The very recent rush to get under the wire at the
sheriffs office with the annual tax money and to pay the
ever pressing urging of the department of internal revnue
to the more fortunate has brought to the mind of the aver
age citizen again that taxes are a constant burden.
The well settled presumption that taxes are bound to
rise if govern men ts continue to function and spend money
does little to make taxpayers more cheerful. There is al
most a certainty that taxes to the federal government will
rise. Repair of roads and care of the aged are expected to
increase county taxes. New roads and social security leg
Approximately 250 men will be

reduced their requests on the .taxpayer in this county to
afford some relief.
It is thus almost certain that taxpayers of all classes
will be asked for ever increasing sums. The main concern
therefore, is that the levying of such taxes be equalized to
as great an extent as possible. A property tax limitation
law, such as in effect in Washington, might be passed in
this state to protect the property owner from tax increases
that are already near the confiscation level.
Schemes to help the farmer are plentiful these days;
they bloom on every political bush. Those farmers whe
have received property tax notices as large or nearly at
large as their income from crops raised would certainly
appreciate a reduction and consider it farm relief of a most
practical kind. No other business could, or is expected tc,
«fund a tax rate as high as many farmers have paid in the
survey ^f all rural highways in
the state beginning April 1, it was
announced here by R. H. Baldock,
state highway engineer. Cost of
the survey is estimated at $300,000
of which the federal government
will pay $250,000. The survey, ac
cording to Baldock, will provide
information upon v^hich to base al
location of funds tn the future for
improvements.

was the time of year for sulpher and molasses, that granu
lar and detestable mixture that was fed to protesting youth-
to protect them from the ravages of disease caused by the
long winter. It started a bit before this time of year in
fact, before the dock greens were out and while the snov
still lingered on the north slopes.
Whether we have departed from this custom because
of a suspicion that perhaps sulphur and molasses was nol
the cure-al it was supposed to be or because childrei
attained to so much power in the family circle that they:
over ruled the admonishments of the elders is not a matter
of historical record. We presume that the latter reason is
the more tenable one.
At best perhaps sulphur and molasses was of more
value to the mental or spiritual being than to the physical
It did strengthen the soul if it did not the body. One had
to have some iron in the system to look seriously at a
spoonful of it and take it into the mouth. Of such stern
childish habits were heroes made.
—-
One who could steel himself to sulphur and molasses
as a spring time diet was never likely to be led astray in
his pursuit of duty throughout a long life. Nowadays our
habits are formed because they are easy and pleasant.
Tomato juice may be as fine a tonic as the older one for
the ills that beset the human frame at the end of winter
but as a method of building stern adherance to principles
it can never compete with sulphur and molasses.
Radio crooners and such like may be developed from a
population that uses tonics that please the taste but for the
development of pioneers of the sturdy breed that fought
Indians, felled timber and built homes on the edge of civil-
ization in spite of difficulties and hardships, sulphur and
molasses is recommended. ♦
Here it is almoat April during which we plant trees,
start the base ball season and start fishing again. All of
them are indications that life has reawakened after a
winter of hiding from the cold.
Pensions ranging from $15 to

Producers, consumers and distrib
