TAX EXEMPT OFFERIN
INCREASE.

The output of tax-free securities
during first half of 1924 exceeds all
previous records, being nearly
$3.50, 1000, 000-three times the out
put for the entire year of 1918.
The urgent demand of wealth for
an avenue of escape from taxation
has created a ready market for
these securities, encouraging taxing
authorities to plunge communities
recklessly into debt. "The Bond
Buyer of June %, reviewing the
situation says:
Gust about one hundred import
ant offerings of State, municipal
and Federal Land Bank bonds which
have been ogered in the New York
market since January LIST aggregate
slightly more than $500, 100000, OF
an average of $4,000, 900 per issue
"Total of all State and municipal
financing for six months ending
June 30th is estimated at not less
than $600,000,O00. If to this We
add sos, 100000 Federal Land BanE
and numerous Joint Stock Lane
Bank issues, the aggregate of tax
exempt securities fotations for the
six months will come very close t.
three quarters of a billion"
With the income from this vast
wealth escaping taxation, the loac
on taxable property is just that
much heavier.

Holding Up Your End.

Holding Up Your End.
Years ago when taxes were "prac-
tically nothing" in comparison with
what they are today, people never
theless made big cry against thigh
taxes" Municipal, county and school
district expenses were always con-
sidered too high by many, and there
was constant demand for retrench-
ment. Today we would consider
that the people of the former gen.
Grafton were left off pretty easy de-
spite all their clamor. 1t seems to
be human nature to begrudge any
contribution towards benefits in
which our neighbors share equally
with us.-Belle PLANE Herald.

There are only twelve states out
of the forty-eight that do not have
legislature providing for tax on
gasoline of from one to four cents.
Minnesota is one of the twelve but
it is believed that this situation
will be remedied at the coming cleo
ton.
Place Minnesota First.
Don't get the idea that Minnesota
is going crazy over auto taxes and
good roads. They tell US that a
Ford pays just twice as high a tax
in Wisconsin as in Minnesota, and
that Wisconsin is building 500 miles
of paved roads this year where Min
nesota is paving only fifty miles
Window Reporter.
Why should Minnesota permit
Wisconsin to get ahead of her in
road improvement? There is no
rational reason for such a state of
things. Minnesota must brace up
and get ahead of Wisconsin-not
inly in road paving but in other en-
terprises as well.-Mankato Free

Restraining the Road Hog.
The authorities of the county
have made move in the direction of
restraining the activities of that per-
nicious animal the Road Hog. The
authorities have painted white line
four inches wide down the middle
of the pavement of the Luverne
road. This indicates that each auto
mobile driver must keep to tn, right
of the center while driving. This
should restrain Mr.. Road Hog, but
it is not improbable that one of the
pestiferous tribe will straddle that
line or get on the wrong side of it..
But, nevertheless, the lines will help
some. Thanks, Mr.. Road Engineer.

States can produce at least $4,000,
900 tons per year. They produce
far more than half of worlds steel
and of products made of steel.
Among other things. they produce
about 80 per cent of worlds motor
cars, both in their own country and
in branch establishments abroad.
In the city of New York alone
vastly more building takes place
than in the whole of the United
Kingdom. The textile industries of
the Republic consume considerably
more cotton than the whole of this
country. In the production of goods
made from copper, brass, rubber,
wood, leather, ETC., Americas super
iority is overwhelming. In view of
these facts CObden's prophecy,
England is, and always will remain,
the workshop of the world" is rid
iculous.
Why are the Americans foremost
| in the world, not only in the output
of food and raw products but also
in that of manufactured goods?
The reason is obvious to all who are
| acquainted with economic conditions
| on both sides of the Atlantic.
England, the former stronghold
of individualism and efficiency, has
become a stronghold of Socialism
| Owing to Socialist influence ca
canny has become universal. The
suicidal policy of restricting output
has led to hostility to labour-saving
machinery. The result is that the
average American produces as much
as three English workers.
Goods produced must be con-
sumed. They are consumed and
enjoyed chiefly by the working mas
ses. Production being three times
| as great in the United States as
! over HSES, lCSOifS INV Ah>AS
! ly three times as much money but
| receive three times as much real
wages in the form of goods which
they can buy. Hence the American
workers are infinitely better fed
clothed and housed than the British
| workers.
The American worker recognizes
that prosperity consists in an abund
ance of useful goods and nothing
else, and that such abundance can
not be created by insisting on high
wages in respect of an utterly in
sufficient output. He recognize:
that capital and labour-savine
machines are his friends, not hi:
enemies. Hence the American work
er can afford motor-car and othel
things which in this paradise Of
trade unionism, of Socialism, and o.
ca canny are privileges of the ricl
and well-to-do.

WHY AMERICA IS so WEALTHY

From he London Daily Mail, June
%, 1924-Agitators demanding vast
public expenditure on their pet pro-
jects frequently tell us that Eng
land is rolling in wealth, that it
is ''the richest country in the
world. That was, perhaps, true
decades ago, but matters are very
different now. England is poor,
very poor, if compared with the
United States.
The United States are fabutously
wealthy. Although they possess
only about one-twentieth of the
population of the world. they have
half the worlds wealth and have
more than half the worlds gold
diamonds, pearls, and precious
stones of every kind.
The true wealth of a nation can
best be measured by the condition
of the masses. The prosperity OF
the American workers is almost un-
believable. More or less unskilled
men, such as carriers, milkmen,
builders labourers, ETC., earn 45s,
per day. Vast numbers of skilled
workers earn $1,000 and more per
year.
The assertion that Americas
wealth belongs to the few, that the
high cost of living counterbalances
the high wages prevailing, is incor-
rect. The white population of the
Republic is little more than twice
as large as that of this country
However, the United States have not
merely twice the humble of tele-
phones and motor cars that there
are in the country but have fifteen
times as many. To every three
families there are two telephones
and two motor cars. Millions OF
unskilled workers have not only
roomy houses which belong to then
but have a telephone, motor-car
and other luxuries of which Englisf
working men scarcely dream.
Before the war England's saving:
came to about i400,000,000 pei
year. Although the American people
are terribly extravagant, their saw
ings are estimated to come t.
92,700,00O,OO0 per year. Last yea
the Americans spent on motor-car!
and trucks alone e750,OO0, 1000. Il
we add the expenditure on garages
etc., the motor-ear expenditure las
year exceeded s1,000,000,0O0.
1t is frequently stated that thu
United States owe their vast wealth
to the possession of their great
natural resources, to the possession
Of a fruitful agricultural plain, ex
tensive forests, rich mines, etc
That explanation is fallacious. Every
student of American economics i:
aware that the bulk of America:
vast income is furnished, not by the
farms, mines and forests, but by the
factories and workshops.
The United States are foremost ir
the world, not only by the product
