Taxation Problems

The general principles of scientific taxation gen
orally well understood and there is little difference
of opinion concerning them. The application of those
principles in practice is subject many differences of
opinion. One of the chief distinctions between Re-
pubcans and Democrats in years has been the
matter of taxation, and there among individual Re-
publicans and individual Democrats almost great diff
ferences as there are between the two parties.
The present problem of the Republican leaders in
the matter of taxation is complicated by the various
opinions of Republicans, and it is greatly increased by
the unpleasant fact that the absolutely neces-
sary for the maintenance of the government and the
keeping of its financial obligations is much greater than
the measure of the willingness of the taxpayers Under
the best possible system in the United States will
be burdensome for many years to come, and the Re-
publican party however faithfully may strive to lessen
taxation will not escape criticism from taxpayers who
do not want to pay taxes.
Under such circumstances the best course to pursue
taxation that generally admitted and approved The
tax that rests fairly upon all citizens the tax that in
wolves the least cost in its collection and its penalties
the tax that offers the least opportunities of conceal
ment and for dishonesty, and the tax that has the
smallest effect in depressing business enterprise is the
tax that will prove to be most successful in its OPERA
tlons, and it will also be the tax that will most suc
cessfuly withstand the criticisms of false theorists

$500, 900 i'm Exhibits
AT Closed Car Show

A half-million dollars worth of motor
cars, representing the ultimate in
American coach h-buildins and mechan-
ical design, will make their appearance
at the Closed Car Show of the New
York Automobile Dealers Association,
in the 18th Regiment Armory, next
week. The Closed Car Show, plans for
which were laid several weeks ago will,

terest in seasonable cars. will be
opened formally at o'clock Monday
night.
The display will represent the efforts
of more than forty local automobile
dealers to interest prospective motor
car buyers in an entirely new kind of
exhibition, since only closed cars will
be shown, and this at a time when
winter is approaching and the desire
for closed car comfort is strongest. In
another sense tho exhibition next week
may be regarded as coming-out
affair for numerous models which here
tofore have not been seen either here
or elsewhere in dealers showrooms.
A giant searchlight has been in
stalled atop the Armory Building, at
Sixty-second Street and Columbus
Avenue, to advertise the show by
night.
In addition to the closed car exhibits
many accessory dealers have been al
lotted space, until, aside from the fact
that open cars arc taboo at this show
