Tax Reduction De-
pends On Management

| Objectives of taxpayers assocla-
tions, as revealed by survey OF
taxpayers associations of the United
States by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board, may be distinguished
as (a) the prevention of current ex-
travangances in appropriations OF
public funds or instances of faulty
financing, and (b) general improve
ment of the system of taxation.
Miller McClintock, Director of
Municipal Research of Harvard Uni
versity, whose work takes him over
the country, and who has large ac-
Iquaintance with city halls, makes
some interesting statements on the
workings of government in the Cam
bridge, MASSACHUSETTS, Tribune of
April %. Mr. McClintock claims that
the types of government depends
more upon the kind of men who are
administering it than upon the super
ficial changes in the form itself. He
points out that no government is as
bad as its opponents try to make out,
and none so good as it's proponents
claim. The public gets the kind Of
government that it has the interest
and intelligence to demand.
Mr.. McClintock likened govern
ment to business and said that indus
try is no longer made up of only
Capital and Labor. A new group has
come into industry known as the
Management group which performs
duties for both Capital and Labor.
These duties have become more and
more of profession. Had it not been
so industry would never have reached
its present stage.
Stockholders (owners) rarely ex-
ercise any discretion at all he declar
ed, and asks, "Does that not teach us
something of government as well'?
government after all, isn't
9 matter of politics, he continued, but
a matter of complicated business.
Business is having a substantial eff

Farm Phones Time
And Money Savers

Out of 100000 Pennsylvania farms,
124,O0O, or SO per cent, have tele.
phones.
The diversified farmers time is
worth something every day in the
year; and the telephone is the cheap
est, best time-saver ever invented,
for much of the business of the farm
The telephone is hired man who
eats nothing, who will not forget his
orders, who will not flirt or elope
with the hired girl, who will not sci
fire to the farm with his careless
pipe or cigarette, who will not strike
for higher wages just when the need
is greatest. A farm phone is al
most as necessary as land or house
or barn.

An automobile stops when the engine

Railroad men, doing their best to
stock holders, as they are bound to
do have concentrated on getting in
creased passenger fares and freight
rates from the public authorities, and
that has seemed good business. The
time is not far off when good busi-
ness will consist in finding way to
carry passengers and freight for
LESS and thus making more money.
The danger to the railroads is a
small ridiculous looking thing on -four
wheels running along the highway
paralleling the highway on fright OF
way" that costs the motor omnibus
and motor truck nothing but the price
of their license. Every day four mo-
tor buses leave Los Angles carrying
passengers to Chicago. That doesn't
amount to much. But they can carry
twice as many passengers as there are
on this magnificent Santa Fe Chief
Express. And the bus overhead is
one man driving and another man tc
relieve him. -
i Omnibus travel is uncomfortable
with the express train, But WHAT
ABOUT THE FLYING MACHINE
that will soon be here?
And what about the freight hauling
by omnibus? On the Mojave Deser
farmers buying agricultural machin
cry from Los Angles do not ask tht
railroad to carry it.
The farmer calls up the truck line
at Victorville. Thee freight motor
truck delivers the moving machine
plow or "seed drill" right in the farm
er's barnyard. The freight bus cost
little more per hundred than the
freight train. But what you ordel
