REFORM Of TAX
|. IN n. !. Asked

A special joint committee on tax.
alton and retrenchment has been
appointed by the Legislature Of
New York State.
Pointing ont that at the present
time $s.sss.oOO 900 worth Of real
property Is exempt from state and
local taxation in New York State.
the committee In a preliminary re-
port made since the close of the
Legislative session. recommends that
there be no further extension Of
real estate exemptions. Also Ii
asks that the State department Of
taxation and finance make q special
effort to require the assessors to re.
appraise and list fairly all tax ex.
empt property. and that the listing
of exempt property be made to
show separately the value of, land
and the value of improvements.
Approximately rs per cent OF all
real property in New York State
at present is tax exempt, according
to officials of the New York State
Association of Real Estate Boards.
The association is asking an
boards in Its membership to ap-
praise the property in their com
munities now tar exempt.
It is thought that such an an.
praisal when completed and sum.

THE PATRIOTS vow


l VOW to thee, my country-all earthly things
above
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my
love,
The love that asks no questions: the love that
stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the
best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays
the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacri-
flee.
And there's another country, I've heard of long
Most dear to them that love her, most great to
them that know
We may not count her armies: we may not see
her king
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is
suffering
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds
increase,
And her ways ways of gentleness and all
her paths peace.

that the Great Lakes to the project
will be completed within the next ten
years.
1t is estimated that this connection

every bushel of wheat shipped by
water to Liverpool. This dime will
mean a profit-a profit which is being
held up to the farmer as his by the
friends of the plan. Will he get it? 1t
is hoped he will.
The above is part of an excellent editorial
appearing in the Minneota Mascot in support
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway. 1t
is reproduced to invite attention to what appears
to be very common error in placing the bene-
fits the seaway will confer upon agriculture in
the Middlewest.
The Mascot says 1T is estimated that this
connection with the Atlantic will save ten cents
every bushel of wheat shipped by water to
Liverpool"
The Mascot is too conservative, by far, III
this statement. The seaway will not only save
ten cents Ton the average) on 'every bushel of
wheat shipped to Liverpool" but it will add ten
cents to the price of every bushel of wheat s Id
on the American market, regardless of whether
or not the wheat is shipped to Liverpool
This is some difference But the statement
is true because the price of wheat is fixed at
Liverpool, which is the worlds primary market
And the Liverpool price is the price received
by the American farmer, less the cost of trans
pOrtation. Reduce the cost of transportation
and this reduction is Immediately reflected in a
like increase in the price to the producer This
in turn, is true because there is not in this coun
try both an export market and home consump-
ton market. There is but one basic marke,
price, and this price applies whether the grain is
for home consumption or for export.
However, it should be remembered that this
is true only in the event that the transportation
offered is adequate to handle the entire crop. 1,
is true of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Sea-
way, for this route is the natural outlet of the
mid-continent, the whole of which is tributary
to the Great Lakes. By this is meant that ali
of the great agricultural states can ship to
some port on the Great Lakes and effect a prop
ortionate saving over any existing market route.
Moreover, what is true of wheat is equally
true of all other products of the Midwest, wheth-
er exported or not, for whatever reduction can be
made in transportation costs to the seaboard will
be reflected in higher price to the producer.
By the same token, this is likewise true of in
bound shipments of commodities and products
used in the Midwest, for in manufactured prod
ucts the cost of transportation is added and is

lation and criticisms of the government
entering the field OF private business
came from two quarters at the opening
business session here today of the an
nual convention of the National AS
ISOLATION of Insurance Agents.
Frank l.. Gardner of PoughkeepSie,
NJ Y, president of the association,
departing from Ills prepared address,
declared members of the association
should unite with forces opposing en-
'actment of the Swing johnson bill for
construction of Boulder canyon dam
which he characterized as "insidious
piece of legislation"
Herbert B. Flowers, of New Orleans,
declared residents of the Imperial val
ley in Arizona and Nevada were en-
titled to flood control legislation but
expressed the opinion that $15,O00,O00
would cover the cost of the project in
stead of $125,0O0,O00 proposed in the
Swing Johnson bill.
1--WE in this section of the country
know what it is to suffer from floods,
but adequate and proper flood control
for the Imperial valley, with its 65,-
600 people, can be provided with an
expenditure or not more than $15,-
O0O, 1000, by a properly constructed dam
at the Topock," Mr.. Flowers, who is
president of the New Orleans Public
service, declared.
