PUBLIC PULSE THE HODGE SCANDAL, In view of the Hodge scandal of a high state official one won- ,ders what goes on in govern- «ent -- local, state and federal. y contention is it all stinks and it is high time we do something to save ourselves from costly . government. First of all, the personal property tax is a challenge to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. This tax was ratified by the people in July of 1870. Most of these people are now dead and did not have the taxes we Jk-ive today. They tell us this Tax goes for roads, schools, bridges and parks on which we pay in our real estate tax. What do they use our gasoline tax and all other hidden taxes as on cars? Where does all the money on the 3 per cent sales tax go? As taxpayers we have' no proof of where this money goes. I say instead of voting on a blue ballot we should all write 4fo our state senators and representatives and raise heck to get this tax law abolished as soon as possible. I would personally challenge this law in the federal courts or the Supreme Court of the United. States. We had a meeting in the McHenry high school to discuss this tax and the supervisor of assessors says that we are a ^roup that favors the overthrow ^»f organized government. I would like to say, I favor throwing out of office organized politicians who think they can dictate to people like little Hitlers. Believe you me we have plenty of these fellows now. As Abraham Lincoln so ably put it, "All men are created with certain unalienable right to the pursuit of Life, Liberty and ^Happiness." -r ™ Every voter in the state of Illinois should ask himself •-- "Are we not right in questioning this tax law?" Let us break the taxes before the taxes break us. It is high time we put some honest business man in office who will have some integrity. Someone like Morris B. Sachs for governor -- a man I believe will clean out this gangster and ^oodlum alliance of politicians.

Most bankers are ever aware of the responsibility that is theirs in the community; they are in a position of great public trust, and deeply feel the need to keep the faith of the people they serve. The days of "wildcat" finance arid wild-eyed banks have long since faded into history, ,and in their place we find sound policy and professional men of the highest caliber. The American banking system is perhaps the strongest in the world -- a tribute to the men who comprise it. Edward J.

CARPENTIER Sccrcfary of State Undoubtedly you have become aware of the fact that there are more bicycles on the streets and highways now that the weather has become fairer and the streets free of snow and ice. And, as spring grows older, we can expect to see more and more bicycles take to the road. All of us derive a certain amount of pleasure from seeing the, youngsters enjoy themselves and at this time of the year cycling is tops in the entertainment field for many of them. Just the same, we must be aware of the obligation these cyclists present to the motorist. The youngster with a bike can sometimes easily, forget the rules of the road which he must follow and when that time comes it is up to the motorist to assume the youngster's obligations. When approaching a bicycle from the rear be especially alert as you attempt to pass MINOR ACCIDENT Cars driven by (j Harry Pierce | of the Ringwopd area and James | Maness of Lexington, Ky., colj lided Sunday night at the inter- ; section of Rtes. 14 and 47.

Seems he did a mite more than his share of imbibing. Finally reached the point where his wife lit into him and said. "McTavish. ye got to stop this drinkin' 'Tis gettin* to be a regular habit with ve!" To which McTavish replied, "Tis not a habit, woman, 'tis a gift." You may or may not agree about what's 'habit' and what'? 'gift' in this case, but one thing's for sure. All of us have cerj,ain habits, most of them formed simply bv getting used to doing things time after time in the same way Take washdays, for example We'll bet you've done your washing with hard water for so long that it's a habit. Maybe you don't know what a terrific difference it makes when you wash with soft water instead of hard water . . . and believe us. there's a difference. A big difference! You see, when hard water min»rals combine with soap, a n i n s o l u a b l e s u b s t a n c e " called 'soao curd' is formed. This curd lodsres in the fibres of fabrics and speeds breakdown. Makes clothing rough and sort of 'brittle' instead of soft and fluffy. Makes your white th'njfs permanently rrey and din^v. Not only is hard water bad for fabrics, but it makes you use 70% more soap to get suds. And that's expensive. For whiter washdays, less wear and tear on clothes, and big savings, too . . give us a call We'll analyze the water in vour home without cost. Tell you how hard it really is and give von details on what the wonderful new Zeo-Ran Automatic Water Softener can mean to you in luxury and in savings. Call ?oon.
