EDITORIAL
Some of the tax collectors in Lan-
caster county are getting good and
tired of those “I can’t pay” stories
and are “bearing down” on delin-
quents,
There are, of course, cases where
people really cannot pay and natur-
ally these are overlooked. But then
there are folks who have not paid
any taxes for several years, yet they
have and spend money for nameless
unnecessary articles.
These are the kind the tax collec-
tors are after and as a result one
man at Lititz was arrested and is
now in the county jail. He will “sit
out” $32 worth of back taxes.
Ten residents of East Lampeter
have been warned to pay or else.
Our local tax collector tells us he
has a number of the kind referred
to above and unless they show an
inclination it will be just too bad.
A LOWER TAX
At a tine when 1t is most apprec-
iated (our outstanding tax heing our
barometer} Boro Council by a vote
of 4 to 2, reduced our tax rate two
mills, making the rate five mills for
this year.
We cannot remember when it was
as low as that.
This is a reduction of 4 mills in
two years, the rate in 1932 being 9
mills.
When money is at a premium, the
rents are difficult to collect and the
average landlord has quite a finan-
cial battle, Council is to be congrat-
ulated on its action
Economy in every way, will be the
watchword during the year and even
with the decreased receipts, our Boro
Fathers feel certain they can “get
by.”
In lieu of the above action it would
be well if many of the property own-
ers would pass this reduction along
to their tenants.
AN ECONOMIC CRIME
The annual per capita fire loss in
the United States is $3.00. The av-
erage loss in three major European
countries is only 60 cents.
That astonishing difference is prin-
cipally the result of a single cause:
The difference in attitude of mind
toward fire between the American
and the European.
In America it is considered a mis-
fortune to have a fire—in Europe it
is a crime, and if a third party's pro-
perty is damaged the person whose
negligence was responsible is apt to
be arrested and held liable.
One need not advocate that Eur-
opean legislation of this nature be
adopted in this country. But it would
be an excellent thing for us all if
the European attitude of mind to-
ward fire was more prevalent. Every
fire destroys irreplaceable natural re-
sources—and all the insurance mon-
ey in the world can’t bring them
back. It can simply pay for part of
the damage.
A heavy percentage of fires is di-
rectly responsible for increased tax-
es—inasmuch as when the taxpaying
property is destroyed the share of
the cost of government it paid must
be levied against other property. By
the same token, fire destroys jobs,
investment opportunities, and de-
prives families of their livelihood.
We all regard arson fires as social
crimes—but every fire which is pre-
ventable, is an economic crime. That
is worth remembering now, when
every resource, every effort should
be bent toward using to the full all
our national assets in bringing re-
covery
A BILL FOR $485.00
Suppose a Federal tax collector
came to your home and presented a
bill for $485.00, telling you to pay it
promptly or your property, invest-
ments, savings or anything else you
possessed, would be attached to sat-
isfy it?
You would feel outraged. But as
the head of a family, you will pay a
bill like that whether you know it
or not. The amount represents the
average family’s share of Federal ex-
penditures for 1933, which totaled
$14,500,000,000. Some of it you pay
directly, through Federal income,
gasoline and similar taxes. The bulk
of it, so far as most families are con-
cerned, is paid indirectly. It's part
of the cost of shoes, clothing, furni-
ture, food, theatre tickets, automo-
biles—every necessity and luxury.
After you have paid this, you are
not through with your tax bill. The
state, county and city governments
are left, all hungry for more mon-
ey; all taking a constantly rising per
centage of your income,
Businesses pay a substantially larg-
er proportion of income in taxes than
do individuals. An excessive drain
on an industry’s till for taxes means
less money for wages, purchases and
expansion. It means that opportunity

Zoo Experts ‘Say Humans
Give Disease to Animals
Animals most difficult to acclimatize
to our weather conditions, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Record, are
the howling monkeys, the orang
outang, North African and Indian
birds. Practically all others become
accustomed to North American cli-
mates comparatively easily. The
best examples of these are the camels,
which reach the place where they eat
snow—when they can get it—and an-
telopes, which frequently are found
lying in the snow and apparently en
joying it. Indian monkeys become ac:
climatized after a single winter in
this climate. .
Contrary to a somewhat
belief, pneumonia is not prevalent
among menagerie animals, [n fact, it
Is about the least common of animal
diseases. [It was pointed out that
pneumonia and colds are not directly
due to cold weather, but rather to
crowding, which is a result of the
cold, and to a lack of exercise, anoth
er direct results of inclement weather.
It is the observtion of zoo experts
that humans are usually responsibile
for cases of pneumonia, laryngitis and
allied diseases among the animals.

