DESTROYING INCOME TAX

J. Ogden Mills, banker, at the
National Tax Conference, declared
that tax-exempt securities were the
greatest evil in the whole field of tax
alton.
He declared that progressive in
come tax and tax-exempt securities
could not exist side by side, and the
latter would destroy the former.
Is there any need to point out how
excessively high surtax rates sin
against the fundamentals of a sound
tax system, in that they are becoming
increasingly unproductive, that they
encourage evasion and are too great
burden on industry, initiative and
thrift?
"Can there be anything more fantas-
tic than the government of the United
States solemnly declaring it's purpose
to take So per cent of a mans income
and then providing the means where
by he will pay no tax at all?
what are you doing through these
tax-exempt securities, backed by a
high-a very progressive in
come tax rate? You are not only dry

ELECTRIC POWER AGE

Using water power, coal and oil to
develop electricity is the industrial
line of progress of this age.
Twenty-Five billion kilowatt-hours of
electricity were consumed in the indus
tries of the United States in 1922, and
more than sixty per cent of the energy
used by three hundred thousand manu-
featuring plants was supplied through
this great flow of power, according
to a recent survey of industrial cleo

SAY ATTACK UNJUST
American Business Mer in Argentine
Resent Zaballos Talk.
By CLAUDE q. PIKr

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
Buenos Aires, Aug. 25.-American
business men in the Argentine still
resent the alleged unjust attacks of
DR.. Zaballos iii a recent lecture ut
Williamstown, Mass, in which he is
said to have charged American bust
ness here with dishonest merchandise
ing. necessitating recourse TO final
settlements BY arbitration.
1t was pointed out that a number
Of American firms got caught when
the price break came more than n
year ago. Warehouses here over
flowed with merchandise and Amer
lean manufacturers and shippers were
compelled TO auction off or dispose
in any way Of their goods. thereby
suffering losses sometimes as high as
go per cent.
Statistics show that many firms in
that same period were operating with
Spanish, French or ether foreign
names. They sprang UP during the
war, used questionable methods and
later were forced out business. But
legitimate United States business now
is blamed.
The Buenos Aires Herald today,
editorially said:
Now that American methods Of do
ing business are becoming better
known here end now that the Argen-
tines regard their northern brothers
with different feelings than they used
to. a thousand pities that Zaballos
took II upon himself to upset the
harmonious relations. a diploma
tist today is small fry compared with
a business lnGn. This is n fact an
parently not needed by such men as
Zaballos who imagine they are all
and the end Of all life. bound IN in
diplomatic tape. 1t is not en- ugh for
Zaballos to say Americans are disliked.
He must prove 1t. Zaballos' hobby
is international danger. It is a pity
that his hobby led him to make
dangerous assertions which might tend
to interrupt the evergrowing harmony
OF the Americas, commercially con-
sidered."

Long Wait Rewarded.
Musical Milan is still talking about
an occurrence which is so unique that
it is doubtful if anything similar can
be remembered by the oldest inhabi.
tant." 1t happened quite recently,
at the Verdi Theater. in Milan, and
was a specially prepared performance
of La Favorita which was given TO
sOothe the heart of a patient tenor
said to have reached his seventeen
year '.--
This singer had studied Since he
was young man; and as time pass
ed. and opportunities be felt should
have been his were steadily denied.
this tenor began TO feel that he was
an object of discrimination.
Some artists who had long known
this singer finally decided that their
friend-who had long since become
a character in Milan's galleria-
ought 10 have his chance. So they
arranged a performance of Favorita
and he was invited TO appear in the
leading tenor role.
The Verdi Theater was packed, on
the recent evening referred to, with
Italian singers and others in profess
sional music life; and when the elder
ly tenor appeared he was met with
a burst Of applause. The voice was
not strong-sometimes, experts say, a
trifle weak. But the old man sang
on; he acted with such feryor as he
could command; and at every fresh
evidence of his auditors appreciation
he responded with renewed zeal.
1t was Ibis" night. Other men,
bers of the cast were Kissed, but
not the tenor. The curtain came
down upon heart made happy
through long wait which finally
won its reward. And the following
day, walking in the galleria, this pa
tient singer (who might perhaps
have overestimated his vocal re-
sources), was the recipient of en-
thusiastic congratulations.
He may never know what his |
friends did for him. He is happy. |
He was-in his own mind, at least
Il success.
