If the people of a town or community would know where they stand they could get a pretty good idea from a rating plan advanced bv Town Journal of Washington, D. C. The Journal lists forty questions, the j answers to which will give a fairly good rat ’ ing of our community. Possibly some of the questions are out of order, and others could be asked along with the forty, but let’s use the forty and see where our little - i community rates. , | The Journal explains that no question naire is foolproof and adds that il thirty or more of the questions can be answered “ves” then the chances are it is a good town, j 1.

And it is supposed to be very funny to joke about th< subject in a bewailing sort of way. I don't find a joke about taxes at all hum orous I just don’t happen to think we should joke about something that should be taken seriously. No, I don t like a curtail ed income better than anyone else but. somehow, reading the great mass of repo-w of conditions throughout the world that come to my desk each day. has made me see this matter of taxes in a different light. Taxes are one of the few ways in which every citizen can participate in the govern ; ment. Taxes are a contribution every free born man and woman can make to the freedom | which has given him and her an opportunity | to earn a living. 'TWfw., me an insurance against slavery. : They keep the brutal heel ol a conqueror from pressing against the neck of any man or woman in this country. Taxes are a tangible expression of our | faith in the democratic processes, in equal justice for ail before the law. in the way of life which is evolving for the first time on earth, equal opportunity for every man and woman according to+iis or her talents. Taxes are every citizen’s obligation laid, j as fairlv as possible upon every person able 1 and willing to earn his way. Tax-shirking and tax dodging aren't American. Jt is like i cheating yourself—because you, too, are American. j Taxes are the price of liberty. To pay ; taxes is a privilege, not a penalty. It is a proof of fitness. You should take pride in vour abilitv to earn enough to pay a man s sized tax Slaves do no1 pay taxes. Only free men pay them. That is how I feel. And I don’t think I am ! different from anyone else. Let s not take* this tax-paying lightly. Let us instead think of the suffering, starving people all over the world—and be glad we have the ■ privilege and the opportunity of paying our | own way. Our Ouvur I urlu Sum \ Warrensburg (Mo.) Daily Star-Journal Is a woman’s handbag a luxury? Wash ; mgton regards it is such, adding 20 percent j to the regular price. If a bag it a luvury, I so are a man’s pockets. The Bureau of In : ternal Revenue has disregarded this point. More than one candidate for Congress is running on a promise, d elected, to exclude | handbags from the luxurv tax. The sarrle 20 percent penalty applies to cosmetics and baby supplies. Any woman will tell you that looking her best is not a luxury but a necessity. And any man will be apt to agree. If baby supplies are a lux urv. so are babies. Evidently Uncle Sam is not a family man. He dot a out seem to recognize tin- facts of | family life. The man who makes no mistakes usually makes nothing else.—Phelps. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT: “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.A. Huxley. Fresh from the back s,: try, the youngster at the re cruiting officer’s desk \\ being questioned. He didn't know what his birth date was, but he knew tie was 32 years old. "How do vou know that?" he was asked. “When I was six year old." lie explained. "Maw told me to add a year at each plowin’, an’ I done so ever since " "Yes.” said the officer, "but did you add tfiat vesr-a-rt-hv . "Dog-gone it!’’ exclaimed the recruit, "That explains it. I thought I was gcttin’ old too fast!” * * * * Years ago, the “letting" of blood was con sidered to be proper Later it was learned, that George Washington died because the doctors “let” his blood. The fact existed that Washington needed more blood, not less. That this was not known, did not change the fact. Many things which we once thought to be facts, we know to be untrue, today. De veloping man must keep his nnnd open to discover facts and truths. Whim we consid er all the evidence of man’s mistaken “facts” it is saddening to find so many minds closed. Are vo" ceitain that your mind is open? i fek.
