But a little thought proves that actually it is net, To begin with. Christmas will be over in less than five weeks As a clincher, toys manufactured for the 1937 trade are being exhibitet by the Toy Makers' Association. A preview of what will be carried in Santa Claus' pack shows that the one central idea of all toymak- ers has been to reproduce in minia- ture the deelgn of today's adult living. Al the toys produced Por this yead's trade have been tried out by youngsters to check their suitabil- ity, educational value and fan ap- peal. The up-to-the-minute tech- nique in transportation, architec• tur'e, house -keeping, baby rare, art and handicrafts has been introduc- ed. The sltyltne building, :,olio's mysteries, ettginceritig electro- chemistry furnish the background for various efferings. For father's wbo delight Inplaying with junior's yule presents, the manufacturers have produced tiny polariscopes,% mime -projector scopes and a scienaescope, The latter will magnify the molecular explosion of lemon juice or sada and do it in full colors.

But taking all these, and some other more or less duct^t payments you will still be a long way from knowing the total of your contributions to the expenses of government. It ie seldaam the average Citi en encounters ,the customs collector; and he is only dimly conscious of the operations or the sales tax, Yet from these two scources the Govern. meat collects vast sums, which tax- payers grand out without a gruntbie becausethey are hardly aware. that the price they pay for a wide vari- ety of goods conceal these indirem taxes. A. -recent speech by Secretary Morgenthau of the U. S. Cabinet Inas drawn attention to this subject and a newspaper cglwmentertor writes: —The painless feature Is mot to help the ,taxpayer but to help law- makers who fear his resentment or tax wasters, who fear his economy, Reid kindness to the taxpayer wculd give him direct levies which be could see and feel, Real consider- ation of the taxpayer would thus help him to judge whether he was getting his money's worth la gov- ernment services. Hadden taxes lead millions to think they ars get- ting something for nothing, —To abandon many of the con- sumer taxes now levied by the Fed- eral Government and make up the loss of revenue by broadening the income tax base would as Mr. l ior- genthau says, apply "the principle of capacity to pay more justly," The burden would he eased on millions of the poor who new pay consumers' taxes and transferred to those relatively better able to pay. Also those who ,paid would know it and might allow more interest in the way the money is spent, LT'S A GREAT FAIR Thp Royal wen Fair last wreck, opened as a. nice gesture of int' r - national goodwill by Hon.

Have You Ever Seen our kji e. thrown into the gz tter or waste paper basket bef re it was thoro Wily read • But gutters and waste baskets are filled every day with unopeitecl, unread expensive direct advertising sale ammunition shot into the air, and cheap publications promoted by fly-by-night artists. A newspaper commands an audie nce with prospective customers, es- pecially your home paper. It is never thrown aside without first being read from "kiver to kiver." You never see it littering the front yards, or the streets, annoying the house keeper. That is why intelligent, attractive newspaper advertising is known to be the most effective form of advertising for your business. An advertisement in the `Post' will reach the buyers in the local trade territory' and will be read by thousands of people.
