With a tax collector stationed at every cocktail party this source alone

RALEIGH, Feb. 5 Extension of
ficials at State College now believe
that four months after its beginning,
the daily Carolina Farm Features ra
dio program is building up a larger
audienco each day.
The service was started during the
latter part of September, 1935 and
has progressed steadily since that
time. While most inquiries as a result
of these brodcasts come from North
Carolina, many are received at State
College from listeners in other states,
both nearby and distant.
One of the programs which has
proved to be consistently popular is
the home demonstration broadcast.
Extension workers reports that these
Thursday programs always create a
great deal of comment among rural
women.
Another popular broadcast in the
week's series is the poultry depart
ment period. Poultrvmen at the col
lege are more than pleased with the
response which they have received as
a result of sending out information
over their air lines.
The schedule for the week of Feb
ruary 3-8 follows: Monday. Dr. C. D.
Grinnells, "Hints for Dairymen;"
Tuesday, Dr. S. G. Lehman, "The To
bacco Mosaic Disease;" Wednesday,
Zoology department; Thursday, Miss
Pauline Gordon, "Home Manage
ment;" Friday, Roy S. Dearstyne,
"Questions and Answers on Paultry
Problems;" Saturday, S. A. Redfern,
"The Tennessee Valley Authority."
A BOX OF PIN-HEAD TAX
By NINA WILCOX PUTNAM
RIGHT now the government seems
to be taxing everything, includ-
In? our patience.
There once was a day when,
IX you beard the word "tax," you
thought of a small box full of little
demi-tasse nails which bit you when
you tried to pull one out to mend the
.window shade.
Now when anyone asks If you have
some tacks In the house, you rush
for the desk drawer and pull out a
handful of final notices.
Of course, these only represent the
sort f taxes which come to visit you
'in the home, and range in size from
the big, burly Federal Income Tax
; Return counterpnin, down to the little
Itsy-bitsy two-dollar poll-tax. Just
why I should ever receive the latrer,
I have never understood. Poll-tax In
deed, when I've never even priced a
; parrot, much less kept one.
; I pay my dog tax, though. They
call It a license, of course, but It's a
tax on ray pocketbook no matter what
Itbey call it I suppose the tax on
, shoes Is the real dog rax . . .oh
.well, that one is at least my own,
'poor thing!
! The first fast one the government
pot over on us in a big way, was
jtbat intelligence test, the Income tax,
and what a crossword puzzle that
turned out to be I At first It wasn't so
popular, but now the fifteenth of
March has become the fixed date for
;tbe annual Munchausen contest, and
; everybody goes at It In a spirit of
icatch-as-catch-ean and rather likes It.
They say "it's fun to be fooled" hut
it's ven more fun trying ro fool the
'Collector of Eternul Uevenue.
The states, many of them being a
'lot of old copy-cnts, got out a second
.cV.ilon of the above mentioned. The
State Income Tax may be a state affair
ibut It 1s also that In the plural a
, state of affairs: nnd If you don't
believe me. Just wait until you have
ito pay yours this year I
, The whole country is now like mld
itown New York at midday: taxis,
i taxis everywhere and you can't make
!a move In any direction without run
'nlng Into 'em.
Of course the gas tnx Is a good
thing In a way because it keeps a
lot of people In their homes. But It's
i a shame It don't apply on the floor of
the house of representatives.
While as for this sales tnx they have
, got In a few states such as California
and New York, well, It's funny how
people are. When the government al
lowed that 2 per cent beer win
legal, the folks kicked becuuse It
wasn't strong enough. Hut a 2 per
cent sales tax Is so strong they claim It
knocks 'em for a headache. Oil well,
it takes all kinds of people to iwiWu
a world and then what have you got?
