Christmas This Year
Christmas this year will be one of many golden
opportunities.
It will be unlike most we have seen in the jast,
when, we could find opportunities to bestow our gifts
on those who did not need them, and they coultUp
turn gifts of greater beauty and greater value. Now
conditions have changed, and we can find a neighbor
who is in need, when the simplest gift will restore
warmth 'and ap|>ease hunger—Christmas gifts that
will bring real joy and happiness to both the-giver
and the receiver.
While we have jingling bells and tooling horns as
the heralds of Christmas, and though we may not
be able to kindle the spirit'in such manner this year,
yet there are opportunities at our own doors to make
this the best Christmas in our generation, and we
should take, advantage of them.
Co Back To Our Principles
Congres has been in session for more than a week,
and neither party has formulated any plan yet. The
Democrats held a caucus Tuesday trying to outline,
some policy.
With this long depression prevailing, there is no
earthly reason why somebody has not done a little
statesmanlike thinking for the public good. Now it is
a war of politics. They have got to bow to gold,
salute bondholders, and kneel before the liquor shrine.
What we need is to get back to principles and stand
for them.

Increasing Income Taxes
More income tax, as advocated by President Hoover,
is perhaps the fairest means of raising the necessary
revenue to support the government.
The Hoover recommendation is td lower the basis,
so that more people will pay income taxes. As it now
is, the salaried man who gets $3,500, if married, pays
no tax; if unmarried and gets a salary of $1,500 or
less, he pays no tax. These are fabulous sums these
days to escape taxation.
The married man who gets as much as $2,000 and
the single man who gets SI,OOO, are certainly able to
pay a little tax, especially at a time when the farmer,
the merchant, and most other people are getting much
less than a living.
The just and fair thing is to tax smaller incomes
and graduate the rate higher and higher as the in
come increases, not only on the salary but on. other
incomes as well.
If Congress would reestablish the war-time income
tax rates, it would get the money and the big incomes
would have to pay it. And why should they not
pay it?
Perhaps Mr. Hoover would balk on the high rate
for big incomes, however, as it would cut into big
business.
Why Sell Peanuts Now?
Farmers, why sell your peanuts at present prices
when you can't pay anything you owe or buy anything
you want with the proceeds?
Vet there are a few farmers who are selling their
seed peanus to get money to buy cigarettes and go to
the show. There are too many people yet who don't
seem to understand that hard times have come.
Oh, For the Negro's Viewpoint
——
When God made the negro, He brought into exist
ence one of the most remarkable beings that ever has
walked on this earth.
What a great thing it would be if the white folks
could take the negro's viewpoint and attitude with
respect to trials and tribulations!
Winter is upon us, and everybody is hard up.
Money is scarce and a whole lot of people are'going
to have to skimp along as best they can with insuf
ficient food and clothing. Many negroes haven't
enough money to last them through the week. Their
homes are wretched places, insufficiently warm .to
keep th inmates comfortable.
But do you hear them grumble? Do you hear any
complaints from that branch of our citizenship? Do
you see any long faces and dour countenances out in
the colored section of the town?
Not a bit of it. The colored folks are just as happy
as they ever were during times of plenty and pros
l>erity. Somehow or other, they have learned the
knack of doing the best they can and refraining from
worry over things that can't be helped. They do the
Ix'st they can, and let it go at that.
It's a great thing to be able to live like that.—Wuh
ingon Progress.
