The People Must Pay.

1t is easy enough to say dogmati
cally that increased tariff duties do
not mean increased prices to the con-
sumner, that the foreigner pays the
tax" and that local competition in
the home market keeps the actual
cost within reasonable limit.
But there is no argument so potent
or convincing as the cold facts.
Some of the truths readily deduced
may be summarized briefly.
The duty on anvils was increased
one half cent pound. The price has
advanced about twice as much.
By the strongest insistence the Sen
ate conferrees compelled Mckinley
TO leave the window-glass duty as be-
fore. But the Administration bill
has enabled the Trust to raise prices
four times and yet another advance
is anticipated.
The DUTY on raisins was increased
one-half cent a pound. The price
has advanced twelve cents on
twenty-pound box.
The duty on prunes was increased
one cent pound. The price Of the
domestic article has advanced four
cents and OF those imported nearly
as much.
There was no duty on evaporated
apples under the old tariff. They
are now taxed two cents pound.
The price has advanced six and one
half cents a pound.
Canned peas were taxed 30 per cent
under the old tariff. They now pay
40 per cent. The price has advanced
four cents II can.
A like increase was made in the
duty on Lima beans. The price has
advanced from five to eight cents
can.
The duty on smoked beef was in
creased one cent pound. The price
has advanced exactly that amount.
The tax on shotguns was increased
by the imposition Of specific duty
of from "a to Sc each, The price has
advanced So on all standard grades.
An additional specific duty of 10
cents yard was placed on ginghams.
The price has advanced so per cent.
Under the old tariff the ad valorem
duty on plush garments was 40 per
cent. Now it is 60. The retail price
has advanced from 81 to 50 on each
garment. Only one firm in this coun-
try makes. .Athese goods. 1t has
promptly raised prices to jobbers
from 10 to 25 per cent. Linen goods
and velvets have gone up a like
amount. The Amoskeag Company
also has raised the price of prints
one-fourth of cent a yard. That
this company needed further pro
lection for its infant industry is clear
" shown by the fact that its net
profits last year were only SAL, 1924.
Next year they will be more.
These are only few of the many
instances of cause and effect shown
by the tables of comparative duties
and prices All are well worthy of
the consideration Of every citizen.
1t must also be remembered that
these changes have taken place i'll
less than one month since the Trust
tariff became law. How great will
be the advance when II year shall
have expired is matter only of APP
prehensive conjecture World.

A lesson From Connecticut,

1t is well known fact that the modes of
taxation prevailing In most of our States
fails almost wholly to reach property like
bonds and notes, which can be easily con-
cealed and of which the assessors can gener-
ally get no trace unless the owner chooses to
make confession. Various expedients
have been resorted to to compel disclosure
OF this kind Of property, but for the most
part they have been unsuccessful The men
with consciences sufficiently tender to impel
them to walk up to the assessors Office with
their tin boxes filed with bonds and pour
out the contents for the inspection Of those
officers are very few. Occasionally bonds
belonging to estates In process of settlement
In the probate court come under the eye of
the assessors and are taxed, but tine great
majority of such securities escape scot free.
The Legislature of the State of Connect
cut undertook to remedy this difficulty in part
by novel measure. 1t enacted law pre-
viding that IL the owners of bonds would file
record of them with the Treasurer of State
and submit voluntarily to tax upon them
of one fifteenth of one per cent. they should
be exempted as far as their securities were
concerned from local taxation. 1t was
generally prophesied by the enemies of the
law at the time that it would result
In nothing. 1t was predicted that the own
ers OF bonds would not be any reader to dis
-ciose them when the tax was one-fftet nth of
one per cent. than when 1t was two per cent,
which is the prevailing rate of local taxation.
1t was said with good deal of force that the
conscience which could reconcile itself to the
lodging Of the greater rate would not have
much difficulty to satisfy itself that it was
all right to dodge the smaller one.
1t appears. however, from actual expert
ence that the opponents of the law were mis-
taken. From August /, when the law went
into force, up TO January !, more than $780,
100000 of bonds and notes had been regis
tered with the treasurer, nearly three-fourths
of which had never before paid single cent
of taxation, and the registration is still going
on at a very rapid rate. A few towns in
which there were large estates In process Of
settlement in the courts will lose something
probably, but the great majority of the towns
will lose nothing because as matter of fact
they had never received anything from this
class of property, and on the other hand the
State ;will realize handsome sum. This
object lesson from Connecticut is worthy the
attention Of our tax commission which is
now engaged in considering the best methods
of making all property pay its fair share Of
public expenditure.
