FOOLISH ANTi-WAR ACTIVITY

Time and again we have called atten-
ton to the foolish anti-war resolutions
passed by various organizations, generally
pledging not to participate in "any war"
We do not doubt the sincerity of those who
support such declarations Undoubtedly
they are moved by noble sentiment, but, in
our opinion, they have become lost in the
worship of beautiful dream and walk
among practical issues with their heads in
the clouds of fancy where the mists obscure
their vision.
One reason for our cynical observance
and lack of respect for such piOus resOlu-
tons is the memory which goes back to the
days of the World War In that tragic
period, men and women everywhere fell
over themselves to support their govern
ments regardless of their past record as
pacifists, and determined enemies of war.
The same phenomenon will be apparent
when the bugles sound the alarms for the
next military holocaust.
In our opinion, the ardent pacifists of
today will then conclude that they face
new circumstances, and choosing between
submission to revolving conditions or war
fare they will do as men and women have
heretofore done-jOln in the support of the
country in which they have been reared. In
individual to have freedom of action and
not to be embarrassed by foolish pledges
from the distant past

AN OLD-TIMER'S DIARY

an interesting sidelight on the views and
habits of an Old-time Delaware legislator,
Hon: E. Sutton, who is credited with being
the father of that states excellent school
system.
Sutton was a member of the state as
semby more than a century ago, in 1923
to be exact, and like many of his day and
since, he kept diary in which his acts and
impressions were recorded. Some excerpts
follow.
Jan. II, 1823-Attended state gen
eral assembly. Favor school BILL Paid
three levies for oats for horse. Got some
fine gin today. Took some home in my sad
die bags. | believe in education
A few days later he wrote:

On Jan. 25, 1928, he made this entry ::

eral assembly killing time Sammy Warden

rough and ready legislator who mixed
liquor and learning was CORRESPONDENCE

THE $4,000 100000 TAX ITEM!

What is the largest item in the Amer
lean budget?
Is it food, rent, clothing, or light and
power? If you guess any of these, you're
entirely wrong.
The largest item is taxesi
Our annual tax load-federal state
and locals now in the neighborhood of
,OOO,OOO,OOO. By contrast, the annual
food bill is $11 800, 900 000-the annual
rent BILL $1O,OOO,OOO, OOO-the annual
clothing bill, $4,000, 900, OOO-the annual
light and power bill, 100000,
Government, in other words, takes,
directly and indirectly, more of our income
than is taken by the grocer and butcher
more than is taken by the landord-twice
as much as we pay the clothing store-and
six times as much as we pay the electric
and gas company!
But, you say, I'm man of average
means. | pay little of this tax lOad-big
business carries the principal burden
If you think that, reflect on these
figures: If the entire net income of all
the corporations in this country in 1888
last year for which official figures are
availabe-had been confiscated for tax
purposes, it would have paid just about
one-quarter of the total tax bill, leaving
three-quarters to be made up from other
sources!
The facts speak for themselves. Tax
alton is the greatest problem the people
face-and it is constantly becoming graver.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-06-04

The alternative are, first, to distrib-
ute all earning: and pay no corpora
ton tax, or second, to retain part or
all of the earnings and thus pay tax
that is severely gradua ed according
to the proportion of the net income
withheld. In one case there would be
No future additions to surplus from
earnings and in the other the growth
of the surplus would be materially
slowed down.
The principal reason for keeping
part or all of the earnings in the bust
ness are, first. expand it; second.
to safeguard it against competition
and other attacks. and third. to equal.
ize operations over good and bad
years
If the full purpose of the new tax
bill is actually realized, expansion
will stop or it will be slow and diff
cult. This will II ure all small corpo-
rations. since they must pillow back
their earnings" in order to grow.
arge corporations will be less af-
fected. for existing SURPRISES are not
taxed. The plan therefore discrimi-
mates against the small. ne w under
takings that still have their way TO
make. Consider how different the his
tory of the automobile would have
been if this kind of tax had been
used thirty years ago. Automobiles
would still be an expensive luxury
today.
Complete or nearly complete dis
tribution of earnings as earned is a
substitution of the grasshopper's
mode of life for that Of the bee. The
grasshopper chirps all summer long
and freezes TO death in the winter.
while the bee eats regularly the year
round, although he could not if all
honey gathered were eaten during
the summer. Stockholders would get
more dividends in the good years. if
the tax plan operates as expected,
but they would get nothing at all in
the bad years. There would be steady
employment during the good years,
but much worse unemployment dur
ing the future bad years than was the
case in the last depression.
This is clear from the record. Thou
sands of corporations were able to
operate at loss during the depres-
sion because Of the reserves that had
been stored up during the earlier
prosperous years Like the bee. they
lived on the honey that was not eaten
while the sun was shining. Without
these reserves there would have been
many more failures. and a much
greater decline of employment. More
over. these concerns that were lin
the red" paid property and Other
taxes t. local governments. even If
they had no net income on which to
pay federal taxes.
The new tax plan will lessen the
ability of corporations to pay regu-
lar dividends. tV maintain regular and
steady employment. and to pay taxes.
Thus everyone. including the gov
eminent, stands to lose by it.
