TAXES BASED ON
"FLOW OF MONEY"
Continued From Page One)

there is no money left in hand,
there is nothing with which to pay.
Corporation income taxes are just
ly and properly based on net rev
enue received after paying all Civ
ing expenses" such as rents, main
tenance charges, labor, and other
carry on" expenditures. Personal
income taxes permit an arbitrarily
fixed exemption, thus recognizing
the justice of deducting living or
'carry on" expenses. Some people
spend more money for living ex-
penses than others. a man who
spends one thousand dollars in a
community helps business more
than the man who spends five hun
dred. The man who reasonably
spends large part of his income
helps prosperity and is a better
citizen than the man who stints
and boards up his money. This
difference should be recognized.
Personal income taxes should ex-
empt all living and carry on" ex-
penses-but not expenditures made
for investments or to produce po-
tential revenue; that is the same
justice for individuals that is now
given to corporations. Farm land
and other real estate Is taxed Oh
fixed valuations or assessments,
and these taxes are not dependent
on revenue or income. This meth
cd of levying taxes is a relic Of
ancient feudal time. 1t is not bas-
ed on the flow Of money and is,
therefore, unsound and uneconom-
ic; this can be seen by a study Of
the vast amount of agricultural
distress during the present depres-
sion. NO SYSTEM OF TAXA
TION SHOULD EVER TAKE
AWAY PROPERTY THAT IS A
PERSONS MEANS OF LIVELI-
HOOD. The business man pays no
taxes when he has no profits. Why
should the farmer or other real es- \
tate owner keep on paying taxes
when he has no profits or income
with which to pay? Such taxa
tion is really a capital levy. If
real estate produces income or
profit, it can and should pay tax
on the income or profit But a
home is different-it is a prime (
necessity Of life; it is needed to
carry on, and should be treated
like church or other sanctuary.
When the home produces no rev
enue, it should pay no taxes; but,
if sold at a profit, it should pay a
tax on the profit. Such taxation
follows the flow Of money. II Is
sound, just and humane Taxation
on the net income of individuals.
corporations, and producing real
estate should be held to a very
reasonable and fiat rate, the bal
ance Of necessary revenue being
raised by means Of a general sales
tax. Here again, we would have
taxation following the flow Of
money, and at the same time, the
rate Of taxation need be very small.
People who cannot afford to spend
would not be compelled to pay

WASHINGTON PARK
 ATHLETIC FIELD.
Scene of Some Lively Baseball Games By
 Amateur Teams
FROM ALL OVER CITY

When baseball was Tn It's Infancy in Waterbury, and the game was played for the glory there was ill 1t with no consideration for the size of the salary, it was a conn mon sight to see folks running
 here and there in mad rush to find out the result of contest between the Rose Hills and the Monitors. Tn those days there
 were no telephones, motor cars or
 radios to carry the news home ahead of the players and anxious, admirers of the sport had to wait and watch for some fleet footed youth who left the grounds the moment the game closed and headed for the district where the victors lived. to spread the glad tidings.
 In time this interest died out to some extent, and the average citf- zen waited to read all about 1t in the papers. It was revived when an athletic field was opened in Wash | ington Park and rival teams met there every other evening. At first ] the contests were confined to young men who live in the neighborhood. but finally crack players from diff ferent parts appeared and now one can witness lively game almost any evening by teams from all
 parts of the city.
 Of course the rivalry is friendly, all in. the game; but just the same some of the rooters. act as though they were losing their temper and didn't, care how soon nor with whom they got down to first prin- ciples. But that's all it amounts to. A man who has followed base
 ball for years says that excitement is a. part of the game and that anybody who cannot give and take lot of this business wants to make it point to stay away from athletic fields. A dozen or more local teams meet at Washington
 Park. Each has 8 captain and you know what this means when you look for. information. The captain accords his own boys first place with the result that when questions come up concerning the score as- they frequently do, hot discussion follows and one not familiar with how much noise base ball. fans can make and stop at that. is apt to believe that he is about to be witness to 8 fistic en- counter. .
 As rule the spectators in- clude a large number of women, all of whom understand the fine points of the game and are liberal in ap-' ,plause when one of their choice makes a home run, and quick to turn their heads in the other direc- tion in case their fayorite team is losing. & <
 'Bilr' Kelly Is referred to now and then as having much to do with the management. MT Kelly. Is we'll and favorably known in that district, but you would not think any too well of him if you were to take the word of captains whose players have been counted out on disputed points. But "BilF

and entering. He was ordered held for hearing Saturday morning under bonds of $l,O00. In the mean while the police will continue to search for his suspected compari- ion In crime. Abbentante has a pre-. vious record for attempted burg iary. $.
 The capture of the accused has been credited to Patrolman John Murphy and Supernumerary Po- liceman Joseph Garvey. The latter chased Abbentante and captured him in a vacant lot a short distance from the store. A pinch bar was later found near the door. The two youths had forced the lock and were about to enter the place when the police arrived.
 { An autoist passing the store shortly after 1 o'clock became sus-i picious of the parked car. Twice within the past year youths have been captured in the act of burg 1arizing. It has been successfully raided several times owing to the fact that the nearest residence Is some distance from the building in which the store is located.
 When the tip was received at the police station it was relayed to the Willow street section and picked up by Officers Murphy and Garvey. While one guarded the front door the other started for the rear and was in time to see two forms make dash for the nearby brush. Officer Garyey followed in pursuit and managed to outrun Abbentante and capture him.
 The prisoner was turned over to Sergeant Patrick Hillborg and John Shea, while the policemen respon- sible for the arrest returned to the store and joined with several other officers in searching the neighbor- hood for the chap, who made suc- cessful getaway.
 The authorities were checking up this morning on the ownership of the Ford car which was abandon ed.
 The case of George Welsh, 23. of Meriden road, charged with operat- ing without a license, was nolled. The youth was seen stepping into machine and taking his place be- hind the wheel, but there was no evidence that he actually drove the car
 A months postponement was granted in the case of George Pad- rozny, 31, of GA Vine street who was arrested several weeks ago on the complaint of his wife, who al- legged that he was deriving funds through immoral actions on her part.

August was designated as Street and Highway Month by Governor Wilbur L.. Cross, in a statement issued at the executive offices in the state capitol yesterday. The statement follows:
 Tn cooperation with other states of the union, the governor of Con- necticut .designates the month of August for the beginning of a closer scrutiny and more defi- mite insistence upon good traffic performances.
