FRANK HOGAN TO
LEAD IN TAX FIGHT
Contention Made That Ex-
emption to Evident to
Be Disputed.

Frank Hogan was chosen by the Dis
trict Bankers Association as attorney
to succeed the late J. J. Darlington as
general counsel, and will file his first
opinion in the near future on the now
celebrated case of the board of asses
sors and District commissioners agt the
District Bankers Association, contend
ing for its membership that interest on
government securities. declared exempt
from tax in the sale agreement and on
tn face of the instrumnts, is and should
be actually and in fact exempt.
1t is probable that some of the bank
erS themselves are responsible for the
condition existing today-that is the ef-
fort to collect the tax on income from
governments. 1t is understood that
some banks made reports of gross earn
ings. including the interest on govern
ment Instruments
Others explicitly exempted the earn
ings from these securities. quoting the
provisions of the law:
Exempt as to principal and interest
from all taxation by the United states,
United States, or by any local taxing
authority, except ta) estate and in
heritance taxes, and tb) United states
graduated income taxes, commonly
known as surfaces and excess profits
and war taxes.
The English in the exemption is
plain enough. and 10 Philadelphia
lawyer is needed to explain it.
1t is safe to predict that the Bank
ers' Association will, if advises to do
so. carry the case TO the highest
courts 1t is hoped. however, that the
authorities will see the justice of the
claims of the bankers and withdraw
their contention.
As to Pearings.
Bankers point out that the proposed
levy of the income from governments
may be construed as q tax on the VOL
ume of business done, does not alter
the fact that if banks are compelled
earnings. the board of tax appraisers
will be acting in conflict with the ma
tionai law as passed authorizing these
issues. by Congress
Bankers who remember their long
and laborious and yet gratuitous eff
forts to meet the needs of the govern
ment in selling these securities. are
decidedly upset that they should even
have to consider this matter Elk

Michigan has the largest farm bu-
reau county In the United States. 1t
is Sanilac, where incompleted tabula-
ton of the membership campaign re-
suits showed 1900 members, with the
final tally estimated at close to 3,400.
Iroquols county, Illinois, was the next
largest with 1850 members. Saginaw
county is likely to become the second
largest county in the country. 1t now
has 1850 farm bureau members, and
expects 500 to have more than 5000.
Membership of the Michigan state
farm bureau now is 53.051, and 1t is
growing at the rate of about 1900
weekly. The southern half of the low
er peninsula now is canvassed and the

call for the reconstructing hand of a
real business man; one who has ac-
tually wrought in the field of practi-
cal business affairs. The answer to
that call is the Republican nominee
for President, Warren G.. Harding,
who, in a typical American commun-
ity, built a large and thriving bust
ness under adverse conditions, from
the ground up, and who, through
years of actual contact with men and
Kings in the business world, knows
what business means and how it
should properly be conducted.
There is a world of theories and
words, and a world of things and
deeds. Too many protesting to be
statesmen dwell in the former, and
TOO often, charged with great re-
sponsibility, they make a mess of
practical affairs. Warren G.. Hard
ing is a product CT the school of
practical experiences; a graduate of
the university OF hard knocks" The
great business problems of govern
ment. now foremost because of the
oppressive burdens of taxation, the
vital necessity of recognizing the
government on a business basis, and
the immediate need of giving the
American business enterprise and
American agriculture and American
labor the encouragement essential to
ward off widespread commercial cal
amity as the aftermath of the war
these conditions call for a man in
he Presidency, who in the world of
practical affairs, has learned to deal
with business problems in a business
way.
And, so, in response to this imme-
late, pressing demand, Warren G..
Harding will be the nations first
business man by occupation in the
Presidency of the United States.

