SO TAXES ON YOUR
LOAF OF BREAD

The cost of government, ac'
cordine to the best estimated, TAX
es more than 20 per cent of the
national income.
In other words, if we work five
weeks. the proceeds of only four
weeks work is retained by US.
The monev paid us for the other
week goes to government.
Only small part of this money
is taken from us in direct taxes.
The greater part filters its way
into government Golfers through
hidden" or indirect taxes. It is a
major item in the cost of living
Bread provides an excellent ex-
cellent example of this. No com.
modify is more necessary. Yet
each leaf of bread you buy repre-
sents 53 different taxes paid
Some of these taxes are paid by
the farmer, some by the flour
mill. some by the bakery. Every
one of them have added to the
cost of that loaf of bread.
During.the past three years tht
American people have paid 500,
100000 more for bread than they
would have paid had its price
stayed constant Taxation was
not the sole cause of the rise
but it was potent influence.
What is true of bread, is true Of
meat, shoes, automobiles. furn-
lure = anything and everythiT
you use.
Think of taxation in this way
as thing that hits you directly il

Suit Simplicity Subtle
and Therefore Expensive

Simple suits are always in de-
mand, but the simplicity of such
suits is subtle and therefore always
expensive. Chanel has created a
beauty which appears for summer
in lightweight gray flannel, and for
early autumn wear in smooth navy
wool. The jacket, with one-button
fastening at the waist, is slightly
fitted in front and has a straight
back. On one of the wide-stitched
revers is a slit pocket that holds a
hankie. There is a tiny turnback

FIFTEEN MILLION

The class | railroads of the coun-

al. had better financial expert

of 1886 than in any comparable

1t is estimated that their net

deduction of fixed charges, will be
between SIS, 100000 and $4,000,
900, as compared with a net loss
of S7S,0O0,000 for the same months
last year. In the same period of
1881, the net loss came to $5 700,-

steel prices in the past two years, this
increase has been substantially less than
that experienced in the general COM
modify price level in the same period.
Employees in no other industry have
met the distressing circumstances at
tending the depression more manfully
and more generously than those of the
iron and steel industry. They readily
accepted a share -the-WOrk program
which none of us, at the time, thought
would cut so deeply into their working
hours as actually happened. They have
in consequence had periods of very low
total weekly earnings, irrespective of
the fact that hourly rates have been
well maintained and are higher today
on the average, than those prevailing in
1929. They have had to meet losses and
make sacrifices no less than have the
stockholders and they have accepted
the situation, which, for the best good
of all, entailed the sharing of the avail
able work among all the employees.
At the same time, these employees
have been subjected to propaganda OF
the most insidious form and have stead
faStly rejected the offers of those who
would capitalize upon their~misfortunes
and enlist them under the banner OF
principles alien to our American con-
Stitutional form of government. They
are naturally frank and straightforward
in making their wants known, but also
they are reasonable and fair in arriving
at their decisions. They ask for the
facts in the situation and on securing
them have no difficulty in reaching
sound conclusions.
1t is not my purpose to enter upon g
discourse of the so-called labor situ-
alton, but I would like to express one
thought. If you want the actual facts
in this situation and want to learn the
real attitude of the employees and o1
the employers, talk with bonafide MEM
bers of each group directly and do not
get your information from sources
which are prejudiced or have selfish
interests to serve.
The proportionate place that the iron
and steel industry has taken in oul
national economy is not susceptible OF
exact determination but it is certain
that without the resources of iron ore
and coal so located as to permit reason
able assembling costs, and without the
vast investment of capital for economi-
cal production with the necessary
management and technique, the ma
tional economic structure would be on
an entirely different and a much
smaller and less promising basis.
Had the steel industry in the United
States failed to attain its present state
of development, Steel and Iron could
have been brought in from foreign
sources, but not conceivably either at a
price nor in a quantity nor with the
same far-reaching social and economic
benefits as have resulted from the de-
velopment of domestic steel industry
and those many other vital industries
in the upbuilding of which it has been
an important factor
Europe had neither the vailable sup
plies of easily won and assembled iron
ore and coal, nor did the old world
show indications of the genius that was
behind the steel development in this
country. This genius was fostered by
the opportunity offered to individual
