TAX EXEMPT SECURITIES.

Officials of the internal revenue de-
partment are concerned over the loss
of revenue from income taxes because
the rich are putting their money into
tax exempt securities. The number
of those paying a tax on incomes Of
million dollars and more was 141
in 1917; in 1918 in was g.; in 1919,
IS, and in 1920, only 49,. It is esti-
mated that between eighteen and
twenty billion dollars are invested in
tax exempt securities, and an invest
or would have to get between % and
% per cent in ordinary corporation
bonds upon which he would have to
pay an income tax, to get the same
return he would on four per cent
tax exempt bond. To remedy this it
Is proposed to make all state and
municipal bonds subject to taxation.
We do not believe this would re-
suit in making the rich pay any more
taxes. What 1t would do would be
to make these municipal and state
bonds less desirable as an investment
and they would have to offer a much
higher interest on them to find buy
ers and the taxpayer would have to
pay this higher rate. The million
aire would find foreign or other Sc
curities upon which he would not
have to pay what he considers an
exorbitant tax. The Russian peasant
refused to produce when the soviet
took all from him but bare living.
The millionaire will not put his mon
ey into productive enterprises II the
government takes too large share
of his profits and will not guarantee
him against losses.

ECONOMY DEMANDED.

The main issue in the election Of
Idaho recently was greater economy
in government and lower taxes. In
fact that was the principal issue in
many of the states. The expense of
government has gone up everywhere,
as has all other expenses, but the
ability of the taxpayer to pay the in
creased cost has not gone up in the
same proportion Owing to the low
price of his products and ability of
the farmer to pay higher taxes has
greatly decreased.
All of the newly elected officers,
state, legislative. and county, clearly
understand that expenses must be cut
to the lowest point. But the taxpay-
err must not expect too much. The
state must keep up its government
machinery. it's public buildings, and
its roads. If it does not spend enough
to keep these in good condition it
leaves a burden for a succeeding ad-
ministration to shoulder. But it can
undoubtedly make some reductions
and this will be done.
The county must keep the schools
up to a proper standard of efficiency
and the schools take about half of
the county taxes. 1t must have mon
ey to carry on the county govern
ment, although some of the depart
ments are more than self-supporting.
And it must pay interest on its bonds
and outstanding warrants II all de-
linquent taxes were paid the county
would be on cash basis, and expen-
ses could be reduced. 1t is certain
the newly elected officers will do
their utmost to reduce expenses
wherever it can be done without i'm
pairing the service. II the farmers
were prosperous, and therefore all
the rest of us, no complaint would be
made today about high taxes.

A CHANGE NEEDED.

Unless special session is called
the new Congress just elected will
not take office until December 1928
about Is months after it was elected.
The present Congress and Senate will
function until the fourth of next
March. although the election shows
that it is not fairly representative Of
the people The Wilson administra-
ton, which was so thoroughly repud-
lated in 1920, continued legislating
until President Harding called the
new Congress in session in March.
There ought to be some way by which
an administration which no longer
represents the wishes OF the people
can be at once turned out and one
that does represent them can be put
in. They manage these things bet
ter in England. For instance, as
soon as Lloyd George and his gov
eminent could not secure the sup
port of Pertinent, or what amounts
to the same thing, the support of his
cabinet, he dissolved 1t and called for
an election, and within a month or
two new parliament will be elected
and Immediately convened.

when there were no railways and
travel was by coach or horseback

CALL FOR FARMERS CONVENTION

Miles Cannon, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, has sent out call for
a Farmers Convention, to be held in
Boise, Tuesday, December 5. It is
called for discussion of the agricul-
tural problems of the state and will
take such action as may be deemed
necessary to promote the interests of
agriculture.
Governor-elect Moore will address
the convention in the morning on
agricultural Policies for Idaho" fol-
lowed by a discussion of conditions
now existing and policies needed to
increase the farmers income.
There will be four divisions of the
convention: First, Farmers interested
in the production of hay, potatoes,
head lettuce and general farm pro-
ducts. Second, Farmers interested in
the production Of fruit. Third, those
interested in the production and sale
Of dairy products. Fourth, farmers
interested in the production and sale

STATE DEBTS.

