T-- vjl not from the peole, but from professional politicians who continue Mellon to harp along the old demagogic lines of taxing wealth. calmly shows that after you have taxed wealth out of existence, the burden of government falls with a double force upon the small taxpayer who has to make up losses which the investor who refuses to utilize his money in productive industry, would under a lower tax system be paying. If the politicians block the tax reduction measure, they will have robbed the people of over $300,000,000 for 1924. 69 69 H OF SALINA SALINA - UTAH 63 A NATION OF KNICKERS Any way you look at it, were pretty much a nation of kickers. We lack appreciation of the good things that have come to us in recent years. Only the other day a man was asked if he had anything to be thankful for this year, and he gave us an answer we believe you'll enjoy, as well as profit by. He said: "Sure Im thankful I dont live back in the days when the land around here could be bought for $4 an acre; when a spring seat on a farm wagon was a luxury; when the only refrigerator in town was in a butcher shop. Im thankful I live in an age when all 1 have to do is touch a button to get a light, turn on a faucet to get a drink of water, when school houses in the country are as good as .in the city and children are hauled to them in auto busses, when men can ride to and from their work in flivvers instead of on shanks mare. Of course all of these things are the result of toil and thrift, so Im thankful for good health to toil and sense enough to save a little as I J?trtj5tate2famfe 53 Member 63 Federal Reserve t System 63 v 4 li 63 63 53 JAMES FARRELL, Pres.

Fastest Washing -k Machine Made The Maytag ' A HARD YEAR UPON THEORIES The membership or the American Federation of Labor is about smaller than it was three years ago. The building trades unions have lost 64,000 members alone. The year has been one of few strikes, high wages and increased production. The prices of commodities have slowly been falling. From these facts one learns that intensive organization of workingmen is not necessarily the stimulation to high wages. A high level of renumeration does not always tend to lower production. The costs of living can fall while wages are going up. In short, the experiences of 1923 knock the props out from under three of four theories that have been held almost, with religious fervor by spokesmen of labor and capital.

TODAY AND THIRTY YEARS AGO aiiiai Thirty years ago we remember When eggs were 3 dozen for 25c; butter 10c a pound; milk 5c a quart; the butcher gave away liver and treated the kids with bologna; the hired girl received two dollars a week and did the washing. Women did not powder and paint (in public), smoke, vote, play poker or shake the shim-miMen wore whiskers and boots, chewed tobacco, spit on the sidewalk, and cussed. Beer was 5c and the lunch was free. , Laborers worked ten hours a day and never went on a strike. Tips were not given to waiters and the grafter was unknown. A kerosene lamp and a stereoscope in the parlor were luxuries. No one was ever operated on for appendicitis, or bought glands. Microbes were unheard of; folks lived to a good old age and every year walked miles to wish their friends A Merry Christmas. e. State gasoline taxes collected in 35 out of 48 states at current low prices for gasoline form a considerable portion of its wholesale cost. There are 14,000,000 motor vehicles now in use in United States, each consuming an average of 424 gallons of gasoline a year or an estimated total of 5,936,000,000 gallons for 1923. With present gasoline tax laws and those proposed, it is probably that gasoline tax for 1924 paid by automobile users will be $50,000,000. This tax is a perfect illustration of what might be called an exThat is, it is the easiest way to raise the money.

EASY MONEY FOR SHARPERS People accustomed to making large investments do not need the warning of a newspaper to use caution in conducting their affairs. But the unwary are those who have the small amounts which wish to employ in ways that will make them a safe income. they These people often have not had the necessary contact with the practical world to protect them from the designing adventurers that stand ever ready to lure them into financial pitfalls. There are laws designed to prevent the operations of these fraudulent concerns, but such laws cannot be wholly effective. They are too easily evaded. There is no substitute for sound common It has been repeated many times over that sense and prudence. those who do not themselves possess the requisite knowledge should either not invest or should seek the advice of thoroughly reliable investment authority before risking their money in something that promises to pay large returns. hat-chec- k Today Everybody rides in automobiles, or flies; plays golf; shoots craps; plays the piano with the feet; go to the movies nightly; smoke cigarettes; drinx Rucus Juice; blame the H.
