THE TAx-REDUCING FAIRY TALE

Just how the people can be fooled
year after year by fairly tales of tax
reduction which will be secured by
creating new tax, is hard to under
stand.
Following are few illustrations
of new taxes" which did not reduce
any old taxes. We just pay the new
tax plus Increased general taxes.
Ten years ago Oregon passed the
first gasoline tax. Today every
State in the Union including Ore
gon has a greatly increased gas tax
which it is estimated will collect
$3.50, 100000 special taxes from
motor car owners in 1929. Already
a large part of this revenue is di-
verified to other than highway par
poses, but all other taxes climb
Taxes upon insurance com panies
originally intended to cover only
cost of insurance supervision, have
now been increased to point where
the money thus raised is used for
everything under the sun and only
four per cent of it goes to supervise

The American Bankers Associa

The American Bankers Associa-
ton at it's last meeting had some
straightforward truths declared to
it by Ralph Haynes, vice-president
of one of the largest banking and
trust companies in New York.
Thirty years ago." he told them,
"the advocate of peace was likely to
be a long haired fellow with
dreamy eyes. Today he is the hard
est headed man in town. 1t is truth
full to say, l think, "he went on
that business is opposing war and
that its opposition daily becomes
more pronounced" Mr. Haynes
added to this the explanation that
the interest in peace now displayed
by business men is partly due to the
fact that business has become more
intelligent; partly, also to economic
reasons. 'tLet us appeal to the
hearts and heads of business men,"
he wound up his address, 'Fbut let
us not fail to appeal to their pocket
books"

ACCLIMATED SEED CORN PRO
jet TO BE STARTED

In an effort to establish local
source of acclimated seed corn the
University of Maryland Extension
Service in cooperation with the
Tri-State Packers Association, will
conduct a corn seed saving project
in 1929 to be very similar to the
tomato seed saving campaign car
ried on by the Tri-State Packers
Association for the past four or five
years.
AS result of many requests, four
different strains of corn are to be
planted in Western Maryland in the
following amounts: five acres each
of Stowell's Evergreen, Narrow
Grain Evergreen and Shoepeg and
ten acres of Hopeland, hybrid Sc
lection developed by DR.. w. B. Kemp
at the University of Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station.
The paintings are to be made in
Western Maryland so as to avoid ear
worm injury, it is declared, and ap-
proximately one acre breeding plots
will be kept in addition to produce
stock seed for the following year.
These plots will be carefully rogued
to eliminate extremely late and early
maturing plants and those showing
evidence of disease and other un
desirable characteristics. Selections
will be made in the field as well i.s
in the drying shed. The advisable
ity of testing for starch content will
be taken into consideration also.
The Tri-State Packers Asso la.
ton has agreed to be the contracting
party, it is declared, and will own
the seed and be responsible for pay
ing the growers and selling the seed
Contracts will be made with the in
dividual growers to have the acre
age grown and seed dried. In Or
der to properly finance the under
taking, certain of the more interest
ed Gamers have agreed to under
write the cost of the project, for
which they will receive fifty per
cent of the seed saved.
Inc extension Service or the Uni
versity of Maryland will cooperate
in supervising the general field
growing and drying of the seed and
will assist in conducting the breed
ing plots for the stock seed. Stock
seed of the Hopeland strain will be
furnished by the University Expert
ment Station without cost, and as
sistance will be given as far as pos
sible in keeping all of the strains up
to a high standard.

COST OF SCHOOLS

"Can the States afford to educate
their children" The research di-
vision of the National Education
Association asks and answers this
question with new set Of statistics
showing the relation between ex-
penditures for public schools in the
various commonwealth and the
amounts paid for various Injuries.
The District of Columbia, for ex-
ample, spent $9,65S,614 for schools
and 68,14S,672 for automobiles in
1926. The corresponding figures
for Maryland were $26,577,101 and
$168,57S,295. There was about the
same relationship in Virginia with
$28,384,866 for schools and $780,
1885 for automobiles.
The National Capital in the same
year spent $16,279,458 for tobacco,
$14,O67,144 for soft drinks, ice
cream, chewing gum and candy,
$S,232,276 on theater and movie
tickets, $6,293,196 on jewelry, per-
fumes and cosmetics, $3,798,S34 on
sporting goods and toys. The total
expenditure for these purposes was
$48,67O, 908-more than five times
as much as the total expenditure for
schools.
Maryland did a little better, with
expenditures of $86,11O,068 for au-
tomobiles and Injuries, compared
with the $26,577,101 for schools.
The figures in Virginia were $74,-
878,320 against the i$28,384,S66
school expenditure.
'Our yearly income" says the re-
port of the research division, now
approached ninety billion dollars.
That this income is ninety billions,
rather thar fifty or. sixty billions. is
very largely due to human factors,
special capabilities possessed by the
Nation 3 citizenry, which are the
result of such agencies as good
schools These. qualities have no,
been developed IN day nor
decade.
Our annual investment in schools
is now about two and quarter bill
lion dollars. Due to the specia
aptitudes which the schools have as
sisted in. creating our income has
been increased by ten, twenty OF
more billions a year. If the schools
have had even small share in dis
covering and developing thes'
special aptitudes, the investmen
made in them. has been an exceed
ingly profitable one.
''This conception of the place O.
schools in our economic system sug
gests that we look upon expenditures
for education as payments to de
probation or insurance fund which
it is the sheerest folly to neglect
The special human aptitudes which
