To THE EDITOR INDEPENDENT:

To THE EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
The addition of about 81. O00. 900 u day
to the federal deficit is at least serving
the excellent purpose of calling general
attention 10 the ~inadequacy of tariff
taxes in times of business depression
and to the instability of our internal
revenue taxes with prohibition running
rampant. The injustice of these
principal classes of federal levies. in
their bearing on the poor as compared
with the rich, has long been understood;
and low that they are proving made
quate as well as expensive and iniquit-
Gus. our statesmen are looking for other
sources of public income.
From the standpoint of the fifth COM
mandment graduated income and in
heritance taxes are certainly All advance
over taxes on shoes and tobacco, but rs
to reliability experience has a~bundantly
shown that governments suhsisting in
the customary way-by cNtortion-
must of necessity extort from the poor,
because the rich will not stand for it on
their part, and don't have to, being
possessed of all the means of escape.
\ suggestion which finds increasing
favor even i'll this country, and to Il
much greater extent i'll Other leading
nations such as Great Britain, is that
governments must begin now TO look to
the from their especial
property, the kinds of property" pro-
duced and made valuable solely by
governmental power and activity.
Here is indeed Il rich field for Uncle
Sam, for instance i'll the enormous areas
of land he has made and is now making
available for use and rental. in the
great railroads built at his expense. in
the water privileges of the mountains
and the harbor accommodations of the
coasts to which no mar can show "A
defensible title. The thrifty individ.
uals and corporations which are at
present pocketing the vast incomes
form these and similar sources would
~undeniably be just as willing to
dodge taxes OH these plainly social
values, but the great and obvious point
is that from the nature of the case they
couldn't do it.
The taxation of privileges instead of
products is what all governments, local
and national, must approximate to
eventually, and it is time to be con.
sidering and preparing for the change.
The state of Nevada with its burden
some and costly poll taxes and license
and occupation taxes. in homogeneous
connection with the wide .awake and
progressive spirit of its citizens, might
well lead in the investigation.

that the building, which was of brick

were successful. The walls remained
intact and seemed to have withstool
the heat in good shape. The interior
of the structure was totally destroyed.
