NEWSPAPERS OPINION
LIQUOR BY TAXATION

| When considering the tax program, just IN pro-
portion as the government gets desperate, its rep
resentatives seem to lose their judgment in looking
around for. new ways to raise revenue. There
! is one form of raising money; however, to which
we feel unalterably opposed. ..a..... s.-
This method, to which we refer is that of taxing
transactions or,traffics that under the ban IN
morals of great deal of the population. We refer
to such tax the liquor tax, if such tax is placed
on it. because it is considered bad for the coin
munity.4r
Virtually, under such conditions, the govern
ment which is society, says to the rafflcker, we
society, are willing that you shall do this business
we are opposed to, providing, in the partnership
you give usta lot more money for it than we insist
on having from other lines of trade"
This is wrong policy; it is wrong as prln-
ciple When the tax was placed on whisky during
Lincoln's administration, revenue measure M.
Lincoln called attention to the fact that 1t tended
to entrench the liquor business in the political lie
of the nation because it made government depen-
dent upon income from liquor
He was right. 1t was one of the most tremen-
dous forces for the protection OF the traffic II IL
is had for society to permit these things, it is in
fnitely worse for society to go into partnership
on it and exploit the people who are buying liquor
so that society should pay its own bills from such
exploitation. -... 'r.
We feel the same toward the gambling business
If it is going to be permitted certainly let us not
depend upon it to pay the expenses of government
We would say the same thing in regard to the
sale of tobacco. ., .,t'. 81. ,.~
We should treat these things as we treat all other
lines of trade; tax them we tax all other things
If we believe they are evil, should treat them as
evils Evils should be forbidden and not permitted
at price, and they can be forbidden lot easier
when they are not entrenched behind price
We hope our legislators will keep clear-minded
upon the nature and purpose of the tax and not
proceed along lines that will make it more difficult
to deal with the various problems, on their merits
as problems than to have them entrenched as reVe-
for society, above that of the ordl-
nary business-Santa Ana (Calf) Register.

DECEPTIVE START

The higher income and inheritances taxes which
President Roosevelt proposes to Congress 1t rush
through before its near adjournment are only
beginning For these increases are estimated TO
bring in only millions of additional money to a
government over-spending itself in billions.
1t is not the feature of raising only few drops
for the bucket, however, which makes the hurry
I'D bill so deceptive. What is tricky about it is the
fact that income tax rates for smaller corporations
which means the great majority of those in the
United States, are proposed to be lowered some
what. A natural result of this would be for the
many men active in smaller businesses to look at
the immediate face of this hasty bill without con-
sidering the future.
What the future is bound to be- past experience
in other countries has shown even more than in
our own. .."~ H
You can't get money. enough from only the small
number of rich men or the comparatively few big
corporations to run a national government. Far
ticuarly national government which is heavy
spender and considerably in debt
When the load of spending and of paying for
past spendngs is finally balanced by taxation, the
great group of people with medium incomes and
the smaller corporations will have to carry large
part of it. And, of course, part of the burden is
passed on IN the form or taxes, some OF Cnehl hi-
den by being included with the prices people pay,
to that other great group of people who have a
small yearly income and pay these taxes on neces-
sites rather than luxuries
No use foong ourselves, when government
spends the bill is to be paid in one way or another
And it is just as well not to let step taken by
government leadership the path of payment
blind us to the fact that all of US that path
already and will have to go good deal farther
along it-Goldsboro News.

BEWARE OF HEADLINES
f newspaper headlines.

Beware of newspaper headlines.
This part of newspapering is not the, more con-
sidered and thorough phase in "making up the
page" as. it is usually done with speed and with
less accuracy than other parts of paper. Urgent
conditions involved in "going to- press make this
so, and brevity needs also play part.
For instance, We picked up Roanoke Va, pa
following words in big type: ARRESTS for drunken
driving show drop here since repeal"
The head did not tell an untruth. But due to
necessary brevty only one fact could be presented
and that fact was that there were less arrests
"here" To mind and quick decision after
first reading, it appeared that drunk driving was
on the decrease in Virginia's first year of repeal
But what We're the true facts in the story of the
article? Roanoke was the only one of eight cities
reported that had appreciably lower list of ar
rests for drunk driving. Alexandria had more than
a 200 per cent increase. Norfolk had nearly 100
per cent in crease and Richmond had so per cent
increase. And the total increase of all the eight
cities averaged more than 20 per cent y
Read the headlines of the paper with a doubling
mind. Read the articles for the facts. And in this
particular connection may we also repeat former
injunction? Do not make too early guess of what
is the success failure of the new liquor regime.
Time alone will tell And after one years trial in
South Carolina it is possible that we will find the
same condition as, in Virginia, namely, more ar
rests rather than fewer.-Rock Hill, S. c., Herald.
