Reliable statistics show that

empt public securities-national
state, district---the difference in
the earning power of the aver
age tax-fiee security and that of
taxed Industrial property is
about as 8 to 5; industrials must
make the larger percentage in
order to compete with the tax
free holdings. This forces an
unnatural scale of prices f1r
everything that is made by in
dustry, and prices are now and
will remain high until all invest
ments are brought to parity, by
taxing all incomes from invest
ments alike.
Why should there be any tax
