AS was expected, President |
Coolidge signed the new Income |
Tax Bill. 1t was not what he
wanted, but even the slight tax
relief afforded, made it worth
his while to approve it. AS the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
pertinently says: 'The expect
ancy of the people is the sole
and sufficient reason for Presi-
dent Coolidge in signing the in
come tax reduction bill. Prom
ises of tax relief had been made.
The President has done his best
to secure their fulfllment.
"a demagogic bill was offered
for his signature, providing a
reduction of normal income tax
es, but continuing the unscien-
tific and unjust surtaXes, and
thus denying business and the
country at large, the wage-earn-
er and the consumer, the relief
from the burden of taxation
which adds to the cost of every
thing. The President, in his
message to Congress, fully es-
tablishes the ground for a veto,
but returns the bill with his sig
nature, because it is his obliga-
ton to the people.
''The reduction in the normal
taxes, half of which-or the
proportionate amount for the
first two quarters-will be avail
able in the payment the present
month, will be welcome to thou
sands of the small taxpayers.
"But it must not be forgotten
that the burden of Federal tax
alton is actually less in the di
rect assessment on earned in
comes than it is in the indirec
load which comes through tn
heavier assessments of the in
come on capital which is the lif
blood of industry, transports
tion and trade.
"A few million people in tn
country pay income taxes direc
ly. But every man and woma
or self-supporting boy or girl
the United States pays the t.
which is assessed on wOrki1
capital. Every excessive tax
creases the cost of operation,
the production of raw matters
in transportation, in the man
facture of goods, and in the
distribution. The burden
heavy taxes is thrown on t
consumer to carry in the hi
cost of living.
"The bill which Congress pa
ed and sent to the President
fers no adequate relief fr
that burden. But the Presid
hopes that the countrywide
mand for the Mellon bill will

165 pounds of butterfat valued at SO
cents a pound, earns $50 as years
gross income" he said. "Deducting
the cost of feed leaves profit of only
$40 to S12, and does not take into &C
count the labor involved, deprecia,
ton, and other overhead expenses.
Now can you honestly afford to buy
this kind of a COW? A 500 or S12s
COW will produce 800 to $50 pounds
of butterfat. You can figure the prof
it's for yourself"
Convinced of the profitableness of
investing more money in cow, the
farmer left the bank with the funds
in his hands. He started paying for
the animal with his first milk check.
One half of each milk check went to
the bank to pay off the Indebtedness.
while the farmer retained the re-
mainder for his expenses.-Bdnker-

Up to the time of going to press

a peaceable man when not drink

Groves, according to testimony, has
