THE TAX PKOIJLEM
We believe the greatest problem L
love the Americun people today is lh "
problem of taxation, say*- the Sht'iiu
doah, la., Sentinel J'ost.
Two sane methods of relief ar
open. First discourage new govern
mental fad.- and fancies which add un
necessary laws to out statute booi. _
with increased numbers of «n.p.o,»t
and more government overhead. CTili

taxes eiiually, which it does not do a
present. Under our existing laws any
I erson is at liberty, to convert hit
properly* into non-taxable bonds and
thus escape all lorms oi taxation.
The necesity (if it ever existed) foi
t;t> exempt bond is pa*t and the day
here when iu> such loopliole as ihi.-
hculd remain to enable tho>e ir • 1
,\bit to pay to escape, taxation.
Every dollar thai tax-exempt bo
ibsorb cuts two ways—it doubles ill
*• tax on other and lenioves a d i!;rn
irow industries -which need it i i ex

According to farm demostiatoi
Lulletius the town is threatened hj
boll weevil, red spider and snakes
The bulletin says that red spiders are
usually present, where there are weeds
The atmosphere must have something
to do with their presence; for we have
failed to see any arouiul town.
A CASE OF ENFORCING THE LA>
A few months ago a law was pass
ed forbidding any person, who had nc
• business at the railroad station, stand
* ing nearer than fifteen feet from the
rails. For a few weeks a line war
marked off just before the arrival o
each train, and as long as this wa>
done the law was respected. Gradually
respect for the law became less • aijd
less and now it is ignored altogether
About the same tiiAe that the law was
passed the train officials were re
quested to have the train' pull further
down to the station, this request was
granted and was of great benefit te
passengers. With the law and the
change the difficulty of getting off and
boarding the train was done away
with, but now" its is about as bad a
it ever was, due to the disrespect for
the law passed last March. We do not
believe that this law is disregarded in
tentionally, but disregarded careless
ly. The coming and leaving of t e
! dinkeys of the Coast Line are, re
I doubt, a wonder to behold, and we
like to see them roll in and out our
selves, but why is it that the police
men do not care to see them?
We consider it very had for the
visitors to our town to have to get
off and fight their way through a mob,
as if they were going to a hall gan;c
at the Polo Grounds.'

; LITERALLY DRESSED TO KILL
' Warrior* of Old Were Dandles In
Tsheir Costumes, but Famous
Fighters In the Field.
The Greeks won the bHttle of Mara
thon by h lucky fluke and were du/.ed
at their good fortune, for never be
fore that day had they dared to face
the terrible Persluns, whose noblemen,
formidable warriors, clad themselves
In canury yellow silk trousers, em
broidered with meandering Jade green
vines sprayed with blossoms crimson
-mid blue; their pluk silk Jackets were
adorned with kppllqued lions and
tigers, elephants mid rhinoceroses, os
triches und peacocks of the gayest
lines; the.v cased their throats wltb
triple and quadruple necklace* of gold
IHlgree set with every Jewel known
and their iirins In similar bracelets
and armlets by the dov.en; their
lingers were"loaded with rings; their
turbans blazed with Jeweled aigrettes;
the hilts nnd scabbards of their scimi
tars were encrusted with diamonds,
emeralds and rubles; yet they were
always ready to wade ankle deep in
gore or knee In mud, at uny crisis ef
baltle or match.
The traditions of such fashions
have, In tunny years of the world, lnst
ed almost or even to our days. The
boyars of Muscovy, the princes of
Poland, the magnates of Hungary up
holstered themselves with wadded
coats sewed all over with seed pearls,
such as the famous diamond-encrust
ed heirloom coat of the Ksterhar.y
family, which, according as one tulfc
or the other turns out to be true, was
either sucjjbssfully hidden from Bela
Kun and his communists or treach
erously betrayed to them andliy them

Romano* Gone From Gold Field*.
flold stampedes have lost their ro
mantic trappings. An honest-to-good
ness Htampede after real gold has Just
taken place In Batavla and Kameel
hoom district, South Africa.
There were no slx-guna, such aa
distinguished the mushing for prwlous
metal In the western state# and Aus
tralia. Boots, spurs, liquor, gambling
paraphernalia have gone by the boarda.
None of those once necessary ad
juncts to the proper staking of a
claim remain essential. Stampeders
of 1928 traveled In automobiles and
motorcycles.
Within two hours of the time the
first stake was planted .the Held had
lieen entirely covered. The show was
over and nobody was killed.
The new field Is oonfMently ex
pected to produce gold, hut the leiist
observing can See that It will ne\er
produce a Bret Hiirte.
