ing taxes. But such a tax will not ac-
tually cost them anything but trou-
bic They would also be permitted TO
devise their own ways and means Of
passing the tax on to their custom
crS."
One reason this legislator and 9TH
ers think the next General Assembly
is likely to consider and possibly on
act such n tax plan is the conviction
that tax expenditures cannot be de-
creased because Of the increasing ser
vice being demanded by the public.
Another reason is the helief that the
State government is going to be ready
to take a page from the Federal gov
ernment's book of tax tricks and at
last learn to cover up and sugar-coat
it's taxes so that they cannot be so
easily detected by the public.
"Thc State Of Virginia has had an
invisible sales tax for several years.
levied on the gross business done by
retail merchants and running mp rs
high AS 2 1-2 per cent. but few OF the
people in Virginia know about this
AK and it is not considered a sales
tax" this member of the General AS
scmsly said. 1.-THE state of Illinois
has a three per cent sales tax but
the merchants are not allowed to pass
pass it on to the customers AS a sep
aratc item. although at first the mcr-
chants tried to do this. But the IL
linOis Supreme Court held such &C
ticn was unconstitutional Many other
states have indirect sales taxes which
the public generally does not know Of.
$50 since it is necessary for the
State to have the revenue from such
sources and since it cannot get 1t
from property taxes, at least not I'M
der the present system in North Car
DINA. it cannot hope to get this rev.
enue from any other source. Consc-
quently, the only thing for the next
General Assembly to do is to sugar
coat the sales tax in a new form that
will not make it taste SO bad to the
public and re-enact it as a privilege
tax on the merchants"
The Federal government has been
collecting hundreds of millions of dol
lars from the processing taxes which
in turn were passed on to the job
hers and retailers from the manu-
facturers who in turn passed these
taxes on to their customers by in
creaSing their retail prices. But the
retailers did not remind their GUS
toners of tho fact that they were pay
ing a processing tax every time a pur-
chase was made. They merely includ-
cd the additional amount in the sell
ing price. it is pointed out.
That bitter opposition to this form
Of tax will develop if it is proposed
was readily conceded by this member
Of tho General Assembly. But the
necessity for retaining the revenue
from this source, as well as Of getting
still more revenue from other pur-
poses, may overcome all other objec-
tons in the end. he pointed out.

French Devaluation

Frances final surrender to devaluatlon of the franc, roughly agreeing with preyi- ous British and American devaluation, seems to clear the international business air and pave the way for more rapid bus mess recovery. France was being penalized by her own rigid adherence to her gold standard, which meant drastic deflation for her people and ruin for debtors.
 The basic trouble leading to such CO., operation among the big three money powers seems to be simply this, that there is no longer enough gold in the world to carry the worlds business on a modern scale if the old money standards are adhered to. So the pounds, francs, dollars, and so on, are "cut" to make more units of the basic money, and thus more currency and credit. This is a frank inflationary measure, having about the same effect on general business and the payment of obligations that core spending increase in the actual amount of gold would have.
 Such action can only be safe and lasting when the big economic powers agree on a common denominator of value. As soon as this delicate adjustment is worked out, the gold standard apparently is to be restored. With definite inter- national standard of value again, there should soon be more financial stability generally, and more political stability, with more rapid revival of international trade.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-30

Many in these parts are feeling no little joy in the predictions of the return of the chestnut. It's quite some years now since the old,chestnut grove was favorite spot of Autumn mixers or drivers. For some time the withered branches and tree stumps remained as reminders of the days when, but even dead remains of the trees have not been visible for some time. Now they say there are signs of chest nut revival right here in Connecticut. In some localities there have been reports of fresh green shoots sprouting from dead chestnut stumps. The New Haven Jour- nal-Courier comments: "Many modern youngster, monstrous as it is to contem- plate his deprivation, never saw chest nut in it's natural state. They have not gone hunting in the autumnal woods, be- fore the winter clamps down hard. They have not pierced their fingers with the hair-thin needles of the chestnut burr, nor scattered them all green on the attic floor to dry, open and reveal their inner riches" Now true this is and what lot of flooey must the old-time riddle seem to them. "I went into the woods and got it s. the more lc oked at it the less I liked it and took it home with me be- cause couldn't help it. ." The an- Swer being chestnut burr.

Child Gardeners

Crops were harvested in New Yotk's lower east side the other day when 100 children finished the years gardening activities. In half-acre area at one end of a small city park, these youngsters had raised corn, carrots, beets, Swiss char and marigolds.
 They planted their seeds on the first day of June. Each child had sixteen square feet of ground. During the sum- mer they weeded and watered. Finally came the day of inspection when prizes were given to those who had taken the most pains with their farming. Then the crops were harvested, and 54 boys and 46 girls, between and 12 years old, took home a basket full of vegetables apiece.
 Those crops won't go far toward feeding family during the winter, but what they mean to the youthful gardeners can hardly be measured Parks should be certain areas maintained thus for beauty. But it is a wise community that finds some spot, even in park, where chil- dren can dig and plant and cultivate and harvest for the health of their souls as we'll as their bodies.
