Expedite Tax Revision

Revision of war-revenue taxation should have
been undertaken by congress two years ago.
Business expected action on the tax question last
year, but congress failed to take up the problem.
Leaders of the national legislature are now de-
batting whether they should first take up tax
revision or readjustment of the tariff If they
are wise they will heed the complaints of tax
payers from all parts of the country and give the
right of way to the tax problem.
Closely akin to the problems of high taxes are
the big appropriations which congress has made
despite its promise of economy and retrench-
ment. The people are wondering if congress is
trying to sidestep tax revision because it will
inevitably result in reduced revenue and a forced
curtailment in the appropriations. Because of
these ramifications, the question should be taken
up at once by congress and settled.
Reports from all parts of the country ndi-
cate heavy reduction in the income taxes which
were paid on or before March Is, as compared
with payments of former years. The number of
individual taxpayers undoubtedly has increased
but the heavy payments which were made in the
boom period of 1918 and 1919 have shown a sub
stantial decrease. Another factor in the decrease
of the income tax payments is that persons of
great wealth have transferred their holdings
into tax-exempt securities and into other forms
of income that are not taxable under the law.
It is becoming and more evident that
the higher surtaxes income and the excess
profits tax not obtaining the results which
were hoped for but have become severe handi-
caps and burdens on industry and business. The
complaint against the present tax laws that they
prevent the expansion of trade and industry is
nationwide. If congress could enact an equit-
able tax law within reasonably short time that
would remove the burden which is strangling
prosperity, the action would be regarded an
excellent example of congressional efficiency.
Roger W. Babson, one of the ablest statisti-
clans of the United States, estimates that the
time which 100000 persons have given to the
preparation of federal statements between March
l and March Is has resulted in loss of about
81 900 OOO 900 in sales, $780, 10000 in manufac-
turing and $500 100000 in other lines. He de-
scribes our present tax system as drag on
prosperity, and adds:
Butts some say: Think of the $4,000, 900, 900
which the government will be able to spend this
year. This is where we are all being fooled. If
the making out of these returns and the collect
ing of the money did not cost one cent, the coun-
try would not be any better off. The whole
process is simply the 'robbing of Peter to pay
Paul, and the 'robbing' costs the American peo-
pie about So, OOO, 100000 year in actual cash.
Add to this the psychological effect upon of

A home for Geraldine is the big qucs.
ton facing congress at the present
time. Geraldine is "petful" Jersey
COW which has been presented to Mr..
Harding by man in Libertyville, o.
The president is not able to accept the
gift, however, until congress makes
some provision in the way of 4 COW
shed for the white house grounds. But
it would seem. now that home has
been provided for the ambassador at
London, by q private citizen there
should be somebody patriotic enough
to come forward and present the co.
eminent with a home for Geraldine.
The government itself could hardly
afford 10 finance such a proposition,
of course, and congress should not be
embarrassed by the matter. That the
White House COW should not be treat
ed as well as the ambassador to Eng
land seems incredible. This is a
wonderful opportunity for some public
spirited citizen.
President Harding has fallen heir to
a graveyard at Lancaster, o., which
has been presented to the last % presi-
dents in turn. Strange to say, none
of them has cared to accept it. 1t
may be necessary TO turn that bit of
ground into a form, and no president
will get out an injunction to stop this
plan.
Colonel Roosevelt's particular pet
while in the White House, was his
riding horse.
Mr.. Taft was particularly fond of
his favorite cow. Pauline Wayne.
Mr.. Wilson's pets consisted of a
flock OF sheep.

pup. '.,

administrations it will be before they

The Bay of st. George marks the

Gulf of California, and when its new
harbor is connected by short spur
of track with the railroad already in
existence, there will be an al-water
outlet through the Panama canal to

Arizona. Once, just after the Civil
war, the people of the Arizona mines
had all their supplies brought them
from California by water, the ships
steaming down the California coast
up the Gulf and the Colorado river
to Yuma, and now it seems that the
old method Of handling their products
will come into vogue again.
