amount of wealth to be divided and ad-
versely affects the distribution of what
is produced. In comparison the in
come tax wrests little or nothing from
the new, the experimental or the un-
fortunate business enterprise; it helps
not only the small business man, but
large concerns in new and hazardous
undertakings. 1t helps-or abstains
from burdening-every business enter
prise in bad year.
Hard on Business Man.
THE property tax puts the state in
the position of preferred creditor,
and harsh one. Its dues must be
paid by the business man in the de-
velopment period of the business, be-
fore profits are earned, and later
whether profits are earned or not. The
income tax, however, presents the
state in the attitude of partner or
profit sharer The first attitude is
not wholly indefensible, nor altogether
unfortunate. But with respect to busl-
ness Enterprise it needs 20 be softened
by Increasing emphasis upon ability
to pay. There is a growing feeling
among the operators and owners of
public utilities that government owner
ship is inevitable. This feeling or move
ment is measurably stimulated by the
rigors of the property tax. The rail-
roads of this country, for instance, are
now paying over Is per cent of their
net earnings in taxes, and in some
states the proportion exceeds 20 per
cent. If our tax system gave greater
scope to the net income principle, it
would materially enhance the chances
of private ownership and operation.
The income tax works for the reten-
ton of private management; it makes
the state, not preferred creditor, and
not the sole owner, but a full fledged
and sympathetic partner in private in
dustry."

SIOUX CITY BANK
CLEARINGS DECREASE

Sioux City, Dec 30.-Bank c1earings
for the year 1914 in Sioux City will be
smaller than for the preceding year
by little more than $6,O00,OOO, accord
ing to figures compiled by T. G. Nc
Clintock, of the Sioux City clearing
house. This is looked upon by bank
ers as more than creditable showing.
Figures from other cities show much
greater loss, it is stated. In 1913 the
annual clearings were $176,699,263. or.
A close estimate for 1914 places them
at $17O,000,000.
Business for the present year shows
a falling off In clearings for every
month since the breaking out of the
European war.

Wants Law More Plain.
Commissioner H. J. Bremhorst talk
ed on the present and former paving
laws drawing comparisons between
them as they are made plain to the
commissioners in attempting to get
the paving done in Ottumwa. He urg-
ed that the legislature take steps to

1t might be done without fear of liti-
