Tax Burden Growing
Larger Every Year

Washington-Taxes for all pur-
poses in this country have increased
127 per cent in five years, according
to report by the federal trade COM
mission. The total tax paid in 1922
constituted nearly one-half of this
amount.
1t is estimated that Of the 32,000.-
100000 tax exempt securities out
standing, $4,500,000,000 were owned
by wealthy individuals and nearly
$12,O0O,O00,000 were owned by cor
porations.
This information is of interest in
view of the campaign to check the
issuance of these securities. In that
event the securities now outstanding
would increase in value.

bank, it is declared.
The board of directors of the
bank, of which w. B. Eaker, At
