Sensible to end tax on groceries A couple of state senators from Wichita have come up with a good – bipartisan! – idea that could make life a little more affordable for all Kansans, especially those who need the help most. Unfortunately, the state has dug itself into such a hole that it can’t afford it. State Sens. Michael O’Donnell, a Republican, and Oletha Faust-Goudeau, a Democrat, are putting together a proposal to phase out the state sales tax on groceries over several years. It would benefit every Kansan for the simple reason that, as Sen. O’Donnell says, “every Kansan eats.” Importantly, the poor would be the chief beneficiaries. That’s because food costs take up a greater percentage of their income than for more affluent Kansans. Phasing out the sales tax on food would be one of the most enlightened tax cuts the Legislature could enact. In fact, Kan- sas is one of just 14 states that still tax food bought for home consumption, according to the Center on Budget and Policies. Trouble is, the Legislature in recent sessions has slashed taxes – in ways that generally benefit the affluent – to the ex- tent that if lawmakers cut anything in the near future, it will be programs and services that the state no longer has the money Gardener’s memories hark back to ’30s for.

It’s about 3 feet tall, has angled sides and two lower shelves. There’s a small Cryptoquip metal plate on the bottom shelf that reads “Baker Office Furniture Co., Pittsburg, Pa.” There is no “h” in Pittsburg. Can you tell me something about it so I can pass it on to young- er family members? Does it have any value? A: Your dictionary stand was made between Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters 1891 and 1911. Pennsylvania’s city of Pittsburg was chartered in 1816 and the spelling of the name changed a few times. In 1891, the United States Board on Geographic Names ruled that the official spelling was without an “h.” The decision was reversed in 1911. Edward Enzer Baker opened the first office fur- niture store in the country in 1889. In 1913 Baker Office Furniture Co. advertised a reorganization sale, offering old office furniture for sale and of- fering to buy used office furniture or taking it as partial payment for new furniture. The company was still in business in the 1920s. The value of your dictionary stand: $95 to $250.

Famous Hand This deal occurred in the Netherlands-Italy match at the 1966 world team championship. With Benito Garozzo North and Pietro Forquet South for Italy, the bidding went as shown. The Italians were playing the Neapolitan Club sys- tem, and, in accordance with it, Garozzo opened one club, indicating 17 or more points. The two- club response by Forquet was artificial and indi- Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott cated two aces and a king. From then on, the bidding was natural. Garo- zzo showed his diamonds, and Forquet jumped to three spades, indicating a long, strong spade suit. Garozzo raised to four, and Forquet passed, fearing North’s clubs might be of poor quality since North had failed to cuebid the suit. West led his singleton diamond, and Forquet could take no more than 11 tricks to score a seemingly normal 650 points. At the second table, with a Dutch pair North- South, the bidding was less scientific but more successful:

West led the jack of hearts, and declarer had no trouble taking all 13 tricks. Three clubs was prob- ably meant to inhibit West from leading that suit – though in the actual deal, West would hardly have led a club even if the suit had not been bid. As seen from what happened at the first table, a diamond lead would have stopped the slam, since it would have cut declarer off from dummy’s red- suit tricks before all the opposing trumps could be drawn. As it was, with the actual lead Holland gained 810 points on the deal. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc. Colby Free Press Monday, November 3, 2014 Page 7 To place your classified ad, mail (155 W.
