DOUBLE TAXES

The overlapping of taxes and the
taxing power by the state govern
ments and the Federal government
J seems to be bringing about a situa-
ton which calls for correction and
many readjustments. Some way
should be found to place definite
limits upon the fields of taxation
occupied by the national govern
ment and the state governments
respectively.
The Treasury Department has
recently made a report on double
taxation" from 1880 to 1885.
There are six fields of taxation in
which both the Federal and the
state governments operate. These
are inheritarce taxes, individual in
come tares, corporation taxes, gaso-
line taxes .liquor taxes and tobacco
taxes. While the Federal govern
ment took $2,271,440,000 in tax
es from these sources in the fiscal
year of 1885, the states also col
lected over $1,000,000,00 0 from
the same sources.
From all but one of these taxes
the Federal government takes more
than do all of the states which levy
them. The gasoline tax, however,
yielded nearly 5000, 900 to the
states and only a little over $780,
100000 to the Federal government
Not all of the states impose inheri-
tance and income taxes but so long
as these fields are left open to the
states the temptation is strong to
take advantage of these opportunl-
ties to increase the state revenue.
The largest source of tax income
of the states and their subdivisions
is the tax on real estate. This is a
which the Federal government
does not touch. 1t would seem rea-
sonable for the Federal government
to keep out of the gasoline tax bus
mess and for the states to leave in
come and inheritance taxes and to-
bacco taxes to Uncle Sam. There
certainly should be some way
found to set up a sharp line of de-
marcation between the taxing au-I
thority of the states and that of
the central government.

rye III refused to take the advice
of his Cabinet, which was to leave
the American colonies alone, and
by his stubborness forced the Rev.
dictionary War and lost the colon
les. Now an American woman
whom King Edward VIII wants to
marry has precipitated the most
serious English constitutional crises
in more than $50 years.
Mrs. Simpsons ancestors fought
the British in the Revolution.
o modern
The only ground upon which the
British Cabinet objected to the
Kings marrying Mrs. Simpson was
not that she was a Commoner nor
an American, but that she had been
twice divorced. That fact, they
felt, would impair the respect
which they felt the peoples of the
British Empire should feel for their
queen; but when the King proposed
to marry her in his capacity as
of Cornwall, and not IS King
they said it could lot be done.
Anyone he married would have to
be Queen.
Kings have been married before
to divorces, and at least one ia
nous monarch, Henry VIII, divor-
ced two or three of his own wives.
I think there is a good deal OF
hypocrisy about this divorce pre-
text. Certainly the postwar atmo-
in which King Edward has
grown up takes a much more lib
eral attitude toward divorce than
did the people of his Great Grand
mother, Victoria's time.

viewpoint.
THE SPEAKERSHIP
Present indications are that the
new Congress will be organized
with the Southern Democrats in
complete control. The battle for
the speakership in which the North
and East are lined up behind Con-
gresham O'Connor of New York.
against the Southern Democratic
wing of the party, which appears
to be solidly behind Representa-
tive Sam Rayburn of Texas, seems
at this time to be most likely a
victory for Rayburn.
As Washington views the labor
situation, it seems to be getting GU,
of hand. Most serious of all of the
increasing number of strikes is tina,
of the sailors and longshoremen or
both coasts.
One of he early acts of the new
Congress may be the establishment
of a Maritime Mediation Boarc
with rather broad authority to take
command of this situation and use
whatever force may be necessary
to prevent interference with sea,
going commerce, pending the ad.
justment Of disputes between work
ers and shipowners.
There is no peace in sight BE-
tween the two major factinos Of
Organized labor, the American
Federation and the Committee fol
Industrial Organization.
The Department of Labor is al
most in despair at the failure of its
efforts thus far to avert or to set
tie the strikes in the glass industry
the rubber industry and various
other industries, the effect OF
which has been to slow up produc-
ton of commodities for which the
demand is increasing.

period of forty-five years.
The United States average rate
for the forty-one states reporting
lynchings is SIT lynchings per
100000 population. The seven
states and the District of Columbia
which reported no lynchings have
12,695,00O inhabitants, and if New
York with her II, $4,000 inhabi-
tants is included, we have in the
northeastern part of the United
States eight states with nearly IS
million inhabitants with only two
lynchings in the last forty-five
years. This is a phenomenal record
which should cause some of the
southern states to blush with shame.
During the last As years sixty
six lynchings are reported % have
occurred in North Carolina. Of this
total 81 were negroes and nine were
whites. The rate is slightly more
than two lynchings per 100000
population for the As year period.
Compared with the other south
ern states, North Cardinals low
rate is rather commendable but only
relatively so. Our rate is less than
one-tenth the rate for Mississippi
and considerably below the rate of
all the other southern states unless
Maryland and West Virginia are to
be classed as southern.