THE FARMERS
LOSS

1t will be of interest to our read
ers in Winnemucca and vicinity to
know that the Farmers National
Council, after an investigation last
ing several months, has filed a report
showing that the farmers of the
United States lost more than six bill
lion dollars last year. 1t is of inter
est because it will prove so quickly
that the ones who claimed the far
mers of this country were profiteers
didn't know what they were talking
about.
According to the report, the total
cost and expenditures on all farms
last year was thirty-one billion dol
lars. The total value Of the crops
was sixteen billion, and the value of
the animal products nine billion. The
labor item alone, the amount paid by
farmers for help, was five billion dol
lars. Freight charges amounted to
six hundred million.

were estimating the farmer at his
true worth, and appreciate the many
disadvantages under which he labors.
He can not take a vacation, like most
of us. for the farm must run every
day. He cannot stop at noon on Satur-
day and take up his duties Monday
morning; there is much to be done
Saturday afternoon and ON Sundays.
Then, the farmer cannot surround
himself with all the modern convent
ences known to the city. Most of his
work is drugery, pure and simple, and
that of his wife is nothing else. He
cannot adopt al eight-hour day, be-
cause the weeds are growing all the
time and insects do not work union
hours. In fact, we could recite a hun
dred reasons why the farmer is de-
serving of greater credit than most
people give him-and any one of the
reasons is sufficient to stamp as a lie
any statement to the effect that the
farmers of this nation are %profteers.

There is no altering the fact that
t~wenty-one Democratic senator's voted
for The Lodge reservations. which the
Democratic national convention de-
nounced. There is no wiping out the
fact that fourteen Democrats voted
for the Lodge reservations covering
the famous Article X, which Presi-

heart out of the covenant" Are these
twenty-one and fourteen Democrats

A BUSINESS MAN
FOR PRESIDENT

Warren G.. Harding, next Presi-
dent of the United States, will be the
first business man by occupation to
become President of the United
States.
There have been twenty-seven
Presidents holding the Office of chief
executive throughout a period of 131
years. all soldiers, lawyers, planters
or publicists by profession; not a
business man by occupation in the
whole long line. Warren G. Harding
will be the first business man and the
first newspaper man to succeed to the
office.
Yet the Office of President deals
with the biggest business concern on
earth-the United States of America
The American government is a great
corporation in which a hundred and
ten million people are stock holders.
From that corporation the people
must draw dividends, or to it they
must pay assessments. 1t deals Wit
ally with the welfare of private trade
and industry, upon which depends
the material prosperity of all these
millions. Yet until now, in all our
century and a third of history, not
one business man by occupation for
the biggest business post on earth!
Under the present national ad-
ministration the government has
broken down completely on the bust
ness side. 1t vas a Democratic
senator who declared that under the
present management every depart
ment had collapsed. Through lack
of competent business direction the
machinery of government has been
so incompletely handled that the
situation calls loudly for the services
of a salvage corps. Waste, extrava-
gance, ineficiency have cost the PEG
pie billions. They have heaped huge
burdens of taxation on the backs OF
the people. They have, undermined
the faith of tFg people in their gov
eminent. They nearly lost the wal
through the failure to furnish our
soldiers at the front with proper
equipment, and through a debauch OF
waste at home that brought imitation
proiteering, Generalization in public
and private affairs. in its wake. These
abuses, due to lack of business sense
on the part. primarily, of the Presi-
dent of the United States, still menac
the very s%olvency and safety of the
nation.
Along with all this breakdown in
the management of the nations W
business affairs, has been a totally
wrong attitude on the part of gov
eminent toward legitimate business
enterprise accompanied by an effort
to make the government itself the
universal employer and provider.
The machinery Of government has
been utilized, under the camouflage
of war necessity, to politicalize in
dustry. More interested in politics
than in business, for which the head
of the administration confesses aris-
tocratic scorn, the aim has been to
build up the public ~payrolls and de-
stroy the private ~payrolls of the
country. We have had, as someone
has we'll put it, too much of politics
in business and too little of business
in politics.
Out of this chaos come loudly the
MCKEE SAYS.
