The Tax Decision.

The decision of the Democratic MEM
bers of the House Ways end Means
Committee not to impose retroactive
Z taxes in the measure which they are
about to draft will be pleasing to the
individual taxpayer and to business
generally Possibly not to increase the
tax leVieS on incomes and business con-
Quoted in 1881, upon which taxes are
paid in 1882, may be temporizing with
the situation and merely postponing
the evil day But whether such be the
case or not most of the taxpayers will
sigh with relief, believing that the tax
rates on income and business in the
last year will not be boosted. The ad-
ministration, in its program for tax
revision to meet the growing govern
mental deficit, had recommended that
! the tax increases BE- made retroactive.
| There is pressing need for increased
! governmental revenue. The Treasury
! deficit is growing and necessarily so
! because the expenses of government
keep right on while revenues fall off.
Just how far into the future the Gov
ernment can project the day of reckon
ing remains to be seen. In some quar-
| terS the opinion is held that the time
| to act is now, and that it is foolish
/ weak and shortsighted to postpone
the increase of tax leVieS. On the
other hand, the argument is advanced
| that business is struggling to get on
its feet and that to increase the Fed
eral tax burden on the people and on
business, rs applied to incomes and
| business of last year, would be severe
blow. No one wishes to retard the re-
turn Of business. But for the last five
or six months it has been evident that
increased Federal tax levies would be
needed to meet the deficit in part at
least; that such increases were surely
coming. 1t is idle to contend that
American business and the American
people did not have some forewarning
! of what was coming and that they had
that warning during the last year.
The American Government today has
huge fixed charges growing out OF the
bonded indebtedness of the country and
out of the necessity OF providing for
war veterans and their dependents.
There is no way Of curtailing these
| fixed charges. Other expenses Of the
Government may be cut, perhaps many
millions Of dollars. But such cuts are,
after all, a drop in the bucket when it
comes to meeting 81, 900 600 900 deficit.
The country will have to face the need
Of increased taxes.
The Democrats Of the House Ways
and Means Committee are not unmind-
full of the situation and the necessity
Of meeting it. But they have ranged
themselves on the side OF those who
believe that with little more breathing
space business will revive, and with the
revival of business will come q new flow
of revenue into the Federal Treasury.
| Their decision not to make the tax in
creaSes retroactive may stick, especially
If the tax bill passes the House, as it
is expected to do, with the retroactive
provision stricken out.

Hoover Willing to Take

Sunday that Mr.. Hoover stated
he would waive his constitutional
right against salary cut and &C
cept whatever reduction was sug-
gested.
Chairman McDuffie Of the house
economy committee said he point
ed out to the president the uncon-
stitutionality of such action by
congress and had suggested as an
alternative that what ever sum Mr..
Hoover thought best be returned.
A president receives $4,000 a
year and this sum cannot be re-
duced while he is in office. Those
at the conference said Mr.. Hoover
asserted any objection to such an
action ordinarily would come from
him and that he would interpose no
objection to a cut of $74,999.

Dual Tires On Trucks
Wreck Frost Boil Troughs
Highway Department Finds New
Difficulty in Keeping Bad
Spots Passable

A difference in weather conditions
at this time as compared with a
year ago is responsible for much
more difficulty in keeping highways
in good condition for motor travel,
highway department bulletin
points out. Frost boils are more
numerous and in many instances
are much more troublesome than in
any former years. Every effort is
being made by the Highway depart
ment to keep the bad spots passable
but a new element of trouble has
shown up, the bulletin states, in
the dual tires on trucks.
In places where the frost boils
were large enough to break up the
entire surface of the roadway it
has been the practice to lay down
metal troughs, curved up at the
sides to prevent the wheels from
going off into the mud. These
troughs, purchased some years ago,
are joined together by cross-braces
to hold them in line and were in
tended for use by single tired We
hicles, but the dual tires extend
over the edge Of the trough and
have been picking them up and
bending them, as well as the cross
braces into useless tangles of metal.
It is being found necessary, the
bulletin announces, to restrict We
hicles with dual tires from driving
over the metal troughs although
trucks with dual tires are not as
hard on ordinary graveled roads
that are. softened by the weather
as are single tires and can often
get through bad spots without the
use of the troughs where other We
hicles could not.
