s Effect of High Taxes. ><
From what l have seen abroad I
am convinced that excessive taxes
tend toward a leyeling downward. '.'-
; THE supply Of free capital arising
from profits. instead of being return
ed to industry, is being poured into
the Golfers OF the government.
1T is perfectly OBJ q now that
what big business wants Is precisely
what every individual wants: the op-
portunity to make living.
Never was a time more prOpitious
than the present, but we are stagger-
ing under high taxes on corporation
profits and on personal incomes.
II believe that excessive taxation,
while taking away from tho incomes
of the rich, also is taking away the
means Of increasing the wealth Of
the nation.

"There is but one way from now
