Cement Trust "Rusted."

New York, Dec. 29.-The cement
trust is the latest to be busted"
Federal Judge Knox signed the order
which provides for the dissolution of
the cement manufacturers associa-
ton. The court ordered that the prac-
tice of interchanging statistics be
discontinued This interchange is
known as the "open price" system, and
has been outlawed by federal courts
before. Under this system manufac-
turers record their prices in a central
office for the alleged information of
other business men. The practical re-
suit, however, is to have one price,
and to eliminate competitor. 1t is
stated that the cement association ex-
pended $1,000,000 a year to maintain
this system.

SOAKING THE RICH.

Representative Garner of Texas
ranking Democratic member of the
house ways and means committee
which is to handle the tax reduction
bill, has issued a statement in which
he denounces the administration tax
reduction as fraud. He asserts that
the rich men of the country will be
the chief beneficiaries Of the tax re-
duction, because of the bills provi.
sions for the reduction of surtaxes.
The records of the income tax bu.
reau show that the number of indi.
viduals who are today making returns
on incomes upward of $500, 00G is only
one-fifth of the number of such in.
comes reported six years ago. This
shows that whereas the Democratic
member charges Secretary Mellon
with a desire to relieve the rich"
the rich have found ways for reliev-
ing themselves of high taxes during
the last six years. At least all but
one-fifth Of the very rich have gotten
off the category of the income tax
division altogether by the simple ex-
pedient of investing their money in
tax exempt securities.
In regard to this matter, Secretary
Mellon made this statement in his
letter concerning his plan for tax
exemption
"These taxpayers are withdrawing
their capital from productive business
and investing it in tax-exempt securi-
ties, and adopting other lawful meth
DDS Of avoiding taxable income. The
result is to stop business transactions
that would normally go thru, and to
discourage men of wealth from TAX
ing risks incidental to the develop
ment of new business. Ways will
always be found to avoid taxes so
destructive in their nature, and the
only way to save the situation is to
put the taxes on a reasonable basis
that will permit bushes to go on
and industry to develop"
There is another angle to the ques-
ton of high taxes on large incomes,
and this is referred to in Secretary
MELONS report. He says that "the
demands of capital for higher re-
firms nv reaSon of the high gurta \
rates have raised the cost of all
manufactured products" The manu-.
facturer therefore simply passes or
to the public this additional cost, and
therefore the whole people help tc
pay the high surtaxes, and the rich
man who was the target of the mar
who framed the high surtax bill
either gets from under or charges i
off to the public, his customers.
1t is estimated that at present their
is $11 ,000,0 100000 invested in tax ex
empt securities in this country. 1t il
to draw back some of this grea
mass of wealth into the lines of legiti
mate business and industries tina
the plan of Secretary Mellon is de
vised. The charge of Rep. Garnel
and others who follow him will hav,
little effect with those who follow
things to a conclusion.
Nearly every one is with Presiden

COST OF LIVING ROSE
DURING THE PAST YEAR

Washington, Jan. 5.-Living costs
have gradually increased since last
March, according to the United States
bureau of labor statistics.
The cost of living was almost three
quarters more than the 1913 average
September costs showing a 72.1 per
cent increase over the pre-war aver
age. In September a year ago costs
were 66.3 per cent above the 1913
average, and at their lowest poine
since December, 1917, but December
last year showed an increase. There
was a slight decrease according to
March, 1928, ngures, but since that
time living costs have been rising
slightly.

Coolidge when he says he is Opposes
to war time taxes in times Of peace.
Bloomington Paragraph.
Just why the administration shoule
favor war time prohibition" in time
of peace and not favor war timt
taxes, now that the war is over, i!
not clear to the average wet" wht
believes that he should be allowed Il
decide whether he will live drunk Oh
sober.
The answer probably is that prohi.
bition with respect to alcohol as 9
beverage is not a product Of the wal
craze, but came as a result Of fifty
years agitation against the saloon
and, in fact, is the elimination Of 8
war in itself.
The policy Of the wet is to make
capital out of the fact that prohibi-
ton was wished onto the American
people while the soldiers were absent
in France. The truth is, however
that prohibition was an assured fact
before the majority of American sol
diers were old enough to go to war
More than two-thirds of the states
had prohibition laws before the first
note of war was sounded. The wal
merely FASTENED matters.
This is the prohibitionist's plan Of
reasoning, which so far has been &C.
ceptable to Congress.
Outside of socialistic propaganda
prior to the war there was no agita.
ton whatever urging Congress to en-
act an income tax law. Such legisla.
ton came as an expedient in paying
the war debt. The time is passing
when such tax is necessary, but
before the income tax is removed the
laws providing for amusement taxes
and other revenues affecting the work
ing man should be repealed. If there
is no just ground for continuing the
income tax there is surely no reason
for retaining the tax on amusements
such as the moving picture show, auto
races and baseball games.
