The Sales Tax in Practice
Mississippi Likes It.

Gov Mike s. Connor of Mississippi recently told how his
State pulling itself of virtual bankruptcy by
economy and rational taxation.
He said:
"At the April session of the Legislature a straight
cut of onethird of the cost of government de-
creed and sales tax of per cent leUied all
purchases
"We calculated when adopted the sales tax
that could reduce property faxes so per cent by
its yield. 1t has been in operation tOO months. Its
yield is running Way ahead of estimates.
"I haOe letters from than half the governors
of the United States asking about sales tax.
At the Chicago contention everybody asking
me about it, really believe the National Govern
nrent is going to come to that instead of all these
nuisance taxes.
"It also uUould be good tax for States haUing to
handle unemployment relief in big Ony because it
IOOuld that everybody Ooud contribute accord
ing to the he spending and nobody uUOuld
feel it n1uch." '.,'.''' E.
Governor Connors last sentence explodes claim
those think that sales is tax the poor instead
Of on the rich
It is a tax the SPENDER.
The less you spend the less tax you pay
The you spend, the tax you pay.
And, the Governor says You don't notice it much
anybody offer farer better system of taxation
the country would like to hear of it.

The Vanishing Income Tax
Down $8OO,OOO,OOO Last Year

If anyone still doubts that the Federal income tax will have
to be modified or abolished figures published by the In
terna Revenue should be conclusive evidence that 1t
WILL.
In fiscal year ending June &c. the United States Gov
collected $87049911 LESS than in the preceding
year.
Of this sum accounted for by the drop in
the collection Of income tax.
It is plain pkestaf that the income tax is drying
up the of that the only to restore
the tax to do away with

No income income tax
Raising the rates will not help.
On the contrary that will destroy what incomes are left

This simple that child it. But was not so
simple that the last Congress could see it.
The Congress only refused legaize beer which
the scientific painless manufacturers sales tax which would
have balanced the budget without the slightest hardship to
business
Instead Congress raised the income tax and imposed annoy
ing nuisance taxes This program will not balance the budget
and will be fatal to business if persisted in.
The income yields tremendous the Government
when everybody is prosperous the Government does not
need them.
1T yields smaller and smaller the Government when
nobody prosperous and the Government does need them

FurlOugh Wisdom

These regulations by the Commissioners will permit the
preservation of the principle that every worker should have
period of vacation during which he rest and rcuperae
In contrast the wisdom which the District Commissioners

For the executive authority split the furough into few

Flores is a volcanic island,

sulphur wells abound through

Climb any hill and in the

sure to see a sulphur spring

all around it the earth is

the springs are filled with

is impossible to stand near
them because of the intense

Anywhere near a sulphur

In Trade Circles We
Have No Friends

The truth is that in trade
circles we have no friends
anywhere. We have lost the
best customers we ever had
by an act so stupid that it
is incredible. Switzerland
always bought far more
from us than we ever
bought from Switzerland;
but in swinish mood our
"leaders" of the Admins
tration variety resented the
fact that our people were
able to buy anything from
Switzerland at all. And so
we put up the bars as much
as possible against the Swiss
with the idiotic notion
that the Swiss would con-
tinue to buy as much as
ever from us.
Well, the Swiss are now
buying everything they for
merly bought from us from
other countries when pos
sible. And who can blame
them?

ONCE OVERS
Joy Out of Living

Because you are selfish you
get very little enjoyment out Of
life.
You always want to get a
little more than your share OF
everything.
Unsuccessful, you are un-
happy. and envy the one who
has procured what you hoped
to obtain, even though you
were not entitled to it.
AS a child you grabbed the
biggest piece of cake.
AS an adult, you seek more
than your share of family in
come.
You are unwilling to do with
out things you want in favor
of what others of your family
may need.
If you are pleasant and
good natured it is because you
are allowed to have your own
way. for you are mighty dis
agreeable if another insists on
his or her rights.
You grumble at the expendi-
lures Of some member of the
family and make outlays for
yourself fer in excess of those
about whom you complain.
You don't do your share of
the home work. because you
are selfish.
In fact. it pleases you to
make others work while you
enjoy leisure.

young cub, not yet dry behind

Yet on three out of five times

Taxicab Stands
Fire Plug Space Might Serve

District authorities making survey upon the results of

In considering the proper location for these stands it is
be hoped that the authorities will study the suggestion
recently made that curb adjacent to fire hydrants be
placed at the disposal of the cabs
Other cities have experimental with this of
modang public vehicles and have found that it works
well.
Utilization of this fire plug space would be convenience
not only to taxicab operators but to patrons also
In addition it would curta cruising of cabs and to that
extent improve the traffic situation.

can investments in British
territory are huge, and they
are huger because of the
Grundy Chinese wall. Our
great industries, knowing
that retaliation would be
certain, have been building
branch factories beyond our
Chinese wall so they can con-
tinue to sell their products
to British subjects. United
States Steel and the Alumi-
mum Company have such
" huge investments " in
Canada.
And if we make a fetish of
this prohibitive tariff, and
maintain it, most of the
building of factories by
American money will be in
other countries. This is
harmful for us and beneficial
to them. For while Ameri-
can capital will build the fac
tories, these factories will be
manned with foreign workers
who will spend their wages
with foreign merchants.
1t is we'll known that the
motive of Spain in putting a
prohibitive tariff on Ameri
can motor cars is to force
the automobile manufac-
turers here to build branch
factories in Spain and give
employment to the unem-
ployed of Spain.

South America
Planning Reprisals

And these devotees of the
Grundy philosophy try to in
timidate the British with the
foolish threat that we may
enter into preferential
agreements with South Amer
lean countries and exclude
British products from that
continent.
The stupidity of this lies
in the fact that South Amer
lea has been even more
vociferous in protest against
our Chinese trade wall than
the British Empire. Nowhere
has the resentment of this
wall been more bitter than
in Latin America. Even now
the statesmen of South
America are planning the
same kind of reprisals
against us as are possible in
Ottawa.
And these "leaders' of
ours in the Administration
are locking the door of the
stable after the horse is
stolen-as usual with them.

"HERE Is ample Justltlca-

felt in Washington over the
proceedings of the imperial
economic conference at Ot-
tawa. The purpose of that
conference is to work out a
plan of tariff preferentials
that will operate to the ad-
vantage of the empire and,
incidentally, at least, work
to the grave disadvantage of
the United States.
The conference was called
because of the trade war
launched by this country at
the behest of Joe Grundy,
the lobbyist, and his associ-
ates who raised a million
dollars for the election of
Mr.. Hoover four years ago.
The challenge we then
made has been accepted all
along the line, and the ma
tions we have so eXtrava-
gantly excluded from our
markets have been retallat-
ing with tariff barriers that
exclude us from the markets
of the other nations.
The attitude of Canada,
which so long had been one
of our best customers, has
been revealed in higher tar
ifs against us which have
greatly reduced our sales in
the dominion. She is now
proposing a plan in the con-
ference which would cost us
billions in loss, and practl-

anticipating some such move,
has built an enormous plant
