NO TIME TO CUT SALARIES.
ALL sorts of propaganda is being
talked these days to the end that
taxes be lowered. And many tax
cutters would begin by cutting the
salaries of public employees. There
may be instances where such pro
cedure would be justified. But W.
N. Ekbiad, speaking for the finance
committee of the Marshfleld city
council, gives a slant on the matter
that should have consideration by
all who agitate such procedure.
In explaining the Marshfleld city
council's position for refusing to
slash its employees recently, Mr.
Ekbiad said:
"We hear so much these days
about high taxes, but do not study
the cause of high taxes. The first
thing that comes to our minds is
to slash salaries. The county, the
city, the schools, have been asked
to cut salaries without any investi
gation whatsoever regarding the
actual amount paid the employees.
"Salaries are not the trouble, and
the tax is not a matter of what the
city and county pay their employes.
The high tax comes from unequal
tax collections, overbonding and
expenses not connected with the
salaries paid to the employes.
"Efficient employes were never
needed more than today. The sur
est way to cut down our heavy tax
burden is to spend less money. To

SOWING AND REAPING
Galatians 6:1-10
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
This quarterly temperance lesson
also suggests a profitable study for
these summer days. One of the
epistles of Paul furnishes the les
son text Search out all the thir
teen or fourteen letters that he
wrote and relate them to the his
torical account in the Acts.
Moral problems faced the people
in that day and these letters deal
very directly with human affairs.
Since the same difficulties are with
us today we find even greater help
in these same writings of Paul.
Read the entire letter and note how
the grace of God was superseding
the hard and fast laws under which
the Old Testament of Hebrew
sought to live.
Everybody makes mistakes and
the apostle tells that those who are
making the fewest mistakes should
be most kindly disposed toward
those who sin to a greater extent.
There are certain burdens that we
must bear for ourselves, such as
the kit that the traveler or soldier
carries for his daily necessities.
The Golden Text is just plain
common sense as well as spiritual
truth: "Whatsoever a man soweth
THAT shall he also reap." That is
certain in the material world and
not the less positive in the spiritual
realm. Wild oats take nourishment
from the soil and produce their
own crop. Alcoholic liquor is hab
it-forming and death dealing, no
matter how slowly the poison may
work. A single glass has Its effect
on the brain cells and lessens the
power of self-direction. Turn to
the newspapers for this week to
get more illustrations than can be
presented during the class session.
Big business will have nothing to
do with it. Alcohol takes away per
sonal liberty and is destructive of
body and soul.

