XLIII NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2:3, VSi-i No. I Borough Fathers Meet ^ In Adjourned Session; Bids Are Rejected An adjourned meeting of Naza¬ reth Borough Council was held on Monday evening in the Municipal building with J. A. Schaeffer, presi¬ dent of council, presiding. The bonds of the borough treasur¬ er and tax collector, Wilmer Heyer and Richard Orlfllth, respectively, were read and approved by council. While tnis meeting had been call¬ ed primarily for the purpose of receiving bida for a new flre truck for the borough, a discrepancy In the matter of advertising for bids thru an apparent oversight on the part of the Flre Committee, a mo¬ tion was passed to return all bids to the bidders and re-advertise for new bids with the necessary changes to be made In the submission of the same. The question as to the legality of the bids asked for hinged upon the fact as to whether or not the man¬ ufacturer or d^ler submitting a successful bid would furnish a bond for five thousand dollars for the life or during the use of the appar¬ atus mvolved. Thus guaranteeing to replace any defective parts. Af¬ ter a careful study of the situation the Flre Committee found that it was not only unreasonable to expect any manufacturer or dealer to post any bond covering such a guarantee for longer than a one or two year period, as long as it complies with the present automobile code. This matter is now in the hands of the Flre Committee and will pos¬ sibly be submitted to council again at their "tiext regular session. With all bids on hand now returned to the respective bidders, new bids will possibly be necessary before any deal can be consumated.

PROTECTION FOR THE WAGE EARNER Recent sUtlstlcs show that life Insurance is maintaining the rate of improvement in sales which sUrted at the beginning of the year. Reports for early summer months indicate that Insurance sales are avoiding the seasonal decUne that affects most business. During June for example, a number ot states showed an advance of 67 per cent in sales as compared with the same month in 1933. Only three 8ta|»8 reported drops. Of equal interest Is the fact that the most notable increase, on a percentage basis, is beUig made hi sales policies of the annuity and investment type. The investment aspect of life Insurance Is graduaUy Ukmg precedence ov^ oOtwr aspects. More and more persons are coming to realize that, essential as life Insurance Is a protection for de¬ pendents in the event of the wage earner's death, it is eoually essen¬ tial for protecting one's self against potential economic disasters In the future. Life insurance fits the needs and means of the great bulk of American wage-earners whose incomes are In the middle and lower earning brackets. It wUl create an estate for workers, guarantee education for their chUdren and assure them and their families a definite income for Ufe, after the period of maximum earning power is past.

Hecktown, RECOVERY ENEMY NUMBER ONE The Louisville Courier Journal recently published a cartoon show¬ ing a frightened figure of a man. labeled "Taxpayer." walking along a dark street. Lurking in doorways, preparing to spring upon him, were a number of hold-up artists, named i "Bureaucracy," "Waste." "Spoils¬ man." and "Political Expediency." I That cartoon Is not at all far- I fetched. So far as the average citizen is concerned, predatory tax- I ation and officialism Is Recovery j Enemy Number 1—no highwaymen , ever lived who could equal their depradatlons. They take money that would otherwise be invested— and thus stifle purchasing power. They take money that would be spent for a thousand and one necessities and luxuries—and thus keep our commerce and trade in the doldrums. Today government—federal, state and local—takes about 30 per cent of the national Income, and some authorities place the percentage much higher than that.. In other words, at least 30 cents out of every dollar you earn U not yours to spend. A great percentage of It goes to feed predatory tax eaters and ofBclaUsm, either directly, through Income, property, license and similar taxes, or indirectly, through hidden taxes on the things you wear, eat and use. It Is lost to productive enterprise—to the businesses which provide Jobs and opportunities for employment and investment, and which, if aUowed to develop normally, would create new sources for taxation. If the present trend continues. It won't be long until that 30 percent becomes 40, 30 or 60 per cent. And when that time comes, we will all gradually become wards of govern¬ ment—private industry wUl have been literally starved to death, con¬ fiscated by taxation, and the tax- fed bureaucrat will reign supreme.

The local organization has pledged one hundred Jars to the cause, while the National Legion"i aim is one million Jars of Jelly and Jam. Thats a lot of bread cover¬ ing and It sure does taste good with a cup of coflee. This jelly-making bee, sponsored by the American Legion to preserve the summers fruit for the needy this winter, is a splendid idea and there is no doubt but that the mem¬ bers will meet the quota.

