atEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. BEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1933. PAOE THREE Society and Clubs Edited by Eoa Nealon Hamilton Verse Choir Gives Worthy Program for Local Audience By Jane Snedlcor Before a very appreciative audience Thursday evening at St. Mark's Guild hall the verse choir from California State college gave a clever and un usual program. It proved to be all and more than had been promised, for fourteen Individual voices blend ed together produced a harmony and rhythm found only In the highest class of concert work. The audience felt at once what Individual members, expressed many times, that they en Joy poetry and no matter how strenu ous the work they enjoy It and find this choir one of the bright spots in college life. The smoothness and finish with which the members changed places and moved from one selection into the next one on the program bespoke clever and untiring training on the part of director. Much credit Is due Miss Elizabeth Jenlts. of the department of public speaking In the State college for the organizing and working up of this unique form of instruction and en tertainment. The poems given were grouped well, sometimes the entire choir of four teen appearing on the stage, then only the ladles. Again a group of four or six and not the least enjoy able were the selections given by the three men. Sometimes the voices were low and deep and again clear and bell like, but always In a perfection of har mony and correct pitch. Some selec tions like "The Congo" and "The Family Drum Corps" were dramatized and the audience felt the rhythm of sound and motion and again as in Poe's "Bells" the voices alone carried on Into the mystery of true poetry. The closing numbers were very Im pressive, the speaking of several well known psalms, Kipling's "Recession al" and the last number. "The 23d Psalm, left the audience reluctant to have' the two hour program close. Activities of Lesion Auxiliary By Mrs. Goodwin Humphrey.

Study Club Gives Time to Taxation The Wednesday Study club met on December 6 in the women's club rooms. The subject of "Exploring the Times' was continued." Mrs. J. O. Grey presenting the subject of j "Our Tax System and Tax Bodies." j Mrs. Grey had givon this most talked , of and perplexing problem, that is now confronting the American peo ple, a most careful study. Never since the Boston Tea Party has the I tax problem been of so much vital j Importance and concern to our na-1 tlon as now. Civilization and taxa-l tlon seem to go hand in hand.1 Death and taxes are the only two things we are certain of in this life, she reminded. One cause of high taxation Is Viat the people are de manding more things of government. state and cities. The great problem la to get these burdens more equally distributed to relieve the already overtaxed individual. Some states have a multiplicity of taxation pub lic utilities,, inheritance, income, In tangible, general property and gaso line, and now comes the sales tax. Property tax has become so heavy that it Is the most delinquent of all taxes. Tax delinquency is worse in Oregon than In any other state, ex cept Oklahoma. Some corporations operating In 35 states are compelled to pay heavy taxes in each separate state, and the public Is demanding that they pay more and more each year. In 1013, we were paying only 8 per cent of all money and in 1032 it was thirty-three percent. Total amount In 1013 was five billions and In 1032 it was thirty-two billions. Conditions are far worse now than In 1013, yet this enormous sum goes as running expenses of government. There are over five hundred thousand bodies in the United States. Mr. Roosevelt says In his book, "Looking Forward." These are known as governmental units, and all must have governing bodies with a great number of offi cials. A large percent of the taxes goes for education. In Jackson coun ty It Is over fifty percent. Oregon has two thousand two hundred school units, while Utah has only forty. Mrs. Grey advised the reading of Mr. Roosevelt's book. "Looking Forward." Mrs. W. C. Janes very ably reviewed Mary Beard's book, "America Thru Women's Eyes." This book com prises many magazine articles written by different women on various sub jects of Interest to women of tho present day. These articles show how the women are thinking and the part they are taking in trying to bring about better conditions in the coun try. Mrs, M. M. Morris brought a varied number of current events. One in teresting fact was that the special revenue or tax that the president put into effect last June will now be done away with, as It was only to be effec tive until the repeal waa put into effect. This revenue was to be de rived from the new liquor tax. And the new flax Industry in Oregon Is to be helped by federal loans. .Miss Heard and Mrs. Johnson Entertain at Bridge Miss Thelma Heard and Mrs. Fred erick Johnson, Jr., were hostesses Friday evening at a bridge party held at the Holly apartments.