spend less money, we must have ef
ficiency in ail departments drawing
a fair compensation for their work.
"The City of Marshfleld officials
have been asked to cut all employ
ees ten per cent, which matter we
took under advisement and refused
to do so at this time. Our total
salaries paid out in the city of
Marshfleld to our city employees
are little less than thirty thousand
dollars, which is budgeted for this
year. The city council could save
the taxpayers of the city three
tenths of a mill in slashing our em
ployees ten per cent for the balance
of the year. This would mean, if
you are paving one hundred dollars
in taxes, saving you thirty cents in
the next three months. The 1931
budget was carefully studied when
made, and our employees are en
titled to salaries as agreed upon
for 1931.
"I noticed through the press yes
terday that our Governor is raising
wages instead of slashing, in some
places, and no one is more sincere
in lowering taxes than Governor
Meier."
A GOOD CODE FOB
ANYBODY.
Autocaster Service.
MAHATMA GANDHI, the leader
of the revolution against Brit
ish rule in India, told newspaper
men the other day the rules of con
duct which have governed his own
life. He would not presume to lay
down rules for anybody else, he
said, but he had a code which he
had consistently followed. These
are the rules of life, as Gandhi ob
serves them!
Love.
Truth.
Chastity.
Fearlessness.
Service to others.
Control of appetites.
Belief in the equality of all man
kind.
Abstention from alcohol, tobacco
and drugs.
Belief that all great religions are
of equal worth.
Taking nothing that is not paid
for by one's own work.
Valuing possessions not for them
selves but for their usefulness.
It is not easy to live in a world
which professes, in the main, such
a code, and to obey it literally. For
while these rules of conduct as laid
down by Gandhi differ in no im
portant respect from those laid
down by Jesus Christ and before
Him by Buddha and other great
religious teachers, very few human
beings have had the hardihood to
even attempt to live up to them.
Gandhi himself, even his enemies,
admit, comes about as close to it as
any man in modern times.
It seems to us that one of the
causes of the trouble in which the
world finds itself today is that most
people have forgotten these ancient
rules of life, which have always
been sound and still are. We have
been carried away, all of us, both in
America and elsewhere, by the idea
that there is some magic in mater
ial possessions which will make us
happy in spite of ourselves. Noth
ing was ever farther from the
truth.
BACK UP THE PRESIDENT.
Autocaster Service.
PRESIDENT HOOVER has an
nounced a policy of rigid econ
omy in Federal Government ex
penditures. He has incurred the
anger of many minor officials by
ordering them to spend no money
not necessary to the public welfare,
to incur no further obligations to
be paid for in the future, and to
cut their estimates of their depart
mental needs for next year down to
the bone.
In the face of a deficit of nearly a
billion dollars this year, it would be
absurd to suggest that the Presi
dent is not more than justified in
his stand. Much of the reduction
in expense will have to be in the
program for naval expansion; a
large part of it wlil have to come
out of the Army appropriation. In
time of peace there seems to be no
better place to cut off expenditures.
We are not going to suffer if we
don't have quite so many cruisers
and battleships. Nobody much is
going to worry over the abandon
ment of a few obsolete Army Posts.
The country won't go to ruin if a
good many of the more ornamental
bureaus and activities of Uncle
Sam are suspended until we can
get back to an even keel and live
within our National income.
One thing is certain; there is
nothing which the people of the
United States would resent more
keenly in the present situation than
an increase in Federal taxation.
That goes, too, for state and local
taxes. Political leaders who want
to remain in office or to gain office
can do nothing more popular now
than to follow the President's ex-

ample and declare themselves for
economy in state, county, and town
expenditures. There is no part of
the United States in which the bur
den of taxation is not already too
heavy. Too much of it is carried
on the shoulders of real estate, not
enough on the shoulders of those
who get the benefits of taxation
without paying their proportionate
share.
It seems to us that public funds
should not be spent for the time
being at least, for anything which
does not directly benefit all of the
people. What benefits all of the
people Is public works which will
give employment to the largest
number of men and put them back
in a position to become customers
of the nation's industries and mer
chants. It also seems to us that
ways and means should be found to
apportion taxation in proportion
not only to people's ability to pay,
but also to the benefits derived.
We think that economy is just as
sound Democratic doctrine as it is
Republican doctrine. We cannot
see any partisan reason in this
move of Mr. Hoover's. It is just
good business sense applied to na
tional affairs.

"POISONED HEARTS"
My readers, I feel sure, will par
don this bit of personal history,
since it might concern many thou
sands of people who are past mid
dle age at a time when we watch
our common enemy from every
possible angle of attack; life
grows precious as years advance.
Possibly nine years ago, I began
to get sudden, vague, alarming
symptoms a feeling that I was
about to drop and "pass out"; it
was far from pleasing, I assure
you. I had never paused to take
an inventory of myself. These
"spells" came suddenly, anywhere,
and without warning the imme
diate symptom, a rapidly weaken
ing heart. Being a smoker, I at
once thought of tobacco.
From one of these attacks I stag
gered into the office of a neighbor
physician. After some examination
he said, "you've got a poisoned
heart, doctor I don't think it is to
bacco; on the other hand, I don't
see at this moment just what it is;
you need a heart tonic, and need it
right away, till further investiga
tion." Well . . . "investigation" revealed
are no melons so good as those
raised at Irrigon.

It had been going on a long time,

I set about to clean house, and at

within the body, will, in time,
weaken the entire cardio-vascular

then, the newspapers say "victim

days. Possibly hundreds of sud

to look up evidence in that direc

Two test tubes required. In one,
put equal parts of the patient's
urine, chloroform, and pure hydro
chloric acid; add a few drops of
hydrogen peroxide; shake the mix
ture, and pour from one tube to
the other a half-dozen times; if in
dican is present, a heavy blue color
will appear in the mixture, varying
with the quantity of the poison.
Then, clean out and keep cleaned
