U. s. BEARS BURDEN OF WORLD
Business. Not Taxes, Doing Work, as
the Rate is Lowest Here.

Chicago. Jan. a Every man, woman
and child in the United States carries
au annual tax burden of 500. u, but the
rate is the lowest of any great nation,
according to President Jesse Grant
Cbapline Of La Sale Extension Univer-
sity, in an address here at all economic
conference.
Taxes in the United States are I1.5
per cent of the total national income"
said President Chapline. IN England
hey are % 2 per cent. in France 20 9
per cent, and in Italy 1872 per cent. In
.lluing both State and local taxes, the
total in the United States will exceed
81, 500, 600, 900.
Heaviest item is interest on the war
debt. Although the war debt is being
reduced an average of a billion dollars
a year, about $40, 600, coo. 900 remains
an average of $3.50 for every person in
the United States. More than 43 per
cent of the United States taxes GO for
war debt, Veterans Bureau and pen
sions. Interest on the public debt in
1924 was $940. 602, 900, whereas the en-
tire Federal expenses for 1916 were only
$741. 1896, 600.
Foreign cations owe the United
States $12, 600, 600, 600 on this account,
but prospects of payment are remote.

Motor Trucks Zig Help
20 Rail Reads

New York. Dec. &C. With rapid in
crease the motor vehIcle-b bus and truck
is serving city and country in trans
porting passengers, helping the former
in his distribution problems and is fast
becoming recognized as the easy convey
ance for men and merchandise from
place to place.
Most as important as is the use of bus
es on main highways is that in rural com
munities which by their use are given ed
Vocational advantages of the best city
schools. During the last year buses car
ried more than 500, 600 children to con
solidated schools, while trucks carried a
bout 95 per cent. of the milk supply to
the great cities such as New York, Gin
cInnatti, Minneapolis and st. Paul. In
dianapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Kansas
City and Atlanta.
THE MOTOR AGE.
Since the beginning of the motor age
in 1912 savings deposits have increased
in this cOuLtry more than II billion
dollars, or from So, 425, 725. 600 in
1912 to $40, 844, SOB last year. This
significance of the productive value of
bus and truck transport to the nation is
also shown by similar gains in life incur
ance and home building.
Since the sweep of the bus and truck
has become so wide the big railroads have
been forced to take action to prevent the
destruction of their traffic. This they
are making every effort to overcome by
the adoption of buses and trucks as feed
ers to their main lines and for nse in
short hauls between eXpresS stops.
GASOLINE MOTOR COACHES.
In 1920 only four railroads in the Uni
ted States were using gasoline motor
coaches. Today lit roads have gas rail
buses, while So railroads are operating
freight trucks.
Prime movers in replacing freight
trains with motor trucks were the New
York Central and the Pennsylvania.
Both are getting excellent results. Ibid.

30 that few minor changes could
be made in the estimate,
The police commissioners recon-
mended that Il new police head

department has outgrown the pres
ent building. However, they ex-
pressed themselves as feeling that
1t was imp 'obable that such build
ing would b erected at the present

The principal item in the list Of
extras for the department Is the de-
Hand for 20 additional policemen to
cost the city $4,000. It was pointed
