TAXATION AM) THK COST OF I.IVINO One sano step toward lowering the cost of living Is the Introduction In congress of a icsolutlon calling for a reduction nf one billion dollars In federal taxes In a year. It Is pto poscd to accomplish this by making ian equal reduction In federal expend itures. The cost of living for each family Is not only determined by the prices that It Is necessary to pay for food, clothing nnd other necessary com modities, and fqr rent, light and oth er features of home life, but also by regularly. Taxes must bo provided for first and what remains can bo spent on things necessary to life. If taxes arc high, there Is less tnone) to onend for food, clothing, etc. High taxes also make the cost of living higher by causing an Increase In tho price of articles bought.

NILK8 RETURN HOJUi H. H. Martens of near Gray was n Beaver business caller Monday. While here ho called at this office and re newed his subscription. Ue told us of a loss he suffered last, week when his granary, which was tilled with wheat, was struck by lightning .The building and about 350 bushels ot -wheat was a complete loss, but for tunately, the wheat was covered by Insurance. Somo wheat was saved but It was unfit for marketing ex cept for feed. Mr. Martens was feel ing fortunate that he had the grain Insured since it was only because he was anticipating leaving tho farm on which it was stored that he had it insured. We venture another time ho'll insure whether anticipating leaving or not, for the call was close to lose this time. One can't tell about these fires. There are so many ' chances to lose that one can scarcely afford to take the risk. Better be safe than sorry. No, we don't write Insurance bat we are strong for it. Beaver relatives and friends were mado to rejoice Sunday when Luclen Wright, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Wright, of Beaver; and Le under Nlles brother of Mrs. A. G. Thomas and of Harry -Nlles, of Beav er, returned from sorvlce overseas. Both of tho young men were In the thick of the fight but fortunately came through without serious dis ability. They enlisted In the early day a of the war and were fortunate In being able to serve close together, so that they could visit for brief per iods often. Both were orderlies. The Herald Is delighted to note the safe return of these young men. Welcome, thrice welcome home, boys.

Personally, we are of tho opinion that all taxes will bo higher. It remains to bo seen. Id the mean time we can only hope for the best. The salient characteristics of the Dort ' can be summed up in three sentences. First, it is a car that needs service attention but very infrequently. Second, when it does seem desirable) to give the Dort a "going over" you can do it yourself easily, quickly, and inexpensively because of the marked simplicity and accessibility of Dort construction. ,Tttird, its mileage per set of tires, gallon of gasoline, and quart of oil is perceptiDiy higher than common.
