good deal of the present waste will

State and city governments. In many
cases the executive branches of our
States and cities are completely dis

Germany Wins Trade
From British Strike

Germans are deriving what profit
they can from the British coal strike.
German miners have collected money
for the British strikers. but they are
working longer hours and for lower
wages than those of the British
miners. They are producing more
coal than at any former time since
the World War.
The surplus product is going to
markets along the North Sea, the
Baltic and to Italy. markets in which
the British once were supreme. So
great Is the demand that the Ger
mans are using all the rail and
water lines leading from the Ruhr
to the coast. The Germans feel
pretty we'll intrenched in their new
markets. and expect to hold most of
them after the British strike is over.
France needs 10000. 900 tons of coal
a year more than II produces. In
April Germany produced 7.760,000
tons. and in June, 9.210,000. In
June, 1918. the production was
$3.50, ,oAA tons-not much more than

mo wonder that Babson, noted
statistical expert, said in 1922 about
State and local taxation: Taxation as
1t is being carried on in every city in
every State Is devouring the best en-
ergies. the best enthusiasm, the best
achievements of the American busi-
ness man. In 1922 State and local
governments were taking 65 per cent
of the net profits of agricultural cor
porations, 45 per cent of the net
profits Of mining and quarrying and
% per cent Of the net profits of trans
portation utilities! The chains that
were being forged on initiative and
enterprise by such tax rates are

Our country is infested by too

Fortune replied. Because of this in
dependence among so many taxing
units there is no way to control their
waste. The only way this waste can
be controlled-the only way we can
get States and local governments to
cut down on expenditures and begin
paying up on their Indebtedness is to
bring some unity into our chaotic
State and local tax systems.
For instance, after the survey
of national taxation in America
