"There is nothing more important than the tasks which He ahead. Every hour of time that's wasted will be paid for with our dead. Every bolt that Isn't driven, every wrench that's tossed aside, Will mean so much more of anguish till we turn the battle's tide. 'There is left no doubt about it! DEALING IN FUTURES It's as plain as plain can be. We need bombers for the sky lanes and great steamships for the sea! We need tanks and shells and cannon, and wo need them right away, And the foes I'm most afraid of now are 'bickering' and that "It's these enemies within us we have to master first, The whlner and com plainer and the spreader of the worst 1 And most important business Is to dedicate our powers Undivided to the struggle, tmtll victory is ours."

7:3. TAX OJT LIQUOR It is difficult to think of any tax which Is less Injurious than tho tax on liquor sales. The drinkers pay but they don't have to drink. The same is true of some other luxury use Is not a necessity. Such taxes can hardly be put in the'hardship class, certainly not in war time.

'The Associated Press reports Gov- James Is against any reduction In liquor taxes at this time de- eplto record-breaking 1941 profits by iho state store monopoly. Tho money Is vitally needed for relief, the chief executive declared In, response to protests of the Pennsylvania Alcoholic Beverage Study, that liquor prices are "exorbitant and unconscionable." The private study organization asserted last year's profits of license fees and "an Invitation to Pennsylvanians to smuggle liquor in from adjacent states or deal with bootleggers." It urged a price cut to bring profits to $16,000,000 a year. A net profit of $21,000,000 was reported by the Liquor Board after deducting the 10, cent emergency tax of $9.000,000 for relief. Th beverage study commented "th emergency has long since passei but the tax remains." This Is hardly a logical standpoin for a far greater emergency has re placed the depression. The news report quotes the governor as lows: "Personally, I do not think i (liquor tax'i should be taken off There are other taxes that the people have to pay, on gasoline, on their cars If they wish to drlve-them on business.

They have no choice In'the matter. But the tax they pay on liquor is on tho amount they want to purchase. "I do not believe the average man who drinks is complaining very much when he realizes that the pro- fts and taxes all go to the man who has no job." As to high taxes encouraging bootlegging, James commented the very size of the profits showed Illicit traffic In the state was on the decline. The lUquor Control Board al- reported less bootlegging in 1941 than previous year. whether ho la having a nightmare or whether, the good old land of pro- fllgaite abundance he knew has gone completely wacky.

A headline with the familiar word "bootlegging" catches his eye. But to him the headline as a whole is utterly fanastic: "Wives Warned on Bootlegging Pants Cuffs for Husbands." He reads on: "The wife who sews cuffs onto her husband's trousers' legs may face federal prosecution WPB warned yesterday." Just beneath that story Is another strange headline: U. S. Freezes Bicycle Stocks: Rationing He reads the body of the "Faced with a terrific run on i bicycles, the WPB halted the 4 sale, shipment, delivery or transfer of'all new adult models, effective at.fi: o'clock last night;" To the man who has been doing a Rip Van Winkle since 1927, it just doesn't moke sense. As he remembers, a bicycle so far as adults were concerned, was a fading relic of an early transportation period.

Why then, a stampede by grownups for this antiquated vehicle? Next he sees this headline: S. In Cheese Business; Seizes Syracuse Plant" Can It bo land of -Lincoln, of Harding and of Coolidge has gone Bolshevistic with an American Lenin, nicknamed WPB, Issuing ukasea to the Yankee proletariat He turns to an Inside page and reads: "Army Streamlines Star- Spanglcd Banner So Males Can Hit Land of the And then his eye lights one: "Army Brass Hats on Wrestle Over Undies for Womente Corps." The Citizen of the Coolidge Era can't take any more. The paper drops from his hands. Ho eased down into his bed and whispers, I'm doing another Rip Van Winkle and It's BE THAT AS IT ByJ. LM.
