LOWER TAXES PARAMOUNT
PUBLIC Need DECLARES
GREAT NORTHERN EXECUTIVE
Excessive cost of government imposes burden
says Chairman L. w. Hi-Increase of nearly 200 per
cent In railway taxes cited as striking example Of
oppressive load producer and consumer.

st. Paul-Americans are getting
round shouldered from bearing the
hugh burden Of taxes which actually
have become oppressive because Of
the excessive cost of government, SO
let's all get together and lower taxes
so that the dollar we sweat to earn to-
day won't look like thirty cents to-
morrow.
This is a free translation of the
substance Of q statement by Chair
man Louis w. Hill Of the Great
Northern Railway In which he states
that taxes are nearly three times as
much as they were ten years ago. He
cites the increase Of nearly 200 per
cent in railroad taxes as a striking
example of how federal. state and
local government costs have increased
during the last ten years.
What the head of the board of
directors Of the Hill system did say
was that the Unnecessary cost Of
Government Is an unnecessary bur
den on production and consumption.
1t Is to your interest to do everything
in your power to encourage honesty,
economy and efficiency In all forms of
your government, federal, state and
local, so as to reduce the taxes you
pay; and likewise so as to reduce
the taxes your railroads pay, for they
become part Of the cost of your trans
portation and Of your cost Of living.
Even though the tax Is collected
from the railroad, 1t necessarily is
added to the railroads expenses and
the public must pay rates high
enough to defray those expenses, in
Guiding the taxes paid"
Official records show that taxes
paid by the railroads in the United
States in 1912 totaled $109,445, ,407
and that by 1922 this drain on earn
ings had mounted to $309, 9,47S,764.
Great Northern taxes, for example,
increased from $3,804,924 in 1912 to
$8,097,725 in 1929, or two and one
seventh times more than ten years
ago.
''It is a self-evident fact that we
must have adequate transportation
and at the least cost that high class
service can be furnished" said Chair
man Hill. And 1t is just as ap-
parent that this transportation cannot
be furnished unless rates are suf-
ficient to defray expenses. High
taxes are part of high expenses.

system .... $3,8c4,924 $8,097,725
These heavy increases in taxes,
which are indirect tax on the public,
show that your government costs
need careful scrutiny" said Mr.. Hill.
"Arethese costs being kept down as
they should be in yoursown interests?
The figures point to the answer. Your
welfare, the welfare of the public
generally, demands that taxes be
lowered.
"The railroad, which serves the
the public and actually is part of the
public because Of this service and be-
cause 1t Is owned by the public
many Of the hundreds Of thousands
Of owners of railway stocks and
bonds being employees and members
Of your community,-is in the same
predicament as the rest of the pub
lie. Taxes are q burden borne by
all Of the public and the lifting Of
the burden of excessive taxation calls
for joint effort.
"Al money expended by the state
must be collected ultimately from the
producers of wealth within the state.
The public must invariably foot all
tax bills; including railroad taxes
1t is to your interest even more than
to that Of any railroad to make and
keep them low."

? ''The cost OF government has in
creased with great rapidity, and this
increases the cost of what you pro-
duce and the cost of what you con-
sumo. This cost of government must
be met by taxation. Even when
governments borrow the money they
spend, they must impose taxes to
pay the debt with interest. The in

"They were splendid pictures, I

Crepes, Brilliance
Usher in The Spring

When God made the butterflies he
dressed them in gay colors, but
when he fashioned the elephant he
gave it a coat of somber grey.
According to an authority on the
subject, Mrs. Catherine Griebel, ex-
tension specialist in clothing of the
New Jersey State Agricultural Col
lego, it is only the slender, elegant
woman who should wear brilliant
colors; her heavy sister must stick
to neutral tones because she does
not want to call attention to her
size. Colors are many and marvel
Gus this spring, but there are all
sorts of lovely greys and taupes too.
Crepes are the thing for gowns
plain and printed; light weight and
heavy. There is crepe de chine and
fiat crepe, crepe satin and crepes
with new names--all very lovely.
Canton crepe comes in all silk and
silk and wool and the cotton crepes
are too Fascinating for words.
These last make charming dress
es, and they are inexpensive too.
Why not pay little more atten-
ton to the house dress? Most
women wear them a good part Of
, the day and is there any reason
why they should not be made as at
tractive as possible? Who wouldn
be happier making gingerbread or
washing dishes in dainty japanese
crepc of a becoming color? Il
washes we'll and needs little or nc
ironing. If it fades the dress NAV
be tinted by dipping it in one Of
the tint dyes which require no bolt
ing. The price varies from %
cents to 70 cents, depending on
quality, but an excellent piece may
be bought for so cents yard.
