tion steps that put the farmers back on their feet.
Not many days ago a local business man asked the ques-
tion: "Ha\< '.he results Iteen worth all of the expense?" ;
Naturally, everyone is interested in the answer to that
question. We answered this particular business man. possi-
bly impolitely, by asking this question: "Would you rather
ewe one dollar for taxes and not Ih> able to pay them or two
dollars and be able to pay?"
One does not need an extraordinary memory to recall
the serious economic condition which existed in this country
in 19.>2 and 1933. No one had any idea where we were
headed or what to expect. Revolution was rumored. Busi-
ness, frankly, had thrown up its hands. And. as a result,
millions were jobless and practically every business firm
was operating at a loss. That is fact, not fancy.
Look at some of these same business firm- in Guthrie
and Logan county today. Some men who were out of work
two years ago are operating successful institutions today. I
Others that were losing money < . tv day they operated in
1932 and 1933 are expanding the; -tores and realizing pro-

The Daily Oklahoman and the Oklahoma City Times,
who have been so loudly bewailing governmental exj»endi-
lures, published some mighty skimpy edition- back in 1932
and 1933. And today their pages art' crowded with profit-
able advertising. National publications. - ich as Colliers ami
Saturday Evening Post, have hail similar < xperiences. And!
yet these same publications think they are being "smart" in
criticising the government's program of reconstruction and
rehabilitation that has made it possible for them to get back
on their feet again and for business to carry on as it should

FIFTH DISTRICT CONGRESSION AL TIMBER
"Mrs. George .1 Martin. Guthrie, former vice-chairman
of the Democratic state central committee, and one of the
most |H>pular and effective political organizers and speakers
in the state, is not a candidate for any political position,"
observes Harlow's Weekly, state periodical published in Okla-
homa City, in a recent issue.
This observation was published alter Mrs. Martin de-
clared she had never been an avowed candidate for any o
lice, referring particularly to that of Democratic national
eomniitteewon; in, following the assertion by several news-,
'apers and state house pt litieians that she would be a can-'
uidate for that position.
It is true that Mrs. Martin gave out no statement to war-,
rant the use of her name. It is also true, as Harlow’s pointed
out, that "having .just retired from state committee service
with a notable record of attainment, she has no desire to be-1
come involved in further political considerations."
However, the fifth congressional district has some ex-
cellent timber lor the I’nited States congress in the person
of Mrs. Martin. It is highly probable, of course, that she
v.ould not permit herself to lx> drafted as a fifth district con-
gressional candidate. But this district would l>e assured ot

Xew 'lax Outlook
It is regarded as practically set-
tled that processing taxes siniihu
to those under tin- defunct three
As will be utilized to provide a
major part of the additional reve-
nues.
The likelihood is that these taxes
will be sptead tat ther, over a wid-
er range of commodities, taking in

duct that lias to go through any
manufacturing process between the

of the bevs is that the consumers
won t notice.
A strong movement is under way
to revise tlie income tax laws so
as to draw directly upon incomes
down to Jsiin a year. Politically
this is not well liked, especially in
view of the fai t that an income tax
on al! wages and salaries is already
on the statute books under the So-
cial Security Act. to take effect at
the beginning of 1937. Some heavier
inheritance taxes will doubtless be
included in the new set tin.

vantage of the situation by trying
