WILL THEY BULLDOzE PUBLIC AGAIN ?

Statements have been made from time to time in the daily press rela- tive to an attempt that will be made to nationalize the railroads.
 General w. w. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania rail road, in an address on the railroad situation, dedlivered before the In- dustrial Relations Committee of the Philadelphia chamber of commerce, says.
 "For thirty-five years I have been associated with the Pennsylvania railroad, and I am in a position to state most emphatically that no other standard has ever been follow ed in the service but that of merit For that reason, without going into the theory for or against the closed shop, there has not been any room in the Pennsylvania railroad for the closed shop nor for any labor organ ization that made the closed shop a part of it's fundamental organiza- tion-
 'When the railroads were taken over by the government, the govern ment found the Pennsylvania rail road and it's employees in this situa- tion.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the government took the position that the railroads would be returned to private ownership, not only in their then physical condition, but with la bor conditions unchanged, the propa- ganda of organization was imme- diately started. and when I returned last year, about the first of June, l found the Pennsylvania railroad organized from stem to stern.

WILL ASK FOR AN
 EMBARGO ON WOOL

The National Sheep and Wool Blu
 reau of America has announced that it would lend its entire support to
 the plan of Senator Reed SmoCt of
 Utah to secure a years embargo on the importation of wool.
 The National Sheep and Wool Blu reau of America last January se- cured the introduction of the French--Capper Truth in Fabric bill, which is designed to compel textile mauufac tureres to stamp their cloth with it's content of virgin (new) wool and of shoddy-old rags reworked in some cases as often as eight times.
 President Walker said that one hundred and ten organizations of all descriptions, some of them of na- tion-wide influence, have now en- dOrsed the Truth in Fabric measure and that five or six new resolutions are arriving at the headquarters of the Bureau daily. Among the strong est supporters of the measure is the American Farm Bureau Federation, of which J. R. Howard is president. MT. Howard is a governor of the Blu reau. MT. Howard said:
 ''The National Sheep and Wool Blu reau of America is greatly in favor of Senator Shoots embargo proposal and will give it and also the pro- posaI for a tariff high enough to adequately protect the wool growers of the United States the same whole hearted and vigorous support that it is giving the French -Capper Truth in Fabric bill.
 'Tt must be clearly understood, however, that neither an embargo nor high protective tariff would of itself be able to protect the sheep grower from his greatest foe-the junkman. Even with the embargo and the tariff in effect, the wool grower would still need the protec- tion of the French-Capper Truth in Fabric bill to shield him from the unfair competition of the rag-pick- CT, because shoddy-the product of reworked woolen rags-weuld still be sold as virgin (neW) wool under cov- CT of the misunderstood popular term, "all wool" The wool grower will be at the mercy of the shoddy interests until there is passed law making it compulsory for the textile manufacturers to label their cloth with it's content of virgin wool and of shoddy.
 "With the farmers still burdened l with their wool clip of last spring, with the storehouses of the world | choked with four billion pounds of virgin wool, with the popular de- mand for virgin wool cloth artifi- | cially diverted by certain textile manufacturers from the wool grower to the rag-picker, it is absolutely | essential for the protection of the wool growers that the French-Capper Truth in Fabric bill be enacted as soon as congress recOnYeneS"

ELIMINATE TAX EXEMPTIONS

About the only argument that seems to be advanced for the eXemp- tion of Federal Farm Loan Bonds from all forms of taxation is that the public benefits by furnishing cheap money for agricultural pur- poses.
 This theory is borne out, as the public pays all the traffic will bear in addition to making up the tax the government loses on these tax ex- empt bonds.
 In readjusting our tax laws, this is one of the first that should be changed, as it will in no way injure the Federal Loan Act, or defeat it's purpose, which is to furnish the far mers money at low interest rates.
 Adding the taxation feature to these bonds, eliminates the special privileges now attaching to them, which cause additional tax burdens to all except the present benefici- aries of the act.

THE JOY OF PAYING TAXES.


 One of the most vicious and de- moralizing by-products of the war is the boosting of the taxeater's pro- fession.
 It is a small county now that does not collect a few millions from the producers of wealth for county and local taxes.
 The smaller western states, with only a half million or so of people collect from twenty to forty mil lion year.
 The craze to get job on the pub lie payroll and then organize to get salaries and perquisites increased, is universal.
 Budgets and estimates are made up by the beneficiaries, while in pri- vate business the man who pays has something to say.
 In states and communities that have the so-called budget system, the people who have to pay the bills are not represented.
 Economy in public affairs is not possible, and taxation cannot be low cred so long as the people on the payrolls make the estimates.
 They will not abolish useless or questionable offices, and they will not make war on officialism by re- ducing the overhead.
 In the race for development of universal socialism, and general di- vision of everything, the expanding taxation craze will add great speed.

SOME FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

That the entire national debt of your government is approximately S24,OOO,O 100000, and that approxi- mately $1O,OOO,OOO,O of that sum represents loans to foreign govern ments.
 That these loans are evidenced in the treasury by demand notes, bear ing interest at per cent, signed by the representatives of the foreign governments.
 That those demand notes contain a provision as follows:
 ''This certificate will be converted by the government of (name of for eign government), if requested by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America at par with an adjustment of accrued inter- est into an equal par amount of Crate per cent) per cent convertible gold bonds of the government of name of foreign government.
 That in spite of that provision, and in spite of the fact that the first loan was made on April 25, 1917, 43 months ago, no conversion or adjustment of accrued interest has been made, although for many months the Wilson administration says it has been carrying on "dis- cussions" with debtor countries to that end.
 That, further, in spite of that provision, there is a well groundedl sentiment in England that our loan abroad do not really constitute debt at all, but should be cancel ed as part of Americas contribu- tion to the cost of war, a senti- ment that is gaining strength the longer the conversion of notes into bonds is deferred.
 That up to the end of the calen- dar year 1920, interest will have ac- crued on foreign loans to the amount of approximately $1,2OO,OOO,- 900.
 That of that sum there had been paid up to March IS, 1920, according to an official report from the Secre- tary of the Treasury, the sum of S433,OOO,OOO. That probably little, if any, interest has been paid since that date, it being the announced purpose of the Secretary to defer ''the collection of interest during the reconstruction period of two or three years from the spring of 1919."
 That pending the Treasury dis cussions," and during the period of deferment,, the American people are being taxed the full amount of in- terest which foreign governments have not paid, in order to meet the payment of interest on a similar amount of Liberty Bonds.
 That the unnecessary taxation s5OO,OOO,OOO annually, of the total amount which the Secretary of the Treasury esti- mates as required to run the govern ment for the following year.
 These are facts that should be i'm pressed on the mind of every Ameri- | can citizen and kept constantly be- fore every senator, memmber of con gress, and official of the incoming republican administration. No more pressing duty confronts those men, and they can render no greater ser vice to the people who elected them to office than to see that the ex-
The Holbrook news., 1920-12-10

plicit provisions of those foreign notes are carried out, and at an early date. When that is done a tremendous reduction in taxation will be made possible, the future re- payment of the huge principal of those notes will be assured, and an earlier liquidation of almost half of our own national debt will be achieved, through the sale either in this countrly or abroadl, of the for eign bonds received.
