Jimr Id. 1**11. v Economy II lifir It Should Hi- 4[tfilieil There's the eld saying in taxation, "gpt the money where the money is." It is an undeniable fact that the man of small means pays a great er proportion of the tax than the man of great er means, and the poorer the man. the greater proportion of the taxes he has had to pay And now there is a loud cry for economy There are those who would wipe out the WPA. the FSA. the farm program and everything else that has been designed to help that call of Americans who are m the greatest need includ ing labor The shouters for economy have cause to shout, but they are shouting up the wrong tree. Authentic reports declare that the Unit ed States Army wasted at least $250,000,000 of its $800,000,000 cantonment construction pro gram just by letting those questionable cost plus contracts instead of calling for competi tive bidding The government paid 29 million dollars for construction of a camp that should not have cost a cent over 19 million dollars The same crowd yelling for economy and who demands that the farmer be returned to economic slavery, is the same crowd that is yelling about labor prices Coming from the United States House of Representatives a few days ago, and it should be authentic, was the surprising news that where the highest wage scale prevailed, the total cost of the camp was the lowest Not so many months ago we were told that if the national debt went just two dollars high er we would be ruined The debt has been in creased by two dollars and by several billions more. The increase was approved by the econ omy shouters because they realized their hides were at stake We are for economy just as we are for the principle of getting money where the monev is. but this business of burdening the poor with an unfair proportion of the tax load and then turning to the poor to practice economy, we are against it. And strange as it may seem, the cries for economy in farm programs, wages, relief and other agencies designed in the name of needy humanity are coming mainly from those de fense centers where the growlers are waxing rich directly and indirectly by the expenditure of millions upon millions upon enlarged air bases, army eamps, navy yards and so on. One-half of this nation, if not more, will glad ly sacrifice in the name of national defense. It will accept its fair share of the tax burden, and will suffer without murmur the after-effects of this war and whatever hardships that are al most certain to plague the nation in the future. But that half is not to be expected to suffer the load alone Economy must be applied in the high places as well as in the low And it can be truthfully said that until the entrepreneur, the high-salaried, the man far removed from the sweat and toil of a cruel world and all oth ers are willing to accept pay at the rate of 85 per cent of his living cost just as the farmer is being asked to labor from the rise of the morn ing sun until the setting of tin' sun and gamble his all. including the necessities lor self and family, for only a loan of 85 per cent of the cost. It is true that labor has greater freedom in tins country than in Germany, it is also true that business men and all other classes have a greater freedom in America than Germany of lers. and it can be added that the freedom en joyed here by most classes is many times great ci than that enjoyed by the farmer and the common laborer ll is to be admitted that there is racketeering m labor ranks. It is also true that there is rack eteering m high financial circles, railroads and even in the places where democratic govern ment reigns. It would seem that we would overlook the racketeering in the Army's cost-plus contracts, in tin nation's high financial structures and in other places high and low We would condemn racketeering among the lower group who in their eagerness to gain for themselves and par ily__Uirough ignorance and misguided advice follow the pendulum to the extreme Balance the tax burden and balance the application of economy, and tehrc'll be no complaint heard in the farmer's or worker's quarter. And those who would tux the poor more and who would apply the economy stick to those at the bottom of the economic ladder are doing little more in shouting for economy than creating disun ite and disgust among the peoples of this na tion Milk I rum I IIf Machine Shu/i Christian Science Monitor. Tticy were Americans daily engaged in mak ing tools for defense and destruction. But they bad a thought for children, too. Their Govern ment was sending to Britain cheese, flour, and eggs, they themselves were sending tools. And they paused to act with tile warmth of individ uals. Last week-end, sandwiched in among tons of food and tools on America's first food ship to Britain, was a small package A note attach ed said: Employees of the Jones Machine Tool Works in Cincinnati send this box to employees where this machine is sent. The milk is intended for your children and has been sent without the knowledge of the purchasers of these tools or any agent connected with the same. The givers were not separate from their gifts They took time to remember: "milk in tended for your children.'' How heartening is tins unofficial supplement to official aid to Britain.

M. UNTIL 6 P. M. "BUNDLES FOR BRITAIN" Recapitulation By REV. JOHN L. GOFF Pastor Christian Church Last week we dealt with the idea i of commencement, both as it relates j to young people graduating from college and secondary schools and that of beginning Christians. Today, may we think of it in.similar terms. The young graduate in seeking employment must show something of qualification. His intellectual fit- i ness, moral character and physical j health He or she may be entering a new field for which no previous ex- ! perience in training or occupational j pursuit has fitted him or her, ex cept the essential base of industry, | courage and personality. They more or less have to learn by doing. The individual who has become a Christian is also one who has had; no previous experience in the fine art of Christian living, though he or she may have been living in a most wholesome environment and have been taught many things about right living or he or she may have seen the bungling in living by some )6ar ents or friends who were supposed to be Christians. The new Christians or for that matter, a Christian at any period in. his or her life, must depend upon his own resources and that infallible i leadership furnished by the Divine . Leader, Jesus Christ. The new i Christian begins by re-evaluating his ? or her assets or liabilities. If wise, i as one who is learning, say. the ma < chinist trade, he or she will learn ' ; first of all the tools of the trade, and i the service of each. He or she will i begin with what he knows, his or her own character and fine courage. This survey will reveal the liabilities; , such as, lack of knowledge concern ing the nature and the slowness with which one catches on. The new Christian begins by study ing the manual or handbook \yl,uch gives illustrations of the tools and, its uses. In this case he or she begins lot only to read but study the Scrip ures. for they are able "to make one wise unto salvation." Here is dis played the reactions of others who lave been learning the tools and heir uses. Fur instances, there is the ool of prayer. The new and old Christian begins to use this tool for nmself and in thp interest of oth ers The more often this tool is used he more delight and profit is de lved from its use Then there is the ool of service. Too often the tempta .ion cvmes to be served rather than icrve. This service can take many directions. There may be the service hat can be done for the sick, the shut-ins, the crippled, the needy, or witnessing for Jesus among one's friends and associates who are not Christians. The art of using this lat :er, but very important tool, must be x'gun early in the process or else it nay not be thought of as a useful :ool. Again, there is the tool of stew irdship. This tool is many-sided. And iherefore has many uses. The Christ an needs to operate this tool rather than try by proxy. Primarily the Christian should use his time and noney through the channel of the Church, for the Church embraces a world-fellowship of interests. This community of interests enables one's Sifts to extend from the community n which he or she lives to the ends jf the world. lastly, if one is to learn I he most in tin* use of his or her tools as a Christian, he or she should ittend the classroom studies in their ise.v The Church is not only a place where one worships God but it is the place where explanation is made >n the use of the tools of Christian ity, and how to overcome disappoint ment in the use of them. A learner does not absent himself or herself from the instructional periods. No pleasurable pursuits should be per mitted to keep one from this oppor tunity of learning the fine art and points in his or her trade. The Chris tian should therefore be one who not only knows his or her tools, but l)ig;r uses, ? so .Ui#4. ^heir craftsman ship may he of the best.

It will be then that the Christian has a liv ing purpose and prophecy concern I ing life. Life will have , a goal and I deep inner meaning, for one will | know that he or she is committed to ; the cause of God in TTiS world. TJext i week we shall talk about the purpose j of all this. In the words of Wiliiam George Tarrant: My Master was a workman, with daily tasks to do, And he who would be like Him, i Must be a worker, too. !
