Taxes On Taxes.
Dearborn Independent.

DedIUOEu 1u0CQSuNSuSs
A very large part of the high cost
of living is taxes-pure and simple.
1t is what we are paying for the war.
The producer Of raw materials
must pay tax on his profits and adds
not only the tax but profit on the
amount paid in taxes and passes it
long to the manufacturer, who in
urn must pay tax on what he makes
nd adds it to his cost. The manu-
facturer adds a profit to this: also to
he amount paid for the tax part of
his raw materials, and passes it along
% the jobber, tax multiplied on tax.
The jobber repeats the operations
md passes his tax to the retailer who
~hoves it on to the ultimate consum-
er, collecting not only his own tax,
1t the taxes of the three who had a
whack at it before he did.
There are many contributing causes
high costs, but one good place to
begin work on them is in congress.

WILSON SIGNS BILL
TO CONTROL SUGAR

Washington, Jan. 2.-President
Wilson has signed the McNary bill
continuing the United States sugar
equalization board throuhg 1920. 1t
was announced today at the White
House that his signature had been at
tached before midnight last night.
Secretary Tumulty, in making the
announcement, issued this statement:
"The president has signed the su-
gar control bill. The bill confers dis
cretion on the president in the matter
CT Dlrcha g." ~" ."
doubtful whether it will be practical
BILE or wise for the president to exer-
else the power conferred so far as
the purchase of sugar is concerned"
Some of the Cuban sugar has al
ready been pu-ch;. ;.sed and there is no
central control over sugar in Cuba as
there was last year, and it might,
therefore, be impossible for the gov
.nment now to step in and purchase
tie sugar without increasing the price
TO the consumer. The bill, however,
continues the licensing power also and
his rover may he used to assist in
controlling the profiteering among
distributors. Much Cuban sugar is
coming in now and the indications are
that prices have reached their peak
and that there will be tendency for
prices to fail in the next few weeks.

THE MEUSE-ARGONNE.

Acting as a distributing agency
or the French Government, Colonel
J. E. Wyke, U. S. Army Recruiting
Officer, Savannah, Ca, is issuing to
former soldiers of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces an eloquent tri-
butte to the Americans who fought on
French and German soil in the World
War. 1t had been issued by the
french Government that this memor-
ial should be presented to the Ameri
can Expeditionary Forces before they
left France, but it was not ready in
me to be given to all. However, de-
rte!mirel that our men who fought
overseas should know that the French
Government appreciated their sacri-
fees, their heroism and their achieve
ments, it has requested that the mem
orial be presented to them individu-
ally. Soldiers and former soldiers of
the American Expeditionary Forces
can obtain copy of the memorial at
The Army Recruiting Station, P. o.
Bldg, Greenwood, S. :.
The French Government regrets
that the supply of this pamphlet is
so small that it cannot be distributed
generally, for it contains abundant
roof that France as nation and the
Trench as individuals appreciate in
Ill measure the glorious record Of
:nerican Arms in the war on Prus-
sianism. The Pamphlet is brief
history Of what Americans did on the
o.her side. 1t includes, also, inter-
osting figures as to the devastation
wrought by the invading enemies and
Of the great financial and CONNER
III losses inflicted upon the land of
fayette.
Even though it involves little
trouble, every reade: who is entitled
receive one of these pamphlets is
urged to obtain one, for as time goes
o, a. .UC..r
come scarcer. This souvenir will go
own to posterity as a mark of your
service to the Nation during the
World War.

MACDONALD DRAWS
AFAT PENSION

Meet "Annuity," N. C. Macdonald,
once educational expert of North Da-
kota, former state superintendent Of
schools, former rural school inspector
and now in the ranks of the retired at
$3.50 per year-all in nice Iron boys
out Of the state treasury of North Da-
kota.
When it comes to sticking to the
payroll, Macdonald has Till plaster
beaten forty miles.
When public opinion or, in the
words of Walter Thomas Mills, ''Vox
Populi." skidded Mr.. Macdonald from
the public crib it was thought that ne
passed out of the young lives of North
Dakota forever. The mystery of the
"Wandering jew" was transparent
compared to the self efacement of
Mel following his resignation a few
months ago.
But the ubiquitous MAC" is with
us once more. He is receiving a
teachers pension of $3.50 a year even
as you and l are not. paid out of the
Teachers Insurance and Retirement
fund.-
Neil will receive this for life unless
the restless masses call him back into
active service at a higher consider
alum.
1t seems that the legislature amend
ed the teachers insurance and retire
ment fund at the last session so as tt
permit the payment in lump salary
of back assessments to the pension
fund. This little financial legerdemair
makes available at once, in case of re-
tirement, an annuity Of $3.50 year.
Today, Assistant Attorney General
Packard rendered an opinion to Mr.
Berg of Dickinson, chief chancellor OF
the fund, to the effect that Mr.: Mac.
donald was entitled to the pension.
Soon after the law was amended
Mr.. Macdonald dipped into his jeans
