ONE EFFECT
OF TAX-EXEMPTS

Investments in tax-exempt secur
ties have resulted in a reduction Of
more than $4,000 100000 in the total
net income reported for last year.
In 1916, 206 persons were reported
in the million-dollar income class. and
last year this had shrunken to only 21
persons as result Of billion dollars or
more Of tax-exempt securities being
issued every year and gobbled up by
investors. With an estimated $50 0,0O0,-
100000 Of tax-exempt absorbed by in
vestors, taxpayers with $4,000 incomes
or less pay 46 per cent of federal in
come tax.
Between the excess profits tax and
reducing incomes by investing in tax
exempt securities, We are not making
the rich poorer, but the poor are made
poorer, for more and more the burden
of the federal income tax is falling up
on those with small incomes.

DO BUMPER
CROPS PAY?

Secretary Hoover finds that during
the ten years before 1914 our product
ion did not keep up with our consump-
ton, and that our export surplus de-
creased to an average of six and one
half million tons year just before the
war. In the nine years since, pro-
duction has steadily increased, has
provided for 100000 increase Of
population and has brought our ex-
port surplus up to about 100000
tons per annum. This has been done
with a declining farm population
compared with the country's growth
rs whole. Farmers have increased
their production nearly 20 per cent,
and this year raised bumper wheat
crop only to find reduced export
demand and the price under the dollar
mark for the first time since the war.
II we are going to play safe, it is
plain what must happen to bring farm
prices into line. Cut down on trying
to raise bumper crops quit putting
most of the eggs in one basket. Get
in the hen, hog and COW business, too.
The farmer who does that will net
have to worry about Europe and won't
be in danger of going broke.

Wealthy New York families are 60
ing to solve the servant problem, and
have imported real shieks from India,
installing them in their homes as con-
fidential servants. Why import the
shieks when there are so many of the
American variety just pining for the
companionship of women. They
might just as well be put on the pay
roll-they have fondness for hang
ing around after the women folks,
and many is the home-loving man
now serving time for interfering with
their intrusions.

dollars, and SO on, there is also re-
moved the chance of reward that ID
the stake for which the average able
bodied American strives.
The majority of capitalists today
started as hand workers, and yet, &C.
cording to the radical politicians and
labor agitators, the salvation Of the
country lies in denying to others the
chance which these men had to bene-
fit themselves and incidentally hu-
manity in general through the modern
conveniences they have given to the
humblest American citizens.

"An Association for the Abolish.
ment of Hay Fever Sufferers is Now
Probability" That is the headline
that appeared in a leading western
daily. The article did not explain
just how hay fever sufferers were to
be eliminated, whether by execution
or banishment, though we presume
this to be an association of sufferers
formed to combat the disease. Any
how. the headline writer's do leave a
great deal to the readers imagina-

THE WRONG
PICTURE

It seems ridiculous to hear politi-
clans and labor agitators get up and
tear the air expounding on the fight
between labor and capitol. To hear
their speeches and public utterances,
an uniformed person would have a
vision of wealthy men in this nation
hiding behind breastworks of money
bags and fighting off starving mil
lions who are trying to scale this wall
OF gold. In the next breath we read
in our daily papers that a rich employ
er in New York has turned over his
clothing business to few employees.
Automatically these employees must
become the hated capitalists and take
their places behind the barriers OF
gold, which in turn the workmen they
hire will strive to tear down.
Is not this the wrong picture tc
flash constantly before the eyes OF
millions? Is not capitalist any in.
dividual who saved fifty or a hundred
dollars and through wise investment
either in a peanut wagon, a bootblach
stand or an industrial or government
bond, caused that money to earn more
dollars? Is the man who saved one
hundred dollars which he puts in q
public utility or sawmih property
where, with money contributed by
hundreds of others like himself, II
employees thousands of people at good
wages, bad citizen? Yet he is q
capitalist just as truly as the man who
invests hundred thousand or mil
lion dollars.
Where there is removed the incen-
tive for the man with one hundred
dollars to increase that amount of one
thousand and then to ten thousand
