IT WAS all too apparent that Deadeye was on a

at their desks before the menacing advance.
And Deadeye Dick, who had galloped in from
his stronghold on the Old Military road high up on
the foothills rimming the valley, was truly a sight to
strike terror to the stoutest heart. Huge silver em-

watched those flames coming
closer and closer to all of our

short of a miracle could possibly
save them. But the miracle did
happen. The fire department re

MONEY CANT BUYAIRINlHAf
BY FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
"Doubt settled deeper on Cap
itol Hill today that there will
be any excise tax cutting this
year at all."
w
HATS it all about?
Well, excise taxes are those
nasty things you pay when you
eo to the store and buy turs.
jewelry, luggage, toilet prepara
tions, movie tickets, tires, tubes,
baby bottle warmers and
heaven knows how many other
things. You come away from the
store griped no end because if
you hadn't had to pay the tax
your money would have gone
farther.
Knowing this, everybody in
Washington WANTED to cut ex
cise taxes this election year.
President Truman wanted to
cut 'em about 650 million dol
lars worth and make up the dif
ference somewhere else pre
ferably by more taxes on the
wicked corporations.
The house ways and means
committee (all of its members
facing the voters this year and
wanting to be re-elected) got
started cutting excise taxes and
ran its tentative total up to
$1,134,000,000 before it had time
to catch its breath.
We're expected to go five or
six billions into the hole anyway
this year and cutting another
billion off of revenue would up
the deficit a billion more unless
NEW taxes are levied and new
taxes are always dangerous
things to monkey with in elec
tion years.
Hence the dilemma mentioned
in the Washington dispatch.
PERSONALLY, I lean to the
belief that until congress can
get up its nerve to CUT SPEND
ING it should restrain its campaign-year
yearnings to cut tax-

SPEAKING of spending, this

it is accepted as a truism among
the professionals that the way
