THE FINAL TAXPAYER

Former Governor Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board told the
New York Chamber of Commerce that
the worker and the farmer are the
real payers of the surtaxes. Of
course they are and they pay most
of every other tax as well. The man
who buys goods for consumption is
the eventual taxpayer every time. He
cannot pass the burden on to some
one else in the shape of higher prices.

Secretary Wallace has made public
the fact that the federal government
has collected, since 1917, in taxes on
motor vehicles and accessories, more
than twice the sum expended in road
construction. The money received
through taxes on automobiles should
be devoted to road building and main
tenance, and it should be seen to that
the taxes on motor vehicles and gas
is sufficient to do the job, as the auto

The only possible way in which the
development of a rubber supply con-

possible, dealers asserted, was that

Could Flood Market.
Traders in close touch with London
and Singapore pointed out today that
the English and Dutch in the Malay
archipelago and the Straits settle
ments and Borneo were in a position
at the present time to pour a flood
of rubber on the market if threatened
with competition. In fact, it has re-
of output for the English rubber
producers to place prices at their
present levels and hold them there.
1t requires seven years for rubber
trees to come into bearing, and even
under most favorable conditions this
fact would leave the United States
under the thumb of the English pro-
ducers for that length of time. There
are thousands of acres of trees in the
far east now ready to produce rubber
Will not be while the present restric-

Cheap Labor Essential,
Labor is the main factor in rubber
production. Many workers are re-
quired to collect the milk and handle

producers would have to secure
labor supply comparable to Chinese
coolie workers, the cheapest in the
world. Dealers today regarded it as
doubtful If South America or Mexico
could furnish such labor, while the
overpowering advantage in proximity

IF these difficulties can be over

are prepared to extend their hearty
support to the movement. An ex-

the call for the meeting by the with
