Mrs. Ethel Merner led the dis­ cussion on “according to worth” which went as follows: A far­ mer’s income is dependent upon his farming knowledge, his hard work, the weather, luck and markets, whereas many other occupational groups receive their salary regardless of above men­ tioned facts. We think income tax is a fair method of taxation because the people with the high incomes are the ones who can afford to pay taxes. The next meeting will be held at Mr and Mrs. Aaron Oestrei- oher’s with Mr. William Edig- hoffer leading the discussion on “Many Happy Returns”. Mrs. Glare Geiger was in charge of recreation.
