This" wiM hardest year but wpv SALES TAX IN NEW YORK It looks like Governor Mike Conner's recent speech up in New York has put a few folks thinking on the subject of taxation. Senator Seabury Mastick, chairman of the New York legislative tax revision commission, says he is going to submit to Governor-Elect Herbert Lehman in February a summary of the retail sales tax plan, showing how much it might yield to the treasury of that state at various percentage rates. A tax of one per cent in that state, he says, would bring in about $40,000,000 per annum. Senator Mastick is himself noncommittal on the merits of the plan. He is merely going to give the new Governor the needed information so in event the latter should decide it Is needed to balance the budget the facts will be available.

Of course. Governor Conner's trip to New York may not have had a blessed thing to do with it, and then again it might There is nothing new about the sales tax. It has been frequently resorted to in other nations, and now exists in a modified form in Canada.

Lincoln Scouts Under New Heads After making a new start bus COME AND GONE Christmas has come and gone. To the youngsters it will seem an age before the coming of the next Yuletide, but to the older folk it will be Christmas time again before they hardly realize it. It is a happy season for all of us. It brings a feeling to older people that is hard to describe. It provides abundant and unbounding joy to the little fellows.

It is a pity that the spirit that pervades the Christmas holidays cannot be extended throughout the year. What a wonderful world this would be! The desire to do something for someone else; the wish to make others happy; the willingness to share wThat little we have with those who have even less. Christmas brings out the best there is in us. Christmas this year in McComb was a great occasion for old and young alike. Despite the "hard times" happiness was unconfined.

Two thousand children of needy families were present at the community trees where gifts-were distributed to them. These trees had been provided through the generosity of McComb people who, despite the "depression," had contributed more liberally than ever before for this purpose. Older folk were cared for through the "adopt-a-famly" movement, the King's Daughters, the Good Samaritan Home, and other charitable bodies. No one in need wTas overlooked.

The streets in the business section presented as much activity as in the good old days, and everybody seemed to be happy. This Despite the depression and cry of hard times, there was joy and lots of it in the George Jamieson home on Virginia Avenue Friday afternoon, December 23rd. The occasion was a Christmas tree, given by Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson, for the benefit of their little friends.

Santa Claus was present in person, whiskers, "big tummy," and everything, and to say that the children were happy well, that's too mild a word for it. The Jamiesons, who are childless, made it an annual custom to give a Christmas tree for the little folk of their acquaintance for several years. They were assisted in their entertainment of the little fellows by their mother, Mrs. Ponder, and Old Santa Claus himself. The children look forward with eager anticipation to this event, always assured that great things are in store for them at the Jamieson home.

It is doubtful, however, whether they get more pleasure on these occasions than do Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson, who are happiest when surrounded by the children of their many McComb friends.
