the market would do we'll to realize

Plea for Full Discussion
Of Tax Problems
State Realty Council Favors In
come Tax Measure

l.. D. Woodwork, of the State Realty
Taxpayers Council, has issued state
ment urging citizens to write at once
to their representatives in the Legs
lature for an open and thorough dis-
cussion Of the state tax problems.
He adds: "The income tax idea pro-
posed by the recent joint legislative
committee is favored by this council
on grounds which are not only non
partisan, but are those upon when
democracy itself is founded, namely
equity and justice. The present hap
hazard assortment Of state taxes lacks
all the elements Of system and does
not obtain equity and justice. care
must be taken lest we now make bad
situation worse! Twenty-Five million
dollars in new state taxes will be levied
within the next week. Will the burden
be placed in accord with sound prin-
ciples of tsxation?'

Britain Holds It's
Trade with Australia
Gain Made by u. S. Not as
Large as Supposed

Philip B. Kennedy, commercial at
tache, reports from Melbourne that the
volume OF the business done by the
United States in Australia since the
war is greatly exaggerated in the pub
lie mind. A tabulstion of the official
trade statistics for the fiscal year
1876, just completed by the Aus
tralian Association of British Manu-
facturers and their representatives,
gives the proportion of Australia's i'm
ports received from the United King
dom, British possessions and the
United States, and shows that in spite
of embargOeg. war work and labor and
shipping problems British manufact-
urers have been able to hold their own
in Australia and are still actually sup
plying two-thirds Of the imports of the
commonwealth.
IN order to compare the relative
position Of the United Kingdom, Brit
ish possessions and the United States
the association eliminated from its
calculations the imports that could be
called competitive" such as tim
Der, jute bags, oils, tea, tobacco, sugar,
chemicals. fertilizers, rice, fruit and
vegetables. The balance, classed as
competitive" imports, was divided as