That's Wisconsin's contribution to
the good health and good fun of the
fashionables who seek out the north
woods for winter sports. To enjoy
these in frosty temperatures the radi-
ant vitality of perfect health is de-
manded,
And today’s outdoor girl achieves
this by a watchful eye on diet. Fol-
lowing the newest dietetic advice, she
includes two slices of canned pineap-
ple or an equivalent amount of crushed
or tidbits on her daily menu. For re-
search has shown the luscious Hawai-
fan fruit to be a valuable source of
Vitamins A, B and C and of essential
minerals. So the winter outdoor girl,
like Miss Jerry Mitchell (above) set-
ting out for a day's skiing from Jack
O’Lantern Lodge near Eagle River,
discards the pounds of fur coats and
blankets of former days in favor of
the warmth of perfect health which
modern knowledge of diet brings.

has been lessened.
The tax problem affects every in-
vestor, every home-owner, every
worker, every family. Not one of
us escapes its crushing burden. That
is why each and every one of wus
should do his or her part to create
efficient and economical government,
and to study the necessity behind
every tax demand from the smallest
county seat in the land to the capital
at Washington.
SPEED BRINGS DEATH
One of the most serious aspects of
the automobile accident problem is a
constant increase in the number of
fatalities per accident. In 1933, for
example, the number injured non-fa-
tally increased 2.2 per cent over 1932
—while fatalities jumped 5.9 percent.
The reason for this is obvious: Ex-
cessive speed. It is an incontrovert-
ible maxim that the chance of acci-
dent producing a fatality becomes
greater as the speed of cars involved
increases. A vivid example of this
is provided by comparing last year
with 1927. Registrations in 1933 were
less thar 3 per cent above the 1927
level. The total number of miles
driven by passenger cars was little,
if any, greater. But there were 17
per lent more deaths.
A recent exhaustive survey pro-
duced the fact that excessive speed
was responsible for 33 per cent of all
automobile deaths. And that term,
“excessive speed,” needs a definition.
There are times when fifteen miles
an hour is dangerous and there are
times fifty miles an hour is overcau-
tious. Road and weather conditions,
the amount of traffic, the experience
of the driver, the condition of the
car—these factors, rather than a mere
speedometer reading, are the tests of
afe operating speeds.
Any speed is unsafe if the driver
is unable to ston his car in the as-
sured clear distance ahead. Road and
eather varv the safety factor.
Study vonr car and your own cap-
abilities. Discover how soon you can
stop at varying speeds. This is in-
dispensable in becoming a safe mo-
torist,

Program
Approved
(From page one)
payments made to them last season
were divided with share-tenants.
All participants in the 1933 plan,
who do not wish to accept the revis-
ions as a part of their contract are
required, under the decision of the
Secretary that the program continue,
to maintain the 50 per cent reduction
made by them last season, for which
they will receive payments on the
same basis as in 1933. Such growers
will not sign any supplement to their
1933 contracts.
Contracting producers will be re-
quired to limit the use of the land
taken out of production of tobacco.
No crops for sale can be grown on
such land, but feed or food crops di-
rectly or indirectly for home con-
sumption will be permitted on one-
half of contract acreage. The re-
mainder must be left idle or can be
planted to erosion-preventing or soil
improving crops. If no harvested
crop is grown on the contracted ac-
reage, the entire acreage may be
used for pasturage of livestock for
consumption or use on the farm.
The total acreage planted in crops
for harvest in 1934 in addition to the
contracted acreage, cannot exceed the
acreage of 1932 or 1933, whichever is
greater, while the acreage of any ba-
sic commidity crop on the farm can
not be increased over that of 1932 or
1933, whichever is greater.
Other revisions carried in the sup-
plement to the contract require there
be no reduction in the number of
share-tenants on the farm, and pro-
vide for equitable division of the sec-
ond payment with tenants. All new
participants must sign the supple-
ment.
The choice for base acreage in the
1933 contract were as follows: (a) 80
per cent of average acreage planted
to tobacco on the farm in 1931 and
1932; (b) the entire acreage of to-
bacco in 1932, provided that this ac-
reage did not exceed that of 1931;
(a) the average acreage planted to
tobacco in 1931 and 1932, provided
that the tobacco planted in 1932 was
greater than that in 1931. The new
choices now offered in addition to
the old ones are: (d) two-thirds of
the acreage planted to tobacco in ’31
and (e) one-half of the
planted to tobacco in 1930.

