VUVII / One of the chief reasons for a fifteen billion dollar a year crime bill is that' many parents do not reallxo that they themselves are developing disobedience and dishonesty In their children. A most common method whereby parents help to instill the roots of dishonesty In a youth is to lie In his presence.

F : ' ; ' DON'T KID YOURSELF In commenting on tin- lielief of many UiuA they 'pay no taxes, the Kansas City Star says: "The compla j cenev of millioiui over taxes would! be sharply upset If u few facts were allowed to sink in." The Star then takes a survey of "Indirect taxes" made by a large life insurance company and shows what the man who thinks he '"pays ho taxes." actually pays iu. taxes each year. Out of the $<160 annual iii?mia an $80 a month worker receives. he pays $10.20 a mouth, or $122.48 a year, in indirect taxes that have tc be added tci the cost of n?>cessltiei he buy* such as food, rent, cloth inn fuel, light; recreation; insuranoand dozens of other things ? uboui 13 l>eroem or nis income m mis oasv And the tax total increases as he earns more.

A $38,000,000,000 Threat Br RAYMOND PITCAIRN : Many noted commentators on public affairs have observed in the outcome of the recent elections a significant fact." __ l as .Aau muv/ iMTC OCVII an U1C BlUlUQe CX pressed at the polls impress ire evidence that the American people are determined to halt the mounting toll of extravagance and public debt charged against the workers' earnings and savings during the past few years.' This is a natural and logical conclusion. So serious, in tact, has the threat become that today the federal debt alone amounts to 538,000.000.000?an average of 5300 charged against every man, woman and child in the country; 51200 against every family. Nor is that all. In addition to the federal debt, the politicians have piled up staic and local debts amounting to 519,000.000,000 more ? making a total public debt of about 557.000.000,000. an average of approximately 51800 per family. And that doesn't include the Interest! Who is going to pay those bills? The answer is obvious. Not the politicians who ran them up, but the people?from the fruits of whose labor all public money is collected! Taxes, as everyone knows, constitute the source of government funds ? and all taxes, whether pr.'.d directly or indirectly, must come out of the earnings and savings of the people. Today the people have shown that they realise this fret. They have demonstrated that they want the politicians to reattle It too. And If their demands are heeded?If the new Congress accepts its responsibility to put the Interests of constituents and nation above those of party and faction?America can look forward with revived hope to the progress and recovery which her rich natural resources, till ill* intallieenra astj eneasi.

"Don't tell me you're in love with that Scotchman!" exclaimed Richard. '"low could I be? He hain't any money." When the train came along, the four Carletons scrambled aboard, not noticing what other passengers got on, and not caring much. In their second-class compartment, the family got hungrier and hungrier, as the kilometers clicked away. "Insolent fellow, that restaurant chap," complained the Sahib. "Refused me three meals In one day." Qeosge Anne, walking along the corridor, noticed a sweet-faced old lady who smiled at her and invited her into the compartment. "It's lonely at night.

Their luck didn't end with the dinner. Miss Fortune explained to . them she had recently come Into enough money to allow her to do anything she really wanted. They listened with larceny in their eyes, but even as they listened, the train jumped the track. When the shock of the derailment was over, Richard saw Miss Fortune stretched out, peacefully relaxed.
