1t was a dramatic, climatic mo-

With his coat and clerical collar
removed, his shirt open at the neck,
perspiration streaming down his

was finishing his castigation of New
Deal and Republican leadership.
Only a few minutes before he had
turned the convention into a bed
lam of applause when he called the

Liar"
With delegates standing, cheering,
shouting, he put one arm around
the shoulder of DR.. Townsend, the
other around the Rev. Gerald l.. K
Smith, and cried out.

four-square.
There was no unification OF indem-

the late Huey P. Long and now led
by the Rev. Smith.
They will retain their own or

to tour the nation together in be-

TIME FOR ACTION

No issue that the next Congress will consider will be
more important than the tax issue. And none will attest
so overw helming a proportion of the people.
We have achieved a considerable measure of industrial
recovery The need for much of the relief spending Of the
last few years has been eliminated. The time is here when
we must. as a nation, balance the books, and return to normal
governmental fiscal policies.
1t is PROFESSIONALLY true that the burden of taxation,
plus the fear of still heavier taxation in the future, is keep
ing industry from making even faster progress toward COM
plete recovery. An investor who fears that the money he
places in an industrial enterprise where it would create
wealth and jobs and stimulate the entire business structure
may get virtually eaten up by taxation, is naturally super
cautions. The result is tight money! SO far as many in
dustries are concerned.
The first step toward solving our fiscal propem is to
balance the budget. The second step is to begin a program
to Systematically reduce our public debt. The third step is
to lower the tax load as soon as possible.
to the other. They constitute the only road toward sound
governmental finance and normal prosperity.
The duty of Congress is clear and pressing. Most of
our Senator's and Representatives have promised tax reduc-
ton to the voters who elected them. The time for converse
ton has passed-and the time for making good on promises
has arrived.

CONFUSION AS TO SECURITY TAX.

Seemingly employers Of less than eight persons will not
escape paying a tax as a part of the burden of the old age
security plan.
There are two taxes to be levied. One is called unem-
ployment compensation tax and the other the old age annuni-
ty tax. Employers of less than eight escape the former
tax but must pay the latter. Likewise employees of small
business firms rllst pay their share of the old age annuity
tax.
All employers of eight or more must pay the unemploy-
ment compensation tax on their 1886 payroll while the old
age annuity tax is not levied until after January LIST. The
compensation tax is one per cent of 1886 payroll, 2 per cent
in 1887 and 3 per cent in 1888 and thereafter.
The l per cent old age annuity tax in 1887 paid only on
salarlse and wages up to $1,000; IN remains l per cent IN 1888
and 1899, and goes to 1h per cent for each employer and
employe in 1910, 1941 and 1912; it goes to 2 per cent in 1913,
1914 and 1915; increases to 2a per cent in 1916, 1947 and
1948; it reaches the maximum of 3 per cent for each employ
er and employe in 1949 and continues 8 per cent each year
thereafter.

Thus, new investments are
seriously handicapped, not be-
cause they may not seem promis-
ing, but because the capital gains

ternal Revenue Act largely out
law them.
Then there is an unwholesome
effect on the market for equities
In general. An investor, COMPEL
ed to hold equities because of the
tax laws which would penalize
him, should he liquidate, occupies
an unwilling position or market
0bstructionist. He cannot sell his
investment securities when there
is a normal reason for selling.
Thus the market is not supplied
In a normal way when new buy
ers appear. Values therefore
tend to climb above a normal lev
ell, thus, in a measure, thwartiug
the processes of normal trading
in equities.

higher tax rate than has the
United States, ignores capital
gains and losses in its tax sched-
ules, and relies upon augmented
income taxes from enterprise ex-
pansion and increased earning

In all probability, economic

Mr.. Hull's reciprocal trade
treaties not only are breaking

gain impetus.
But the status of investment

Investors will not realize OH

they are unduly penalized on re-

The capital gains and losses

BIG SHORTAGE OF
HORSES IN MISSISSIPPI

There is a reason for and an
answer to the present high price
OF farm work stock, for while
present levels appear justified by
a decline OF nearly a fifth in the
Nations work stock population,
the resultant situation is viewed
as an enhanced opportunity for
farmers to profit by producing
their own work stock.
AT the beginning of the present
year official estimates showed an
annually continued decline in
work stock population in Missis-
sippie and throughout the United
States. In 1880 there were 1G2,-
900 horses and colts in Mississip-
pi, and in 1886, $4,000. In the
United States the number declin-
ed from 13,742,000 to 1867, 900.
Horses and mules, including colts,
totaled in Mississippi 100000 in
1880 and AGE, 900 in 1886, and in
the United States 10,124,00O in
1880 and 16,317, 900 in 1886. a
further decline approximating
100000 head is anticipated at the
beginning of the 1887 season.

Here is real industrial progress-the kind of progress
that provides employment, stimulates a multitude of other
industries through purchases, creates real productive wealth
and taxable income and, finally, improves the standards of a
vital public esrvjce. 1t is emblematic of the kind of progress
being made by other railroads as well.
And this money is being spent in the face of the fact
that the railroad industry has a long way to go before it can
operate on a generally profitable basis. 1t is true that both
passenger and freight rafic are increasing 1T is also true
that the lines as a whole are doing little better than breaking
even, largely because of our inequitable transport policy that
favors other carriers at their expense. Think of the millions
that would be spent if we created a policy that gave the
railroads a fair competitive break and placed them on an even
regulatory basis with their competitors.
