The Drive Is On


Two events on Friday show the determi-
nation of the people of this state to protect
themselves from bankruptcy that is threat
ened through unfair taxation, both official
and protected.
The first is the decision of the commits
sion named to write program for special
session of the legislature that promises to re-
eve the farmer and the home owner from
the unequal burden they now carry.
The other is the courageous declaration
of Lawrence +. Orr, head of the state board
of accounts, that utility rates must be low
cred before any real relief can be secured.
The committee recommends an income
tax. Such measure was killed in the last leg
islature by the most powerful lobby which
ever gathered at the state capitol.
An income tax would take the money
from those who have it and lift the menace
of sheriff sales from owners of real estate.
1t is admitted that only a small percent
age of the wealth of the state pays the taxes.
New forms of wealth escape and real estate
pays the bills.
1t is true that before there will be really
fair distribution of taxes the income tax
must also include tax on corporations,
which have suppanted the individual. But
the income tax is the proper start
The frank declaration of Lawrence Orr
that the utility bills are in reality tax Will
accelerate the drive that is being made all
over the state for relief from unjust burdens
established during days of initiation.
In the periods of prosperity the utilities
established for themselves the principle that
they had the right to collect not on invest
ments, but on the cost of reproducing their
plants. They capitalized the war and its
imitation.
The Times suggested months ago that
legal principle of valuation that worked IN
periods of initiation should work in periods OF
deflation. Orr repeats this with emphasis.
Utility service is an essential part of mod
ern life. The water rates are direct tax in
this city. No building is useful, either for
habtation or for commerce or industry with
out it. To permit the local company to con-
tinue its extortions is unthinkable. The same
is true to degree of electricity.
The best way to avoid the disaster that
is threatened by present conditions is to re-
adjust the tax burdens and give the people
breal-or at least, half break. Today they
are slaves to injustice.

VIII Cuthbertson ACT?

Mayor Sullivan, acting for the people, has de-
manded that the public service commission investigate
the methods of the local electric monopoly and its
foreign holding company.
He demands to know which of two sets of figures
are correct-the reports made to the public service
commission as to income or the statements given to
the public in order to sell securities.
He demands to know why the management of one
company costs twice as much as the management OF
two companies before the merger.
He demands to know the reason for the long term
contract with the insult interests for power at much
higher figure than the of production with the in
ference that this was part of deal between two
promoting interests for division of the loot in In
dianapolis
He demands to know why coal is purchased from
subsidiary of the holding company which owns the
stock of the local electric company
brief inquiry by Commissioner Cuthbertson into
the two sets of figures should be basis for an lmme-
date order for reduction If the company is losing
greatly in revenues he might be justified in refusing
TO take action But if that be true, he should know
why the company showed in pamphlet issued while
such an appeal made, that its revenues for the
twelve months ending Sept so of last year showed
very small decline over the revenues for the same
period year before.
The law has name for such statements if they
can not be reconciled
Commissioner Cuthbertson has plenty of time to
give to an effort to prove that one candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket is utility minded
He may hope to distract attention from his own long
service as legislator to utility interests and his
ent reward as a member of the public service COM
mission.
Apparently he has no time to act on the appeal of
indianapolis for relief
Political activities will not be accepted as an ex-
for his failure to give attention to this important
natter.
The people want relief-and want it now.

The most wonderful a chest of solid silver.
After the couple had returned from their honeymoon
it began to be whispered about that the bride was
indulgng in the rankest extravaganza. She using
her good silver every day.
Then in eighteen months the bridegroom sickened
and speedily died That beautiful part of the girls
life had passed forever Do you think during the long
years she regretted that each night for herself
and her lover she had spread her table with the best

take the good times might have, all to hoard some
more cash.

living that we have no time to live.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Sales
IN tax or luxury tax, income tax

ask the American people for an
extra billion dollars in cash.
No private business could survive
on such policy. For that matter
no private business could survive on
the policy pursued at Washington

Had the Hoover administration
begun to curtail expenses right after
the stock market crash, it would not
be facing such an enormous deficit.
Had preceding administrations re-

wealth and speculation, even in

ample reserve with which to meet
this emergency.

