EDITORIAL DID NOT VIOLATE THE LAW Our County Court has ruled that the East Lampeter School Board did not violate the law and will not be removed just to please 29, who signed the petition for their removal. BUSINESS OUTLOOK UNCHANGED The business outlook has changed little. “Moderate better- ment” is still the opinion of most economists—and they are being extremely cautious about forecasts. The pending government spending program will, of course, be a favorable factor. However, past experience seems to indicate that the gains resulting from government spending are lost as soon as the spending is reduced. ITS AN ILL WIND, ETC. Last Wednesday Governor Earle fired Attorney General Margiotti and appointed Dr. Herbert F. Goodrich, of the U. of P. law school to the post. Dr. Goodrich would not ac- cept and Earle immediately appointed our own Lancaster Countian Guy K. Bard to the post. He is a son of Silas Bard, veteran newspaper publishes at Denver, this county. Guy was a member of the Public Utilities Commission but re- signed immediately to accept the Attorney Generalship. GET RID OF THIS “DEPRESSION MAKER” Get rid of the capital gains tax—and we'll get rid of one of the principal obstacles to the development of industry and the reemployment of labor! So long as we keep a tax that places punitive financial pen- alties against capital increases that are made from invest- ment, new endeavors and new business of all kinds, over and above income taxes and all other taxes, capital will largely keep in hiding. And the capital gains tax does all of that. The man who takes a chance and risks his money in some venture that provides jobs and opportunities must absorb ‘the entire loss if it fails—but if it succeeds the government takes an extortionate amount of his profits. That's why some of the country’s best economists are call- ing the capital gains tax “Job Killer Number 1”"—and why they are pointing out that it has to be repealed if we are to have the capital investment that will bring good times to the United States. THE REWARDS OF FIRE PREVENTION Winter is over. The good days are here. And millions of people will soon start a pleasant round of motoring trips, pic- nics, camping excursions and other forms of outdoor recrea- tion. If you are one of these, you will see nature at her best. But do your part to make sure that she continues at her best— by being careful with fire... There are millions of acres of revisher, blackened stump land in this country that once bore magnificent trees—be- cause someone was careless with a campfire. Some of the finest natural garden spots have been turned into ashy wastes —Dbecause someone was careless with a cigarette. Animals and humans have perished horribly in, holocausts of raging flame—because someone took a chance with fire. Almost all states have laws against throwing matches or lighted tobacco from cars—obey them rigorously. They are sound laws, designed for your protection, and they deserve your cooperation. An excellent practice is to break a match in two between your fingers before dropping it—then you'll know that it really is out. Don’t go on a camping trip without the basic tools of fire control—a shovel and a good-sized bucket. If possible, make a rock fireplace for your fire. Under no circumstances build it near brush, dry leaves or other easily inflammable ma- terials. Don’t build a large fire—a relatively small one is adequate for all camping needs. And when you are through with it, really put it out—douse it with water, and shovel dirt over the ash. Be certain that not a spark remains. The prevention of fire in the outdoors is its own reward— it guarantees that there will be a beauty spot for you to visit next year. FACE THE FACTS—FIX THE PUMP After five years of pump priming, the water seems to have gone back into the well. It doesn’t do much good to prime a pump unless the mechanism is right to hold the water. We might as well face the fact that it looks as if too much political meddling with business has just about wrecked the pump. Walter Lippmann, one of the most fearless and realistic writers in the nation, in a recent syndicated article, shows that mere government spending will never solve the ques- tion of depression as long as business incentive is discourag- ed. Easy credit will only put business deeper in the hole, un- less it is permitted to make a profit.

There will have to be peace with the utilities. There will have to be peace with the railroads and some end to the arrangement by which rates are fixed by one government board and wages by another.” And he might have added, a cessation of legislative proposals in Congress to destroy business and drive up the cost of living.

She sweltered over an old-fashioned stove. She rubbed her hands to the bones on wash- boards. Her cnly light was waste- ful eye-damaging candles or oil lamps. An abundance of low-priced electricity has literally freed the homemaker and done more torev- olutionize domestic life than was done in the one hundred preceding years. In the “Gay Nineties” you never saw or heard of the multi- plicity of electrical appliances which the housewife of today has at her command, to say nothing of the diversion from dull routine which the radio has brought into the THURSDAY, MAY —— ee 5th, 1939 Two Persons Injured In A Head-onCrash (From page i) HOW TO SLEEP SOUND MAKE THIS 4-DAY TEST Your 2ic common cause hadder Kidney buchu leaves, tablets. acids cause Just and irritation say back of irritation disorders. etc, other that Bukets if not pleased.
