WHO PAYS THE TAXES

1t would be interesting well instructive could the
money which goes to pay taxes be traced back to its orig
na source that to the who actually pays the taxes
In many states until recently of the prerequisites
to being cassed voter that the person should be
taxpayer In most of the states this is still necessary
qualification in voting at school elections unless the
woud-be voter has children of school age
Under this system the person who passed the money
to the tax collector considered the taxpayer and
he considered yet and yet there anything
further from the truth Every person who eats
clothing taxpayer for the simple reason that he is
consumer and that gentleman always pays the freight
well as the taxes
In every business the income the profits must be suf
fcent to pay for the goods dealt n the freight thereon
the rent of the building in which they are sod the cost
of selling the taxes and all other ncdenals and leave
enough pay ths dealer for his time and labor and
fair interest on the money invested else it is not sue
cessful business
One of the above items is illustrative, "The dealer
must pay the rent" Now the landlord in fixing the
amount of this rent estimates the taxes that will be
levied against the building and makes his rent rate high
enough to it. The renter pays it. but in selling his
goods he too takes the rent into consideration in fixing
his per cent of profits and it goes down to the
consumer
1t is for this reason we have remarked that it would
be interesting as well as instructive if the money with
which taxes paid could be traced back and credited to-
the person who actually pays them.

DECREASED REVENUES A HELPFUL SIGN

Secretary McAdoo calls attention to the fact that the
United States has lost $89000000 in import duties during
this year Yet fault is found with the administration be-
cause other means of raising have been adopted
This complaint comes from the advocates of high protec
ton who are so anxious about the poor aborer and yet
this shows that aborers in this country must be employed
in making the goods here in America that we used to
import As for finding fault about the Of raising
taxes that is another bit Of balderdash
The duty imports adopted as the better way OF
raising revenues for two reasons One of these was that
any tariff on foreign made goods permitted the American
manufacturer to charge higher price for his goods than
he otherwise could get and hence all the manufacturing
industries were sody behind the SYSTEM even those not
benefited by it, hoping to get its mothery protection
sometime.
The other reason was that it placed the payment OF
the expenses of running the government where every
other system of taxation either places or tries to- that
is on the The persons who used the foreign
made goods paid the revenue to Uncle Sam The worst
feature of the system is that while Uncle Sam is collecting
the duties foreign made goods for the purpose OF
running the government the American manufacturer got
busy and collected practically the same duties on the
goods he made thus getting an uneaned revenue for
himself and evying direct tax on the consumer.
Over and above these reasons, is the additional one
that the cost added by the tariff is not visible and as some
wise Frenchman said "I is great revenue system be-
cause under it, the government can get the greatest
amount of feathers with the least squawkng from the
goose"

PIEcklNP AuG.H NOT
 SORE BECAUSE OF CHANGE IN MANAGER

New York, Jan. 9A former off cia1 of the Yankees stated yesterday that there was no truth in the report that Shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh was deeply grieved because he was not continued as manager of the club under the new regime, and for that reason threatened to jump to the Feds.
 This official said that when Presi- dent Farrell appointed Peckinpaugh to succeed Frank Chance, it was plainly with the understanding that his services in that position were to continue only to the end of the f1n- ished season.
 Peckinpaugh had just returned to his home in Cleveland from a trip to Florida, where he has been look ing over possible training camps EPeckinpaugh left Jacksonville before his contract arrived there, and he had not received it up to a few days ago This gave rise to rumors that he was dissatisfied, and was considering an Ioffer from the Federal League,
 Manager Bill Donovan says that he is certain that Peckinpaugh will sign within a short time. Donovan left town yesterday, and it is expected that he will visit Peckinpaugh and the few other Yankee players who have not signed before returning te, Ifhis city. Wild Bill expects to see Marty McHaIe on the trip and sign him for next year. McHale has been doing a lot of talking lately, and has been hinting that unless the Yankees meet his salary demands he would Jump to the Federal League.

 Several promoters had asked for an opportunity to offer bids Billy Gibson, on behalf of the new boxing club in Havana, made a high bid to hold the bout in Cuba Jim Comroth, by wire and by letter, made a bid which was less than Gibson's, for the bout to be held at Tia Juana which is just. across the border from San Diego, Cal
 Neither offer came up to the eSE pectations of Jack SCurleyst who fs managing the bout for the Syndicate behind the project to stage 1t at Juarez, Mexico.

YANKEES TO
 DO TRAINING
 IN SAVANNAH

New York, Jan eLsavannah, Ga, may have Jthe honor of entertatnhng the Yankees during their first train ing jaunt under the Huston -Ruppert regime though Gap Huston says the selection of t11e camp ds entirely up to Manager Wild Bill Donovan.
 Donovan feels rather kindly toward Savannah, as he trained there with his Providence team last season. and won the International league pennant. He said his team enconltered splendid weather there, and wfssed very little time because of rain.
 The greatest objection against Sa- an1rah is that i'm March the town fre- qllently is swept by cold. chilling winds, which come in from bhe sea. The Philadelphia Nationals trained dn Savannah for several years, and never were any too satisfied with the place.
 Donovan is on a new trip to round up some of ilfs unsigned talent He left here on Thursday night with a stock of blank contracts in his pockets. Wild Bill is big boosber for Hugh High, the Detroit oq1tdeIder, and in- tends to gdXs him a regular job in the outfiHld.

 There is a remote chance, however, of MerkIe being released by the Giants and that would be possible only if organized ball is successful in bringing Big Ed Konetchy back. to the fold The big Greek has a great RdInirer in Manager NIcGraW, and it is stated at one time last season the New York manager offered Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh big price dar him. but the offer was turned down