The beauty who Is getting all the at
tention Just now Is the Inheritance
tax. Around where I live, they call
It the New Inheritance Tax. Well, I
,mu8t say that yeurs ago, nil I In
herited from my Uncle Hill wns n lot
of taxes, so if they think Inheritance
taxes are something new. they are
goofy 1 I admit there was .1 farm at
tachedquite heavily attached to the
taxes Uncle left me, but it was so
well snowed under that by the time
I dug ore the hist line I had to slap It
back again to keep the roof from cav
ing In from age. If the Inheritance
tax goes far enough, we won't even be
sure of our own tombstones.
Ah well, taxes never come single In
i spite of all Henry Ceorge said. The
only people they really help are the
newspaper cartoonists. With the rest
!of the population they have given rise
to a lot of prejudice. Why, my broth
'er, for Instance, don't like to be
i known as a taxi-driver, because he's
! afraid people will think he's a revenue
nan.
J Km f am not narrow-minded or
Unpatriotic about this tax business.
I realize the poor starving politicians
cannot be allowed to go on home re
lief. Probably their homes would
have no sense of relief at all If they
stayed home all day. Also I am per
fectly well aware that the office hold
ers have a short season of it, even
four years Isn't much, so naturally
they have to provide for their lean
years while they can, or some day
they might have to go to work.
I know, too, that the Government Ma
chinery has to be supported although
why It cant come down to earth In
stead, Is beyond me. Oh heck, what
I mean Is, I know that tuxes are nec
essary for the Public Weal. Or maybe
It's the Public Venl you know, kill
ing the fat-hend calf. Aw, pepper
mints; TO quit trying to be high
hat about 1t nnd admit that all I know
Is you've got to pay 'em or else
So as long as taxes have got to be
paid, why not muke them popular?
Nobody minds giving up their dough
for something which gives them a
thrlM--why, they will even give up
other ieople's dough for that. So In
say simple feminine fashion, I propose
that we quit taxing necessary things
and tax according to what Is known as
tae Putnam Plan.
To begin with, this plan would take
the tax off of theater tickets and pur
It on to wives who take singing les
sons at home. Don't cheer, boys, this
wont stop them.
The plan says further that there
shall be a tax on every spectator at
all sensational divorce or murder
trials.
All malicious gossip shall be taxed
at a rate of 20 per cent of the net
Income of the gosslper. And a tnx
of 5 per cent of the gross Income
of the gossipee.
All smoking room stories over one
year old shall be taxed at the rate of
50 cents per repetition. With a tax
collector stationed nt every cocktill
party this source alone should bring
the treasury ample funds with which
to finance all of the President's ap
propriations and leave enough over for
a bromo seltzer.
Practical Jokes shall be taxed on a
sliding scale. That gives me an Idea!
Can you Just picture a fat woman
stepping onto a sliding scale? Huh!
So you won't laugh, eh? Oh well, what
do I care? Hut this Is a rich Idea,
this taxing practical Jukes. And what
I really started out to say was, ths
Jokes would be taxed In proportion to
their cleverness and originality. The
dumber the Joke the higher the tax.
Joe Cook, for Instance, would get off
practically free.
The list of properly taxable things
could go on practically endlessly, be
ginning with visits from mothers-in-law
and ending with buttered parsnips, nnd
such a tax list, far from making Mr.
Taxpayer, the Forgotten Man and Mr.
Average Citizen feel even more gloomy
than they look from their pictures In
the papers well, far from making
them feel oppressed. It would have
them practically laughing out loud.
Nobody could object to seeing a guy
pay a tax on a stale egg, or shell out
ten bucks to the government for hav
ing said "Olive Oil" or "Abyssinia"
as farewell to a pal. ,
In fact, this Perfect Putnam Plan
If carried out properly, might even
result In the happy populace digging
up the tax money for their taxed
brethren voluntarily, with song and
dance, Instead of giving the govern
ment a song and dance about not being
able to pay at all, the way a lot of
them do now.
But all this depends on my plan be
ing carried out, and I don't mean feet
first, either.
