We are fighting a war of liberation— from oppression of all kinds. In golf the lie of the ball is sometimes less spa than the lie of the player. That Kansas hen evidently violated her code when she laid four eggs in one | day. Then there was the fellow who fear- ed the hoarding law and traded his gold- fish for a cat. Signing goat code and trusting to luck is probably better than going crazy trying to understand it. The victim of kidnaping may be three . Score and ten and still the “snatching” is called kidnaping.

TAXES BU Tg BE + The time has arrived when the people —laboring man and capitalist—feel |the pinch of taxation with equal force. Take the specific case of the man with $10,-! 000 invested, the widow with $100 invest- | éd, or the laboring man with a job, in-the Pacific Gas and Electric Company of San Francisco. This company had its taxes raised by | the last California legislature, $1,150,000. | Congress placed a 3 percent tax on the pro- duction of electricity used for domestic and commercial] purposes, which added another emis a year, to another $200,000. On top of this Con- gress placed a tax of 5 percent on all divi- dends to stockholders, which meant an- other million, and ordered the company to deduct the 5 percent before sending out | ‘dividend checks. Leaving out the $1,- 900,000 to be collected from the stockhold- ers, this company’s total tax bill for a year will now exceed $10,000,000. Compare this sum with the wages and salaries paid by the company for 1933, For each $1.50 paid in wages, the company must pay $1 to tax collectors—state, federal and municipal. What becomes of savings, and earn- ings on the same, for thousands of stock- holders who have worked and slaved to accumulate a few dollars-to put into indus- try for additional jobs for thousands of { laboring men, clerks, and other employes ef a company that has to pay out.a dollar in taxes for each dollar and .one-half of wages and salaries? Another five or ten years of propor- tionate tax increases and there will be no money for jobs. Think’ it. over. private company with taxation, who will furnish the revenue for government, which the tax-exempt government-owned enter- prize now vtech CASHING IN ON VICE Somehow we'never could quite follow | the idea that a supposedly reformed crook ‘was the ideal character for soul-saving activities, but many seem to think other- wise. In a recent issue of a Montgomery, Ala., newspaper is an account of the for- mer career of an evangelist, one Rev. Per- cente, whose principal stock in trade seems to be his unsavory past record. The ar- ticle, doubtless inspired by the reverend gentleman himself, gives a shameless and rather boastful narrative of his former sins. It declared that he has been a saloon keeper, a prize fighter, a bootlegger, and the operator of a gambling house. After completing a penitentiary sentence for violating the prohibition laws, he got re- ligion and entered the ministry.” Now if the gentleman’s reformation is real and sincere, his past record should not be held against him. But why should he drag that record’into print? The only reasonable answer is that he is trying to surround himself with a» cheap glamor, inj order to attract the attention of the moron element which delights in glorifying past and present criminals, EAT AND ‘REDUCE It isn’t necessary to starve one’s self in order to reduce weight, declares Dr. Keny a leading woman specialist . of New ork, who prescribes a liberal diet for her too heavy patients. This is her recom- mendation for the day's meals: For breakfast, a serving of fruit, one egg plus the white of another egg, coffee For lunch, a large serving of lean meat, fish or fowl may be taken, or a small helping of either with a glass of buttermilk or skimmed milk, also any vegetable that grows above the For dinner a liberal portion of lean meat again may be taken with vege- tables and fruit, but no bread, using a bread substitute if desired.
