SatpflJfqt ".Proelaiw Liberty tkrougrh : Jill the land" Liberty Bell The Greatest Cause of War President Roosevelt said in a recent speech -that he believed be-lieved world opinion would, in future, condemn any nation planning wars of aggression. This is true, but unfortunately the munition makers don't believe it. They spend millions every year for the purpose pur-pose of stirring up trouble and trying to start wars of aggression. ag-gression. .And they spend millions more for propaganda to instill international fear among peoples, so that terror-racked terror-racked nations will order more armaments to the munitions muni-tions makers' great profit. These are facts, and it is useless to blink them. One of the best ways to pace lies along the road of profitless war-making. Ta1e the profit out of the armaments racket and see how soon the nations are able to compose their differences, dif-ferences, how many fewer peace conferences are wrecked and how the fear complex will Jift from the world. One, of the major causes of - war today lies in the private pri-vate profits to be made from it. Eliminate that factor, Mr, President, and we'll start to get somewhere.

These Curious Things Scipio Africanus, the great Roman Ro-man general, instituted the practice prac-tice of shaving. Until his time it was customary for a man to grow a luxurious crop of foliage upon his face. But Scipio, a great soldier, abolished chin whiskers thru a purely defensive de-fensive reason. During this period of Roman history the armies of Rome were constantly at war. The implements imple-ments of warfare in those days were bow and arrow, lance and jhort sword. The arrows were .soon exhausted, and in close fighting fight-ing formation the lance was not a desirable weapon. The short sword was relied upon in the mam. The method of using this weapon weap-on was to grab an opponent by the beard, when in close hand-to-hand encounter, and with his head V, thus held, strike him with thei double-edged blade. It was crude but effective. Scipio thought alaout the matter then made all his men shave off their beards. Thus, the Romans were able to grasp their foes by the bead, and having none themselves, them-selves, were at a distinct advantage. advant-age. It was very elemental reason - I ME A Zo&J f CHISEL?

SCIENCE Plans for the next two years call for regular trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific transportation by air of both passengers and freight. From the Pacific coast, the first stop will be the Hawaiian islands. Eastward, from New York or Washington, one of which cities will be the terminus on this coast, planes will hop otf for Paris. It is likely trie regular international interna-tional lines will find airplanes from England, Holland, Russia and France in this travel daily, and international agreements are now in formation which will permit these ships to land on foreign soil. Ghina. the United States, Holland, France, Germany and England are the countries most interested at this time, altho several other nations are seriously considering plans to enter the field.

Roosevelt brought Bruere, presi-deent presi-deent of the Bowery Savings Bank, down from New York to straighten out this tangle. But Bruere only got tangled up in it himself. At another time, 200 savings banks in Kew York state worked out a plan by which they would establish a state savings bank system, sys-tem, giving the New York bankjng commission and the federal government gov-ernment wide powers of control. The R. F. C. welcomed the plan and promised to advance the necessary money. But some of the big banks in New York City balked. They said it created a dangerous precedent for state and government control. The treasury listened. The big bankers had their way. ! MONEY PUMP j In the end, the R. F. C. began pumping out money. It was apparent ap-parent that if one bank fulfilled the requirements for federal deposit de-posit insurance, and a bank just across the street could not, depositors de-positors would flock to the souid bank. So to save bank runs, the R. F. C. bolstered up the unsound banks unless they were not worth saving. After all this, ft was discovered that large areas of the country were without any banks at all. So about two weeks ago the treasury asked every small town in the XJ. S. A. by telegram whether credit facilities were adequate.

If, however, any portion of a hog is sold after slaughter, the producer must pay the tax based on live weight. For example, if a farmer should sell only two smoked, regular hams, weighing 20 pounds each from a hog slaughtered between December 1 and December 31, 1933, he would pay a tax computed com-puted as follows: The tax per hundred hun-dred pounds, live weight, is $1 ; the rate of tax, multiplied by 206 per cent, times the weight of the hams, will give the amount of the tax on the two smoked hams equivalent to the amount of tax which would have been paid, had the processing tax been computed on the whole hog on a live weight basis. The tax would thus be 82 cents for 40 pounds of regular, smoked hams. When a person, not a producer, buys a live hog and has the hog slaughtered for consumption by his family and not for sale, no liability liabil-ity for the processing tax at taches. However; if he sells any part of the pork products, he must pay the processing tax on the entire hog, live weight. In other works, t.ie first domestic dom-estic processing is the slaughtering slaughter-ing of hogs for market. The penalty for wilful failure had in mind opening Postal Savings Sav-ings to checking accounts where no banks were functioning. Eventually this may come. Eventually also a lot of banks will be taken over by the government. But before that, the country is about to witness a lot more grief. This is one of the big reasons why Roosevelt has determined to be his own secretary of the treasury. treas-ury. WITH ROPN FY DUTCHER tie.

Mr. Stone was appointed attorney attor-ney general by President Coolidge in 1924. Nine months later he was elevated to the supreme bench. Liberal leaders at that time contended con-tended that the move was made rTy Coolidge because he feared Stone would antagonize big business by the vigor with which he enforced federal statutes, especially the anti-trust laws.
