of them camped along some stream or

camp grounds. A few rented ground
from the Forest Service and lived in
their own summer homes. They left
money with the business houses of
the various cities. Casper received
$17.52 on an average, from every auto

World Filling Up

During the last 100 years the pop
ulation of the world has doubled. 4
little more than century ago $50
million people struggled and fought
for something to eat. Now we sup
port 100 million persons in the
world and they live better than ever
before in the history of the country.
It's question, however. whether the
next generation will be satisfied to
live on what they will term our mod
crate scale. In the U. S, it is said,
that we are falling behind 200 farms
a day in maintaining the ratio be-
tween farms and eaters. In discuss
ing the question of the world filling
up. an exchange asks this question:
"Will the time come for us that has
already come Off China when famine
and pestilence will be common eNper-
fences and not an unmixed evil. be-
cause they will relieve population
pressure and protest against hunger
those not destroyed" 1t would be an
easy matter to double our food out.
put. At the present rate of increase
of eaters, the doubling OF our yield
would be very adequate. And how
slight an appreciation of the needs of
the future is reflected in our appre-
hension lest food production is perma-
nently overdone.

dition in Colorado, the man who may

| The following is quoted from let.
ter written me by Ex-Governor Her
| bert S. Hadley, formerly Of Missouri,
| now of the School of Law of the Uni
versty of Colorado:
THE idea that we haven't here in
Colorado enough wealth to meet all
our proposed expenses of government
without unduly burdening any citizen
is all wrong. The people of Colorado
paid in 1921 over s25,00O,0O0 to the
Federal Government in income taxes.
This was more than was paid by the
people of Kentucky. almost twice as
much as was paid by the people of
Nebraska, s4,OOO,OOO more than was
paid by the people of Oklahoma, or
Oregon, and almost as much as was
paid by the people of Iowa, Kansas
or Washington. While I question
whether the wealth of Colorado is as
evenly distributed as in any of these
other states, it is here and the prob
lem for the Legislature to deal with
is to see that all wealth shares its
burden Of taxation. This it does not
do now. The man of moderate
means, the farmer the merchant, the
stock raiser, the home and real es-
tate owners, and the public utilities
all of whose property is fully assess
ed and taxed, pay their portion and in
addition they pay the taxes of those
whose property is not now assessed
and taxed. The way to reach, the
only way to reach effectively this un-
assessed and untaxed wealth. as the
experience of other states and coun-
tries has clearly should. is through
an income tax law.
In response to your request for
specific suggestions I would enact a
straight income tax law, imposing a
tax of two per cent with such exemp-
tions are as usual with further de-
duction for taxes paid on tangible
that burden of the already overburden-
ed property owner would not be in
creased. By such a law. l am conf
dent our taxes, state and local, could
be reduced at least a third and the
saving to the present tax payers mea-
sured in dollars instead of cents as it
will be by the proposed reduction in
state expenses"
The income tax is not a new ieda, it
is now in existence is some twenty
odd states in the Union, none of
which 1 believe have ever repealed
such an act.
| therefore feel that the solution of
our tax problems are not to be found
a measure similar to the Lambert
Bill which would eliminate useless
boards and commissions and consol-
idate others thereby saving expenses
and make for greater efficiency. It
is not to be found in the stopping of
duplication of courses in the institu-
tions of higher learning. altho this
too. in my opinion. would save ex-
pense. The question is this, if we
continue to MAINTAIN our present stan
dard of schools. roads and the proper
maintenance of our penal and charit-
able institutions. the only means that
l see of lowering our very high pro-
perty tax is thru state income tax.

solutely necessary and there should
be saving wherever saving is posst
BILE.
Let us get down to some fundamen.
tai facts:
/ venture the assertion that there
| are over 100 per cent more students
in our institutions of higher learning
in Colorado today than there were
ten years ago. Few people would
argue that this is not a good sign,
| and fewer yet perhaps that these in
stitutions should not be properly
maintained. This means taxes.
2. AS Colorado grows and takes
her place as the large commonwealth
that she is, her various penal and
charitable institutions necessarily
grow and consequently add greater
cost to the taxpayer.
3. We hear of the wonderful roads
in states like California, Pennsylvan-
ia and New York. and hope that Colo
RADIO will be able to proportionately
do her share towards the building and
up-keep of proper roads across the
mountains to connect up the farming

Importance to the railroads for the
producer who desires to get his pro-
duce to market, Just as it is to the
tourist and the business men All the
great countries of the world have
built up their roads, both for COM
merce in times of peace and for
transportation of war materials in
times of war. Colorado is following
along with these states in its endea-
vor to build up its highways.
l have been since the beginning of
this session in favor of the repeal of
the Y mill for roads, which was add
ed in 1919 as a temporary levy i'm
mediately following the war This re-
peal in itself would save s75O,OOO per
year in taxes. or almost as much as
the saving would be if we eliminate
this whole IA per cent, which is used
for executive, legislative, judicial and
other departments of state govern
ment. Should this be done, however,
1 am of the opinion. that we should
add another l cent tax on gasoline
which would replace for our roads the
amount that would be taken away as
a property tax. leaving it to the man
with a car who actually uses the
roads to pay in proportion for the
benefits he receives from these roads,
and thus relieving the taxpayer
In brief few who actually stop to
think wish to hinder Colorados ad-
vancement along educational lines or
the continuation of better roads to
market. l hope that l have demon
strated that, as I stated in the report
by the Committee appointed by the
Denver Civic & Commercial asocia-
tion. the saving in any code bill so
far as administrative cost is concern
ed is bound to be small and not of
appreciable notice on the tax sched-
ule.
What then. is the solution of this
puzzling tax problem? To me there
is but one answer and that is a tax
on intangibles for the purpose not of
raising more money to spend but for
the purpose Of reducing property tax
Statistics show that in Colorado today
9S2 per cent of all taxes paid for
city, county and state purposes are
assessed on tangible property. Is this
this fair? Should not these intangi-
bles whose owners receive the bene-
fit of the money spent for schools,
roads. police and fire protection and
the benefits Of municipal, county and
state government their proportionate
share? They pay an income tax to
