WORST OF ALL MUDDLES

X7HEN Hamilton was urging in the Federalist his
W famous arguments for adoption of the Federal
Constitution he tried to disspate fears of "dupca
ton of tax burdens" and double sets of revenue
officers" 10 him taxation for nation of 10 youth
full states looked so easy that he predicted:
81 When the particular debts of the states done
away, and their expenses come to be limited within
their natural compass, the possibility almost of inter-
ference will vanish. small land tax will answer
the purpose of the states and will be their most SIM
pie and most fit resource o.
What would Hamilton say were he alive to see the
grand national tax scramble of today?
How would he take the recent report of the New
York State Tax Commission showing that in that
state alone no less than eight statutes dup
cate Federal statutes, while the number of such
applications or conflicts in the country at large
ceeds $50?
1t was Hamilton, however, who also said:
There is no part of the administration OF govern
ment that requires extensive information and
thorough knowledge of the principles of political
economy, SO much as the business of taxation.
It might be demonstrated that the most produc
tive system of finance will always be the least bur-
densome.
Millions of living American taxpayers will agree,
we think, that there is field in which present
craftsmanship ags so far behir< need in the field
of taxation Nor was catch-up urgently
and poignantly to be desired.

PICKETING ORDINANCE

THE Kokomo City Council, under the pressure
of organized labor, has repealed the anti
picketing ordinance it passed May g. 1885,
The ordinance stirred bitter dispute in Howard
County. In recent months the feeling became so
intense that many council meetings were uproari-
Gus affairs in which labor leaders openly denounced
city officials.
The climax came when Councilman Kenneth
Shockley, who had voted for the anti-picketing
ordinance and against it repeal, elected Demo-
cratic county chairman
The Kokomo Trades and Labor Council spread
it's attack to the local Democratic Party in general
Labor boycotted an important meeting at which the
three candidates for the Democratic nomination for
Governor spoke.
On the eve of a mass protest meeting of labor in
the council chamber, the council met and repealed
the ordinance.
TNHE action was victory for organized labor only
= in that it removed from the books unconsti-
uto1lal ordinance The right of peaceful picketing
has been upheld by the highest courts of the land
The distinction in a labor dispute should be
drawn between peace and violence, not between
picketng and non-picketing. All the more reason
why peaceful picketing should be upheld as mat
ter OF right and law without the necessity of resort
to the tactics used in Kokomo.

BABY BONDS-A GOOD BUY

1T has been pointed out frequently that banks in
surance companies other corporations and upper
bracket income taxpayers are the principal holders
of government tax-exempt bonds.
But for the first time since the Liberty Bond
drives and thrift stamps of the World War period,
middle-class Americans are in increasing numbers
also becoming creditors of their government. little
more than a year ago. the Treasury put on sale
through the postofees series Of United States
Savings Bonds, in denominations of $25, $50 500,
$500 and $1,000 Already the public has bought more
than $4OOOOOOOO (maturity value) worth of these
bonds
The Treasury does not report how many indivd-
ual citizens have made purchases. It is known.
though that they not all little fellows" Thou
sands of investors says the Treasury made the legal
maximum purchase in 1935-$10OOO maturity value
for one calendar year-and are eligible to make SIM
liar purchases for the 1886 calendar year. 1t is not
surprising that persons of wealth have rushed in to
buy these bonds, because their rate of return, 80
per cent compounded semi-annually, is higher than
is offered by government bonds of larger denomi-
nations.
More persons of modest means might well emu
late this method by which the rich get richer If you
go to a postoffice window today and pay in $1875,
you can go to postoffice window 10 years from to-
day and cash that Baby Bond for $25. Similarly,
$3.50 today will grow to $50 in 10 years, and $75 to
500.
Not only is it good investment for the individual,
but it also is good for the government to get its
curities into the hands of the rank and file If get
more people in this country owning government
promises pay and more people conscious that they
are taxpayers we shall have just that many more
active citizens.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson


THE papers are filled with pleas for ex-soldiers
i the aged, the orphaned and the poor; for the
farmer, the school teacher and the convict Why
then it so hard to flag public pity for the house
maid who has neither social consideration prestige
or security?
The depression has imposed humiliations galore
upon millions of proud Americans. Not the least of
these come downs" have been suffered by college
graduates, professional and we'll paid office
workers who at last have had to offer themselves
for domestic service in order to eat
In decently ordered society," of course this ought
not to be regarded tragedy. 1t is such in ours
because, although talk and write approvingly of
democracy, we are snobs. And snobbery seems to
come to full Towering in the feminine nature.
Magnioquently We laud the virtues of the home
body while we crush beneath our indifference the
person who tends our homes.
1t is interesting to see the friendness which
exists between the business man and his employees,
and then to visit his home and note the attitude
his wife takes with her hired help. The differnce
offers an excellent commentary on democracy as it
functions at home and at the office.
No reputable could feel the complete ir-
responsibility for the happiness and well-being of
any worker that the sweet complacent lady in lux
urious house can demonstrate toward other women
who keep that house clean and charming and so
help her maintain an aristocratc pose. Whether her
maids are happy is not her concern. The fact that
most damns us as citizens is the feminine tendency
to boast of keeping an excellent maid for very little
money.
