INCOME TAXING BLAMED
FOR ECONOMIC TROUBLES
Sixteenth Amendment Gives Con-
gress Toe Much Money to Spend,
Says Business Man.

BY the Associated Press
The sixteenth MISUNDERSTANDING
the income tax-was blamed last night
by L. D. Staplin, president Of the Car
bonite Metal Co., Ltd, Chicago, for
present economic difficulties In the
United States.
Trainers Of the Constitution, he said,
in speech for the American Taxpayers
League, intended Ito prevent Congress
from getting enough money SO that its
misuse would be harmful
In 1918 Congress secured ratiflca-
tion through the State Legislatures of
the sixteenth amendment, which for
the first time conferred upon 1t the
power to tax any citizen whatever and
whenever it sees fit" Staplin said
With this money both parties have
built up extraordinary political ma
chimes by creating an army Of pay roll
ers. State, county and city governments
have followed the example set by Wash
ington. with the result that the total
annual tax burden has increased from
$4,000, 100000 in 1918 to $l3,600, 600, 600
in 1882, and the weight has broken our
economic structure-it is the net actual
reason for our condition"

ST. LOUIS. March 29.-An "unnis-
taxable" drift Of population away from
the cities and toward the farms is dis
cerned by Wood Netherland. president
Of the Federal Land Bank Of st. Louis,
who expects it to aid in solving the
unemployment problem now acute in
many urban centers.
The hazards of city life. Netherland
believes, with uncertainty of livelihood,
are tending to reverse a trend away
from the land which has been one of
the salient characteristics of twentieth
century America.
Once the city held alluring promise
to the rural resident. Now the farm
appeals to destitute city folk as a place
of comparative security.
There is the added inducement,
Netherland pointed out, of existing low
prices for farm land, which have not

methods, modern conveniences, paved

Had the admirable efforts of philan-
thropic organizations In the past few
years been directed toward placing the
unemployed in supporting farm
homes" Netherland contended, "the
necessity for raising bigger community
chests from year to year might have
largely disappeared"
Now. he asserted. the logic Of the
plan is making itself felt almost with

Herbert said that the low wave

to listen to the crooner do his

made a practice of robbing stores
and then fleeing while hearing
his description and alleged mis-

It's against the law in Illinois
