SALES TAX
In Canada is Not Proving
Successful
Not Near the Revenue Pro
ducer as Our Income
Tax

Westinghouse Sales tax advocates
in Canada are less enthusiastic over
this plan, since it has been given a
practical test in that country, says the
special correspondent from Ottawa to
the Washington Herald and New
York Evening Post.
at is noticed that not nearly as
much has been said recently about the
advantages of the sales tax This
was bound to happen the more the
subject was inquired into," says the
correspondent, who adds that if the
Canadian law was transplanted to the
United States it would not yield more
than per cent of the revenue re-
quired.
"A study of the results of Cana
dian taxation methods during the last
year will bring one to the conclusion
| that not the sales, but the income tax,
is by far the best revenue producer, y
he says.
at is worthy of note that the in
come tax has made good in a sur
prising manner at time when the
results from the sales tax have been
disappointing.
"The income tax has produced the
surprising results it has during the
present year, and that while other
taxes were falling down SO badly, be-
cause it has touched the real source
of surplus wealth. Those who pay
; the income tax have proved income;
moreover, in the case of a very large
proportion of such persons, their in
come has not been adversely affected
by the decline in general business be-
cause it has been derived very largely
from bonds bearing relatively high
rate of interest over a long period.
"The sales tax collections have been
disappointing because, taken on sales
at time when prices have been very
much debated, the natural effect has
been to reduce the value of sales, OF
the very thing on which the tax is
collected Moreover, the natural re-
luctance to buy has been increased by
the increase in cost represented by
the tax. The net result is that the
receipts from the sales tax are dis
appointing because they are being
taken from gradually declining vol
ume of business

STEEL PROFITS
Past Fourteen Years AS
sumo Fabulous Pro-
portions

New York.-"Our great steel in
dustries have enjoyed prolonged era
of the most phenomenal prosperity
ever known" says the editor of In
dustrial Management, an engineering
magazine, in an article urging lower
steel prices.
He shows that for IA years prior
to the war the steel trust kept pri-
ces high enough to yield clear profits
of no less than 78 per cent of the
total labor cost of their entire pro-
duct, including all official salaries
The five years of war followed, and
manufacturers are richer than ever
before in the history of this industry.
The editor complies the steel trusts
phenomenal profits from income tax
and other reports, and calls attention
to the "prodigiously profitable war
prices which have been maintained for
the past five years." and to the
amazing increase in total assets,
cash surplus, expenditures for ordi-
nary repairs, new construction, etc"
"a year ago the steel workers
were striking for higher pay and the
right to organize, and Judge Gary
met the issue effectively with 10
per cent advance in wages. But now
it happens that the corporations own
customers, and the entire steel-con-
suming public are out on strike
and we may be sure they will stay
out until the steel producers definite
ly abandon war prices, and actually
put into effect scale of prices that
will induce orders"
The editor recalls the refusal of
Director General of Railroads Hines
in May, 1919, to pay SAT ton for
steel rails because the was was over
and the $28 pre-war rate yielded
"very handsome profits"

CO-OPERATION!
Family Life, Church, Schools
and Government Depend
On 1t

Washington.-Th term "co-opera-
ton" is derived from two Latin words
-"co, meaning together, and "ppero," )"
which means work, says the ALI
American COOPERATIVE Commission,
in it's weekly news service.
"Co-operation is working together
That is very simple, and yet it con-
tains a truth so profound that men
have not yet fathomed its possibili-
ties. The great institutions of civili-
zation are all based on cooperation.
Without it there could be no family
life, no churches, no schools, no gov
ernment; society would be plunged
into the abyss of hopeless anarchy,
and human progress would be impos-
sible.
But what is we carry cooperation
to it's logical conclusion, and insist
that there is no more reason why
men should not work together for the
common good in industry and inter
national relationships than IN the
home, the school and the maintenance
of government?
"What would happen to industrial
autocracy, to privileged monopoly, to
war? The crucial issue before world
civilization to day is just this; Shall
we cling to the jungle law of COM
petition and continue to cut each
others throats, or shall we strive to
construct civilization on an enduring
cooperative basis? This is not a
dream. Unmitigated competition is
leading straight to more war, more
industrial strife, more social ruin. BY
cooperation alone can men work hap
PLY and peacefully together to ere
ate a higher civilization"

CAN'T PROBE COMP ANY

Philadelphia.-The state supreme
court has ruled that the public SER
vice commission has no right to in
quire into the reasonableness of an
nual rentals, approximating $100,000,-
900, which the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company pays to underlying
companies.
The commission insisted that it has
the right to know what the company
does with its money but the court
held that what a public utility does
with the money it receives by way of
reasonable return for the service it
furnishes" is no concern of the pub
lie service commission or the public.

BREAD PRICES
TOO HIGH
Out of Line With Wheat
Price, Says Senator

Westinghouse Capper wants
to know why the price of bread has
declined but per cent in New York
while wheat has dropped 388 per cent
and flour 40 per cent.
"The prices charged the consumer
in Washington and many other cit
ies," he said, "are wholly out of line
with the prices the producer is re-.
ceiving for the products of his farm.
The governments latest statistics
show that in the city of Washington
there has been a reduction of but Ia
per cent in the price of bread since
the peak of war prices was reached.
"Out on the farms the price of
wheat is back almost to pre-war level,
but the Scent loaf of pre-war times
is only a memory.
even out in the wheat country
itself the bakers are still exacting
high prices. In Kansas City the price
of wheat has declined 37.7 per cent,
but, according to the lotest govern
ment reports, the price of bread has
declined only 13 per cent"
