THE government Is slaughtering five million hogs, In order to reduce the available supply, so that prices for the hogs that remain msy rise. That, a few years ago, would have seemed a strange thing to do so atrsnge that anyone who proposed It mould have been regarded aa crazy. NOW we takeU a matter of course along with the plowing under of cotton and the leasing 01 wheat land in order to keep It out of production. We live In a changing world, and the radical absurdity of one decade fcecomes the commonplace of the next. IT would be "Interesting, wouldn't It? If Karl Marx could come hack to life. He would probably be overwhelmed with humiliation at finding himself so hopelessly old fashioned and conservative. THIS, probably!

But It la at least encouraging to note that for the week ending Aug ust 23 bank clearings at leading cities of the United States show an Increase of 12.7 per cent over the correspond ing wek a year ago.

Here sgaln Is a question that can't I answered with positive certainty, put when your heart action has been dangerously bad and you take a itlmulant to Improve It, you are in clined to give the credit for the Im provement to the stimulant. SPEAKING of a'tl'mulants, the tsx spenders have been taking them liberally In the past quarter of a century. ' Within the past 25 years, expendi ture of the national government have Increased about 370 per cent, .xpendlturea of the atate governmenta .bout 800 per cent and expenditurea ef local governments about 649 per cent. That la going up pretty rapidly, Isn't It? IT may be that you pay no taxea, and ao may be inclined to say: "What does all this' mean to me?" Remember this: Taxes are a part ef the coat of doing business, and so must be added to the price of what you buy. And don't forget this: Taxes must come out of the earnings of business. The more money taken out for tax es, the LESS remains with which to pay good wages. Tou ARB Interested In hihg taxes, whether you pay them DIRECTLY or not. BULLETS FLY IN CHICAGO STREET CHICAGO.
