Plan To Use Highway 281 As A Military Road According to the daily press, representatives of the government are insisting that the first high ways to be improved with hard surfacing in the state, with the as sistance of federal money, are to he those that will be available for use in case of military movement of troops. Among the roads listed for im provement for this purpose is 281 from Grand Island north to Butte, Nebr., thence west thru Colome, S. D. If this program is put thru there is liable to be a lot of activ ity on the highway south from here this season and the next. Towns along highway 81 are up in arms at the proposal to take government assistance and travel from that highway and transfer it westward to No. 281, and they are uniting in an effort to have the im provements made on the first named road, several meetings al ready having been held in towns along that highway. If the citizens in the towns along highway 281 desire to see the per manent improvement of this high way now is the time to get busy. If the government officials desire to have this road improved for the purpose'of using it as a military road it should not take a great deal of work. The highway now is in good condition, graveled all the way south, altho our friends along the other highway insist it is not improved. It might be a good idea for the people of O’Neill and other towns along the highway to get busy.

BRIEFLY STATED Several of the little folks around town are suffering with the measles. Father F. J. Werthmen, of Butte, was in the city this morning visit ing friends. Mrs. P. J. O’Donnell came up from Randolph last Tuesday even ing for a few days visit with rela tives and friends here. W. J. Froelich came out from Chicago last Saturday to spend the week end with his family, return ing to Chicago Monday. J. P.

Mrs. R. R. Dickson has been quite ill the past week, but her many friends will be glad to learn that she is feeling much better this morning. Mr. and Mrs. John Walmer, of Orchard, celebrated their fortieth wedding anniversary last Sunday with a family dinner at their home. Mr. and Mrs. W’almer were mar ried in this city on May 12, 1895, and made this city their home for several years. They have been residents of Orchard for the past twenty years. John Vitt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Vitt, is building a new house and barn on his place a mile west and a mile and a half south of the home of his parents, southeast of this city. The house will be 16x28 a story and a half high and the barn 20x36. The barn is now com pleted and a force of a half a doz en men are worknig on the house, which will be completed within a few days. Edward Adams, the Chambers banker, was a pleasant caller at this office today and extended his subscription to The Frontier up to 1936. Mr. Adams has been a resid ent of Holt county since the spring of 1885, fifty years ago this spring, and he has been a reader of The Frontier for fifty years, or will be this fall. He says that he has re ceived the paper so regularly for so many years that he thinks that it would be impossible now to get along without its weekly visits. Economic Highlights The average citizen has a vague knowledge of the fact that the Federal government is levying pro cessing taxes on farm commodities in order to produce the wherewith al for pursuing the Agricultural Adjustment program. What he doesn’t know is that these taxes are now one of the largest revenue producers the government has— and that a bitter war is slowly getting underway between the friends and opponents of the tax. During the past 21 months, in come taxes brought $760,000,000 into the Federal till. Processing taxes brought in $702,000,000. And, whether the tax is good or evil, it is an undenied fact that every cent of that three-quarter billion came from the pocketbooks of American housewives. In theory, of course, the tax falls upon the food middle men of the nation—the producers of smoked meat, the handlers of sugar, the bakers, tl\e cigarette manufacturers. In actual practice, the cost of the tax is simply added to the selling price of the product. Example: On April 1, 1933, Mrs. America paid, on the average, 6.4 cents for a pound loaf of bread. In 1934, she paid 7.9 cents and to day she is paying 8.3 cents. Not all of the increase can be laid to the processing tax on wheat, but a substantial part of it can. Two hundred million dollars of th»' $792,000,006 the processing tax has raised, according to the U. S. News, came from hogs. Two hun dred million more came from cot ton. A little less came from wheat. The remainder came from sugar, corn, tobacco, rice and peanuts. Of the $792,000,000, $700,000, 000 has been paid to the farmer. It is paid to him in fulfillment of a contract, not to produce more or better food, but to produce less. He gets so much an acre for not producing cotton, so much for not raising hogs. A great many people think it not only unwise, but ac tually criminal, for the government to pay out good money to “bribe" producers to cut down their pro duction. This group is now engag ing with the group which says that non-production is essential in order to raise the prices of farm products to a profitable level. That debate is largely theoretic al. But there is much warfare to be anticipated over purely prac tical issues. For instance, in the past much of the American cotton production has gone into export trade. But, as processing taxes are added to the cost of cotton, prices must rise, and foreign buy ers don’t like that. Production abroad is stepped up, as other na tions seek sources of cheaper cot ton. The result is that farmers find that, while prices are better, they are unable to sell—and they begin to doubt the wisdom of the tax. Housewives discover that the tax forces up the price of bread and pork chops, amounts to a sales tax on the basic necessity of life, food. The result of that is a gathering of consumers, bent on eliminating the tax. Even hog farmers, who are gen erally supposed to be among the greatest beneficiai-ies of the tax, are dubious. They think that pork processors are cutting down the price they pay for livestock in order to compensate for the tax, and so are taking it out of the farmer instead of the consumer and middleman. All of this is felt back in Wash ington, where Senators and Repre sentatives keep their ears to the ground. Result is a growing feel ing on the part of many Congress men that the tax should be repeal ed. Some of them are beginning to talk about it—others will line up behind them when the future of the tax comes up for Congression al consideration. In a recent article, able Walter Lippman pointed to a strange an omoly. He said that business is getting better, almost all lines are up, and some are at their best level since depression began—but J that confidence on the part of busi- ■ • ness men is conspicious by its ab sence. Cash registers tinkle, but industrial leaders still refuse to show much optimism. The reason for that, according to Mr. Lippman is two fold. First, the New Deal program is running in circles, and no one knows what is going to happen next. Business men are afraid of new and strange legislation, that will wipe out the gains made. Second, the Administration is de liberately incurring the largest government deficit in history, with out showing how or when it will be met. That creates a fear of ex cessive taxes that will make busi ness progress and profits impos sible. Mr. Lippman, who is certainly not an enemy of the New Deal, and is the first to praise its achieve ments, thinks that the Administra tion should immediately settle the doubts as to the future of legisla tion and the deficit. Business says a fervent “Amen” to that. If Mussolini and the king of Ab ysinia could settle their difficulties with a dice game there isn’t much question as to who would win. After all, Adolph Hitler seems to be the only real genuine dictator in the world. All the rest of the so-called dictators are married. Uncle Sam and the Russions have agreed to disagree. j^ BIG SPECIAL For Six Days ONLY h May 16-17-18-1V-2U-21 fi we will take large size | Stamp Photos for 25c a J dozen, two positions.
