Sales Tax or Beer Tax
The Country Must Choose

Congressman and others who making hulabaoo about
the sales tax would get farther with the public they would
offer WORKABLE substitute.
luxury tax is no substitute Who earth is buying
luxures these days?
bigger income tax substitute Business already is
staggering under all it carry there.
In addition to the heavy Federal income tax most bust
enterprises pay heavy State income tax.
In New York this tax has just been doubled.
There have been increases in other States.
More taxation-state Federa-on these lines will deal
knockout blow to industrial and commercial recovery.
It will increase unemployment
It will kill the goose that-f allowed to-wi presently
resume the laying of golden eggs.
the Federal budget to be balanced and the Federal
credit kept good the only substitute for the sales tax is tax
on light wines and beer
This alone would probably make sales tax
The gentlemen in Congress who object renuousy to
the sales tax have remedy in their own hands.
They legaze light wines and beer by modifying the
Voad Act and then put excise tax these beverages
But will they?
Not at this session, anyway
Hence the sales tax is the only way out.
It is also the only PAINLESS way out.
Canada has tried and tested four per cent sales tax for
and found hardship either producer consumer
Several States have tried it, the Philippines have tried it,
nearly all European countries have tried it.
- In every it works well.
70 say that the United States cannot easily endure the
modest burden 2 cent proposed by the Democratic and
Republican leaders in Congress is sheer absurdity.
The scattered minority attacking it knows that and
the country knows it,
Arguments unanswerable Those advanced
against recall shakespeares and fury g

Sales must be taxed or beer and wine must be taxed
There are NO OTHER alternatives.

as I do? How long can our
marriages last? We say we're
in love; but that isn't enough.
There must be more than love
to keep marriage going.
"CAN A WOMAN RESPECT
A MAN IN THE OLD Way
THE WAY HER MOTHER
DID-IF SHE IS SUPPORT
ING HIM?"
No, don't suppose she can,
Mary; BUT PERHAPS SHE
CAN RESPECT HIM IN A
BETTER WAY.
Was that old feeling which
wives had for husbands really
respect for the man himself
or was it respect for the mans
pocketbook and the com o r t
and security which that pocket
book provided?
Mind you, I'm not denying
that the old-fashioned wife
loved her husband. But that
other feeling-that idea that
"he could do almost anything"
was that based on love, or
was. it. based on THE WIFE'S
DEPENDENCE AND THE HUS-
BANDS ECONOMIC ADVAN-
TAGE?
I suspect that economics had
much to do with it, Mary. For
Dad wasn't really God. He
couldn't "do almost anything"
But he could do something
which Mother couldn't do. He
could hold a job, and that job
hung a glamour about Dad
which had little or nothing to
do with the man himself.
And now the glamour's gone.
Jim no longer has a job. Even
if he has, you may have a
better one yourself. And so you
can't feel that mingled awe
and gratitude which your
mother called respect" Well,
what of it? If you have lost
something you have also gained
something.

SWEET AFTER ALL; BUT
YOU HAVE GAINED AN IN
FTNITELY FINER AND
PROUDER RELATIONSHIP, If
YOU HAVE THE SENSE TO
SEE TT. YOU HAVE GAINED
EQUALITY.
You can no longer 'look up"
to Jim, but you can do some
thing better. You and Jim
can look TOGETHER - from
the same plane-toward the
same goal.
If you can't respect Jim as q
strong provider, you can re-
Spect him for a much more
real and lasting reason. YOU
CAN RESPECT HIM AS A
MAN. YOU CAN LOVE AND
UNDERSTAND HIM, NOT BE-

years. Mary, fortunately, has
a job with one of her fathers
old friends. She's carrying
them both, and things are
bound to pick up pretty soon.
But in the meantime
Something's wrong" writes
Mary. "It isn't that I mind
working, I really like it. And
don't mind supporting Jim,
either. He isn't deliberately
loafing; he'd give anything for
a job. And I'm good enough
sport to know that, in this
modern world, it's as much up
to the woman to carry the load
as it is up to the man. I
realize all that, and yet
EVEN THOUGH I TELL

the way mother felt about my
father, but I can't. Mother
and Dad used to squabble, but

always looked up to him. She
always felt Dad could do just

felt about Jim when we mar

But I don't feel that way

Don't make the mistake Of

They attribute good clothes

They are more courteous to

Unfortunately there are many
people who cannot get away
from outside appearance in