reduce his
ments per acre
A grower who elects to
acreage by 100 per cent will receive
on his entire base acreage;
the first payment at $24 per acre,
and the second at $8.50 per acre, If
the producer has participated in the
1933 reduction program and become
eligible for the supplemental pay-
ment, he will receive $4 per acre in
addition to other payments.
A grower who chooses the 50 per
cent reduction will receive payments
on half of his base acreage; the first
payment at the rate of $24 per acre,
and the second payment for each ac-
re will be 40 per cent of the average
value of each acre of tobacco har-
vested by such grower in 1934, with
a minimum rate of $17 per acre. In
case the supplemental payment is
received, it will be made on one-
half of the base acreage.
The grower who selects the option
for 33 1-3 per cent reduction from
his base will receive $24 per acre on
one-third of his base acreage in the
first payment; with a second payment
for each acre equal to 35 per cent of
the average value of each acre of to
bacco harvested by such grower from
his base acreage in 1934, with the
minimum second payment placed at
114 per acre. The supplemental pay-
ment will be made, if the grower
qualifies, on the same acreage as the
other payments.
Producers who did not participate
in the program last year will be of-
fered contracts which include the
supplementary provisions, The con-
tract will be the same as that used
last year; the supplementary provi-
sions will be carried in a rider to
the contract.
Producers who participated in the
program last year and who elect to
keep 50 per cent of their present base
acreage out of tobacco this year will
not sign a new contract and may
elect to sign or not to sign the rider.
If they choose a new option or anew
base tobacco acreage, or both, they
will sign a rider. Copies of the rid-
er will be mailed before April 1 to
all producers who participated in the
program in 1933. If they sign the
rider and qualify under it, they will
receive a supplementary first pay-
ment.
All questions pertaining to the
above regulations are to be referred

Otto Olson, 215 P. O. Bldg. Lancas-
ter, Pa.

6 E WAS my buddy,” said Cor-
poral McTigue.
“A regular,” said Barnswallow, a
private.
They bent over the limp figure of
Larrabee. He rested on his back, eyes
fastened on the stars. A bursting
shrapnel showered them with frag-
ments,
“Never get him back. . . . there
: . tonight,” Barnswallow said,
nodding in the direction of the trench
from whence they had begun to recon-
noiter some hours before.
Tim McTigue did not answer. He
was thinking of the afternoon long ago
when Jim Larrabee had gathered up
his all but lifeless form from the wa-
ters of Eureka lake. Larrabee had
labored over him all afternoon before
his efforts, which at first seemed to be
futile, brought a spark of life. That
incident marked the beginning of an
unflagging friendship. Even McTigue's
marriage had not weakened the bond.
Larrabee was a frequent visitor In his
home and pretty Mollie McTigue had
taken a great liking to him, too. And
now Larrabee lay dead, victim of a
random enemy bullet.
“Hoist him on my back,” McTigue
instructed presently, hugging the
ground.
Barnswallow sensed the futility of
dissenting. “We'll alternate,” he said.
Progress was desperately slow. Oc:
casionally bullets whined overhead.
Presently McTigue felt his compan-
ion brush against his shoulder. It
seemed hours since they had last
spoken, but he knew it could not have
been so long because of the inky dark-
ness all around them. They had ad-
vanced perhaps twenty-five yards.
Barnswallow worked his way along
side and Larrabee’s flaccid figure was
transferred to his back.
Rifles cracked with
quency and occasionally
droned overhead. Then Barnswallow
discovered McTigue had halted. The
margin between his now stationary
position was so slight that he had ob-
served this immediately.

“You push on,” he said finally. “I'll

Barnswallow shook his head. “Noth-
un’ doing,” he protested,
“D—n it, one of us has got to re
port back,” McTigue said, bitterly.
“You're the skipper,” Barnswallow
said.
McTigue lay still for a long while,
A shell tore a hole in the earth, not
fifty feet from where they lay.
“Guess we'll have to leave him be-
ind,” McTigue said after a while.
They deposited the corpse in the
hole torn by the shell,

His face was ghastly when he fin-
ished. He hud gathered a pipe, a to-
bacco pouch, a handkerchief, a soiled
letter and a small photograph.
“Nothing of value,” he said, bending
toward McTigue, who seized the col-
lection,
“Was this all?”
“Yes. . . ,” hesitantly.
“What's that? In your other hand?”
“A photograph. . . . of Jim,” Barn-
swallow said. “You probably have
one,”
“I haven't,” McTigue snapped. “He
told me he didn't have one. Let's
see It.”
Barnswallow made no move to com-
ply. McTigue cursed vehemently,
“Give me that picture,” he com
manded, springing from the ground.
His voice keyed to the pitch of his
emotions, carried to alert enemy ears.
A machine gun spattered bullets all
around. McTigue pitched forward.
“Jees!"” he muttered, as his body
convulsed, relaxed and was still.
Barnswallow flattened to the
ground. He remained motionless for
some time, cheek pressed against the
damp earth. Then he remembered fit
was fast becoming light, Before push-
ing toward the trenches once more he
knew he must confirm his startling dis-
covery. He rolled over until his body
pressed against that of his . newly
fallen comrade
In the pocket of McTigue's shirt he
located the object of his search, a
small photograph of McTigue’s wife,
which the latter had proudly displayed
on frequent occasion, Mollie Me-
Tigue was unmistakably pretty. The
inscription on the back of the photo-
graph read:
“Lovingly yours,
“Mollie.’
Baruswallow compared this photo-
graph with the one found in Larra-
bee's jacket. They were identical, ex-
cept that on the back of Larrabee’s,
Mollie McTigue had scrawled:
“Po Jim, my own. Loving you al
ways,
“Mollie.”
The sun nosed over the horizon and
there was a something clean and re
freshing about the damp earth as
irnswallow wriggled forward.
