DECEMBER 13, 1934 FOR A SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON The Holiday Season is designed to bring joy and happiness?but it likewise fcring3 with it a vast amount of preventable misery, because of the accident toll. The eravitv of the prob lem is magnified by the fact that I a large percentage of Holiday acci- j dents involve children. Hundreds of them are killed and thousands are needlessly injured every December. Here are a few rules, issued by the National Safety Council, to help r pass a safe and happy Christmas Sea- ! son: Don't permit children to p!av in j the streets?the old practice of hitch- j ing sleds to automobiles is especially j hazardous. Be extremely cautious in the mat- j ter of ice-skating- ice must be at least four inches thick before it can . be trusted to sustain a large group. Winter brings special automobile hazards, such as ice arid snow, poor; visibility and soft highway shoulders. j Remember them and drive accord- i ingly. Don't use candles on your Christ - :' mas Tree don't put it near a stove- | dont' use inflammable trimmings?[ don't permit it to dry out in the / house after Christmas?don't fail to j anchor it firmly? don't use light j bulbs of greater strength than one1 firefly candlepower. These little hints are simple enough ' -there's nothing but common sense | behind them and they will cost noth ing, in either time or money, to fol- j low. And they may be the means of I saving the lives of loved ones. o TAXES?THEN MORE TAXES The purchaser of a loaf of bread, according to the National Investment! Transcript, pays 17 kinds of taxes j when he lays his dime on tlln rvMin- I ter of the grocery store. | If he walks home on leaving the' store, he is wearing out shoes which are taxed 23 times. If he rides in an automobile, he is paying 42 different kinds of taxes. If he takes a subway or an electric car, the total number of visible taxes which are part of the cost of his fare runs to about 5S. 1 All of these taxes .obviously, arc1 indirect- and very few of us know I that we pay them. As the Transcript ] says, "Tax ignorance is the crown- j ing element in mass ignorance toS?

QUALITY JBWEIRY BOON1 A I i day " Moat of us pay few or no taxes n ! directly?and we think because of is j that we are contributing- nothing to g the coat of Government. w There is not a thing in the world i; that isn't taxed. The house we live 11! in represents a legion of taxes?run- o ning all the way from taxes on standing timber to taxes paid by the stole ri which so'.d the finishing paint and tl the manufacturers which produced it. b Food, clothing, trynsportati'i,i. enter- f taimnent, periodicals. books?the tax bill is a substantial item in their cost i to the consumer. .< It is obvious that these indirect h i taxes -which provide the bulk of gov. f lernmenta! revenue?fail more heavily i; j on persons of moderate means than i b ' on those with higher incomes. A loaf s i of bread wii! last a millionaire as ]| ;long as :t will a laborer?and the h tax is the same on the loaf each buys. Tax reduction would he the great- il est boon the average American could n have?a lioon that would at once be S reflected in more jobs, more purchas- v nig power, more spending for the ji necessities and luxuries which keep the industrial machine turning.
