SOAKING THE PUBLIC

Expresident Coolidge in his daily writings propounds
hard questions for the politicians to answer He re-
GENTLY pointed out the simple facts that when
laws for spending money the people have to
them Also, when congress creates deficit the peo-
lie pay, not the who pass the law.
The smaller the business and the smaller the income
harder the tax load hits it. The small and the
hall business, in paying rent and buying supplies,
arged with all the taxes that accumulate land and
lnufactured goods.
so, when single congress appropriateS $10200,-
1000 during session, did the last one the man
the street.-the taxpayer and voter-is the one who
ultimately dig up the money to pay the bill.
1t makes difference how we'll the politicians
age their taxraising schemes assessments against
wealthy as inheritance taxes intangible taxes, ex-
taxes special taxes what not the aborng men and
en- will feel the effect in higher prices higher rents
essed business; fewer jobs lower wages, or actual
# employment.
ak money does not grow trees. 1t comes out of
ckets of the people. You can't soak" a corporation
1T soaking" the consumer, and you can't SOAK
nsumer without soaking the corporation-in both
'ou soak" the buying power of the nation and tend
depression and stagnation.

ROLPH TO ASK
RESIGNATION OF
NARCOTIC CHIEF

SACRAMENTO, Cal. June 25.
(U.P)-The resignation of Harry S.
Seagar as chief of the state divi-
sion Of narcotics enforcement. is
to be requested by Governor Rolph
at an early date. it was learned
from reliable sources at the state
capitol today.
Edward Powers. federal parole
and probation officer for the north
ern California district, viii likely
succeed Seagar as chief Of the di-
vision. Powers, it is understood IS
recommended by federal judges and
narcotic enforcement officers.
No question has been raised as to
Seagar's integrity IN connection
with his removal, it was explained,
the desire being to restore harmo-
ny between the state narcotic en-
forcement officers and other en-
forcement agencies.
Seaear, who is a Los Angeles po-
lice captain, will probably return to
his old position in the Los Angeles
police department. He was ap-
pointed during the last year of
Governor c. c. Young's administra-
ton and succeeded former Senator
Frank Benson in the position.

answer today to the fate of the
monoplane Liberty, which was long
overdue on a projected flight from
Harbor Grace, N F., to Denmark.
All efforts to locate the plane
carrying Otto Hillig and Holger
Hoiriis back home from the United
States, land of their adoption, had
proved futile early today.
The civic guards in Ireland and
coast guards along English water
fronts maintained night-long
vigil. They waited in vain for word

Shortly before they were due here,
two Soviet planes took off to escort
them in.
The flyers tentatively set a. m

words on landing were: When dc

They wore civilian clothes and
looked fresh despite eight hours of

Railroad officials pointed out that

One Decisive Need
Under the roads proposal the
commission may grant the request
for the increase in one decision.
The roads later may make adjust

believed incapable of bearing the
increased freight rate assessment.
Hundreds of records, charts and
revenue figures were considered by
the railroad executives and traffic
authorities in a series of meetings

drawn. Conferences also We're held