RIGHTS OF INVESTORS FINALLY RECOGNIZED Investors in electric light and power companies — hundreds of thousands of men and women who worked and sweated and slaved to accumulate savings on which they lioped to secure a safe and moder¬ ate return—have had little or no consideration by politicians seek¬ ing to curry public favor and votes through a campaign to discredit the private electric industry as a whole publicly-financed, tax exempt power projects. To justify their attack on private investments, the politicians assert that state regulation of private electric companies has been a failure. Thoy intimate that public service commissioners are subject to the domination of private com panics. By innuendo, they lead the public to believe that the personal of the commissions is dishonest and subject to ulterior influences. Gen¬ erally speaking, the commis-sions of the country have lacked the courage to resent these attacks. They have taken a licking lying down. It has remained for the Mas¬ sachusetts Department of Public Utilities, in a recent decision, to show its teeth to the Insidious pro¬ paganda against fair rates when It dismissed rate reduction applica¬ tions directed against the New England Telephone Company, It took courage to do this because Finances of Organ¬ izations Used To Pro¬ mote School Activitii There are fifteen different organl- means of the M*g^illit FUBd. zatlons in the Nazareth Senior | proximately $196 was spent High School each engaged In pro-1 from this fund for mi moling some specific activity.

Jusf Imagine what fair and con¬ structive decisions along this line would mean to other parts of the country. The beneficial effects ^^uld be too far reaching to enumerate. Every person and industry would share in them. Instead of that, we have witness¬ ed a crusade of persecution in re¬ gulatory activities against public utilities. In addition to seeking confiscatory rate reductions which result In expensive court actions, i it has become popular to pass laws loading onto the private companies the cost of state commission rate hearings which may be instigated by the various commissions at will.! In this way it has been possible fori stale commissions to wipe out sur¬ pluses that were earned on rea.son- able rates and should have been paid to .stockholders. The commis¬ sions have attempted to take over the maiiagement functions'of the companieh without a.s.suming any liability whatever for loss to stock¬ holders. The practice of a.s.scsslng the conipanios for slate commLssion ex- I poiises has been carried lo the ex¬ treme. Stockholders would have an action against a priv.ite company for misuse of their funds. The que.>tlon is now being asked whether ttv slockholdess may not have an action against conimi.--sions or soni- nii.'-.sioners for excessive drain on ronipany earnings to maintain end- les.-. coninii.sslon hearings and keep employed numerous public employes al the expense of the compiinies. wirh no benefits or protection to the stockholder.-, whose money is being used in this manner, or bet¬ terment of the service to the gen¬ eral public. The Massachu.setts decision is heartening. It is a definite turnj away from radical policies which have been ruthlessly destroying capital, earnings and savings, and i preventing investments which are, needed for future development. • CAMP FIRE GIRLS RETURN FRO.M VACATION /AT LAKE MINEOLA music required by the clubs is pur¬ chased by them. The Assembly Fund comes from contributions by students for the purpose of having lyceum programs at assembly. For a number of years, past we have had five or six lyceum attractions each year. These at¬ tractions are contracted for by the principals of the high schools with lyceum bureau. The cost of these is defrayed by having the students contribute ten cents apiece for each attraction. This is usually more than is required for one attraction The surplus is permitted to accumu¬ late in this fund until tAere Is en¬ ough to pay for one program. Then a program is given withov*' a contri¬ bution from students. No money is ever diverted from this fund to anj other u.se. The magazines and books of fic¬ tion in our Ubrary are supplied by ed by the school treasurer who to • member of the faculty and bondad for the faithful performanoe aC duty. Some of these funds are In Intar* est bearing accounts, and tlw ttt* terest derived to used to defray tlH expenses connected with the tlon of the system, such as the of the treasurer, record books, eta. When the amount of accumulated interest becomes suflteiently laffi to make It worthwhile It wlU elttMT be divided on a pro rata basto amoot tbe organisations or devoted t* some worthy school purpose.

I Borough Fathers Meet ^ In Adjourned Session;
Bids Are Rejected
An adjourned meeting of Naza¬ reth Borough Council was held on Monday evening in the Municipal building with J. A. Schaeffer, presi¬ dent of council, presiding.
The bonds of the borough treasur¬ er and tax collector, Wilmer Heyer and Richard Orlfllth, respectively, were read and approved by council.
While tnis meeting had been call¬ ed primarily for the purpose of receiving bida for a new flre truck for the borough, a discrepancy In the matter of advertising for bids thru an apparent oversight on the part of the Flre Committee, a mo¬ tion was passed to return all bids to the bidders and re-advertise for new bids with the necessary changes to be made In the submission of the same.
The question as to the legality of the bids asked for hinged upon the
fact as to whether or not the man¬ ufacturer or d^ler submitting a successful bid would furnish a bond for five thousand dollars for the life or during the use of the appar¬ atus mvolved. Thus guaranteeing to replace any defective parts. Af¬ ter a careful study of the situation the Flre Committee found that it was not only unreasonable to expect any manufacturer or dealer to post any bond covering such a guarantee for longer than a one or two year period, as long as it complies with the present automobile code.
This matter is now in the hands of the Flre Committee and will pos¬ sibly be submitted to council again at their "tiext regular session. With all bids on hand now returned to the respective bidders, new bids will possibly be necessary before any deal can be consumated.

