.FORD'S OPINION
HIGH TAX HURTS
POOR, NOT RICH

An administration or set of leSiS-
lators advocating high taxes should
be run out of office, in the opinion
OF Henry Ford. He also contends
Cat high taxes on the rich put bur-
dCns on the poor. High SurtaNcs, he
says. will curtail industrial activity.
His views are expressed in an inter-
view obtained ,by Samuel Crowther
and will be published in an early is
sue of Golfers Weekly. The inter-
view, given out yesterday in advance
of publicat ton, was in part as follows:
What effect do YOU think the
raising OF the surtaXes will have on
prices" asked Mr.. Fard.
WELL" he answered. 1T is very
hard for n man who earns Il great
deal of money to talk about taxes,
for 1t always seems rs though he
were asking to he allowed to keep
his money. but it is high time that
we got to thinking straight on taxes.
There should be nothing political
about taxes. The bread we eat is not
partisan. and neither should be the
taxes we pay. People seem to he
fcolng themselves about taxes. We
have had period of nystcria in gov
eminent will tell you more about
care how much government costs.
provided the money is raised from
the other fellow.
at is time we put 4 stop to this
and started to think Of taxes in terms
Of the cost of living. Every cent the
Government spends, just as every
cent we as citizens spend. has to
come from somewhere. Any admins
tration or any set of legislators that
advocate high taxes ought to be run
out of office. because what they are
really advocating is the high cost of
living.
I'VE have to pay some taxes. but
the greater part of what we pay
ought to go for productive purposes
for good roads for schools. for better
health and all those things which
make life easier. Eut we ought to
pay as VIC go and not attempt to
have things we cannot afford to have.
We could afford to have a great deal
more than we now have and pay out
less money. That we can do vast
ing less than we nov waste. But
there is nothing more dangerous to
the prosperity of the country than
putting heavy taxes on those who
seem to have more money than they
need.
Now, let me make myself perfect
~ clear. From purely selfish stand
point, it does not make the least diff
ference to me whether the Govern
ment taxes me ] per rent or 80 per
cent. | do not know exactly, but I
imagine | could live Just as I now
live on l per cent of my income. ! do
rot care in the least for money as
money. / am speaking of myself only
as an illustration. for ] dislike in
tcnsely to talk about myself or my
own affairs. / am in business not to

days includes registration by dele
gates, addresses by competent speak
ers Friday and Saturday, discussions.

trip to the Bangor Daily News plant

The report by the L. S. Depart
ment of Commerce showing that in
the decade from 1912 to 1922 the
wealth of the State of Maine more
than doubled, is most encouraging
and Maine people have reason to
feel that the State is making pro-
gress. rumors to the contrary not
withstanding. The Department OF
Commerce. in a dispatch from Wash
ington announces. for the state of
Maine, it's preliminary estimate of
the value, December 81. 1922, of the
principal forms of wealth. the total
amounting to $2.006,53 900 as COM
pared with S1,002,9 900 in 1912. an
increase of 1901 per cent. Per CAPT
ia values increased from $1,332 to
$2,5S6. or 94.1 per cent. All classes
of property increased in value from
1912 to 1922. The estimated value of
taxed real property and improve
ments increased from S44G,631 900 to
1882 221 900. or 1857 per cent: eX-
empt real property exclusive of La
fayette National Park) from $50 22S,-
600 to SS7. 900 or 1896 per cent;
live stock from $32.745, 900 to So
$4,000, or OF per cent: farm imple-
ments and machinery from S15,62S.-
600 to $2O,S30,000. or 1913 per cent:
manufacturing machinery. tools. and
implements from $69,941 900 to s14S.-
362100 or 112.1 per cent: and rail
roads and their equipment from
$97,342.000 to $119.353,00O or o2.6 per
cent. Privately owned transportation
and transmission enterprises, other
than railroads. increased in value
from $77,912.000 to $96,371. geo or 23.7
per cent: and stocks of goods, We
hicleS other than motor. furniture
and clothing from seq, 533 900 to
1888. 63S,000 or 1881 per cent. No
comparison is possible for the value
of motor vehicles. which was csti-
mated in 1922 at S35. 044 900 because
no separate estimate was made in
1912. In making these estimates the
department followed in general the
methods employed in making the es-
Inmates for 1912. though it is believed
that in some respects the work in
1922 has been made more thorough.
1t should be borne in mind that the
increases in money value are to n
large extent due to the rise in prices
which has taken place in recent
years, and so far as that is the case
they do not represent corresponding

what it considers evidence of a con-

depreciate the franc, in q circular

that France has right to complain

That this will succeed those who

A PITIABLE CASE

We hadn't supposed there was
any lack of charitable organizations
in Boston, or that they are suffering
from scarcity of funds. In the
Monday morning news, however,
there is report of the death Of a
little seven-year old girl due to lack
Of food and medical attendance.
The report states that the father
is in Jail for driving car while in
toxicated leaving his wife and four
children without support. Two of
the children were so small the
mother could not get regular en-.
ployment but did the best she could.
The report tells us "a small weekly
allowance was granted her by chart
table organizations in the city but
it proved insufficient for the
family needs" etc.
Is not that enough to warrant the
conviction that the state which
places the bread winner in conflne-
ment is in duty bound to see that
the deprived family is supported?
