TAXES! TAXES

Down in Texas they are discussing
the next Gubernational campaign, and
OF course, taxation is the chief issue
One of the aspirants for the Governor
ship announces the opinion that the
cost of state government must be
more, rather than less, and mentions
ten sources of possible additional rev.
enue. in which he does not include any
additional burden.
The trouble with this aspirant for
the Texas Governorship, like aspir-
ants for office in general, is that he
does not understand the ultimate eff
feet of every tax, whatever its imme-
diate effect. He proposes, for in
stance, an increase in all franchise
taxes. on the assumption that the
holder of the franchise viii nay the
tax in the first instance, but he de-
ceives his people when he fails to tell
them that the holder of the franchise
will pass that tax on to the patron of
the concern which exercises the
franchise.
Some time ago there was a hot cam
paign in Oregon with taxation as the
Chief issue. The Democratic candi-
date went about the state dramati-
oally tearing a tax receipt in half as
a demonstration of what he promised
to accomplish if elected governor. He
has now been in office nearly two
years, taxes have not come down but
new taxes have been imposed, ostens.
IDLY on the theory that the farmer
will not have to pay them. Experience
will show that in one way or another
the new taxes will be shifted to the
back of the producer
The only way to avoid taxation is to
repeal the tax
