only 20 per cent. more wealth-$5,-
427,O22, 651-than Oklahoma, paid
290 per cent. more taxes than Okla
homa.
Take all these States of the Solid
South in string: Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas.
Their combined wealth is billions on
billions more than Ohfo's: indeed, it
is nearly three times Ohio's. Yet
Ohio with $8,9O8, 432,943 of wealth,
paid in taxes $241, O37,457, or $751;
000, 900 more taxes than all those
Southern States put together.
To that list of Southern States
add Oklahoma. Then their combined
wealth is nearly fifteen billions of
dollars more than the wealth of ILL
nois, but Illinois paid in taxes $685.
579,053, as against some $184,OOO,-
900 by all those Southern States.
That string of Southern States,
with wealth twice the wealth of
Pennsylvania in round numbers,
paid, in round numbers, the same
1884, 100000; Pennsylvania paid, in
round numbers, 100000.
Lven the border States could not
escape the discrlnlinat ton which the
Kitchins exercised against everybody
and everything beyond the sacred
soil which they were saving from
taxes. Missouri, with less wealth
than Texas, must pay twice the
taxes paid by Texas. Maryland, with
less wealth than Georgia, must pay
two and half times more taxes.
Thus the very records of the Uni
ted States Government show that the
Kitchen taxes were deliberately and
Indignantly rugged so that the Solid
South oligarchy might not merely
sponge, but prey, upon the taxpay-
ers whom Kitchin had threatened
north OF Mason and Dixon's line"

BEARING THE BURDEN

The following editorial taken from
the New York Sun shows to what
extent the northern states have been
Disseminated against in being
forced to pay nearly double the
taxes which the states south of the
Mason and Dixon line pay. The
figures are taken from government
records, therefore are accepted as
being correct.
SIN the list of States of the Solid
South running down the Atlantic sea-
board from Virginia to Florida in
elusive, the poorest, by the Census
Reports, is Florida, with wealth of
S1.049, 1929. By the same Census
Reports the State of Maine is
credited with wealth about the
same as Florida's $1,O69,594,O27.
But the income and excess profits
taxes paid by Florida for the last
fiscal year were $4,639,716. The
State of Maine paid $12,016,085.
Look at the table and you will see
that South Carolina has wealth of
1851 ,40O,753, and that South Caro-
Hna's taxes were $7,884,0O0. Then
look at Rhode Island and you will
see that the wealth of that State is
only $97O,8O2,69O, but Rhode Is
lands taxes were $16,385,548.
Vermont and New Hampshire
mountainous. largely barren, have
not, both put together, anything like
the wealth of Mississippi. But the
table shows that while Vermont ano
New Hampshire together have less
thar $1,2OO,OOO,OOO of wealth, anc
while Mississippi has about $1,345,
100000 of wealth, Vermont and
New Hampshire paid nearly twice
the taxes-$9,9O 0,0OO-paid by Mis-
skssippi, $4,964,000.
Georgia is one of the great States
al the old South. Georgia has {
larger wealth--$2, 1888, SOC, 866-thar
Connecticut, with $2,285 Asa, $50
Georgia paid some $16,230,0O0 o:
taxes. Connecticut paid some $62,
l9b,UUU.
Texas, the largest State in thu
Solid South, is the richest State i,
the Solid South. Texas has NOR
wealth than Massachusetts by hal
billion of dollars, but Texas pai
fn taxes some $3O,313,O0O, Will
Massachusetts paid $166,598,0OO.
TO preserve our own neutrality j
this review of sectional taxation, lie
us merely mention New York wit

last week and believe me, they're no
cinch, but l guess the authorities
here know it from the marks. I got
a 40 on a chem. exam. which is / be-
low passing but that isn't so bad
when only h out of class of 800
! passed. In the other exams. l
haven't seen my marks.
If they send everybody to depot

went up to the library to study and
l couldn't seem to get interested in

half an hour and then the next thing
l knew it was half past four and I'd
been asleep about two hours. /

I've been in charge of the squad
