Tax-Free Securities Drift into the
Golfers Of the Rich who Thus Es-
cape Payment Of Income Taxes.

Washington. A constitutional
amendment to prevent the issuance Of
any taxexempt securities by the fed
eral government. the states or any
csunty or municipality was proposed
in the house by Chairman McFadden
of the banking committee.
Mr.. McFadden who formerly was
president OF the Pennsylvania State
Bankers association, said "S15,O00,'
100000 OF securities in the United
States are exempt from taxation
The amount nearly equals all OF
the railroad property in the country
and is over twice as great as the farm
products that are annually Sold" he
said, adding that in addition there
were nearly s25,0O0,O 100000 federal
bonds partially or wholly tax exempt
THE great injustice Of tax exemption
was not brought home to our tax pay
ers until 1t became apparent that tax
exemption defeats the purpose Of the
graduated income tax" continued Mr..
McFadden. "Tax-free securities drift
into the Golfers Of the rich, thus en-
abling them to evade the payment OF
the heavy income taxes contemplated
by law"

DRY LAWS WILL Be
R|G|DLY ENFORCED.
PRESIDENT HARDING HAS HIS
MIND MADE UP AS TO THE
PROHIBITION ACT.
POSSIBLY CALL OUT THE ARMY
II the Statute Does Not Express tho
VIII OF the People II Should 30
Either Changed or Repealed.

Marion. Ohio.-The people OF the
United States are going to learn what
prohibition means before the last day
of 1921. President-elect Harding, 1t Is
learned, is determined to enforce the
Volstead act strictly, shifting viola
tors hip and thigh. II the law does
not express the will Of the people,
Senator Harding believes 1t should be
changed, but until 1t Is changed 1t
should be obeyed as honestly as other
and older laws.
Enforcement will be accomplished,
II necessary, by the use of the United
States army, for the present situation
Is considered intolerable. Chronic
violation OF the law, in the mind OF
the President.elect, can only result In
the development of a national hypoc.
risy that will degenerate into a gen.
eral contempt for all law and all au.
thority.
Senator Harding is understood to
believe now that II the law is enforc-
cd the public will become aroused to
such an extent that Congress will be
forced to consider the eighteenth
amendment anew. He gave a hint OF
his feeling In his speech accepting the
republican presidential nomination.

Biz Business Events OF 1920.


The big business events Of 1920
we're:
One: The greatest crash in whole.
sale commodity prices since 1873.
Caused largely by buyers strike.
Buying power Of the dollar starts
coming back as cost Of living begins
topping.
Two: Shrinkage OF excess OF ex-
ports over imports with same speed
as our trade balance increased during
the war.
Three: Ending Of government con.
troll Of railroads and coal, with gen.
eral tendency back to private owner
ship and away from governmental in
reference with business.
Four: Intense credit imitation which
led to frenzied speculation, was check.
ed by banks calling loans and making
money tight. War profits and war
prices doomed as period Of defation
begins.
During 1920 wholesale commodity
prices dropped an average of 35 per
cent. They now average lower than
when the United States entered the
war, but still are SIS per cent above
prices August /, 1914.

Marion.--W. w. Neal, OF Marion,
representative from Mcdowell county,
stated emphatically that he is opposed
to the present primary election law
and he now has a bill drawn to repeal

mediately after the legislature con.
venes
Discussing the law, Mr.. Neal, said:
az state emphatically that am OPP
posed to the present primary election

man to It when 1t was first passed. I
think at the last two, elections 1t has
proyen to be farce. have bill all
ready drawn to repeal this act, and
propose to introduce II in the general
assembly.
"The reasons for the repeal are
many and manifest. 1t was supposed
TO mean the nominating power OF the
political parties would be taken OUT
OF the hands OF the bosses and placed
in the hands OF the people AS mat
ter OF fact, it'was proposed by the bos-
SEES, and think bcth the people and
the bosses now have enough OF It, IL
is plain to every fair.mnded man that
for the state to bear the expense for
one or two primaries for every elec-
ton, Just for one political party, ID
unfair.
