"Xow the increased cost of government is first taken right out of the wage earner's pay envelope or deducted from his pay check, and then is taken out of his take-home pay in the form of higher prices too. Money taken from Illinois to Washington in the form of federal taxes during tire next fiscal year from July l. 1952, to July 1, l'9f»3. will ^amount to over 51« billion dollars." As further evidence of the facti that it's the wage earner who is going to be hit increasingly hard if the cost of government continues to increase, Mahin pointed out that since the first incoirie tax law was passed in 1913. the minimum rate of the individual income tax has jumped from 1 per cent to 22.2 per cent.* while the maximum rate has jumped from 7 per cent to 92 per cent. In the same period, individual exemptions have shrunk fropi. $3,000 to $600. The number of individuals filing tax returns in the U. S. has risen from less than 400.000 to over 52 million. "Bitter experience has proved that there's only one way to halt increasing cost of our federal government and that's to put a ceiling on how much our federal government can spend," Mahin stated.

Unless trees go into win- j pears to serve merely as a match ter with sufficient water around their roots before the ground freezes, injury or even death by drought may result. Wind, ice and snow storms take a toll of trees in winter, toppling them over, or breaking branches and limbs. If a tree is conditioned properly by pruning out dead and dying wood, by cabling and bracing weak crotches and limbs, storm damage can be' held to a minimum. Not. all insects are dormant in winter. Bark beetles often crawl from the thick bark to the cambium layer on mild winter days and girdle a tree as they feed Elm bark beetles that carry Dutch elm disease present double trouble. For the fungus they carry builds up in the sap stream, and even in winter there is a certain pulsating of the sap that will send the disease further into a tree. It is just as harhiful to disturb a tree'* roots in the winter as in summer. Trees are frequently killed in winter by a careless bulldozer used in construction or by rqots mangled when a water main is laid or a sidewalk and driveway put in. Trucks and autos that bash into trees in winter can loosen or scrape off the bark as effectively as in the summer. Death even for trees takes no noliday.

Archaeologists have concluded anfong the earliest to whom the cave man passed his flaming torcli were the ancient dwellers of Mesopotamia where lamps, fashioned from terra cotta. were found to have been used during 7000-8000 B.C. Copper ahd bronze lamps were used by the Persians and Egyptians in 2700 B.C. Homer described a "Festival of Lamps" in 950 B.C. The Romans were using lanterns a century before Christ. The candlesticks of Biblical times and the lamps of the vestal virgins used animal and vegetable oils. Pliny mentioned the use of a mineral oil for lamps in 50 A.D.
