CONTROL OF INTERSTATE TRADE

Congl ess in passing and the SUI

tiveness to the prohibition laws of
individual states are hardly sur

governments control over interstate
commerce. State prohibition laws

these states to have liquor shipped

interstate commerce over which the
states had no control being made
to take the place of intrastate trade
over which the states did have con-
troll. In preventing interstate COM
merce being made to play this I'M
desirable roll congress is not sur
rendering its right to control that
commerce. 1t is merely exercising
its control in a new direction, or
rather for a new purpose.
One OF the surest ways to get ma
tionaI prohibition would be to bring
home to voters the fact that the
people Of states who wanted prohi-
bition we're being deprived Of il
through the operation Of interstate
commerce. in other words that the
exclusive right Of the national gov

IGNORING the Facts, which appear

Democratic papers last week, com

bureau, denounced severely those
who say the government is running

exactly clear why the Democratic

HELyERING,s NEW TAX

Dispatches from Washington tell
of a new tax bill introduced by
Congressman Helvering OF this dis
trict ito help meet the deficit OF
$500, 100000 in the government
EXPENSES" Mr.. McAdoo says there
Is no deficit but Of course Helyer-
ing knows better or on top OF bond
issues, doubled income taxes, IN
heritance taxes, new stamp taxes to
be resumed after being cut or
during the campaign, he would not
add a particularly obnoxious tax
that affects directly many of his
constituents. This tax calls for
per cent of all profits above per
cent 1t exempts the professional
class, including lawyers and doc
tors, about the only big fee earn
ers. and also the farmers who
though they are making more mon
ev than the merchants have heap
more votes. But it strikes clothing
stores. drug stores, banks, mills,
elevators. factories, hardware deal
ers. garages, newspapers and every
sort of business outside the two
favored classes.
If business say dry goods
store-with $4,000 invested makes
during a year of hard work $1,000
it can get away with it but II 1t
makes because of good holiday
trade $1,000 it must pay $50 tax
though it may lose the whole extra
$1,000 the next six months 1t IS
estimated that this will raise about
1900, 100000 from the business
firms of the country to help meet
the huge deficit caused by the gov
'ernment's wasteful expenses. If
the firm is a corporation 1t VIII
have to pay a corporation tax which
has been doubled from one per cent
to two per cent, making $52 more
tax-and this on top of the state
county. city and school taxes.
Probably Mr.. Helvcring did not
originate the bill. 1t came from ting
southern leaders and was handed
to him to introduce because it would
be injurious to a congressman who
lived in business district; in a
farming district it could do far less
Lo,D, IN tho intrOduCer.
BY the time the people get
through paying the various kinds
of taxes imposed by the government
to keep up its wasteful pork barrel
extravaganza in spite of what Is
termed a time of prosperity they
are going to have mighty little lel'
with which to buy high priced nee
essities of life.

A REAL REFORM

Clay Center Times Kanaas, it
appears to The Times, is now start
ing out on the greatest reform move
ment in its history. The state has
gone through many reform periods,
all more or less valuable. The
Farmers Alliance, the Boss Buster
movement the Progressive move
ment, were all good and accom-
plished improvements, but in all
these movements there was a great
deal of hatred, due to splits in par
ty alignments. which prevented the
eompletest improvement. Also, prob
ably, the state was not ready for
an entire new deal Now things ap-
pear different. Under the present
present constitutional convention
movement, people of all parties AM
all factions seem to be joined. stand
patters and progressives are work

dancing unpopular. From the school
news published there it appears
there was a school dance follow

goes on to say that with the adj

was a shame that so few attended.
Probably children were sent out to
sell tickets and those who bought

&C To INSURANCE RATES

NJ F. Amrine of the Council
Grove Guard offers some more evil
dence on the insurance rate out
rage in Kansas. He says that not
60 very long ago he paid $3.50 per
hundred insurance rate on the
Guard building. He complained OIL
the rate and was told it was hlgh
because of gasoline engine in his
building and one each in the build
ings each side of him, also that one
in a building block away had
some bearing. Without explanation
the rate was hiked to $1.75. Then
TO Sf.S5. Meanwhile all the gaso-
line engines have been replaced with
motors. He complained about the
hike in prices and was told it was
because of defective wiring. lie
rearranged some of the wiring and
took out some gasoline lamps, posi-
lively does not use them at all now
But no reduction in rate of insur-
ance. Meanwhile Council Grove has
one of the greatest water pressure
systems in Kansas and is never
caught short of high pressure. The
eighty foot standpipe stands on top
of an eighty foot hill above the
business district The water plug
That covers the Guard building is
fifty feet from it. Water is in the
4 building on both floors. 1t is a
brick with residence in the second
story. No gasoline stoves, no oil
stoves. No oil lamps. 1t is one block
from the hose house and wagon.
Amrine further says he would
like to join a regiment of Kansas
newspaper men armed with wet
elm clubs to beat the whey or any
other irrelevant material out of any
and every insurance company which
fails to give highly satisfactory rea-
son for the exorbitant, unjust
scandalous and uniustifiable in
creasing high cost of insurance in
Kansas towns and cities.
