THE FACTS ABOUT THE
INCREASE IN TAXES

Governor Hyde may rave an
storm and brand as liars thos
who state that taxes in rura
Missouri have been heavily in
creased as the result Of his full
'alue assessment policy, but tn
fact that taxes are higher ant
much higher than two years agt
remains the same for all his We
Aement swashbuckling.
Not only have taxes beer
heavily and inexcusably in
creased, but long step has beer
AIKEN toward the Single Tax in
hat the entire burden Of the in.
;rease falls upon real estate.
What is true in Bates county is
probably true in every rural
county in the State of Missouri
ind the records Of County Treas
irer Norwood disclose the fact
hat the increase in taxes in
Bates county during the two
ears since 1920 amount to $780,
,5O.13.
Governor Hyde states emphat-
cally and uncompromisingly that
he state taxes have not been in
reased to the taxpayers, but
hese same records show that
yates county taxpayers for 1922

aide from county and local taxes

!. Single Tax is the placing 0
all Of the burden of government
upon land. No Missourian need
be told that a dangerously larg'
| element in this state has fol
years sought to bring this about
With large strength in st
Louis and other financial cen
tiers, Single Tax has twice beer
absolutely overwhelmed by the
rural vote. No voter is simple
enough to believe that the adv0-
Gates of this system have been
willing to admit final defeat.
Has what could not be won at
the polls been cunningly brought
about through politics and the
Missouri Tax Commission' Full
value assessments suddenly COM
handed large following imme-
diately after the first defeat Of
Single Tax. Full value assess
ments commanded it's greatest
strength in the territory of the
single tax advocates. Full value
assessments have in practice re-
suited in a long step toward sim
gle tax. The figures for Bates
County taxes from 1920 to 1922
speak for themselves as to
whether this charge is true Or
false.
Bates is county whose lands
are heavily encountered. Bates
is county with comparatively
little personal property wealth
as against the great cities. If
then in Bates County the shift
ing Of the burden of taxes FROM
personal property to heavily en-
numbered lands amounts to tens
of thousands of dollars in two
years, the question is an import
ant one as to what class of prop
erty has received the benefit Of
the claimed reduction in taxation
(if any and what additional bur-
dens have been placed upon the
farms to reduce the personal
tSKes Of wealth and privilege?
In 1920 Bates County paid OIL
land and personal property for
state, county, road and school
purposes the total sum Of
$342,151.83.
For 1922 Bates County is to
pay on the same property and
for the same purposes the total
sum of
1882, 101.96.
The total increase in all taxes
in the two years amounts to
$39,950.13.
Yet by the shifting Of the bur-
den of taxation from personal
to land, of this increase
Bates County's heavily encum-
bered lands must pay taxes in
creased by a total of
$50, 1882.
While in Bates County per-
sonal property saves in its pay
ments over 1920 the sum of
$17. 500
What would be the saving In q
center Of really great wealth and
big fortunes?
In spite of Governor Hyde's
charge that local authorities are
responsible for the increases in
taxes in Bates County the county,
townships, roads and schools
have increased taxes in two years
but
$24,621.1O.
While the state takes increased
axes in two years of
$15, 329.O3.
If as Governor Hyde claims,
his entire increase is to meet the

Why Good Roads Pay.
Seattle Post -Intelligencer.)

Seattle Post -Intelligencer.) The people of the United States through national, state, county and city governments. will spend ap- proximately s100O 900. 900 in building good roads this year.
 It is stupendous sum- even in these days of lbillion-doar xpendituresenough probably to com plete about 50 900 miles of hard surface roads That is road building scale which the rail-
 road construction of the United Staesrightly called tempire buding-never approached. The construction lof 1000 miles of such roads means the saving of
 hundreds of millions of dollars to agriculture to min ing, to industry, to commerce. and most important of all, to the much harassed ultimate consumer" Statisticans estimate that the annual movement of traffic roads-of the product of farm of
 forest, of mine, and of workshoptotals $50 100000 tons-and that the average haul is eight miles. On
 the ordinary existing roadbed this haul costs approxi mately 23 cents per ton mile. That makes annual bill of $65O 900.
 The cost of hauling hard-surfaced roads is
 fgured by the statistical engineers at 13 cents per ton per mile That a saving of exactly 10 cents for every ton and mile that goods hauled Of course, the roads will represent only a
 part of the countrys highway systemsbut they will represent the most important part, and the traffic
 diverted to them will be large share of the nations highway traffic.
 That is the economy of good roads-the profit they will pay to producer and consumer4-the return the taxpayer will get for his money.

WHERE WAS THE DELEGATE?

The dispat atches tell that Congress had not sufficient information upon which to pass judgment on the necessity of $1,000 appropriation for vey for a Government wharf at Juneau. Bureaus and branches of the Departments of the Treasury, War, Navy Commerce and Agriculture had testified to the need of the wharf but there present the matter to Congress in such way to get the money.
 This suggests the question: What the Dele gate from Alaska doing? He knows the paths that lead to the various branches of the Government which favored the project. He lives in Juneau when he Is home and ought be familiar with the need for the wharf. What he doing when the Con- gressonal committee cast out the $1 900 item because of lack of information?

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Within few months there have been prosecu- tions for two very heinous crimes at Port Angeles, Washington. One of them of two accused of bank robbery and of two accused of murder because of the killing of a former service man at logging camp hod-up by hghwaymen. It might be well to interpolae that all four of the accused found guilty charged. But that is not material. The point set out to call to the attention is that in both the w. w. furnished attorneys for the defense. And it not very long ago before these two that bunch of burglars were rounded up at Port Angeles, and the ! w. w, furnished attorneys to defend them This is record established in only rather small town.
 Why is 1t that the attorneys for the l. w. w. are traveling about the country, drawing down salaries 0nd expense money, to defend those accused of com robbery, burglary and murders committed in highway robbery? Is there any connection between this fact and the fact of the great crime that have been sweeping up and down throughout the country for the last few years? Is there something than individual initiative behind the robberies and thievery and killing that has been going on with such increasing fury in the country?
 Is the l. w. w. interested in all manner of crime we'll in that which touches industrial and social problems?
