At last Jupe, the kind kangaroo, le.!

lobster on top of the wall.
The drawbridge came down and
Jupe and the Twins passed over, and
went in through a high gate made of
sea shells.
Suddenly eight fat Goldfish with
forks for guns, topped up on their
fins and demanded the password
again.
Eight rice puddings!" said Jupe.

the sergeant of the squad
Instantly Nancy said, apple dump

And Nick said, Peanut brittle!"
1t was really too embarrassing! But
the harder they tried to say "Rice
pudding" the more their tongues be-
came twisted.
THAT won't do" said the sergeant.
IF you don't say the password in
two minutes we shall have to dump
you in the moat. And the moat isn't
water either. 1t is made of cod liver
oil. And no one likes cod liver oil

Here Jupe whispered into the SER

Editorial Comment
One-f0urth For Taxes
Chicago Journal Ct Commerce

Chicago Journal Of Ccmmerce)
If you want to realize how great is the burden
of taxation upon the nations business, send to the
National Industrial Conference Board, at New
York, fer a copy of it's report, Cost of Govern
ment in the United States covering conditions in
1923, the latest year to be thoroughly analysed BY
the board.
Every time the average corporation in 1923 earned
dollar, it paid than quarter of that in
taxes. The entire net income of the nations cor
porations was 5000 100000. OF this sum, the
corporations paid taxes amounting to $2572 ,O00,-
OO0--or 277 per cent Special assessments and
improvement levies are not included in the tax fig
ures.
/ The amount paid in taxes 6l.7 per cent of
the amount paid to stockholders in cash dividends.
The latter sum - $4,l69,00 900 - meant an aver
age cash dividend Of 5.68 cents on each dollar the
stakeholder had invested. Every time the stock.
holder received nickel, his corporation paid more
than three cents in taxes.
The total sums paid in federal, state, and local
taxation by various businesses amounted as fol-
lows: manufacturing corporations, 224 per cent
Of net income; trade corporations, 24.7 per cent;
constructions enterprises, 25.2 per cent; financial
corporations 1922 per cent; transportation COM
panes and public utilities, SO per cent? public
ice corporations Comprising hotels, amusement
poratons, 44.2 per cent; and mining and quarrying
companies 1913 per cent.
When it is realized that corporations taxes
amount to more than quarter of net income, it is
easy to perceive why the tax bill is the most inter-
esting piece of legislation during the present
sion of congress, and why the negotiations between
the respective conferees Of the and the house
are so important to business.
But federal taxation is only item in the tota:
Of more than two and half billion dollars of taxa
ton paid by corporations in single year. State
and local taxation must be given increasingly seri
Gus attention The problem is complicated by the
fact that the states and the cities have been con-
structng enormous number of permanent i'm
provements These add to taxes, but at the same
time they often add to the wealth of the state or
the city. Accordingly it is impossible to make a
sweeping condemnation of all tax increases.
| But the immense total of taxation should be
realized by the business element in every commune
ity, in order that each improvement project may be
considered in relation to the tax problem.
