrpp some present day farmer will say blit loQk at the dinky 1 jttle farm patches yoq use to h*vg. They’re right in that- HI gdrait that the farm» of to day are thirty times aa largp— but then, so are the mortgages. I was always «date to keep my barn filled wth hay, my bins full of grain, my herd on the increase, enough vittles to keep us alive, and besides able to sell enough to enable me to buy the mistsus a new bonnet for Easter hgyg a dollars left- And tihats as much as we expect to do nowadays- But still Fdj be a fool if I wished to live in those times again. I’ve always felt sorry for the folks who live jn the past an<| And fault oontinuaily with the pres>entL And its usually we old duffers, wh^ have slipped out of the running,' who try to think we amolint to something by harping on, the good’.bld days. No, I beljive we should sit back in tha sunsif of our old age and thank God that tlje progress of the world (has riiade it possible for us to enjqy such a fullness tn the last few years of our existence. Much better to do this, than to spoil the pleasure of the young by continually blowing off about the Eden of our youths,—to which we wduldn’t return, ourselves;, for all tihe chewin’ tobacco in the worjd—and that’s something Gras».

It is written by a woman were not slowed down. And now today tMy'r? »till be who has herself conducted stores in small towns, success moaning »peed. Only now, tA«# fully too. After tracing the growth of the dependence of the people of the country storekeeper she traces the decline of the confidence in him. It is hard to pick flaws in her argument. The article states that all rural storekeepers had a uni que asset in the confidence of their customers. Because the merchants themselves became dependent of travel Ing men for advise about buying and selling they have lost a part of this confidence. Good roads and the declining provincilism of the rural settlements have caused the country storekeep er to fall from his high' estate and his position of leadership AU this is too common a statement to be successfully con tradicted. M But the writer of the essay in question does not follow through to the same conclusion as many others and predict that all country store keepers are headed for disaster. An elegy is not necessarily a funeral dirge, it may merely be a sad song. It is still possible for country merchants to achieve success by capitalizing their advantages. Their best «met is the confidence people have in their honesty. If they combine with this bard work and common sense and car fully let customers, actual and prospective, realize the advantages that may be had by patronizing them they will s ill survive even after the mail order catalogue had been discarded anddhe big city department store has ceased, to attract. . 7 • PAGE incurred during the ........ ....................... .. 115 40 N-.m- of Manage?
