NEW YORK. July Disagreement
this week to extend the life Of the Eu-
ropean zinc cartel and the calling Of q
meeting to discuss the steel cartel bring
to the fore again the efforts made by
producers and distributors of commodi-
ties in oversupply to keep up prices
Virtually without exception the various
price-flxing schemes, however disguised
under the form Of restriction or output
or limitation of exports, have failed To
accomplish their purposes, although one
or two, such as the sugar agreement,
have not yet been time tested.
General failure of price fixing
schemes has been due to the fact that
they violated nature and the good old
economic law of supply and demand
Authority was extended over the bung-
hole without quite covering the. spigot
Thus the British rubber export scheme
put into effect shortly after the war
the so-called Stevenson plan-failed be-
cause, while the British were able to
restrict exports from their controlled
plantations, the Dutch growers simply
made up the deficit by increasing their
output. At present rubber Is going II
alone. Dutch counter proposal for re-
striction having been given up last year
Incidentally, rubber is reviving, with

GOVERNMENT COST
SHOWS LARGE GAIN
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The annual cost Of government has
increased 800 per cent during the last
Is years, as compared with an increase
Of ~ per cent in population and q
gain OF 1875 per cent in national income.
The statistics are by the First National
Bank of Boston.
In commenting on its findings, the
Massachusetts, institution said: I'm
other words, taxation has increased at
a much faster rate than has the source
from which these payments must be
made. Not only Is there q severe strain
being placed upon current income, but
future income Is also being heavily
mortgaged. Total public debt, includ-
ing all political divisions. Is about $28,-
000, 000, 900, or $235 per capita, rs
against $50 in 1918.
Whereas in 1918 about IS cents
out OF every dollar of income were paid
out In taxes, in 1928 over lis cents
were expended for this purpose. While
figures are not available for 1880, the
proportion is still higher, as taxation
has very likely increased, while income
has shown q substantial decline during
this period. In the postwar depres-
sion, for instance, the proportion Of
taxes to income jumped from 100 per
cent In 1920 TO 1853 per cent In 1871"
