TAXES COST MORE THAN FOOD

Last year, according to the United States
News, the American people paid $1035 ,000,-
900 for medical services, $2,16O, 100000 for
fuel and light, So, 6OO,O 100000 each for cloth
ing and home rental, $7,650,0O0,000 for the
most basic necessity of all, food-and &c.
600, 100000 for taxes!
The increase in taxation-local, state and
nationals the most startling and menacing
economic development since the world war.
It was not so long ago that we used to pity
overtaxed European countries, in the belief
that we were escaping their experience. To-
day, with the cost of all forms Of govern
ment soaring in the face of diminishing tax
able assets and earnings, we are very close
to the European level. Recently England,
one of the heaviest taxed countries, enjoyed
general tax reduction made in the interest
of industrial recovery. The United States,
unhappily, has no such prospect.
A great part of the tax money does
nothing to encourage industry some Of it is
actually used for projects and experiments
which discourage and throttle private initia-
tive, retarding employment, rather than in
creasing it. It is bar, not a spur, to pur-
chasing power. It stands in the way of in
vestment, industrial expansion, farm and
home ownership. 1t is creating a vast,
wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy which
wakes fat while the public which supports it
starves.

HIGHER FARM INCOME

In spite of droughts, floods, frosts and
market losses farm income in the United
States will approximate $3.50, 100000 this
year, or 1913 percent more than last year, 81
percent greater than the 1882 income aand 20
percent above the 1881 income.
These are encouraging figures and can
be accounted for. Domestic markets have
been paying higher prices for foodstuffs this
year due to tariffs, price fixing, crop con-
troll, and the fact that nature finally took a
hand in the matter of reducing farm sur
pluses.
For the sake of the farm folk and in
spite of the fact that it costs him money the
city man is grateful for these farm bless
ings. The consumer who has job knows
that some farmers new profits will come
back to him and the consumer who is out of
job realizes that as long as there is poverty
on the farm there will be unemployment in
the city. .~ a

The fact that the local cannery has not
and probably will not show profit on this
years operations is nothing to get excited
about. That the concern could come as near
to breaking even, from a financial stand
point, is quite an accomplishment The big
thing which has been accomplished is that
there is cannery here. In addition, the pro-
ducts from the local plant have now been in
troduced into the market which usually takes
years to gain foothold. The concern is all
set for prosperous season for next year.
That the plant is almost entirely locally own
ed is another factor in it's favor. There can
be no doubt on the part of anyone, now, but
that the district is thoroly behind the enter
prise. ALI seem agreed that the canery is
the one institution which can save the dis
trict by providing market outlet for our
products. The plant must, at all hazards,
be kept operating, Wholehearted support can
do it.

Federal Income Tax Has
Been in Force Since 1913


The federal income tax has been
In force since 1913. the year that
the Sixteenth Amendment to the
Constitution, authorizing the income
tax, was ratified. In January, 1894,
an income tax bill had been passed
by congress, but 1t was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
court in May, 1895. The demand
for q graduated income tax, accord
Ing to q newspaper writer, came
especially from the farmers Of the
West and South, whose argument
was expressed in the platform Of
one Of the third parties: IA grad
uated income tax is the most eQui-
table system Of taxation, placing
the burden of government upon
those who can best afford to pay.
instead Of laying it upon the farm
ers and producers and exempting
millionaire bondholders and corpor-
atoms" During the Civil war and
down to- 1872 there was Q federal
income tax, levied as war tax.
The minimum tax rate which was
imposed under the various tax laws
has been / per cent in 1913; 2 per
cent in 1916; per cent in 1917;
6 per cent in 1918; 4 per cent from
1919 to 1923; 2 per cent in 1924;
liz per cent in 1928; 4 per cent in
1892.

Under the new election laws registration
is a requirement for school and city elections
as well as the regular state affairs. Signing
of the poll books before voting, so that the
signatures may be compared with those on
the registration cards is now a part of the
routine. The new system is somewhat bum
glesome, insofar as small city is concerned,
but will no doubt prove it's worth in the larg-
er centers where illegal voting is the rule
rather than the exception. So if you care to
vote on questions which might pop up in the
future, be sure that your name is properly
listed on the registration books.

German Court Clarifies
the Meaning of Railroad

Probably we all think we know
what q railroad Is. but 1t Is inter-
esting to find an elaborate scientific
definition laid down with typical
German thoroughness by German
court. And It's all In one sentence
which the United Press reports
from Berlin in a decision of a high
federal court:
"A railroad Is an undertaking de-
voted to the repeated moving along
of people or goods over not entire
ly unessential distances, and upon
q metallic base which by its con-,
sistency, construction and smooth
ness is meant to make possible the
transportation of heavier weights, or
to achieve comparatively great
speed Of motion, and which through
this particular qualification In con-
nection with the natural forces
used for the generation of the mo-
tive power namely. electricity, an
imal or human muscular activity. or.
on slight down grade, even by the
momentum of the vehicle itself or
its cargo) is In a position accord
ing to circumstances, useful to q
limited degree, or destructive of hui
man life or dangerous to human
healthy to exercise comparatively
important function by the operation
of the enterprise"
The Standard dictionary defini-
ton of a railroad Is shorter and
more simple: "a graded road, hav-
ing one or more tracks, usually of
metal rails, supported by sleepers,
and designed for the passage Of roll
ing stock. Literary Digest.

We were almost certain that the city's
extra two mill levy would carry There is no
doubt about the popularity of the library and
the park. They are two things which the
people of this district want and are willing
to pay little to keep. That attitude has
been shown this spring and summer by the
splendid way in which contributions for the
upkeep of the library have been received as
the result of the suggestion made by this
paper earlier in the year. Next year the city
will again finance the library as a result of
the sanction given by the voters Tuesday to
the extra two mill special levy. III
