A BITE What Does Stalin Want? Are we interested in knowing how wc may please Stalin? In knowing what he wants us to do.7 As a people, intentionally or not, we manage to do most oi' these things. He is pleased with any evidence of disunity. Each time we separate into groups, and stand upon the rights of any particular group, we are pleasing Stalin. For it was by the aid of sucli groupings that he separated the people of the nations enslaved behind the Iron Curtain. He is pleased when we are complacent. A complacent people is a lazy people, slow to action, rocking away too comfortably to notice the tornado until it is upon them. We please Stalin with our over-confidence, with our feeling that we ca,n't be conquered. He is pleased when we are cynically critical of those whom we ourselves have chosen to represent us. Stalin knows that the best way to befuddle a leader is to keep criticising him. The best way to slow up action is to make a leader take off time to explain. We halt the wheels of progress when we pause to find fault or complain. He is pleased when we stop to bargain,. Those who won't join in action for tho common good until they have "theirs"— whether "theirs" be profits, wages, preferential treatment, or special advantages—are perfect followers of Stalin—millstones around the neck of the .nation—stumbling blocks in its path. lie is pleased when we allow hatreds to sway us, when we permit old resentments, fancied wrongs, unbiased prejudices to dominate our actions, setting class agains class, race against race, creed against creed. Stalin knows how this saps a nation's strength. He is pleased when we lack faith—when we allow the undercurrent of distrust to bog down our spirits, when we lose sight of the high goal before us. Stalin knows that a nation whose ideal is undermined, by doubt is half conquered. These are the ways in which we can please Stalin. But— is this what we want to do? #<y* <^M\iM^e^- VOL. 26- . 28 NORTH CANTON,, OHIO, WEDNESDAY,, APRIL 19, 1950 Go PER COPY North Canton Optimists to Install New Officers at Anniversary Dinner New officers of the North Carlton Optimist Club will be installed into office at their anniversary dinner to be held at the Middlebranch Grange Hall, on Wednesday, May 3. , Wives of the Optimists will be guests at the family style chicken linncr and a Barber Shop New Army Secretary Inducted Quartet will furnish part of the evening's ■entertainment. New officers to he installed include, Smith Witter as prcsidcut and Dale Gerber as vice president; the Board of Governors includes, Ray Schaffsr, Paul Sigeliiii.ier, Wayne Lear. Gordon Stumpf and Orlin \Vyant. On Wednesday, April 19, annual reports were made by all committee chairman. . Governor Iloltz, Past Governor Dalies and President McCullough of the Youngstown club were present. Mr. Harold Royer representative of "Redwood''' presented a very interesting- film on the lumber industry and the Redwood Forests. Tax the Untaxed A Denver Post columnist, P.nice Gustin, recently wrote on the wartime excise taxes which are still in effect, he said, "Secretary Snyder's suggestion for repeal o.f the 20 per cent tax on baby oils, powders, and lotions is fine. Cutting the 20 per cent tax on furs, luggage, handbags, jewelry and cosmetics to 10 percent would be a big help. So would repeal of the three percent tax on freight charges, cutting the 25 per cent tax on long distance telephone calls to 15 percent* a.nd reducing the 15 percent Lax on railroad, bus and airline tickets to 10 percent. But more relief should be given. "Certainly the transportation tax should be repealed . . . Any punitive tax on business in peace time is abhorrent. The 15 per cent tax on local telephone service and the 20 percent tax on theatre tickets should be repealed, also.. "Secretary Snyder also proposed that the corporation tax of 38 percent be boosted to 42 percent on business income in excess of $25,000. That would be an economic crime. If revenue lost through repeal or reduction of excise taxes must be provided, the way fo get it is by TAKINC THE UNTAXED! Take away the exemptions of the giant co-ops, educational institutions and other organizations which are operating business and industrial enterprises on a tax-free basis in competition with heavily taxed private owned business." The excise taxes are an unjust and unnecessary burden on every consumer, every retailer, and on workers and producers in many important fields, deduction in percentages would be only a halfway measure—total repeal is the proper action. The sooner we get rid of them, the better off the country will be.

THE SEVEN SISTERS TO BE GIVEN AT JACKSON APRIL 28 Jackson Township Band parents and the P.T.A. will present a 3 act comedv "The Seven Sisters," Friday, April 2Xth at 8 p.m. in school auditorium. Mrs. P. R. Baird is :dir3cting the cast of local talent. Time is running out—and so is coal! Congress has provided a great deal of yakkety-yak this session but not a single major bill has been passedi. Everyone would like to see a little action—on the coal front! • Recent events—whatever the future may bring—certainly pounds home the need for action with volcanic force. Tt is clear that the coal miners think nothing of defying the government, the courts, the law, and the security of the country. These are the inevitable fruits of the union's long established tactics of disruption, economic dictatorship; and callous disregard of the public interest. In any upheaval such as this, changing day by day events tend to obscure the basic issue. The New York World-Tele gram qamo to the point when it said, "The fact is that the problem of national emergency strikes remains unsolved. And, in every thinking person's mind is the same thought— it will not be solved until Congress .deals with, it at its root in the monopoly power of unions to place their own activities above national welfare, health and safety." That is the big thing, whether or not the Taft-Hartley law is repealed. One union has virtual monopoly over all coal labor. Every miner must belong to it, pay dues to it, and obey its orders, or he can't work. So longvas such a rmonoply exists the whole country will be af the .none-too-tender mercies of this small, infinitely powerful group. Don't let our Congressmen forget this and place it on the shelf in Committee until another.crisis in-the-coal situation arises, Music Organizations at High School To Present Concert Friday Night The music organizations of North Canton schools will present a concert Friday evening under the direction of Mr. Shelby Davis.
