War Revenues Are Assailed AS
Unjust To Many
Glasses
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.1


Henderson, KY, July IA circuit
court Of appeals for taxes should De
established to meet needs for prompt
judicial determination Of the validity
and effect of/t tax regulations OF the
department Of internal revenue, Ro-
bert N. Miller, former solicitor OF
internal revenue, declared in an ad-
dress at the annual meeting Of the
Kentucky State Bar association here
today.
Revision of federal war revenue
acts are needed to remove impositions
on the tax payers Of unreasonable
burdens, Mr.. Miller said.
, Beginning with the things which
%asI BE dG aided are thae
retroactive tax legislation however
necessary in the war emergency,
must utterly be abandoned, and that
the tax burden must be distributed
more equitably, to remove unfair
stress on particular groups"
Moderate Tax On Incomes.
He urged that steps be taken to
replace the excess profits tax by. a
fat corporation tax not involving
calculation Of invested capital; i'm
pose a moderate individual income
tax; provide for final settlements be-
tween the government and tax pay
ers which shall be binding on both
parties; give tax payers the privfl-
eye of distributing accumulated gains
over the several years to which they
properly are allocated; clear up un
certainties as to personal service
corporations; Provide relief to tax
payers suffering net losses in tax
able years, so they may deduct them
from subsequent years profits until
the losses are exhausted

Of PREACHERS EXPENSE EXPENSE FOR IUXURES
Enormous Sum of Money Spent
Annually; Reaches Into
Billions

An average of SS,710,000,000 is spent
annually by the people of the United
States for ''luxuries," according to a
statement by Miss Edith Strauss,
head of the women's activities division
of the department of justice high cost
OF living campaign. Miss Strauss
estimates on this basis a per family
expenditure of $34S per year or ~
week for "luxuries."
The male population spend $2,11O,-
900, 900 on tobacco in its various forms.
Of this sum, $S09000,000 is spent for
cigarets; like sum for loose tobac-
co and snuff, and S510,000,000 for
cigars.
Automobiles rank second in Miss
Strauss list of luXuries. Approx
mately $2,000,000, 900 is expended each
year for motor cars and their parts,
she said.
Since the advent of prohibition
ever before in the nations history, II
was pointed out. The candy consum-
ing public annually pays $1,000,OO0'-
900 for sweets.
Other items in what Miss Strauss
terms the luxury list" include chew
ing gum, for which SOC, 100000 is spent
annually, soft drinks $3.50, 100000

and monographs $3.50, 100000.
These statistics, Miss Strauss said
were collected by the treasury depart
ment
And don't forget this" she said
THE labor and capital employed in
producing these Injuries might other
wise have been turning out necessities
clothes fuel, shoes, houses, food. In
other words, the nation might have
had more bread if it had less cake
And as is always the case, the dancer
is paying the fiddler. In this instance
the luxury consumer is paying high
er price for his necessities because
he is abnormally consuming luXuries.'

CAUSE DISCUSSED BY REV.
T. K. PADEN
Five Hundred Are Needed in the
Presbyterian Denomination
At This Time

Failure of people to appreciate the
position of the church was given by
T. Ross Paden, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church, as one of the chief
causes for the present dearth Of min
listers. When interviewed by Free
Press reporter he said: Il supply
pastors for ten churches in this dis
trict, and during the last week
have located three ministers. 1t is
a most difficult task to supply min
listers for the United States, and in
our denomination alone we could use
perhaps about 500 pastors. This
shortage effects the northwest in a
most severe way, because ninety
five per cent of the young men who
have entered the ministry lately
have asked for places easto OF the
Mississippi. Also, one OF the rea
sons for the shortage is that there
are not enough young men enrolled
in our theological schools.
Cause Of Shortage.
"ln answer to the question what
is the cause Of the shortage it can
be said that a minister is a product
of a wideawake consecreated church
and also product or q
conscreated home. The church
no doubt affected by the materialism
of the age, Is for certain extent
the cause Of the difficulty that is ex-
perienced in securing ministers. The
church Is not on a plane with the
spirit which produces preachers.
would not lay this unfortunate con-
dition of insufficient pastors to the
low salary maid to the work erS, be-
cause when a young man enters the
ministry he does not have the money
side Of 1t as his ideal, but the good
that he expects to accomplish. The
deepening of the spirit Of the church
Will produce pastors, and it is only
by this means that we can overcome
this cirrumsta ncao
