Tax Law Revision
Urged at Meeting

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-lR-Tax laws
must be revised to spread out the
burden Of taxation, Gov. Dan Turner
Of Iowa told the national association
Of commissioners and secretaries of
agriculture here Wednesday.
He favored adoption of income tax
laws by the various states, provisions
for selected sales taxes, and urged
that government be put on a business
basis and that all unnecessary ex-
penditures be eliminated.
"Our laws must be revised If ade-
quate reduction is obtained on the
farms, homes and other visible prop
erty," he said. 1T is imperative that
we find new sources of taxation
otherwise the constant mounting bur-
den of taxes will discourage people
from owning their own homes"

(By The Associated Press)

Chinas Manchurian army, fleeing
through binding blizzard, broke in
to two scattering sections Wednesday
and moved northward from Tsitsihar
in a retreat which appeared to have
turned into rout.
The retreat followed a smashing Of
fensive by the japanese army on the
Nonni river which captured Tsitsihar
and Anganchi and which was admit
tedly to sweep General Nah Chan
Snah's Chinese army from the area.
Tsitsihar Is 18 miles north of the
Chinese Eastern railway, a line under
the joint control of China and Soviet
Russia. Thus the japanese forces
have penetrated into Russia's sphere
and fear was expressed in some circles
that this advance might bring Soviet
Russia into the Manchurian dispute.
Military headquarters at Mukden
and the japanese war office at Tokyo
said the attack was provoked by Gen.
eral Nah and was ordered In self de-
fense. It would continue, it was an
nounced, until the Chinese army is
crushed and permanent peace estab-
liShed.
The League of Nations council met
in Paris at noon to consider privately
the results of Tuesdays individual
discussions The japanese and Chi
nese representatives were again abb

The attitude of the United States
at Paris was said to be a desire to

move to restore the status quo, at

81 Do Not Choose to Run,

Again Mr.. Coolidge has told the country that he
does not choose to run. Butjust four years ago
some whisper that there is mysterious hidden
meaning behind his plain words of denial
Why the mysteryP Mr.. Coolidge always is canny,
but never subtle. He means what he says. Why
shouldn't he?
Whether he was wise enough in 1928 to foresee the
national troubles ahead, may be open to argument,
but that he sees the Republican election troubles of
1882 is pretty clear Mr. Coolidge never was the kind
to 60 out of his way to meet trouble.
Moreover, there is very good reason why Presi-
dent rarely is denied denomination. To con-
denim Mr. Hoover or any other President by with
holding denomination would be for the party to con-
denim itself ard its administration and thus virtually
destroy any chance Of victory.
Such action not only is considered expedient by
politicians, but almost mpossibe-the President
usually holds through patronage enough delegates to
control or at least to split the party if challenged
AS the most political politician Of our time Mr.
Coolidge hardly would violate the unwritten law of
hs party.

ooh! We of Little Faith p

Bear in mind the date Of this-l886, forty-fve
years ago. From the first report Of the United
States commissioner Of labor:
The rapid development and adoption Of ma
chinery have brought what commonly 10 called over
production that machinery and overproduction are
two allied closely that it is quite difficult
to distinguish the without taking the other into
consideration.
In England, Belgium and France, railroads and
canals that really needed have been built; Ger
many is provided with full network of railroads and
In the United States railroad construction has been
out Of all proportion to the increase of products to
be carried
"IIarbora and rivers are developed sufficiently and
warehouses, water and gas works. tramways, etc. are
largely provided for the Pyrenees and the Alps are
tunneled, and the Suez canal has been built
Terrestrial and transoceanic lines of telegraph
have been laid and the merchant marine has been
transformed from wood to iron. The nations of the
world have overstocked themselves with machinery
and manufacturing plants far in excess of the wants
of production
"On all sides one the accomplished results
OF the labor of half century What is strictly nee
essary has been done oftentimes to superfuity.
This full supply of economic tools to meet the
wants Of nearly all branches of commerce and in
dustry is the most important factor in the present
industrial depression.
1t is true that discovery of processes of man
ufacture undoubtedly will continue and this will act
as an amelorating influence but it will not leave room
Tor marked extension, such as has been witnessed
during the last fifty years, afford employment to
the vast amount Of capital which has been created
during that period.
The day of large profits probably is past"
In 1886, then, we were fed up. We were through.
From the surfet there could be no recovery Every
thing had been thought Of "Technological unen-
ployment" was with for good Invention and dis
covery had reached their limit Industrial progress
was stymied. Maybe few things might be con-
Jured up, but not enough to count.
In that year, New York was a city of less than
two and one-haf millions, Chicago less than a mil
lion. The preceding census showed Cleveland at
100000 Detroit at 10000 and Los Angeles at Ii 900
1t would take a volume to describe the things that
have come into the life of America since then. The
list would range from the general use of the electric
light the telephone and modern plumbing on through
TO the rubber tire the automobile the hard-rfaced
highway to the airpane and the radio
What one can't foresee is hard to believe so TO-DAY
as then we have the feeling that the commissioner of
labor had back there-the feeling that we're stopped
And forty-1ve years from now some viewer of the
past will smile, as we smile now, at the shortsghted-
ness OF generation that was.
