"Taxation,” he proceeded, "is . primarily, intended to cover state and munreipal essential expendi tures. That we have drifted a long way frdtn the original intentiori^is becoming more and more apparent. The bprden of taxation imposed by our numerous governing bodies has grown to the point where it con sumes capital resources, saps ener gy and enterprise, discourages in- , dustry, production .and construc tion, and thereby, increases unem ployment.’ Taxing bodies are begin ning to realize that, unless taxes are reduced by effecting economies in public expenditures, the source 'of taxation will, ultimately be.dried up.” .

During these weeks, the .annual “hiring fairs” are held, and farm and other em ployes start on a new year. The mountain’villages of -Wales celebrate the corning of the hiring fairs with the “Parting of the Ways” festival to mark the actual end of the1 yearly . contract between the farmer and his . hired hands-and servants. The occasion is similar to Hallow e’en in the United States before in some sections it-became an excuse for hooliganism. Every one at ’the. Welsh celebrations runs wild. Prac tical jokes are played, along with games such> as ducking for apples. Boys and girls masquerade, and e play tricks upon, the oldsters sitting around peat fires. , . - The hiring fair is itself serious. For example, in the resort and uni versity /town of Aberystwyth farm-' ers'-a.nd young men and women ser- * vants come in,-for the fair and as semble under the Town Clock. Dur- ing„_the morning • they ^eeojTy^TlTeTh-" selves profitably by-comparing notes with their friends on previous jobs.

As soon a js struck, the servant vcCvr'l leaves the Town Clock, sig nifying that he ^io longer is orr the market. The contract between farni- •Fi and hired hand is considered binding as soon- as the “ern” (a ?amall amount of money) has chang- . «d hands; Waj*es arc partly based, on the barter system.
