Higher State Taxes in Sight;
Sales Levies Being Planned
FOrty-four Legislatures to Meet This Winter and Most
of Them Will Seek New Revenues to Replenish De-
pleted Treasures, Adding Levies on Cities

size of it's structure, or to carry out
retrenchment, merger and elimination
within governmental departments
The services of government today are
more expensive than they have ever
been before, and are falling hardest
upon the average man.
Many Duplicate Services
The federal government has today
ten departments and It's independent
commissions, boards and bureaus
many Of which overlap, or perform
functions which might easily be
merged, or placed into one of the de-
partments, without material injury to
the public service.
These things are serving to in
crease taxes, and to create the neces-
sity for still higher taxes.
The average citizen has little
knowledge as to how or where the
government structure should be trim
med. He listens often to 'lip-service"
to economy and retrenchment, but he
seldom sees any of it carried into
effect.
1t is generally recognized in Wash
ington that high taxes are playing a
larger part among the issues in the
national election this year than any
other single factor, and they are ex-
pected to play just as large a part
in state elections.
Less Costly Government
In the old times when government
was simple, all the ruler had to do
when he wanted more money was to
raise taxes. So long as the more or
less loyal taxpayers didn't object, this
plan was successful.
But today a different theory is in
operation. Instead of taking all that
the people have to pay, there is an
energetic demand that governments
be run for less cost, and that taxes
come down in corresponding fashion

BY B. C. CLARKE

Practically every legislature, Of
which there will be "A in session, will
be faced this winter with the neces-
sity of levying higher state taxes
The states are confronted with def
cits and depleted revenues, just as is
the federal government.
This means that the tax load will
increase in 1888 as compared with
1882, and that larger part of pri-
vate income, earnings and wages,
must go to meet the costs of govern
ment.
Decreases that can be looked for
through economies, and through mer-
gers and elimination of governmental
functions, appear now to be very
small.
Revenues Of the federal govern
ment under the new tax law are esti-
mated in several informed quarters
to point to a prospective deficit of
about $500,000 as compared with the
sum which the measure was expected
to produce. This means that addi-
tional taxes must also be laid by the
federal government.
Plan Sales Taxes
Some of the states are already
making up schedules of prospective
sales taxes on merchandise and COM
modities which will be presented to
their legislatures for passage at the
sessions this winter. Congress is ex-
pected to turn likewise to sales taxes,
with the result that a tremendous
load of additional costs will be put
upon articles and commodities which
the people consume, with higher
range of prices.
1t can scarcely be expected that
these additional taxes will be loaded
merely upon luxuries The need for
revenue is too great, and it's bulk toe
large, to be carried by the volume OF
luxuries which the country may be
expected to consume in the course of
the year.
In consequence, there is the pros
pect of still higher gasoline taxes
and larger taxes on great many
things that can be classed as neces-
sites of life.
Taxes now are taking SLIT out OF
every five-dollar bill that is spent, and
to that extent absorbing the wages
salaries and income of the people, and
increasing the cost of living.
Cities Must Pay
Higher taxes will be drawn largely
from industries where people are en-
ployed, and from the people of towns
and cities, for the reason that farms
and agricultural regions are unable
to pay the present load of taxes, and
the revenue raising possibilities from
them have been completely exhausted
Increases in taxes upon farms
would merely increase the number OF
forfeitures and foreclosures for un-
paid taxes. At the same time, higher
taxes upon industries will have an eff
feet upon employment and upon the
standards of wages and salaries that
can be paid.
Relatively little has been done by
the federal government to reduce the

AUTOS STILL CLIMB

Sales of automobiles continue to
show rising trend in newest trade
reports. May sales of passenger ve-
hicles rose to 131, 900 vehicles, accord
ing to a report by R. L. Polk & Co.
This marks a gain of 1900 units
over the preceding month and rate
of increase of per cent.

Federal Unemployment Insurance
Fails to Win Senate Support

Senator Morrison, who is said to be
not adverse to drink of good liquor
In spite of his dry pronouncements,
sought to ignore the challenger for
his toga The Morrison campaign set
up undertook to dismiss Reynolds and
his demand for calling a halt to the
farce of national prohibition by call
ing the Asheville candidate a clever
clown.
Clown" is Peoples Choice
But North Carolina politics as
sumed national prominence when the
democrats marched to the polls on
June and cast $4,000 more votes for
the Asheville Clown" who right out
in meeting said that prohibition
should be repealed, than they gave to
the former governor. Morrison, who
thought he was sitting pretty in the
senate for the rest of his natural life,
received the surprise and shock of
his long political career when the re-
suits of that primary began to drift
into the voting centers of the state
AS soon as he had recovered in part
from his amazement, the senator who
is on record as defending the thieving
power trusts as benevolent institu-
tions," declared he wanted a second
primary. He felt certain there had
been some mistake.
Second primaries are not customary
in North Carolina. In a great ma
jority of cases, the runner-up is good
sport enough to concede the nomina-
ton to the high man. A dozen years
ago Senator Morrison, who sought to
be governor of North Carolina,
criticized his closest opponent in the
primary for putting the state to the
unnecessary expense of holding Sec
ond primary. But d dozen years
suffced to change Senator Morrison's
viewpoint on the matter.

washington, ID. T.. (ILNS)-United
States government compulsory un-
employment insurance is disapprov-
ed but other protective measures are
approved by the select committee of
the ser ate which has just formulated a
report after months of inquiry.
Senators Hebert, Rhode Island, and
Glenn, Illinois, sign the entire report.
Senator Wagner, New York, agrees
with most of it, including disapproval
of compulsory federal unemployment
insurance.
The report recommends establish
ment of voluntary unemployment re-
serve funds by industries in conjunc-
tion with their employees, or state leg
islation compelling creation of such
/ reserve funds by industries.
Must Be "Some Program
Ultimately at least, the states
should formulate some program" the
report declares, holding there is little
| likelihood of universal adoption of
voluntary reserve systems. 1t is urg-
ed that state laws be sufficiently GEN
eral and elastic to prevent various
systems SO as to find the best by va
ried experience.
Federal insurance is held imprac-
tical and the position of the American
Federation of Labor is cited at length
as opposed to compulsory federal un-
employment insurance.
1t is proposed that the federal gov
ernment contribute to the extent of
deducting some portion, if not all, of
the contributions of employers to re-
serve systems from their income tax
returns.
Senator Wagner, in a supplemental
statement expressing agreement with
most of the report, recommends that
| instead of deducting sums set aside
| for unemployment reserves from in
come as a basis for federal tax, sc
per cent of such sums should be de-
Quoted from the tax itself, a material
difference in tax exemption. He would
have also "a federal integrated sys-
tenn of state operated employment
! offices.
| Covers Wide Field
The report discusses at length
those schools of thought which hold:
THAT unemployment is a So
cial phenomenon, not due to in
dustrial causes, and therefore an
obligation upon the federal gov
ernment, instead of upon the
states or industry
2-That unemployment is due
to industrial causes and that in
dustry itself should have oppor-
tunity to evolve remedy.
The report deals at length also
with the new Wisconsin law and with
the recommendations of governors OF
New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania and Connecti-
cut, urging compulsory establishment
of statewide reserve systems.
Much consideration is given tc
trade union systems of unemploymen nj
local and local union plans are re-
ported more successful than national
plans. 1t is pointed out that "insur-
ance" is not a proper term, inasmuch
as no sound actuarial basis can be
established in relation to unemploy-
ment, at least until there has been
| further experience.
