Truth in Advertising Modern

More and more it is being impressed
upon the business man Of today that
only truthful advertising can pay ID

Farmers Pay 20 Per Cent of All
Taxes Besides Tariff

American farmers paid in all forms
of taxes a total of 81 .436,00OOOO in
1922. according to statistical report
Just issued by the National Industrial
Conference Board of New York. Ac-
eepting these statistics at their face
value. they reveal that the farmers
paid somewhat more than 20 per cen;
of all the taxes collected by the Fed
eral, State and local governments.
"The ratio Of taxes to income in 1923
was 10.6 per cent for farmers, as com
pared with IL per cent for the remain
der Of the community" says the In
dustrial Conference Boards report.
"By 1922 the ratio was 1876 per cent
for the farmers, while that for the re
mainder OF the community was 1l.9
per cent"
This aggregate Of 81, ,436,000,0O taken
from the farmers for the operation of
the national and local governmental es-
lunllSnmtlUS tuuhiNh isip bti VII VI
the value of all farm property in the
United states in 1920; that is to say
lands and buildings, implements and
machinery, and livestock.
No account was taken by the In
dustrial Board of tariff tolls gathered
from the farmers for the benefit Of the
special interests for which the Ford
-McCumber law was enacted. If
the S1,5O0,OO0OOO collected from the
farmers by the profiteers is added TO
the amount of taxes they contribute
to governmental expences, il will be
found that the burden represents about
S94 each for every man, woman and
child ON the farms of this country. OF
this sum about S36 per capita is a
tariff tax on their food, health and
comfort.
