THINGS ONE REMEMBERS
Chickens come home to roost! From four widely separat-
ed Southern communities protests have arisen against the loss
of local tax revenues resulting from government acquisition
of property and its consequent removal from local tax rolLs.
When people clamor for “free political pork’’ (govern-
ment ownership of an industry or land in their community),
they forget that the only way the pork barrel can be filled in
order to make them the gift, is through money drawn from
their own hard-earned savings by taxation. The politicians
“give” them nothing except what they first take away.
A Georgia mayor wants something done about loss of
municipal revenue occassioned by two large tax-free PWA
housing projects which supplant former tax-paying property.
One North Carolina county wants the government to com-
pensate it for taxes lost on account of huge acreage withdrawn
for a tax-exempt park project-
Another county in the same state has now lost taxes from
52,000 acres of land taken by the government for a waterfowl
refuge and wants relief along with the birds.
Six Tennessee counties find a loss in their tax rolls or
from 5 to 35 per cent of total assessed valuation, as a result
of TVA purchases.
One Senator declares that public ownership of railroads,
which some are advocating, and public ownership of utilities
would deprive his state of nine million dollars a year tax
revenues. “Where in God’s world are they going to make it
upt” he asks. .
The entire program of government competing m business
with its own citizens would be laughable if it were not so
serious. The politicians get votes by promising the people
something for nothing, and the people try to get something
which they think somebody else will pay for. In reality the
people pay for the whole works, including the government-
owned tax-exempt enterprises which destroy their own highly
taxed businesses and ultimately government income itself-
If this isn’t an endless circle of destruction, what ist
Unless the people wake tip to the menace of government
ownership of property and industry, they will find more of
their savings taken to finance political “hen houses, than
they will have left to build homes for themselves.
WHAT OF YOUR NAME?
Once we heard a lady, in a public address, urge young men
to safeguard their names, pointing out to them that it belongs
«ot to them alone but to all others, widely scattered, who bore
ft.
In everyday life we have frequent occasions to meet new
faces, and unconsciously, we judge the stranger by the name
he hears. Later, .perhaps, we revise the initial valuation, but
for a time, the worth of the name he hears justifies or con-
-denuu the unknown man.
The other day a lawyer in Castro county told us an inter-
esting occurance which illustrates the statements made above.
Two strangers walked into the lawyer’s office, discussing a
matter, and before leaving turned it over to him for atten-
tion. As the lawyer required a retainer in advance, he suggest-
ed to them that they make inquiries as to his reputation.
The visitors said this was unnecessary. The lawyer then
aaked them who had sent thpm to his office. The answer was
“No one.” The curiosity of the lawyer having been aroused,
he asked them the reason for their visit to him. when so many
others were available. The answer surprised him.
One of the visitors said: “I was in the army and served
under Capt.........- He was a fine man. straight as they
make them. I saw you had the same name and I decided to
••ome to you.—Castro County News.

By Their Words
AND OURS
.Several weeks ago the Review re-
printed a news Item appearing in
the Hereford Brand in its "A I»ng
Time Ago Column,” in which Items
of 10 and 20 years ago are printed,
concerning two boys who rigged
up sails on a buggy and rode
from Littlefield to Abernathy with
the aid of a swift wind. We ask-
ed for help in getting details of
the affair for publication. We
heard from numerous local folk
who had seen the contraption rid-
ing Into town, and the County
Wide News of Littlefield reprinted
our yelp for help, hoping to un-
ourth some news of it there. Last
week they got results. The fol-
lowing item telling of the event
appeared in their paper:
"Last week the County Wide
News asked for details of the re-
ported ‘buggy plane' ride from
Littlefield to Abernathy on March
13, 1014, and. along cornea Carl
Smith will the full data. Carl
says that Carey Warhurst and
Wallace Goodman were the boys
who made the ride by bugxy pow-
ered by a strong wind from the
west Carl made the 'sail' from
a large piece of oil cloth, which he
tacked to two upright beams at
the rear of the buggy. The shafts
and top were removed, and the
vehicle was guided by means of
a rope, each end of which was
tied to one end of the front axle.
The lK»ys started their ride about
the point where the water tank
now stands on Highway 7. When
they would come to a gate the
buggy would have to lie turned
either to the mirth or south lu
order to stop. This wus done
three times at as many gates. The
time required for the trip was
about two hours. The buggy be-
ef LitUafli
longed to Ben 8mtth of Littlefield,
and was left at a wagon yard in
Abernathy, and aa far aa Carl
knows it was never brought back
here. Mr. Willis, now of Olton,
father of C. E. Willis of this city,
brought the boys home.”—Aberna-
thy Review.

worse. Dust is had. A flood would
be worse. Dust is bad. A destruc-

resources would be worse. Dust

tie worse. Dust is bad. A war would
be worse. Dust is bad. A lethal
epidemic would be worse. Dust Is
had. Rut the worst duster falls far
i short of lielng as had as many
other things which can befall a

of pioneering in rebuilding the soil
of the Southwest.—Olln Hinkle,