A recent compilation shows that
the total Indebtedness of all Of the 4S
states is over billion dollars. The
federal debt is about twenty three
billion, of which over three-fourths
is for past wars or preparations
against future ones. OF the states,
South Dakota has the largest indebt-
edness, SIS per capita, but over half
of this is to provide funds for its ru-
raj credit system. Most of the in
debtedness Of Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon and
Washington were incurred to provide
soldiers compensation. Only FIVE
states have per capita indebtedness
less than one dollar, Florida being
lowest with only two cents per cap
tia and Iowa next with eleven cents
Nebraska and Kansas are the only
states with no Indebtedness. Idaho
stands thirteenth to the top with
1887 per capita, and Utah with
$22.33.
But comparing the debt with the
assessed valuation of the states,
which is the fairer comparison, they
do not look SO bad. The highest ra-
ito is Oregon where the debt is AIS
per cent. This is the only state where
the ratio is higher than three per
cent, and in only three more is the
ratio higher than two per cent. In
fully two-thirds Of the states the ra-
ito is less than one per cent, and in
nearly half of the states the ratio is
lower than half of one per cent.
Much Of the Indebtedness is for roads.
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1922-11-24
THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

The unofficial election returns give
Moore 4S.5OO. Samuels 3S,5OO and
Alexander 25,50O. 1t gives the bal
ance of the republican state ticket
somewhat larger plurality, as Sam
uels was high man on the progressive
ticket. OF the senators elected "a are
republicans, II are democrats and 5
progressives. In the house there are
81 republicans, % democrats and 6
progressives. The republicans will
therefore have small majority.
1t is quite certain that direct pri-
mary law will be passed, as good
many republicans declared themsel-
yes in favor Of it before election, and
some who did not declare themselves
were in favor of it, or have since
seen the light.
1t is doubtful if Senator Borah's
campaign materially injured the re-
publicans. What it did do was to
crystalize public sentiment in favor
of the direct primary and induce a
great many republican candidates to
declare themselves in favor if it and
therefore save the republican vote. It
is significant that neither Governor
Moore nor any Of the other republi-
can candidates that we have heard
of, attempted to defend the party con-
vention system. They doubtless saw
which way public sentiment was
turned.

THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE.

The surprisingly large Progressive
vote in Idaho does not mean that a
large number of farmers have been
converted to the principles Of the
Progressive party. 1t is simply a
proof that the farmers are dissatis-
fed with their condition. They
blame the old parties because pota-
toes are only 40c, or freight rates
are too high, or they can't borrow
money easily, or they can't have their
notes extended. Neither the Pro-
gressive party or any other political
party can help the farmer in his
present unfortunate situation. He is
the victim of natural conditions. Be-
cause potatoes were a good price last
year he made potatoes his principle,
and in many cases, his only crop. He
freight rate that would afford him
any appreciable relief would be
ruinous to the railroads.
It looks as if diversified farming,
cooperative marketing, more dairy
cows and hogs. smaller farms more
IuJcuolSciy CultlVdIcu, WOuIu duOIu
more relief to the farmer than any
sort of legislation. We think one Of
the worst tendencies today is the
growing habit of looking to the gov
eminent for help in every difficulty
that arises. The manufacturer, the
wage Garner, the social reformer, the
educator, every class and every sec
ton wants some sort Of legislation
passed, some appropriation made or
some extension of credit given to
render them assistance. 1t is still
true that God helps those who help
themselves.
That Ace potatoes is the reason for
the big Progressive vote is proved by
the fact that out around Springfield
or wherever the farmers have raised
alfalfa seed and therefore made good
money the Progressive vote is very
small. If there are good crops and
good prices the next two years the
Progressive vote will have disappear
ed, for it is based upon discomfort,
not upon any we'll understood prin-
ciple.

our present system was all right. But
today when one can get from Cali
fornia or the most distant state to
Washington in three or four days it
is entirely out Of date, and a change
is needed.

PASSION FLOWER"
 SPANISH DRAMA.
Miss Nance 0'NeiI Comes to the Jefferson in Dra-
 matiC Success

Seldom has native actress achieved such an overwhelming sue cess in a dramatic play imported from foreign shores to the American stage as has Miss Nance O'Neil in The Passion Flower" by Jacinto Benavente, Spain's greatest drama tist, and in which Miss 0Neil, sup ported by capable cast, will appear at the Jefferson theatre on Monday and Tuesday nights with matinee Tuesday.
 The premiere at the Greenwich Vil- lage theatre two seasons ago (the piece is now in it's third seasonH was personal triumph for the star and vindication of the faith of her self and her manager, Richard C.. terndon, who produced the play on Q costly and elaborate scale in spite of the Irejudice against foreign plays. and especially the fact that Benavente at that time was little known in North America.
 Since that memorable night, how aver the works of the distinguished Spaniard are much better known through the publicity given him by Miss O'Neils instantaneous success. Miss ,O'Neil herself, to usa her own exrresslon, has fallen in love" with the great works of this author, and feels that she has at last found the playrieht whose motif and feelins are quite in tune with her own tenn perament and technique.
