SEALY NEEDS CULTURE CLUB
It seems rather deplorable that a town the size of Sealy
doesn’t boast a single organization among the fair sex for the
advancement of cultural interests. It has been said that a sure
sign of stagnation is self-satisfaction, and we can not believe
that the women of our town are so self satisfied that they
never feel the need of reviewing things of a historical or
literary nature, to delve into the arts and sciences or promulgate
those things of a civic or governmental nature that not only
make of the woman a better informed or better citizen, but
aid her materially in the task of rearing and training her
children.
The federated clubs throughout the state have come to be
recognized by the political forces as a strong factor, and State
solons in advocating various reforms strive to obtain the
endorsement of these groups of women. These organizations are
being formed throughout the state in the cities, towns and
villages, and we are of the opinion that a similar organization
would be an edifying influence in our own little city of Sealy.
all told, a good third of the national income, which is esti- 2
mated for 1934 at about $45,000,000,000.
The hardest place to cut governmental expenses is in
Washington. The easiest place is at home, in towns, counties
and states. If everybody realized that he or she is a taxpayer,
and that their money would go a lot further if taxes were
lower, perhaps there might be a public demand to get rid of
a lot of the tax-eaters who subsist at everybody’s expense.

UNCLE SAM’S INCOME
In spite of all the political opposition to anything called
a “Sales Tax,” the surprising fact is disclosed in recent reports
from Washington that the principal source of revenue for the
Federal Government today is from sales taxes.
Estimates submitted to Congress by the executive depart-
ment show an expectation, in the next fiscal year, of $1,900,-
000,000 income from sales taxes of various kinds, and only
$1,200,000,000 from income taxes, which have heretofore been
the chief source of national revenue.
Under the head of sales taxes we must, of course, include
the processing taxes on agriculture commodities, out of which
benefit payments are made to farmers. These taxes, like all
other taxes, are naturally passed on to the ultimate consumers.
They are estimated for the next fiscal year at $570,000,000.
The tobacco tax comes next, with an estimated $466,000,000;
then the liquor taxes of $430,000,000, more than half for beer;
the gasoline tax of $170,000,000, and all of the sales taxes on
automobiles, tires, radio sets and a hundred other items of
commerce.
From all other sources the Government expects to collect
less than $900,000,000, a third of that from customs duties,
$215,000,000 from estate and gift taxes, $100,000,000 from
capital stock and excess profits and about $250,000,000 from
miscellaneous sources.
The total tax expectations for the fiscal year are about
four billions of dollars; the total proposed to be spent in the
same period is about eight and one half billions. The difference
must be borrowed, unless new taxes are imposed to provide for
the excess. It is hard to imagine any additional taxes that
would raise enough to cover the total proposed expenditures,
without starting a riot of large proportions.
It is that sort of an impasse that gives strength to the
various projects for currency inflaion. We look for some wild
schemes to be offered and perhaps discussed before this session
of Congress ends.

OLD AGE PENSIONS
Without attempting to pass upon the merits or otherwise
of the bill which has been introduced by Senator Wagner of
New York and Representative Lewis of Maryland, providing
for a national system of old-age pensions, we believe that the
great majority of Americans are in hearty agreement with the
fundamental principles involved.
We know of nobody who is not in favor of some effective
system of providing for those whom in old age, are unable to
support themselves in decent comfort.
We believe that the plan of building up, during an indi-
vidual’s working life, a fund to which the worker, the em-
ployer and perhaps the State are contributors, which wi.l pro-
vide an annuity for old age, is the soundest possible way of
accomplishing this end. It removes completely any possible
stigma of pauperism, which is inevitably attached to gratuitous
giants of unearned benefits.
As to what the amount of such pensions should be, and
whether the compulsory retirement age should be 60, 65 or 70
years, there is a great diversity of opinion.
There is much to be said for the voluntary annuity system
proposed for the “self-employed,” whereby the farmer, the
doctor, the lawyer or anyone else who is not attached to a
payroll, can place a small part of his or her income in trust
with the Government, from year to year, to accumulate until
the retiring age is reached, when an income for life may then
be derived from the accumulated fund. We understand such a
system has been employed in England for more than two
hundred years.
To the hopeful elderly persons who have been looking
forward to immediate old-age pension checks from the Govern-
ment, the bill as introduced offers little solace. Provision is
made for joint state and Federal relief for those who are
practically destitute, but the age at which this relief shall
begin may be placed as high as 70 years. This does not bring
much comfort to those in their sixties who have been led to
believe there was a chance of getting $200 a- month right
now.
At any rate, the Wagner-Lewis bill is a start toward a
-gnal_aL_which_- the nation, sooner or later, must arrive.

