A SALES TAX.

Confidential gossip from Washington brought
the word few days ago that President Harding
had been converted the idea Of ultimate sales
tax
Now comes the word that the agricultural bio:
in the house will fight any form of sales tax
President Harding has not yet told the people
why he believes its adoption wise and the insur-
gents give no reasons for their hostility. The public
mind is not yet made up. The average man feels
himself too little advised to justify reaching con-
vction in the matter.
Opposition to a sales tax is nuts" for the dem
agogue. He can cry that 1t takes the tax off from
the rich and puts 1t on the poor
This tax is ain sight" and therefore will not be
popular. The American people seem to prefer n
tax of S. which is hidden in the cost of the article,
to tax of 81 when they know that the dollar goes
for taxes.
The argument that the tax is taken off the rich
and added the poor Is not valid to the degree
1t would SEEM Most OF the excess profits tax IL
paid by the consumer To large degree sales
tax would be mere shifting and simplifying of
the tax.
Both parties to this controversy have strong ar
guments with them. The Journal will discuss tho
pros and of this subject it becomes an ISSUE

GET TOGETHER.

Today there will be a meeting in Las Cruces
of those who interested in a National Park in
New Mexico. Several representatives from this Sec
ton of the state will be in attendance. They are
not there attempt thwart the legitimate aspra-
tons OF the people in the southern part Of the state.
They will be ready to promote any plan which Is
not unjust to those historic and scenic sections
which are uniquely New Mexican
Albuquerque is not Jealous of the growth and
progress OF Ell Paso. That great city Is to be con-
graduated upon having citizens men and women
of vision. The journal admires the energy of Ell
Paso. Her growth is explained by the spirit Of her
business men.
Ell Paso is entitled to playground. No effort
will be made to block the plans for such a plac9,
unless she seeks 1t in the and at the expense
of New Mexico. We say this in spite Of the fact
that so unwse and Objectionable n choice of a
chairman of the committee was made. Experience
has led New Mexico to be suspicious of the plans
of one W. A. Hawkins. erstwhile political boss. rep
resenatve of the special interests and confidential
adviser to New Mexcos Great One.
The representatives of New Mexico will be at
the meeting in an attitude Of fairness and with a
desire for cooperation 1t Is to be hoped that a
solution agreeable to all be found. There will
be plenty of people there whose word will be &C
copied that any agreements made will be carried
out in good faith and in the interest Of all the
people.

But in its need for the federal government
conceived the scheme to watch by the gum-counters
and collect million dollars year out Of the PEN
MES the children spend for gum. 1t is said to be
easy to take pennies away from the children
But this tax had an interesting indirect effect.
1t seems 1t not easy tax to pass along. The
children wouldn't pay more than penny for a stick
of gum and to make the sticks smaller, as Is the
practice with many other taxed articles, appeared
impracticabe. The stick OF gum was at the ire
ducible minimum.
Accordingly this happened: The gum makers
that couldn't pay the tax out of profits quit Sen
ator McCumber speaking in the senate on the tax
BILL made the statement that there is but one great
trust in the chewing-gum manufacturing business
"That trust" he said, 'has driven out OF business
practically every OF the great companies. There
is only one that is still struggling for an existence.
And he asserts that that trust Is rather DESTROYS
of keeping the tax upon chewing gum. with its
enormous business 1t is able to pay It, The smalcS
concerns all over the country are unable to pay 1t
and continue"
Perhaps It is Of minor importance whether the
chewing gum is furnished by one company or by
many but It is we'll to scrutinze policy OF taxa
ton which has such effect 1t surely lie not gooo
n have the little fellows generally put out OF busi
ness and only the big trusts able to exist
Here is something for the tax-fixers to chew
upon.

POKER GAMES.

Prior to last March poker games were not for

said occasionally to have INDUCED that pastime.
OF course they have all ceased to play the game
since 1t was made crime
Rumor has IT that the stakes were not always

policies and administrative acts are said to have
been determined by those who held the high mana
Further rumors of bad aftermath to such prae'
tices reach the ears of the Journal. serious
scandal seems to impend
Some day the people of New Mexico will insist
that public office be public trust instead OF
private snap. Then officials will so conduct them
selves in the administration Of their Offices that
they will not jeopardze the money Of the taxpayer
The public welfare will be served best by our re-
framing from being more specific at this time.

DUN,s WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Dec. 2.-Dun's tomor-
row will say:
A year which has been marked
by slow and uneven economic re-
covery nears an ending with sea
sonal abatement of demand in dlf-
ferent quarters but with basic con-
ditions strengthened. At this period
when taking of inventories re-
uuires attention in primary chan
nels, activity in other than retail
circles Is not ordinarily witnessed
and was not to be looked for In the
present instance. That large oper-
atoms have been recorded in GER
tain branches, as in the hide trade,
merely illustrates the existing ir-
regularities and the conservative
dealings In most directions are rep
resentative than most of the
business. Frequent reiteration of
the statement that many buyers are
deferring important action has
been necessary this year. A fall of
about 40 per cent In wholesale
prices from the high level Of 1920
naturally had an unsettling influ-
ence everywhere and the readjust-
ment to a new basis of consump-
ton, production and prices could
not be quickly effected. Weekly

what have you brought In that

You don't need to buy a new

II thought I'd get a specially
fine one, as Mr.. Whitewash might

Jane. laughing. But, Wiggy,
dear, your name must be put on
this shirt. I'll print it on with ink
that will not fade out. Then, when
your shirt goes in the wash, with
the shirts of the Polar Bear gen.

yours when 1t comes out. I'll ink
your name on your shirt"

to mark Uncle Wiggily's shirt, all

"Oh, can't go! I must mark

place."
"Never!" exclaimed the bunny
You'll see! Toddle over to the
tea party! I'll mark the Shirt"
