*2, 000, 000 WORTH OP DESTRUCTION
Acico^ding to an article by James McMuliin in the
Syracuse Herald Journal, "More damage was done dur
ing the recent New York milk strike than any previous
milk strike in history. Insiders estimate that more than
$2,000,000 worth of milk was destroyed, to say nothing
of the destruction of trucks, farm property, milk plant
equipment, etc."
Needless to say, the strike didn't succeed. Many
honest farmers joined in the strike at the beginning, -only
to disassociate themselves once the leaders adapted their
terrorization tactics. The average farmer has a sensible
head on his shoulders ? and he knows full well no per
manent good can come from violence.
The strike was thoroughly opposed by the bulk of
farmers, and by the leading farmer-owned, fanner-con
trolled marketing cooperatives. The forces of decency
and law and order apparently were the victors.

THINGS ONE REMEMBERS
1 recently saw a little folder a bank was Bending to
its customers, entitled "How Will Taxes Affect Your
Estate?",, It pointed out how the growth of taxation
in recent years will very materially affect persons who
have tried to build substantial income and property hol
dings. The figures given will come as a shock to the
average person.
It is sufficiently difficult to operate a business, even a
small one, and try Jo meet all the taxes and regulations
one faces today, but now it appears it is even more cost
ly and complicated to die than it is to live.
The folder referred to was issued by an Oregon bank
and relates to individual income, estate and gift taxes
in Oregon, and .their growth since 1913.
Federal income taxes, none until 1913. Rates today
up to 79 per cent.
Federal estate taxes, none until 1916. Rates today up
to 70 per cent.
Oregon state income taxes, none until 1923. Rates' to
day up to 8 per cent.
Oregon state inheritance taxes, none until 1903. Rates
today up to 25 per cent.
Federal gift taxes, none until 1924. Rates today up
to 52^ per cent.
Oregon gift taxes, none until 1933. Hates today up
to 25 per cent.
It is taxation such as this that slowly but surely dis
courages thrift and investment. E\len if you only han
dle a pick and shovel, don't think you escape such a tax
policy, for the man who might ordinarily be able to hire
you, may be paying taxes with his surplus earnings
which would otherwise have gone into productive ac
tivity to furnish employment. ? Selected.

LOCK THE VAULTS AGAINST POLITICS
Addressing the recent convention of the American
Bankers Association at Seattle, H. Donald Campbell,
president of the Chase National Bank of New York, said:
"May I reiterate my faith in the future of banking for
both small and large institutions! There will be hard
ships and difficulties to overcome. There will be in
flationary dangers ahead of us. The way will not be
easy. Yet I have confidence in the present generation of
bankers to solve future problems. The fact is that the
American banker, more than ever before, fully appreci
ates his responsibility to depositors and to the general
public.
"It seems to me that the functions performed by the
American banking system are of such paramount im
portance to the economic welfare of the country that they
have to be continued. If there are no banks to do the
work, someone else must do it. And that someone else
is obviously tli vernment itself.
"Here is the native: either a banking system with
14,000 outletB through which commercial credit is ad
ministered by the friends and neighbors of the borrower,
or a centralized banking system operated according to
rules and regulations prescribed in Washington and in
terpreted by employes of the central authority ....
"Putting it very simply, the question is whether the
American people want commercial credit administered
by themselves, their friends and their neighbors, or whe
ther they want it administered by political appointees."
Once the people give the politicians the power to do
what they like with the public's money, they'll have
given them enough rope to hang the country. Under
our private banking system, every conceivable safeguard
lias been erected for protection of depositor and borrow
er. The banker is literally a public servant. And all
you need to do to realize how well the system has worked
is to look at America. Its homes, its businesses, its in
dustries are largely the product of progressive private
banking.
Politics must be kept out of banking. The lustful hand
of officialism and bureaucracy must be prevented from
gathering in the people's money. Government banking
would be a long step down the road to dictatorship and
totalitarianism. ?? . ... . .

Sunday was a great day at the
Baptist Church where Family

the dreary, cold day the church
was filled. Families gave evidence
of their interest in the Church

and the home.
The service was simple and
beautiful. No sermon was prea

on the family and the home as
mothers brought forward their
children to be dedicated.
