MEXICO WILL PAY INTEREST.

New York, Sept. 6.-The Am erican section of the information al committee of bankers on Mex ico Monday made public a sum- mary of the plan of readjusting Mexico's external debt of $7OO, OOO,OOO which was included in their agreement last June with finance minister Adolfo de la Huerta. Simultaneously the plan which provides for resumption of interest payments, in default since 1913, was given out in London. Paris, Mexico City and Berlin.
 After listing the bonds and other obligations of the govern ment and the National railways of Mexico, which, under the program are to be returned to private management, the bank CTS recommended certain conclu sions, to the security holders.
 In view of these conclusions, the Mexican government will set aside during the next five years, 5O.OOO, ,OOO pesos ($25, ,OOO,OOO gold United States dollars) so as to resume at the end of that-period full cash service on it's obliga tions.
 If for any reason the proposed plan is not fully carried out, the bondholders are to resume their contractional rights as existing prior to that time.
 To meet the bond coupons maturing after January ?, 1923, the Mexican government will place in a special fund the entire proceeds of the oil export tax. 10 per cent of the gross revenues of the national railways and the entire net operating revenues of these railways.
 Interest payments of these coupons will, during the first year, be made on a scale vary ing from 50 to 100 per cent on the external loans, at the rate of 25 per cent on the internal three and five per cent bonds, 50 per cent on state bonds and in general from 50 to 65 per cent on the railway loans, except that the railway notes secured by the government bonds are to receive 100 per cent.

Two Essentials of Develop
ment.

If voting and tax paying are not
to be made a mockery, The Manufac-
turer believes that every adult citi-
zen who is not a public charge should
pay some form of a state tax.
1t should be made a matter of hon.
or that men and women who get all
the advantages and protection of
government and make a living in a
commonwealth should pay some
thing.
What better certificate of citizen
ship or proof of registration to entitle
one TO vote at an election that i'm
poses taxes or issues bonds than the
fact that you have a tax receipt?
Another essential of development
affects industrial conditions-reduc-
ton of unemployment to a minimum
"a system that would leave no ex-
cuse for tramps or idleness.
Every county in place of a poor
farm should have a tract of wild land
being cleared and subdued, with a
place for the unemployed to eat,
sleep and work and not be robbed,
1t is foolish and criminal to allow
hundreds of men and women in each
county to go unemployed when they
might be earning a living and be
creating valuable productive prop.

tepriseS.
s Creates social unrest.
The committee proposed a conSti-
tGtionsl amendment prohibiting IS
Suance of tax exempt securities, de-
claring that they permit establish
ment Of a privileged class of wealthy
investors who enjoy all of the ben
eftS of public expenditures but who
pay nc share of them, and that the
added burden of taxation is thrown
on those with small incomes. The
committee reported that at the close
of 1921 there were at least Sl5,000,-
100000 of tax exempt securities in
existence and that during the last
year ST ,000,0 00, 900 worth of tax eX-
empt securities were issued, with in
d~ications that the amount this year
will be about the same.

Peril of Issuing Tax
Exempt Securities.

Eight reasons why issuance of tax
exempt securities should be stopped
were advanced by the congressional
ways and means committee in its
recent resolution recommending pas
sage of legislation prohibiting the
issuance of such securities.
As the committee sees it, tax ex-
emption does all Of the following
things:
/. Causes great loss Of revenue
by permitting large portion of prop
erty 70 escape taxation.
2. Violates ability principle of tax-
alton md discriminates unfairly be-
tween taxpayers.
8. Impedes private f1an cling.
4. Discourages investment in new
enterprises.
S. Encourages extravagances Of
governmental agencies.
6. Grants a private subsidy to GER
tain interests.
7. Increases rate Of interest re-
quired for all enterprises not carried

The State Income Tax.

On top of a federal income tax
a state income tax is to supply the
tax eaters more revenue"
A state income tax means a new
machine established in the state with
a frightening chain wound around
the taxpayers neck.
1t means a new department of
state government with inuuisitorial
powers over the personal affairs of
the citizen and the system to be ea-
tended.
An army Of officials, with experts
to overhaul your books and investi-
gate your investments, will be added
to the state and county governments.
If you, dear fellow citizen, like
more of this sort Of thing, more fat
salary drawers, vote for it and and
it will be fastened on you forever.
They will tell you it is to cinch the
big fellow-but nine times out Of
every ten he will find a way to es-
cape or shunt it onto the little fellow
to pay,-The Manufacturer.

Railroad Strike Contentious.

