No! my darling son We're living now on Easy Street With funds from Washington. We're cared for now by Uncle Sam So don't get exercised. We do not need to care a damn Because we're subsidized. But if he’s going to treat us well And give us milk and honey, Please tell me, truly, where the hell He's going to get the money. Don’t worry child there is no hitch About this glorious plan He'll get the money from the rich To help the common man. But, father, time If we take all their cash And they are left without a dime When things will go to smash? won't there come a You need a lot of seasoning You nosey little brat, You do too damn much reasoning To be a Democrat! What our government is doing in not only “Soaking the Rich”, but “Everybody in Every Way.” If they don’t come to their senses in Washington this country is a “Dead Duck.” We had 10,000 of these printed and are mailing them out as stuffers hoping they will get a few people thinking, talking and acting about what our great (7?) leaders are doing to us.

That's what the new Thorough soil pulverization! That’s the result when you use the Oliver Plow Master and its exclusive Raydex bottoms with shares so low in cost you can throw them away when they get dull. The new farm features of the Oliver “77” make this famous tractor more versatile and economical than ever to own. Its steady 6-cylinder engine and 6-forward-speed trans- mission give you nearly any ground travel and drawbar pull combination you need. You have a choice of three engines: one for gasoline, one for tractor fuel—and a diesel, a specially designed, farm- engineered engine that will be available later. Also, you have a choice of interchangeable cast iron or stamped steel wheels for Row Crop Models to suit your traction conditions. What's more, every mounted tool is basically interchangeable with every other new Row Crop tractor. When you add the direct drive power take-off of the “77”, metered oil system, battery ignition and the several other new improvements, you'll realize why the “77” is truly /a farmer’s tractor.

Twenty-Five States Have Rejected: Seventeen Approved Soldier Bonus Of the 45 states that have con-!1 state; Motor Vehicles, taxes involved and the number of states imposing each type are sum- marized as follows: Property Tax, 6 states; Cigar- ettes, 5 states; Alcoholic Bever- ages, 4 states; General Sales, 2 states; Personal Income, 2 states; Corporate Income, 2 states; Gross Income, 1 state; Pari-mutuel, 1 state; Per Capita, 1 state; Mining, 1 state; Bonus approved by voters; legislation pending (Del: | EE Bonus referendum pending +3 State Actions On Bonus For Veterans of World War | ————u— (As of September 1, 1949) : ER sor defeuted by referendum 'vote-5 5 ) No action reported-3 Bonus bill aot approved by Legislature - 20 The above map, reproduced from the latest leaflet in the Pennsyl- vania ‘State Chamber of Commerce series dealing with Pennsylvania's proposed Veterans’ Bonus, identi- fies the 17 states that have ap- proved a World War II bonus pro- posal, the 25 states that have re- jected bonus plans either in the legislature or by public vote, and the three states (including Penn- sylvania) where referenda are now pending. In only three states has a bonus proposal not been con- sidered up to this time, sidered a bonus, 17 have author- ized or paid a bonus, 25 have re- ular vote or legislative action, and three states have a referendum pending. thorize a bonus was Delaware, whose legislature adopted a plan after the State Chamber's current release was in print. Today's release, which -is one of a series of ' question-and-answer leaflets being issued by the State Chamber in advance of the Novem- ber election, deals principally with bonus developments in other states. The State Chamber is tak- ing a neutral position on the half- billion-dollar Pennslvania bonus proposal and is issuing its leaflets in the interests of an informed vote by the people. ‘ “Thus far, bonus proposals have been turned down in 25 states,” the current leaflet points out, “In five (of these) states, a bonus was defeated by referendum vote, while in 20 states bonus bills failed to receive favorable action by the legislature.” Of the 17 states that have approved bonus payments, 13 did so by vote of the people and four of legislative action not re- quiring direct approval by the voters. Twelve different kinds of taxes are being levied to finance bonus payments in the states that have adopted a bonus. ‘In some states jected the proposal either by pop- | | The 17th state to au- |electorate, did not specify how the | two or more of these taxes have been imposed or authorized,” the leaflet points out.

Pennsylvania's legislature, in submitting the half-billion-dollar veterans’ bonus bond issue to the bond issue would be repaid if the bonus proposal is approved. Two other states where referenda are to be held coupled the bonus vote with specific tax proposals. “In New Jersey’, the leaflet ex- plains, “the people will be woting on a new gross receipts tax when they cast their ballots on the bonus question, while in West Vir- ginia one or more of the following are involved: (1) tax rate in- creases on cigarettes, alcoholic bev- erages or general sales; (2) a new graduated income tax.” Today's release brought these additional facts: State bonus programs already authorized in 17 states will cost approximately $2 billion, exclusive of interest costs. If the voters give their approval in Pennsyl- vania, whose $500 million bonus is the largest proposed in the na- tion, and the bonus is approved also in New Jersey and West Vir- ginia, the total would mount to nearly $2 34 billion, Of the 20 states which paid a World War I bonus, 13 have ap- proved a World War II bonus, five have rejected the proposal, and two (Pennsylvania and New Jer- sey) have not yet given their de- cision. out LAP BOARD PARTY EVERY Monday — Wednesday — Saturday Evening FORMER TEEN-AGE BUILDING (rear Gregory's Barber Shop) i ~ DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA Trucksville Church Notes Mr. and Mrs. Club will meet at the church this evening.
