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.

Mrs. R. R. Dickson has been

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

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^