Editor Times-I am sending you
a comment on the present situation,
as one who sees it from the side
lines.
Why doesn't congress, since it
started it, and the President cor
rect the mistake made when they
passed and approved the tariff re-
vision bill? You would think they
believe it crime to back down, so
they let the people suffer.
The country was going to the dogs
when they passed it and by now
they can see it is getting no bet
ter. Maybe it would be a good thing
to have an investigation about why
the tariff bill was passed.
Everybody knows it did the peo-
pie no good as it was supposed to.
Then the question: Who did it
benefit? comes up.
Take the situation with Japan.
Have we the force we should need
in that case? If not, why not? Be-
cause of lack of money. Takes mon
ey to build airplanes, navies and
uphold an army.
There did not seem to be a short
age of money when it came to keep
ing up the army of prohibition
shoppers and stool pigeons to uphold
the prohibition law that the Anti
Saloon League forced on the coun-
try. That is another reason we are
all broke today, including some Of
the biggest cities.
This country is being run by pol
iticans, for politicians. When po-
litical parties get stronger than the
government, it is time to shift back
to the Constitution. We have ten
Commandments. You can not add
to or detract and live. F. r. Y.

DR.. Pearl has shown that from
the age of so to the end of life, the
death rate assignable to break
down of the circulatory system is
higher than that associated with
any other system of the body.
1t has been pointed out pre-
viouSly that the heart begins beat
ing long before the human being
is born and works constantly to
the moment of death.
1t is not surprising, therefore,
that the breakdown of the circula-
tory system should be today the
leading cause of death after mid

Economy Talk

MEANWHILE let us not forget
1V1 that the public debt has been
reduced by some eight billion dol
lars since 1919.
That represents a surplus credit
that the government might use,
and which it should be using.
Instead, the government proposes
the identical policy for which it has
been criticising banks-call for cash
and refuse credit.
Furthermore, it proposes to avoid
such economies as the vast majority
of people have been obliged to
make.
There has been much fine talk
about saving money here and there,
but for the most part, it has result
ed in little, except the discharge
of a few poorly paid employees at
the foot of the line.

Questions and
Answers
who was Jean Ia Elite?

Who was Jean La Fitte?
He was noted pirate operating
in the Gulf of Mexico. He was
born in France and held a commits
sion as a privateer from the French
government, but degenerated into
a pirate with Barataria bay, as his
rendezvous. Upon the outbreak of
the War of 1912 the British made
overtures to La Fitte who refused to
join them. Later, he joined with the
American forces under General
Jackson in the defense Of New Or
leans, and he and his crew acquit-
ted themselves so well that PreSi-
dent Madison issued a free pardon
for all their misdeeds. La Fitte is
supposed to have died in Yucatan
in 1926.
How many persons in the United
States are gainfully employed?
According to the 1880 census the
number was approximately forty
eight million.
What Is the Lim-fjord?
An arm Of the sea extending

from the rosy, painless and happy solution of tax
troubles as advertised.
The Canadian sales tax, we learn, is a baby
How popular it is may be gathered from the fact that
the Canadian Manufacturers Association, the trade
and labor congress- all the major farmer organizations
many Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce
have denounced it.
These say that it discourages trade; is cumber-
and intricate; acts unfairly between certain
commodities; loads the tax burden those least able
to bear it; encourages prof1teerng and pyramiding
While the Canadian liberals we're in power the
sales tax was under heavy bombardment from the
conservatives well from the progressives. It
was, in fact, reduced to l per cent in 1880.
When the conservatives came to power in 1881
Prime Minister Bennett raised the rate to per cent
He explained he did this not because he liked the tax
but because he feared to disocate business at the
time of depression by changing the tax system-a
feeling not shared by the bipartisan writer's of the
American revenue bill, which changes the American
system. Bennett, in fact calls the sales tax "unde-
pendable."
At per cent, and with many exemptions
than in the house committee bill, the Canadian tax
raises $65000000 this year Even this is a burden of
$50 OH every Canadian family. Based upon Canadas
experience, it is estimated that this $50 can become
in fact $55-in pyramided increases in commodity
costs.
Under the circumstances understand the
comment of a Montreal tax expert that sales tax
victims gladly would exchange it bndfolded for al
most any other kind of tax"

Why Not BondS2

IF one billion dollars in taxes each
4 year for two years is sufficient to
balance the budget, why couldn't
the same result be accomplished
by bond issue for two billion, but
in order to be fair, let's call it
three.
With the public debt reduced by
eight billion since 1919, is there any
sound reason why such a bond issue
should not be made?
Is there any sound reason why
credit shouldn't be employed to the
limit at time like this?
Do our public officials realize how
hard it has become for many people
to pay taxes, or how taxes are
forcing thousands of them, if not
hundreds of thousands, to the wall?
