The states of Minnesota, North Da-

producing the bulk Of northwestern
wheat, undoubtedly will show a de-
crease in the wheat acreage this year
due to the high price of farm labor,
which as reported from IS local
points has advanced 73.4 since 1914,
and due also to the scarcity of good
seed wheat. The natural letting
down after the extraordinary croE
production efforts during the war is

Good Pastures Predicted.

Montana reports a prospect of good
range grass about June 10. The out
look for hay is uncertain. On ac-
tcount Of the very dry condition Of
the ranges for two years, many
ranchmen take the view that a crop
Of wild hay will not be available UNI
til mex year.
The forest supervisor reports that
applications for grazing permits in
the forest reserves are equal to those
of preceding years, indicating that in
the face of heavy live stock ship
ments last fall there is a disposition
to bring h herds back to a normal
basis. Montana lost 641.000 cattle in
the late summer n fall last year,
and approximately half OF the g.
5000 sheep within that state. The
estimates Of cattle still in the state
Vary widely, the live stock commits

perts and other authorities give es-
Inmates running from 100000 to

NAL holdings of cattle of from l.
10000 to 1900, 900 head have been
reduced at least so per cent and per-
haps as much as 60 per cent. The re-

Wholesalers and distributors Of
merchandise are c~ontending with
great difficulty in procuring goods
from manufacturers. Agricultural
implement dealers are shipping to

a heavy demand for farm machinery.
The movement Of farm tractors has

High Taxes Aid Price Booster, Says Kahn
Present Law Seen as Handicap to Industry

f
ing expenses and taxes. that the
means are provided for that neces-
sity. Excessive surtaxes accomplish
double harm: They greatly dimin-
ish the incentive to thrift and they
appropriate to an undue extent the
means which ought to be available
for industry and enterprise. And
those means are more than ever
needed at present, because the world
is urgently in need of increased
production after nearly fiye years
of underproduction during the war.
Many Work Hard ms Ever.
Fortunately. II is not only ma
terial inducement which counts. 1t
is to the credit of our business men
that, in spite of the difficulties,
handicaps and discouragements
caused by our methods of taxation,
few have dropped out of the race
and that zest for work, joy in
achievement, worthy ambition and
sense of duty have kept the over
lwhelming majority of them at work
as hard as ever. But 1 do know
of some who have given up in weari-
ness and detection, and it is a fact
that there has been a distinct and
undesirable disinclination to set out
on new ventures and to give full
scope to the hazards of enterprise.
1t is manifest from the figures
have quoted that no bond, for
eign or domestic, can compete in
| interest yield with the attractive
ness of tax-exempt bonds to those
in possession of surplus incomes OF
any considerable size. Is 1t to be
wondered at. under these circum-
stances, If the well-to-do investor
/ has withdrawn from the mortgage
market and money for all kinds OF
enterprises is exceedingly hard to
find?
/ AS the New York Tribune has said
/ in a recent editorial:
! The clutch of the surtaxes is
not only on the throat of builders,
; but on the throat of all business.
Two billion reinvested in improve
ments Of general benefit is grabbed
! by the government. and even more
pours into exempt. nonbusiness pub
lie debt securities. Is it strange
there is a shortage of capital for
/ business use?"
! Perhaps the most conspicuous ex-
ample of the effect of our taxation
III SllulnB enterprise anu prevent
ing capital from accomplishing its
normal and necessary function is
seen in the acute housing situa-
tion throughout the country. To
quote from the testimony of John
j L. Parish. secretary of the advisory
council of real estate interests of
the city of New York, before the
United States Senate Committee on
Reconstruction and Productions:
The Withdrawals from mortagc
investments in real property in the
borough of Manhattan during tho
first six months of 1920 amount &c
approximately sS3,000.OO0 net.
That indicates n rate of with
drawal from investment in mort
cages in Manhattan alone of ovel
S165, 900, 900 a year.
AN explanation OF this unprecc'
dented course Of investment money
will be sought lin vain outside the
operation of the income tax laws
This may not have beer
. foreseen when the law was enacted
but the experience of the last three
The Washington herald., 1920-10-15

years and the cessation of housing
construction and the prostration of
the mortgage market have afforded
demonstration of which there can
be no question"
Relief Ii Demanded.
Urgent and nationwide demand
has now arisen for a remedy and
for relief from that serious situa-
tion. The great majority of those
who have testified on the subject
before the Senate committee on re-
construction and production and be-
fore local bodies advocate what?
The freeing of mortgages for the
construction of private dwellings
from the State and Federal income
tax. In other words, the evil of
the present surtax tax schedule. sup
posed to be of concern only to the
rich, Is proving so serious and in
tolerable in it's effect upon the ne
cessittes of the masses that the vol
ume OF taX-fdll securities in which
capital can take refuge is to be
still further increased! That means
simply turning in a vicious circle.
Moreover. what is true of the
housing situation is true of every
other situation. Only in other in
stances the result is not so plainly
discernible and no so directly felt
by the people. Precisely the same
thing which faulty taxation has so
largely brought about in stopping
building. by discouraging and lam
ing enterprise and making money
hard to obtain or not obtainable at
all, it has accomplished in a greater
or lesser degree in every other field
of industrial activity. And the cure
cannot be found in the hapnazarc
removal of all taxation where
clumsily applied taxation presses
upon particularly sensitive spot,
as in the case of the housing situ-
alton. The cure can only be found
in bringing about wisely remedial
treatment for the whole economic
body of the nation.
(s) In this calculation. no account
is taken of state income taxes. If
these were included. the yield from
tax-exempt securities would figure
out still higher. as compared with
taxable securities or capitol invest
ed in business.
