FIGHT HIGH TAXES


nishes the following clipping from
the "Topeka Capital" as being of
interest to Rio Grande taxpayers
Before utter confiscation of prop
erty is commenced, it is thought
some decided action will be taken
by our people:
Gov. Stubbs' suggestion before
the meeting Of the State Board of
Agriculture of the organization of
County Taxpayers Associations
ought to be followed. Jackson
and Shawnee counties have such
associations, the Shawnee associa-
tion having been formed in the last
few weeks.
There is nothing to be gained by
merely complaining of taxes: the
thing to do is to get information
and then take action that will be
of some benefit. That is the idea
that brought about organization in
this and Jackson counties, and
possibly in some other counties of
the State.
Good will come of these organi-
1atinpo vbaraua, fD,,,oJ
There are plenty of things such
taxpayers organizations can do.
They will go deeper into the ques-
ton of taxes than merely to find
out how they are distributed, what
part is local and what part State
and so ON. They will find out what
becomes of the revenues. They
will naturally look into the uues-
ton of audits whenever there is a
change of officials in the county.
Taxpayers Associations will bring
about greater economy and greater
efficiency, because they will always
have an eye on officials and stand
between the public official and the
taxpayers.
But if Taxpayers Associations
did nothing else but have the taxes
analyzed so that everybody would
understand just where the rub was
they would be worth the effort.
Just let it be understood that taxes
are "out of line" in this or that
department compared with others,
or compared with other years, and
there would be a reform. Public
sentiment would come down on it,
Reports or statements from Tax
payers Association would attract
great attention and have great
weight.
If such Associations are formed,
as they should be in the different
counties, they would not only have
great effect locally in keeping down
taxes or keeping up economy and
efficiency but they would insure a
constant interest and watchfulness,
instead of few days. uproar and
kicking every time the taxes came
due. And these county Associa-
tions would compare notes and ex-
change reports of conditions so
that if single county succeeded in
making some improvement in
particular department, other coun-
ties would be informed and be like
ly to follow. In every county it
is to be hoped that interested citi-
zens will follow Shawnee and Jack
son and form such Associations for
the common good.

SHELTER TRUST

A resolution has been introduced
in congress by John A. Martin
which must lead to an investiga-
tion of the smelter trust. In sup
port of his resolution Mr.. Martin
said:
at has been charged for years
that the smelter trust is in control
of the smelling business of North
America, and thereby controls to
an injurious degree precious metal
mining; that it not only controls
the lead and zinc market and fixes
the price of ore to miners, but that
its charges and practices are such
as to injure and even destroy low
grade mining.
1t is now charged that the smell
ter trust is the principal benefi-
ciary of the present high tariff
rates on lead and zinc.

APPROPRIATIONS BILL
House Leaders Favor Big Re-
auctions in Civil Expenditures
of Government
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Dec 30.-Democrats OF
the house Of representatives plan to elm
mate from the next sundry civil appro-
priation bill the S225.OOO appropriation FOR
the presidents tariff board the $4,000 APP
preparation for the economy commission
and the $4,000 appropriation for the pres
ident's travelling expenses.
Democratic members Of the appropria-
tions committed are said to be unant-
mously In favor of this elimination pro-
gram and they believe that the cutting
out of this expenditure Of $S25.O all
of which is under the direction of the
president, will meet with the approval OF
the majority party in the house.
The sundry civil bill will be ready for
submission to the house in January and
the Democrats plan to defend denial OF
the quarter of a million appropriation for
the tariff board on the ground that the
very principle of tariff body under the
direct supervision of the president is un-
Democratic. They further will point out
the constitution given to the house OF
representatives the power Of initiative
In revenue legislation and will contend
that a presidentially controlled tariff
board practically amounts to a usurpa-
ton Of this power.
The house Democratic leaders have an
economy plan of their own and will in
sist that the maintenance or the economy
commission is a waste of time and
money. They will argue that the house
expenditures committees for the various
departments of government can take care
of any economics that may be needed if
members of the cabinet fail to discover
extravagances of administration.
AS far as the presidents travelling ex-
penses are, concerned, the Democrats feel
that the annual appropriation of $25. 900
for that purpose Is being used against
the Democratic enemy and they propose
to cut it off for that reason. These items
are certain to provoke lively. discussion
when the sundry civil bin is reported.
