«sms At present it looks as though the J-cent letter postage will
remain for some time. Asst. Postmaster General Howes, at
a hearing, stated if we return to 2-cent postage the govern-
ment would lose $90,000,000 a year.
THE LABOR RACKETS
Just as government reaches into business to punish fraud,
“dishonesty or use of violence, government should reach into
=labor unions to punish intimidation, abuses in organizing, un-
“lawful picketing and other forms of coercion which are not
how and never have been contemplated by the right to strike.

MORE THAN HOT AIR NECESSARY
The politicians “talk” about “cooperating” with business
but do nothing. They will have to make “peace” with the
common citizen investor by constructive action instead of
political hot air before he will put up a dollar in any job-
making activity.
WE SURE NEED IT
Every once in a while we hear some one mention the fact
that there should be a walk for pedestrians between here and
Florin. But simply talking about it won't get it. Some one
must take the initial step.
There is a cinder walk between Landisville and Salunga
and even something similar would suffice here.

: THE WAY TO DO THINGS
: We want to congratulate our School Board, the teaching
: corps and principal for their willingness in co-operating with
! a recent request. All have proven that they are only too
pleased ta do that which is best for the health, safety and
+ welfare of our school children.
Rendering service is a credit to any one and all concerned
are indeed to be complimented.
It was just learned at Washington last week that a clever
Internal Department clerk set up a dummy CCC camp, and
thereby defrauded the Government out of $84,000 during a
period of three years.
That is certeinly good business. If a fellow can make be-
lieve there exists a CCC camp and keep it up for three years,
what could have been going on in all the other camps that
really existed.
Where were all the camp inspectors during that period or
were they being “greased”?
If this is an illustration of the business methods at Wash-
ngton today, God pity the people or tax payers.

THE TAXES WITHOUT A FRIEND

The special session reached a new high in non-achieve-

+ means to reassure business—and almost no action. If a simi-
: lar statement is reached in the present sessicn, the outlook
* for the future of the country will be serious indeed.
* The greatest need of the time is actual cooperation by gov-
i ernment with industry, which is the sole source of productive
! employment, investment, spending power and taxation. The
+ first step Congress should take, if it is honestly interested in
real national recovery, is to revise those two “taxes without
: a friend” which have done so much to kill business and in-
vestment—the undistributed profits tax and the capital gains
1 tax.
3 Neither of these taxes is an important revenue producer.
+ They actually tend to reduce tax revenues, because of their
+ depressive effect eon industrial activity. There is a remark-
3 able unanimity of opinion among informed persons as to
+ their dangers. Business men, large and small, are solidly
: opposed to them. Outstanding economists can find nothing
: to say in their favor. The nation’s principal newspapers, of
1 all political affiliations, are requesting that they be drastically
1. changed. And a large number of public officiais, of both
+ parties, have gone on record in favor of revision or outright
repeal.
To encourage a revival of business activity that will block
he growing “recession,” assuage the fears of industry and
nvestors as to political and tax persecution.

David Livingstone Long
a Missionary, Explorer
David Livingstone was a Scotch-
man, born in Lanarkshire in 1817,
and when a boy he worked in a cot-
ton factory. In 1840 he landed in
Port Natal, South Africa, as a medi-
cal missionary of the London Mis-
sionary society, and became an as-
sociate of Rev. Robert Moffat,
whose daughter he afterward mar-
ried.
For sixteen years he labored in
the mission work, and during that
time discovered Lake Ngami in the
northwestern Bechuanaland, and
crossed the continent from the Zam-
bezi river to Loanda, a journey
which occupied eighteen months.
While in England in 1857 Living-
stone published “Missionary Travels
and Researches in South Africa.”
Returning to Africa he devoted him-
self to exploration, and in 1865
resolved to find the sources of the
Nile. During the remainder of his
life, observes a writer in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, there were fre-
quent periods when he was not
heard from for months at a time,
and it was during one of these pro-
tracted absences that Henry M.
Stanley began his travels to search
for him and found him in great des-
titution at Ujiji, on Lake Tangan-
yika.
Dr. Livingstone died in 1873 while
exploring the river system of the
Zambezi in the belief that these
were the headwaters of the Nile,
having penetrated to the south
shores of Lake Bangweola Rhode-
sia. In 1874 his body was interred
In Westminster abbey.
