MARITAL MISTAKES ARE
SHOWN IN LONELY ROAD

Katherine Macdonald stars at the
Pastime theatre next Monday and
Tuesday in "The Lonely Road, an As
sociated First National release.
"The Lonely Road" starts where
most motion picture stories end-at
the altar--and presents an intricate
picture Of an American home, in
which young married couple, fail
ing in the companionship and under
standing that each sought, lose ro-
mance--and find it again.
AS the independent young wife who
resents the efforts of her husband to
mould her into "clinging vine" and
impress her with his old-fashioned
views and habits, Miss Macdonald is
said to have the strongest roles of her
screen career.
Orville Caldwell, the handsome
screen athlete, plays opposite Miss
MacD Donald as the husband whose mar
row ideas vanish only after he nearly
loses his wife and child.

KEEPING THE TAXES DOWN

Recently there appeared statement that at tne emu
of the fiscal year surplus existed in the treasury says
the Portland Maine Herald
When it was suggested that reduction OF taxes msn'
follow Senator Reed Smoot of Utah warned the pubic
that taxes could not be reduced The Utah Senator IS
more frank than some other Senators and does not hes
tate to speak very plainly.
Senator Curtis of Kansas says there must be tounu
new sources of taxation
He has found one the billboards, the advertising Signs
along the highways as legitimate subjects for Federal tax
alton.
Instead of cutting down taxes these SENATOR'S anu per
baps Others are planning to increase taxes.
The man in Congress who advocates saving money IS
not considered to be a good politician.
But the peoples attitude this question is not inc
same as that of these distinguished men.
Progress has been made putting business into the
government eliminating duplication of work. reducing
the number of useless employees and practcng econo-
mics.
If the good work continued as it has commenced IN
a little time a reduction in taxes could take place
The majority the people think they are paying hgn
enough taxes now.
They think they getting too much government anu
that it is costing them too much They want to see some
plan carried out which will consider their pocketoooks
little and enable them enjoy just good government as
they have today and pay less for it.
These are old fashioned notions but they exist and
must be reckoned with.

In their determination to eliminate railroad crossing

Penalty for violating the ordinance is fine OF not
less than IS or more 5000 for each oense Similar
city ordinances state laws throughout the country
would reduce to minimum the grade crossing death toll
which rms beweens 10000 and $4,000 persons annually
Such law which saves life would be- instead OF an

THE SHIFTING OF TAXES

There are some people who are foolng themselves
on the subject of who pays the taxes collected under he
higher of the income tax 1t is common peer thaC
under the higher rates large incomes the tax burden IS
shifted to the shoulders of rich few moments OF
unpreudiced consideration of welknown facts should be
sufficient to place that theory in the realm OF doubt II
not to disprove it entirely.
Take for instance the recent report of the financial
condition of the Ford Company, owned by Henry
Ford the richest man the world That report shows
that the Ford Motor Company controls more ready cash
than any other concern the world Obviously that cash
must be hand after payment of Federal income aXes
The conclusion inevitable that Ford Motor Company IN
cuded taxes cost of production and added them TO
the price of and tractors Mr. Ford did not pay all
the ax-most of it paid by the people who bought
Ford products
Some other large concerns supposed to be owned by
of great wealth are that manufacture clothing
boots Shoes machinery etc. Everybody knows tnat
prices of all these products high There are TWO re
sons why they hghhigh and high taxes IL Is
folly to think the high or high taxes paid in
the steel industry or coal industry come out othe
pockets of of those industries Very properly
the owner of any business includes his payroll ana MS
taxes as well as his fuel bill and his rent in his costs
of production and fixes his selling price accordingly The
consumer pays the tax when he buys the goods
Moreover there is another fact that shows quite con-
cusvey that high surax rates do not put the burden on
the men great wealth. In recent years there has been
large demand for state county school district road ds
rct and Farm Loan bonds all exempt from Federal in
come taxes" States and communities have been issuing
such in amounts thinking to get money cheap
" thereby. When men of great wealth have found no
other evadng heavy taxation they have invested
in non-axabe securities They not only have right to
do this states and communities invite them to do II
by issuing kind of bonds. If wrong has been COM
mtted bodies issuing such bonds are par
y the Rich pay their due share OF taxes
Legislation cannot make them more for the excess is
always necessarily passed on.
It is reported in the press that Secretary Mellon will
to the next session of Congress revision OF
the income law essenng the burden on all classes
and cutting the maximum surtax rate to about 20 per
cent, but the comment has been made that Congress
would cut off its right thumb to step out on
the eve of an election and reduce what the ustyvoced
stump speakers refer to the rich mans taxes"
Perhaps after studying the matter the people of the
country will the soundness of the Mellon recommen-
daon the folly of accepting the advice of vocferous
