1t is reported in the papers that
the Ku Klux will visit the farmer
who fails to cut his cotton crop as
agreed upon. 1t appears to US that
the farmer who will break faith and
not comply with the agreement in
cutting down the acreage, is working
against his own and his neighbors
| interests.
The papers are reporting the sup
ply merchants and bankers are going
to work out the cotton acreage. This
! is good news, but if they are going
to "work out" any we think it shoulo
be done in June when there is more
grass in the cotton.
This spring-like weather has caus'

VIEWS EXPRESSED on
rEpEKAL TAXATION

FEDEBAL TAXATION
That The sentiment of this country is
tax as one of the principal sources of
federal revenue is strikingly indicated
by a recent vote of the National Council
of The National Economic League. The
vote was on a series of questions cover
ing the most important taxation prob
lens of the United States.
In the council Of the league, which IS
composed of leading men from all 2arts
of the country, are such men as ex--9res-
ident Taft, President-elect Harding, Gov
ernor James NJ Cox of Ohio, Charles W.
Eliot, former president OF Harvard, and
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Co
lumbia University.
The first question presented: Should
the income tax be retained as one Of the
principal sources Of federal revenue?"
was answered afirmatively by 30 per
cent. of the $50 members who took rart in
| the voting About one-half of the mem
bers expressed themselves in favor of re-
tanning the present minima Of taxable In
come, while Of those voting in the mega
tive, two-thirds are recorded as in favor
of lowering the mfnima. A substantial
| majority expressed themselves as opposed
| to the present rates of surtax upon in
comes in excess of $4,000 all but ten per
| cent being in favor of diminishing the
rate. About seventy per cent. are record
ed as in favor of retaining the federal
estate commonly called inheritance tax.
About seventy-five per cent. are Of the
opinion that the excess profits tax should
be abolished.
The proposal for 1evying a direct tax
by the United States upon the site value
of land, i. E., the portion of the value OF
land due to the presence and activities
of the community and to natural advan-
tages, mineral deposits, harbor 'front.'
ages and the like, was favored by 1872
and opposed by BIT of those voting Near
ly all of those who favored this form
of taxation, are recorded affirmatively in
answer to a supplementary question III
your answer is yes to the preceding ques-
ton, should the federal constitution be
amended so thai such a tax could be le-
wed at a uniform rate throughout the
United States, instead of being appor-
toned among the states in proportion to
population as at present required?'
With respect TO a tax on imports, a
majority (260) voted IN favor of tariff
for the protection of home industries, 1856
| favored a tariff for revenue only, while
| 81 are recorded as being in favor of free
trade, that is, no tariff whatever
OF the three remaining questions, the
first is as follows: Should congress un-
| dertake a survey Of the ultimate effect of
various kinds Of taxes to determine (a)
what taxes involve administrative ex-
penses diSproportionate to the revenue
collected? (b) what taxes, if any, d.
rectly or indirectly, increase the cost of
living by an amount materially in excess
Of the revenue collected? (c) What taxes,
If any, could be levied that would direct