CONSCIENCE
Bewildered indeed is the unhappy mortal who loses or
deadens his conscience, for that is the scale on which is measur-
ed every act, great or small, of our lives. An increasingly sensi-
tive conscience is a definite sign of mental and spiritual growth
and its owner is destined to walk in higher ways.
A deadened conscience can give us no sense of duty—we
lose our sense of proportion and our fellow beings recede in
importance until they look like figures at the little end of a
telescope—while we see ourselves—and our affairs—from the
other end, magnified out of all proportion. And our loss is
even greater than estranged friends and relatives—for in the
end we lose our own self-respect.
The meaning of the old expression “Have a heart!” might
much better be expressed by saying “Have a conscience!” for a
lively conscience is chart and composs to us in our journey.
The billows may be rough but at least we have the complete
satisfaction of knowing we are headed in the right direction.
Let conscience have a large hand in the shaping of your
destiny. The first changes may be painful, but afterward peace
and genuine happiness will be yours to keep.—San Antonio
Express.
At an impressive early morn-
ing ceremony, held at the Holy
Rosary church in Rosenberg, on
Monday, January 28, Miss
Agnes Stavinoha and James
Saha were united in marriage,
Rev. James Kveton and Rev. A.
W. Nesvadba officiating.
The bride, who was given in
marriage by her father, was
lovely in a wedding gown of
white satin, made on conven-
tional lines and simply trimmed
in self covered buttons, and
with a slight train. Her long
veil was attached to a coronet
wreath of orange blossoms, and
she carried a bride’s prayer
book with streamers of white
satin ribbon and lillies of the
valley.
The matron of honor, Mrs.
Chas. Stavinoha, wore an at-
tractive gown in a new shade
of blue with turban to match,
and carried an arm bouquet of
pink roses and carnations. The
bride’s maids, Frances Saha,
Lillie Stavinoha and Judith
Horak were attractively attir-
ed in white crepe dresses, made
on fitted lines, and wore turb-
ans to match. They carried arm
bouquets of pink roses, carna-
tions and fern. The little flow-
er girl, Charlene Stavinoha,
wore a dainty frock of white
crepe satin and carried a match-
ing bonnet filled with rose
petals.
The groomsmen were John-
nie Stavinoha, George Horak
and Frank Saha.
The bridal party entered the
church to the strains of Lohen-
gren’s Wedding March, with
Mr. Weisner of Houston at the
organ, and proceeded to the
altar where a clever arrange-
ment of rose buds and fern
formed a fitting setting for the
impressive ceremony. The bride,
on the arm of her father, was
met at the altar by the groom,
who was also accompanied by
his father. Witnesses for the
young couple were Messrs.
Chas. Stavinoha and Louis
Machala.
Misses Mae and Pat Weisner
rendered the vocal numbers.
Miss Mae singing, “Oh Promise
Me,” just proceeding the cere-
mony.
Following the wedding the
party repaired to the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. B. B. Stavinoha, where a
luncheon was served and a color
scheme of pink and white was
emphasized. Later in the even-
ing the young couple left for a
brief honey moon trip to San
Antonio and other points. The
bride wore an attractive brown
spring suit with harmonizing
accessories.
The bride is the eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. B.
Stavinoha of Rosenberg, and is
a charming young lady. For
the past three years she has
been employed at the Rosenz-
weig dry goods store in her
home town. The groom is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. James
Saha of Frydek, and is a valued
employee of the Robinowitz-
Kaechele store in Wali is. The
young couple will be at home
in Wallis on February 2.
THE SIZE OF THE TAX LOAD
We saw some interesting figures the other day—if any
kind of figures can be said to be interetsing. These figures
interested us because they showed just how heavy the tax
burden upon the American people is.
Not counting the extraordinary emergency expenditures of
the Federal Government, made with borrowed money, which
have not yet begun to be seriously reflected in the demand
for taxes, Uncle Sam is spending just for ordinary upkeep of
the governmental institutions, including the Army and Navy,
and the payment of expenses arising from past wars, such as
veterans’ pensions, just about 15 million dollars every working
day, or $4,500,000,000 a year.
But the Federal tax load is not the heaviest, by any means,
States, counties and municipalities take more than twice as
much in taxes from the citizens. The total annual tax bill
of the American people runs up to 15 thousand millions a
year, which comes close of being $125 a year for every man,
woman and child. The average family of four carries a $500
a year tax load. Some pay more, some less, but that is the
average.
These taxes bear on everybody. They are concealed in the
rent bill, the electric bill, the price of groceries, the cost of
everything for which everybody spends a cent. They take.
SCHUBERT-GRUENER
A marriage of interest to a
wide circle of friends occurred
in Sealy on Tuesday of last
week, January 22, when Miss
Mary Schubert became the
bride of Bennie C. Gruener. The
wedding took place at the Mey-
ers Memorial parsonage, Rev.
A. E. Hughes officiating.
George Hill of Bellville and Miss
McNutt of Peters witnessed
the ceremony.
The bride is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Max Schubert of
the Peters community and is a
very popular young lady. She
graduated from Sealy High
School about three years ago.
The groom is an ener-
getic young man of Bellville,
being employed at the Electric
Service Station of that city.
The many friends of the
young couple join in extending
congratulations and best wishes,
for a long and happy married
life. «

| From Dimes
To The News:
I have always envied the
club girls from other counties
and have always wished that
Austin county could get some
clubs started, especially one in
my vicinity.
After our County Home
Demonstration agent was elect-
ed, a meeting was held at Bell-
ville, our county seat, for those
who were interested in club
work. I attended this meeting
with high hopes that a club
would be started in my locality,
and came back with the thought
that my wish was soon to be
fulfilled.
Our first meeting was held
on June 12, 1934, at the Ken-
tucky Ridge school house. Im-
mediately after this meeting I
sent in my enrollment card,
happy with the knowledge that
at last I was a member.
As my productive demonstra-
tion, I took gardening, and
was amazed at the profit I
made by planning my garden
and later preserving the sur-
plus vegetables.
It is hard to realize just how
much club work has meant to
me. I have learned so many
new things that I never dream-
ed existed.
I sincerely regret that my
history cannot be as complete
as it should be due to the fact
that our club was organized in
June, and I did not get a full
years’ work. Let us hope that
next year my history will show
a marked improvement.

Kentucky Ridge.
