His advice further, that the States, Coun- ties and municipalities follow the example set, which 1t is proposed to make far reaching is timely, and should bear fruit
 One of the things most needed in the United States is reduction in the enormous tax collections. Tax money is drawn from the active channels of trade and when taxes too high the tendency is to clause industries and trade slow down
 In rearranging taxes distinction should be made between income taxes idle capital and capital which is being worked in business and the industries.
