of the Chevrolet organization and
the tremendous resources and
production facilities of the Chew

the history of the industry will
so many new models of one make
have been placed in dealers hands
in such limited SPACE of time.

INDUSTRY WARNED
! OF HEAVIER TAXES
Yale Economist Sees Further
Increases in State and
Local LeVieS.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated FreSS.
NEW YORK, December 9.-Amer-
lean industry was told yesterday by
r. S. Adams, professor of political
economy at Yale University. that it
must look forward to heavier tax bur-
dens.
Delivering the annual Henry Robin
son Towne lecture before the Ameri-
can Society of Mechanical Engineers,
Prof. Adams, who also is president of
the American Economic Association,
pointed out that since 1921 State and
local taxes have increased more rapid
~ than Federal taxes have declined.
and said it was highly probable that
a similar or greater increase would
mark the future.
He urged industry to take a more
active part in taxation and ventured
the opinion that in the last five or six
years the corporations, through their
comparative inactivity, failed to obtain
tax reductions which were fiscally pos
sible and which would have benefited
not only themselves, but the country
as a whole.
The administration of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue he criticized as
standing indictment against our no-
litical intelligence and our capacity
for efficient administration"
He asserted that on June 30, 1927,
there were 1913 cases pending before
the Board of Tax Appeals, and it
would take the board four years to
clear its docket even though no new
cases should come before it.
He said this congestion was due to
the "legalistic idolatry" of the Amer
lean mind and the constant change n
personnel due to low wages. The rem
edy, he said, lay in a few simple
changes that the business man or the
engineer would recognize after even
superficial study.

BANKER FORESEES
PROSPERITY AHEAD
Charles E. Mitchell, New
York, Depicts Fine Business
Outlook in U. S.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 9.-Charles +.
Mitchell, president Of the National
City Bank of New York, foresees for
1928 a greater prosperity in America
than for the year now closing.
Even the traditional bugaboo of busi-
ness, presidential election year, holds
no terrors for him, he told the Indus
trial Club of Chicago. He pointed to
the better condition of agriculture and
brighter prospects for certain indus
tries that have been somewhat lag
gard.
"a contemplation Of our country,
with it's vast territory, unimpeded by
tariff barriers; it's intelligent, hard
working peoples. it's natural resources,
it's unequaled producing facilities, a
Government ever working in the in
terests of the people and comparison
of these conditions with those pre-
vailing elsewhere makes me an opti-
mist" he said.
He warned against waste and inef-
ficiency in industry and business and
insisted the Federal Government
should permit and encourage large
consultations to that end.
Conditions were improving in for
eign countries also, the banker de-
clared. in spite of troubles in China,
Russia and Mexico. He saw hope for
better situation in Mexico.