As nearly as we can figure it out
here is a plain and impartial state
ment Of The contentious of the rail-
roads and the strikers:
THE letting repair work to out
side contractors.
Protested rules embraced in
wage board decisions.
3-The recent reduction in wages
ordered by the wage board.
4-Establishment of a national ad-
justment board.
After a satisfactory adjustment of
these four matters has been made
the strikers demand reinstatement Of
all strikers without impairment of
their seniority rights.
The railroads agreed to the first
and fourth propositions, and to a re-
hearing on the wage scales, but could
not agree to restore the strikers to
their seniority positions as against
men who stayed on the job.
The strikers insist on return of Sc
niority rights before they will call off
the strike.
This leaves responsibility for the
strike solely upon the leaders of the
strikers.
The stage is simply being set &c
try and force government operation
Of the railroads. If radical labor
leaders could force such a situation
they feel il would be easier to secure
their demands than from private
management which cannot fall bach
on the taxpayers to cover deficits a:
the McAdoo railroad administration
did.
The public has not forgotten th'
bill it paid and is still paying for thu
two years our railroads were unde
political control.
The cunning campaign that is nov
being waged to nationalize the rail
roads has no support from the aver
age citizen who is not in favor O
radical leadership which incites me-
to refuse to obey court orders an,
government rulings. Let the peopl
think.-The Manufacturer.

the other: We have the single tax

tax plan for Skinning the rich. We
have a constitutional amendment in
come tax scheme for skinning nearly
eyeVboiy-all to pay the tax-eater,
In the past 10 years, the levieS for
government purposes in Oregon in
creased FIVE and a half times in 1906
the average tax per $1,000 of assess
ed valuation was $3.50; last year,
it was S39.5S. In the last 10 years
in Portland, taxes have increased
about 10 per cent. Hence the wall
ing. Hence the grange income tax
measure for skinning the rich, the
constitutional income tax measure
for skinning nearly everyone alike,
and the single tax measure for skin
ming everybody but the single takers.
As a community, we know that
government is costing US too much.
We are, as Benjamin Franklin re-
marked under somewhat similar cir
cumStanceS, paying too much for our
whistle. And as a community, all we
are doing about it is trying to find
some method Of continuing to pay
more than the sort of government we
are getting is worth by skinning one
another.
Carrying our present heavy load
Of taxes, We are staggering toward
bankruptcy. That is obvious. The
adoption Of any of the proposed mea-
sures will merely hasten our fnan-
cial ruin. Single tax, grange income
tax, or constitutional income tax
Who that can close up his business
even at a loss, and who has enough
left to pay his fare out of the state
will stay to endure the exactions pro-
posed by these measures? And who
that is not looking for a comfortable
seat BY the hreside Of the commod-
ious institutions We provide for de-
fectives will come to a state in which
any Of these measures are tolerated?
If the problem of greater expendi-
ture than income that faces the COM
munity confronted the individual,
how would he meet it? BY contin-
uing the extravagances that caused
it, and by s~quandering his assets to
temporarily avert the inevitable
bankruptcy? Hardly. He would be-
gin pruning, and would continue cut
ting and e%conomizing. He would
discharge incompetents, and make
the employees he kept earn their pay.
He would require and would get full
value for his money. He would do
all the things the community is not
doing.
When We stop and think that we
know We are being taxed to death,
and that we are doing nothing to pre-
vent the inevitable funeral, we must
admit that the community is an odd
sort.-Portland Spectator.

AmundSen recently sailed from
Seattle to become icelocked in the
hope that he might drift across the
north pole.
What's the use, you wonder. Man

and there wasn't anything there but
a lot Of cold weather. 1t was a lone

Columbus was jeered when he

To his own amazement he found new
shores. Even when he returned TO
tell his tale wise men declared the
venture interesting but what's the
use; the new found land was so far

Recently some mountain climbers
seeking to set foot on the roof of
the world assembled the UNEMPLOYED
attitudes Of Mt. Everest. High up in
the Himalayas they found vast pla-
teaus, rich in soil with forests and
lakes and grasses such as are found
in the north tier of American states.
These were not little pocket spots in
the mountains but a vast region that
would measure out Minnesota and
MGntanaS.
But what's the use of II all? We
say, we can't get there. Mile high

The legislature Of New York came

the horses that made possible this
great nation of homogeneous people
more than three thousand miles long.
They jeered at Fulton's boat. 1T

ment it moved up the river.
When the first steel ship was
launched foolish folks went down to
see it sink. The crowd saw only the
iron hull; they knew iron sinks. The
inventor saw the air in the iron hull
he knew the air would float.
The world today is full Of out OF

be as much a part of the busy world

Accessory to Our Own Rob-

The community-whether it is a

is an odd sort. Here it is in its
state capacity, wailing bitterly over
its frightfully heavy taxes, and try

ening the tax burden. AS a commun-
