\ Farmers ‘Taxed Out of Pants’
That is the effect of New Deal policies, says Myers Y. Cooper, for
mer governor of Ohio, pictured here. The overalls he exhibits bear 44
lags, one for each hidden federal tax borne unknowingly by the farmen
or laborer who buys them. “The Republican party secs that not only
is farm income too low, but farm taxes arc too high,” says Gov. Cooper.
of thse, while salesmen account for

The state labor department has
turned back $20,000 to the general
fund to be used in easing the tax
burden, this amount being saved
from $33,980 appropriated by the
legislature last spring for a state
employment bureau, but not having
been spent in the first year of the
biennium. State Auditor Price
states this sum represents only a
faction of the amount saved to
the taxpayer thru economies during
the past year.
It is stated that the President on
his trip north didn’t find a single
Canadian who objected to Codell
Hull’s reciprocal tariff treaty.
If taxes keep on getting higher
and higher it won’t be long until

everybody will be working for
Uncle Sam.
There is one good thing about
the war in Spain. Up to this time
neither side has approached Uncle
Sam to borrow money.
Everbody is in favor of social
security but the only kind you ever
really enjoy is the security you
earn for yourself.

Mr. Hopkins is going to move

this means into doubtful districts.

Over the County
SOUTHWEST BREEZE^
By Romaine Saunders
Little attention is paid to auto
mobile accidents only as fatal re
sults are reported in carload lots.
A considerable quantity of baled
hay has been hauled )'nom the
Riley ranch to Albion the past ten
days.
It has beei* reported to us that
Mrs. Fred Watson wes recently
taken ill and has been removed to
a hospital at Norfolk.
Fields of corn that a week ago
were still green and promtsing
look like the morning after a No
vember freeze.
There is concern just now as to
whether the election will be deter
mined on a basis of the general
welfare of the country or the indi
vidual pocket-book.
D. L. Withers is one of the busy
citizens since acquiring a new
Dodge truck. A lot of animals
and things are hauled in and out of
the community week by week.
If recent pictures are trust
worthy, Mr. Roosevelt has aged
and wrinkled and grayed 20 years
in the last three. The presidency is
a killing job in no wise enticing
to a disciple of the simple life.
Drawing heavily at the back end
of a cigar, dozing sleepily in an
arm chair, senators left in Wash
ington are the favorite subjects of
the camera men newspapers al
ways keep busy.
The presidential party is not vis
iting Holt county on the drouth in
spection trip. A court house and
postoffice building at O’Neill we
are getting about all that is to be
handed out to one county.
The fire at the Peterson ranch
started from sparks from a
tractor. A strip a mile long, vary
ing in width from a few rods to
three-quarters of a mile over some
of the best meadow land was burn
ed with the stacks.
Fatal automobile accidents are
becoming appallingly numerous, as
if to make a joke of the efforts in
some quarters to reduce accidents
to a minimum. When autohobiles
were made to travel 20 miles there
were no fatal accidents.
Until Jocie precinct was cut off
from Swan, this precinct was the
largest in the county with four full
square townships within its bord
ers. One township went to make
Josie so Swan has three square
townships. Stuart has nine sec
tions over three townships, being
the largest precinct in the county.
To those who found a major
pleasure of life with the barnbo
pole and perched in a boat out on
a sandhill lake the dry season is a
tragedy. Fish ponds are gone,
even the “great lakes’’ like Alkali
and Red Deer up< in Cherry, all the
way down through Brown, Rock
and Holt have less than a foot of
water left and game wardens are
taking the fish.
Reptiles are not numerous but at
least one attained a size. Bring
ing in some horses off the range,
Mrs. Saunders called to me that
she had run onto a huge snake.
Responding to the call, there
stretched in its gleaming length,
head raised and alert, a 6-foot
sand hill boa constrictor the size
of a neck yoke, commonly known
tation as rodent and bug destroy
tation as rodent and buy destroy
ers, but my own convictions are
that there only usefulness con
sists in the ability to kill a rattler
and as there are none such down
this way he was disposed of “with
neatness and dispatch.’’ The wife
wanted to take it along to show to
the others. Not me.
Brutally as the onslaught of a
wild beast, a Chicago youth of 15
slew a widow who had befriended
him. Lust or robbery are the back
ground. always. Hell is born early
in throbbing humanity. A daily
record of shocking tragedy, de
bauchery and crime; the American
Medical association telling us there
are one-half million new cases of a
loathsome venereal disease every
year in this country alone; Mr.
Hoover of the department of jus
tice informing us of a vice ring
with an annual turnover of hund
reds of millions of dollars and a
list of 900,000 employees carrying
on the white slave traffic; men like
Mussolini calmly informing dis
tract^ Europe he .can mobilize
eight million fighting men by “a
simple order”—the picture points
to a rapid plunge to something re
sembling the bottomless pit. Un
touched, the southwest looks on but
can do little about it.