But often the person who

The former is more to be
admired, but according to your
standard Of judgment, if you
are in favor of the man who
pays his debts, you are not
giving him the sort of treat
ment he merits when you no
tice his clothes, to criticize.
Perhaps your judgment of
people is based too largely on

Then often you are deceived
as to true value.
But, since clothes do mean so
much to some, in the scheme
of things, it behooves a person
to dress as well as income
will permit.
The applicant for a position
should be particularly careful
to look tidy and clean but not

The Budget Must
Be Balanced

Be Balanced
The new tax bill pre-
sented in the House is one
Of the most burdensome IN
history. The reason is that
the nation faces the great
est deficit in the Treasury
in the life of the republic.
An abnormal deficit means
abnormal burdens. And an
unbalanced budget means
the loss of the nations
credit; and that means ruin.
The budget must be bal
anced.
The responsibility for the
deficit rests squarely on the
party that was in complete
power in every branch of
the Government when it
was created. That is not
the party that is now in
control Of the House. One
of the reasons the House IS
now Democratic is because
of the miserable muddllng
of those in power. And
now it falls to the Demo-
cratic House to find ways
to meet the deficit of the
Republican Administration.
If the new leaders in the
House lack the courage and
the capacity to face the neces-
stiles in the interest OF the
nation their party is not en-.
titled to the confidence OF
the people.

The President Applied
The Lash

The Lash
The American Committee
of the International Cham
Der of Commerce has issued
a report on world trade
touching upon reparations
and the tariff. The chair
man of the committee is
Silas A. Strawn, who is a
prominent Republican, who
has been close to the admin
istrations of both Coolidge
and Hoover. The major
part Of the committee are
Republicans. And the out
standing conclusion is that
high tariffs are wrecking
the world of trade.
That these prohibitive
tariff acts would wreck the
world Of trade and ruin busi-
ness, was predicted by Demo-
Gratis, and especially by Cor
dell Hull some years ago. A
bitter fight was made to pre-
vent the passage Of the eco
nomic monstrosity popularity
known as the Grundy tariff,
now on the statutes.
The Democrats fought it
on the ground that it would
do what this Republican COM
mittee of business men finds
that it has done. A thousand
leading economists sent an
open letter to President
Hoover showing that it would
mean the destruction Of our
foreign market. Many busp-
ness men, manufacturers and
financiers gave the same
open warning. The greater
portion of the press echoed
the warning.
But Grundy said his peo-
pie had raised a million dol
lars for Mr.. Hoover's cam.
paign fund and, having
bought something, as he i'm,
piled, he demanded the de-
livery of the goods. And the
President applied the lash
and used all the power of the
presidential office, and sue
ceeded in getting this trade
barrier raised by a bare Sen
ate majority of two votes.
When that monstrosity be
came law Mr.. Mellon an
nounced that it would brlrg
back prosperity. Julius Klein
economist of the Adminlstra-
tion, said it would. Admins
tration spokesmen said so.
And today they are standing
foursquare for it.
Is Mr.. Strawn and other
distinguished Republicans
on the committee ready to
make a demand on the Re-
publican National Conven-
tion to recede from It's
destructive stand upon the

tions turns its back, are

All Must Pay
the Bill

Gne Dill
We are hearing much in
the first debate about "soak-
ing the rich" and "soaking
the poor" but the fact is
that you cannot meet the de-
mands of the Administra-
tion's deficit without soak
ing both the rich and the
poor to some extent. 1t is
easy to sympathize with the
thought that the swollen for
tunes should pay all the def
cit, but no one yet has told
us how that can be ar
ranged. There is a point OF
diminishing returns - espe-
cially in these days-in taxes
on corporations and incomes.
The opposition thus far de-
veloped seems to concentrate
on the manufacturers sales
tax. This has the support Of
both the Ways and Means
Committee and of the Ad-
ministration. If that is
dropped, the revenue thus
lost must be made up through
the adoption of an alterna-
tive which is not so comforta-
BILE either. The alternative is
nuisance taxes, gasoline e
taxes, increase in postage
rates, a 5 per cent tax on
electric energy, on domestic
consumption, taxes on to-
bacco, radios and phono-
graphs.

It is possible that some other

the punishment infli cted

deficit Of the Administration
