There’s quite a difference the other day from a stranger CLARENCE J.J5ROWN Writes With a Buckeve In Conerress In a message to the Congress last week, President Truman sug­ gested a reduction o f about $750 million a year in war-time ex-* cise tax, providing that loss o f revenue I s made up through plugging loopholes in present tax laws, and that in addition Congress increase Federal taxes by an additional one billion dol- __ lars a year on corporations, es- j^] tates and gifts. The President did not specify just what excise tax rates should be reduced or how much. Neither did he suggest by what percentages present corpor­ ation, estate and g ift taxes „ . , n , should be increased.

THE WEATHER Even the radio with hourly re­ ports has trouble keeping up with the pranks o f the weather man, so what’s an editor of a weekly newspaper to do about it? Those o f us at home sweat under close to a month of unseasonably hot weather, with tho records shat­ tered by upper 70’s and home 80’s fo r the week of Jan. 22-28. Birds and bees and flowers took the cue to get in on the act. Then Boreas turned on his blasts and N ew Type iJiHE CHURCH AT ANTIOCH, one q £ the great commercial cities of the Roman world, was where we Gentiles came in. The writer is indebted to his former teacher. Dr. Charles Erdman, for noting four ways in which that church in Antioch was something new. They had no Old Testament, they knew nothing of the Old Testament sacrifices, they had no interest in the Temple or in the history of Israel. Like most Gentiles, they had usually thought of the Jew as a quaint hut unimportant m i n o r i t y group. Now that these Gentiles were in the same church with Jews, there would be plenty of room for trouble. Could a church made up of such 1 / the mercury skiddaddlcd back different races become a true down the tube to the bulb, and Brotherhood?

A great portion o f this tax burden consists o f hidden taxes. The price, you pay fo r a loaf o f bread includes 150 com cealed taxes totalling about five cents. Hidden taxes on a quart o f milk average 8 c; 25c to 75c a pound on meat; 1 1 c on a gallon o f gasoline; 12 c on a pack o f cigarettes; 50c on a pair o f $1.50 hose; $ 1,00 on a pair o f baby shoes; $75.00 on a $225.00 re­ frigerator, and from $375.00 to with considerably less fire hazard, $500,00 on the lower priced auto- although any petroleum product mobile. . can bum if it is brought in contact It is the “ little fellow” with with a source of ignition, an income o f $ 5 , 000.00 a year, a small amount of solver* or less, who carries the najor is to be used the work can be done part o f the nation’s tax load, indoors safely enough.

The nitrogen fertilizer which will arrive early in February,-will be limited to one ton per farmer for use on corn, tobacco, wheat, oats, meadows*and permanent pastures. The objectives of the demon­ strations is to set a pattern of good usuage and to determine *the value of "using straight ni­ trogen, in addition to regular ap­ plications of normal amounts of complete fertilizers. Interested farmers shuld call the county agent’s office. Farm Prices Below Parity . Prices received by farmers in _ December averaged only 98 per­ cent of parity. This is the first time since November 1941 that farm prices have been belotf par­ ity. . . Growing surpluses, c o u p 1fed with declining foreign' markets have pulled prices of many farm commodities down to or below support levels promised by gov­ ernment. Farmers will move in 1950 not only with a lower price lev.el but with lower support lev­ els for many products. New Farm Parity Formula A new standard “modernized parity” has been used fo r mea­ suring prices o f farm products since the first of this year. It replaces the old parity formula which has been used since 1922. The government first started to use it in 1933 in measuring farm prices and in attempting to give them purchasing power equal to that of the 1909-14 period. The new parity formula will set up somewhat higher parity prices for livestock and livestock products and lower ones for crops. The difference reflect in the main the fact that modern machinery has reduced the cost of. producing most crops, while higher wages have boosted the cost of producing livestock. Strike Cuts Supplies Government farm experts re­ port a critical shortage o f pot­ ash this spring caused by a strike tying up most of the output of this vital plant nutrient. Present stocks are about half the amount needed f o r spring planing and this will result in short supplies o f complete fertilizers with ample potash. The walkout which began last November at Carlsbad, N. M., cut o ff an estimated 85 percent o f U. S. potash output. In pre­ war years, potash was imported from Germany, but the major producing area is now in the Russian occupied area. Whatever else can be found to fuss over in Truman’s budget, the Big Three are subsidies, spending and taxes.
