nave been almost freest of any
people in the world from the bur-
dens OF taxation. But that period
comes TO an end and we NAV now
peel our weather eyes to see how
Americans will react to severe
taxes
THIS year, in New YORK State at
- least, for the first time it will
be true to say that for taxpayers
in certain brackets the combined
Federal, state and city taxes will
make certain American citizens the
most heavily taxed people in the
world. How smoothly, quietly,
even unperceived this can come
about is illustrated in the state of
New York.
Last year the Legislature passed
n new tax bill. But thing like
chat, affecting the pockets of so
many, could actually go through
without any one knowing that taxes
we're being raised to point which
gives citizens of that state a rec
ord world standing and without
any one realizing it was being done.
There was no cutlery. People
did not, until very recently, realize
it. The squirming under this re-
alization now gives some idea of
the manner in which Americans
everywhere will behave when we
settle down to the business of
taxation.
TT is an appalling thing to be told
= that now the Federal govern
ment is raising only one-half the
money it spends and that the other
half is obtained by borrowing; that
only per cent of the governments
expenditures are obtained by per-
sonal income taxes and per cent
by corporation income taxes and
that all the rest is obtained by
taxes which may be classified as
one form or another of sales taxes.
Obviously, beginning next year
this vicious system will be aban-
doned. Who is going to make the
break? What party is going to be
resorted to? And what will be the
reaction to the change? 1t is
bound, for one thing, to provoke a
violent interest in politics.
1t is bound to, bring about
strong cleavage between those who
have and those who have not. 1t
is due to give an impetus to the
populist parties and to consolidate
the properties groups into tax-re-
sisting armies.
1t may completely break up our
old party lines. 1t is full of posi-
bilitieS interesting to ponder now.
1t probably means that we are
about to enter an era of political
activity exceeding anything ever
known in the country before.

VIEWED ISSUE
Eastern Carrier Contests
Fare Reduction by
|. C.. C..

Times Special
NEW YORK, March 13.-Decision
of the New York, New Haven g.
Hartford Railroad to contest the
Interstate Commerce Commissions
recent order for a reduction of pas
senger fares On Eastern lines is
causing many well-informed per-
sons to wonder whether the carriers
will abandon the time-honored pol
icy of favoring Federal regulation
over state.
The roads always have favored
control by the United States gov
eminent rather than the states be-
cause many lines operate under per-
petual charges restricting passenger
fare charges to cents a mile. This
is the case with the line of the New
York Central Railroad operating be-
tween Albany and Buffalo.
Further Increase Ordered
In 1917, when the government
took over the railroads, the direc-
tor general Immediately ordered
passenger fare increases and, soon
after they were returned to their
owners, the Interstate Commerce
Commission ordered another in
crease which brought the fares up
to their present levels. The state
of New York Immediately brought
suit against the I. C. c., declaring
that the original charter of the
Central prevented a higher fare
than cents a mile.
The Supreme Court, however, up
held the Federal governments right
to direct increased passenger fares
which served to stop similar suits
by other states.
This decision, handed down in
1923, is important today also be-
cause of its bearing on the proposed
test of the constitutionality of the
public utility holding company act
of 1885, The utilities always have
favored state regulation and have
fought any move to bring them un-
der the Federal government.
Decision Termed Sweeping
In view of this decision by the
Supreme Court Is years ago and
which is described by we'll Informed
individuals as rather sweeping, the
question is raised as to whether the
tribunal may use it as a precedent
when it comes to decide the holding
company case.
Many corporation officials and
lawyers see the possibility of the
court quoting that decision even
though a state and not a corpora
ton was the other party to the suit
If such should be the case, it
would insure the constitutionality of
the bill, interested parties declare.
The possibility certainly is not rails
ing the confidence of the interests
involved, particularly following the
recent setback in the North Caro-
lima Federal Court.
