THE FORGOTTEN ANANIAS
Hy Hrtico Hnrton
YEAHS AGO a chicken thief committed a series of robberl
SOME
on big uslatcs outsllo New York Ho got away with some very
fancy stock
Finally ono of the gentleman fanners whom wo shall call Van
Norton hired a private deiectlvo and caught tho miscreant
Sitting in a New York club n few nights later Van Norton received
tho congratulations of his neighbors You did a flno thing thoy
said Now wo hope youll send tho rascal over the road for a good
long stretch
What do you mean send him ovor tho road Van Norton asked
Why prosecute him Send him to jail
Prosecute him I dont intend to prosecute him
They woro incredulous Surely youro going to see that ho is
punished for all tho loss and worry he has caused us
Just a minute Van Norton responded quietly Suppose I do
prosecute him Suppose I get a conviction and a Jail sentence What
will happen Ten years from now my namo will bo montlonod in a
gathering such as this and somebody will say vaguely Van Norton
Van Norton Lots see Wasnt ho mixed up In somo chicken stoaling
business a little while ago
It is n curious fact of human naturo that wo forgot tho best in
our fellow men while a single stain of scandal clings to our memories
forever
i If 1 were to mention to any reader of this newspaper tho name
Judas he would tell mo Immediately who Judas was Ho was tho
treacherous apostlo tho betrayer of his Lord
If 1 woro to mention tho name of Ananias I should got a response
almost ns prompt Ananias Why Ananias was tho man who claimed
to have sold all his property and turned the proceeds ovor to tho
apostles But ho held some of it backandfor tolling that Ho ho was
Btruck dead He was the prince of liars
But how many readers remember this story
disciple What was tho disciples namo Judas
Another disciple was sent to Paul to minister to his needs What
was his namo Annnias
Everybody remembers Judas the betrayer and Ananias the liar
Nobody remembers tho other Judns and tho other Ananias cjulct an
solflsh men who aided Paul In his hour of need and helped to start
him on his great career
A very wise and good frlond of mine had a motto Said ho
Every man has a right to bo Judged by his host
Will some psychologist explain why it Ih so hard for us to remem
ber the best
And so easy to remember the worMV

for accident prevention the police may seek unremittingly to enforce
it schools may teach safety and associations may advocate it
but really effective results cun novor be obtained until the American
home is enlisted wholohearledly in the causo
The home is tho keystone of the Nations safety arch It is tho
first line of offense aguinst an enemy which annually kills 100000 por
sons injures 3000000 or moro and produces an economic loss running
into the millions
Nearly onethird of tho GGOOOO accident fatalities of the last decade
actually Happened in the homes says Dr Herbrt 1 Stack Supervisor
of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters
That In itself should awaken every household to tho necessity of bettor
housekeeping better euro of young children and bettor safeguards
There is an iueseaj able duty lesting upon Iho heads of tho nations
tamiiico In tho last analysis they have tho responsibility of
teaching safety habits and attitudes to tho children What tho child absorbs
In the home colors lis aftorllfo and If lessons there aro lax the
child will he found deficient when it comes to siV oty problems of our
modern civilization
Accidents are a serious menace to our national life and far reaching
in their elfecls Surely something is wrong when In a single ten
years tho lives of moro than half a million persons onefltth of whon
are childen can lie smiird out As bad as wars are if wo add together

THE SALES TAX
GENERAL SALES tax on every comnuxMly except tho staple food
stuffs appears to bo inescapable Revenue must bo ralsod to pay tho
iiijiuus running expenses und thoro aro few sources of taxation that
will not have run dry bofoio the mounting cost of government will have
been met
The sales tax is a rathor painless way cC making everybody pay his
or her share of governmental costs If it Is levied in such a way that
overybody who buys anything realizes that part of tho purchase prliw
joes for taxes it may have the effect of making the ordinary citizen
taxconscious and hat will be a good thing
The ultimate consumer pays tho taxes now but he doesnt know i <
The averago man thinks there Is somo way of taxing the rich which
cannot bo passed on by the rich to tho poor Thoro isnt any such yj
torn possible nnd tho sooner that Is generally realized that all taxes
bear heaviest upon the retail purchaser whether ho buys a pair of
shoes an automobile or tho rent of a homo tho sooner tho ordinary
man will begin to take an interest In public affairs and demand more
officioncy for his tax money nnd greater economy In public office

ljFALr OVERDOING A GOOD THING
1TJ
GOOD MANY STATE legislative officers seem to look on tho
olino tax as a godsend when it comes to raising revenue for
gas
any
and all purposes
of taxes has intensified
from other kinds
Tho decline In rovenuo
taxes bo used for unomploy
this trend Now It is advocated that gas
state and so on All of these
niont relief poor relief general purposes
purposes aro no doubt laudable and somo aro neccssarybut it is < If
icult to understand why tho bill should bo passed on to the otoriBt
tho word reasonahlo all
A reasonable gas taxwlth stress on
of whoso receipts are used for road work is sound and It is accepted
aa essential by the majority of motorists But when the gas tax goes
derived is applied n other
beyond certain levels or when the revenue
directions it becomes class taxation of tho most onerous kind Taxes
pf five arid six and seven cents a gallon aro becoming alarmingly pre
Tal6 Tho upshot of the matter will probably be a motorists revolt
The public must make itself felt in no uncertain way If It Is to keep
be marauding handB of the gastaxors out of its pocketbook