PROTECTION FOR THE WAGE EARNER
Recent sUtlstlcs show that life Insurance is maintaining the rate of improvement in sales which sUrted at the beginning of the year. Reports for early summer months indicate that Insurance sales are avoiding the seasonal decUne that affects most business. During June for example, a number ot states showed an advance of 67 per cent in sales as compared with the same month in 1933. Only three 8ta|»8 reported drops.
Of equal interest Is the fact that the most notable increase, on a percentage basis, is beUig made hi sales policies of the annuity and investment type. The investment aspect of life Insurance Is graduaUy Ukmg precedence ov^ oOtwr aspects. More and more persons are coming to realize that, essential as life Insurance Is a protection for de¬ pendents in the event of the wage earner's death, it is eoually essen¬ tial for protecting one's self against potential economic disasters In the future.
Life insurance fits the needs and means of the great bulk of American wage-earners whose incomes are In the middle and lower earning brackets. It wUl create an estate for workers, guarantee education for their chUdren and assure them and their families a definite income for Ufe, after the period of maximum earning power is past.

RECOVERY ENEMY
NUMBER ONE
The Louisville Courier Journal recently published a cartoon show¬ ing a frightened figure of a man. labeled "Taxpayer." walking along a dark street. Lurking in doorways, preparing to spring upon him, were a number of hold-up artists, named i "Bureaucracy," "Waste." "Spoils¬ man." and "Political Expediency." I That cartoon Is not at all far- I fetched. So far as the average citizen is concerned, predatory tax- I ation and officialism Is Recovery j Enemy Number 1—no highwaymen , ever lived who could equal their depradatlons. They take money that would otherwise be invested— and thus stifle purchasing power. They take money that would be spent for a thousand and one necessities and luxuries—and thus keep our commerce and trade in the doldrums.
Today government—federal, state and local—takes about 30 per cent of the national Income, and some authorities place the percentage much higher than that.. In other words, at least 30 cents out of every dollar you earn U not yours to spend. A great percentage of It goes to feed predatory tax eaters and ofBclaUsm, either directly, through Income, property, license and similar taxes, or indirectly, through hidden taxes on the things you wear, eat and use. It Is lost to productive enterprise—to the businesses which provide Jobs and opportunities for employment and investment, and which, if aUowed to develop normally, would create new sources for taxation.
If the present trend continues. It won't be long until that 30 percent becomes 40, 30 or 60 per cent. And when that time comes, we will all gradually become wards of govern¬ ment—private industry wUl have been literally starved to death, con¬ fiscated by taxation, and the tax- fed bureaucrat will reign supreme.

The American Legion Auxiliary members are busy making jelly and fams. The local organization has pledged one hundred Jars to the cause, while the National Legion"i aim is one million Jars of Jelly and Jam. Thats a lot of bread cover¬ ing and It sure does taste good with a cup of coflee.
This jelly-making bee, sponsored by the American Legion to preserve the summers fruit for the needy this winter, is a splendid idea and there is no doubt but that the mem¬ bers will meet the quota.

RIGHTS OF INVESTORS FINALLY RECOGNIZED
Investors in electric light and power companies — hundreds of thousands of men and women who worked and sweated and slaved to accumulate savings on which they lioped to secure a safe and moder¬ ate return—have had little or no consideration by politicians seek¬ ing to curry public favor and votes through a campaign to discredit the private electric industry as a whole publicly-financed, tax exempt power projects.
To justify their attack on private investments, the politicians assert that state regulation of private electric companies has been a failure. Thoy intimate that public service commissioners are subject to the domination of private com panics. By innuendo, they lead the public to believe that the personal of the commissions is dishonest and subject to ulterior influences. Gen¬ erally speaking, the commis-sions of the country have lacked the courage to resent these attacks. They have taken a licking lying down.
It has remained for the Mas¬ sachusetts Department of Public Utilities, in a recent decision, to show its teeth to the Insidious pro¬ paganda against fair rates when It dismissed rate reduction applica¬ tions directed against the New England Telephone Company, It took courage to do this because

utUitles must seU stock at not less than par and the com¬ mission held that no rate reduction was Justified when the company could not pay dividends that would maintain its stock at least at a par level.
Jusf Imagine what fair and con¬ structive decisions along this line would mean to other parts of the country. The beneficial effects ^^uld be too far reaching to enumerate. Every person and industry would share in them.
Instead of that, we have witness¬ ed a crusade of persecution in re¬ gulatory activities against public utilities. In addition to seeking confiscatory rate reductions which result In expensive court actions, i it has become popular to pass laws loading onto the private companies the cost of state commission rate hearings which may be instigated by the various commissions at will.! In this way it has been possible fori stale commissions to wipe out sur¬ pluses that were earned on rea.son- able rates and should have been paid to .stockholders. The commis¬ sions have attempted to take over the maiiagement functions'of the companieh without a.s.suming any liability whatever for loss to stock¬ holders.
The practice of a.s.scsslng the conipanios for slate commLssion ex- I poiises has been carried lo the ex¬ treme.