POPULATION DATA
(1930 Census)
THE ROOTS OF WAR

The alliance between Germany
and Japan for the avowed purpose
of checking the spread of Com
munism is taken by the Russian
government as a direct threat
against hat nation. To observe
from this side Of the Atlantic it
certainly looks as if Germany and
Japan were getting ready to start
to carve Russia up and divide it
between them. Japan has been
steadily encroaching upon the Dor
ders of Russia's eastern Asiatic ter
ritory, while Hitler, the ruler of
Germany, has more than once spok-
en- publicly of the value to Ger
many of the mining and agricul-
tural resources of western Russia.
Mussolini has not formally taken
Italy into this anti-C Communist
combine, but there is no question
where the sympathies of the Italian
government lie.
The situation very clearly holds
the seeds of war. That the rest of
Europe is greatly concerned is evil
denced by the fact that in both
England and France children are
being taught the use of gas masks,
and great supplies of these protec-
tive devices are being manufacture
ed. In Paris and other French
cities gas-proqf and bomb-proof
shelters are being constructed und-
erground. Paris is built upon a
foundation which is literally hon
eycombed with caverns, and these
are now being converted into shelf
ers against a possible AFRAID. In
England plans are under way for
great underground storehouses for
essential food supplies, chiefly in
abandoned mines, so hat in ease
of war the English people could
not be starved out by a blockade
of their coasts.
Stain, the dictator of Russia, is
Boosting that the Russian air forces
are superior in numbers and fight
ing power to those Of any other
nation. Italy, by backing the Fas-
cist revolutionists of Spain, is ap-
parently seeking to extend its pow
er along the whole of the Mediter-
ranean, greatly to the disturbance
of the British, who feel that they
must keep the water route to their
Far Eastern colonies open and und-
er their own control at all hazards.
This whole situation arises from
the fact that there are three great
nations, Italy, Germany and Japan,
whose population is increasing fast
er than their food resources can be
increased, and who have no more
room within their own borders in
which to expand, and no colonial
possessions to which they can ship
their surplus population. 1t is inevi-
table, under such circumstances,
that any nation should try to get
possession of the most accessible
land not already over-populated. If
Germany and Japan carry out
their apparent purpose of dividing
Russia between them, there is little
doubt that Italy would seize the
opportunity afforded by the con-
fusion of war to extend its power
over Southeastern Europe and oc-
cupy Yugoslavia, Greece and pos
siblv Rumania and Bulgaria.
We are fortunately situated in
America that we still have almost
unlimited room in which to grow
and no neal neighbors who want to
take anv Of orr land awav from

KING his rights
I have a feeling that the great
majority of Americans feel much
more sympathetic with King Ed
ward VIII of England in his clash
with the British Government, than
they do with Prime Minister Stan
ley Baldwin and his Cabinet. That
is not only because the King made
himself we'll known and popular on
his two visits to this country when
he was Prince of Wales, but be-
aus of what l think is the general
American feeling that even a kings
private life and matrimonial affairs
are his own concern and those of
nobody else.
As | read the news from Eng
land, the Kings desire to marry
Mrs. Simpson was merely seized
upon as an excuse by the ministry
to undertake to reassert the exclu-
sive right of Parliament to govern
the Empire, and to rebuke the King
for what seemed to be interference
in political affairs. The existing
order of the British aristocracy is
afraid of what might happen if the
King showed too much sympathy
for and interest in the troubles OF
the common people and the unem-
ployed.

CONSTITUTION .

CONSTITUTION -. unique
The British Constitution is a
curious thing. 1t is not written
down anywhere. 1t is made up en-
tirely of laws, customs and preced-
ents. Its Fundamental principle,
however, is that Parliament consti-
tutes the actual government of the
nation and chat the King must be
guided by the advice of the Cabi-
net, which is composed of members
of the House of Commons. Even
the House of Lords has nothing to
say about the government.
The latest amendment to the
British Constitution was the adop-
ton by the Commons of a resolu-
ton depriving the House Of Lords
of its previous veto power enact
ments of the Commons. That was
just before the war, when Lloyd
George, as Premier, was fighting
for his program of land taxation
and greater security for labor, a
program of which the Lords did
not approve. King, George V, acting
on the advice of his Cabinet,
threatened to create enough new
Peers of the Realm to provide a
majority for Lloyd Georges pro-
gram in the House of Lords. Under
this threat the Lords capitulated.
There have been clashes between
the King and Parliament many
times in the past 800 years.
ABDICATION e. James II
One thing the King of England
can always do if he disagrees with
his ministers is to quit his job. One
side or the other must resign, if
they cannot reconcile their differ
ence. If the Cabinet resigns the
King must call upon some other
member of Parliament to form a
new Cabinet. If he cannot get the
support of a majority of Parlia-
ment, the next step is to call for a
general election of a new Parlia-
ment. And if the new Parliamen,
still stands out against the King
there isn't anything left for the
King to do but either to come off
his perch Or resign.
James II chose to abdicate the
throne of England rather thar
yield to the dictation of Parliament,
He did not formally resign, but
threw the great seal of England
into the Thames, got on a ship and
went to the Continent. A. grea,
many good people of England still
think that his descendants are the
|rightful monarchs of the nation.

each which is required daily by the

would also be a good thing to
know whether taking too much of

no account of either Of these ques-

gered by the idea lately brought
to my attention -Vitamin D-con-

No Harm
It has been suggested that too
much of certain vitamins do harm,
but this is probably unsound.
What we know about the body's
habits in other functions would
lead us to believe that it throws
off the excess of substances which
it is accustomed to utilize. 49,.
The vitamin nutritional disorders
are not due to any upset in the
body, but result simply from lack
of the vitan1in in the food. They
are unique in medicine because
they are due to the absence of
something in the body. I
A common remark goes: "Our
ancestors didn't know anything
about vitamins and they got along
all right, didn't they? Why should
I bother to learn to include them
in my food?"
1t must be admitted there is q
great deal of sense in that atti.
tude. But we must make some
reservations. It is easier today
to have a balanced meal including
vitamins, without giving any
thought to the matter or deiiber-
ately planning to incorporate the
vitamins, than it was SO years ago,
because the eating habits Of our
generation have changed so. We
have more green vegetables and
fruits than our grandfathers. Ow-
ing to refrigeration and other
methods of food preservation and
efficient, rapid transportation, we
have far more fresh foods. And
we have them the year round. Our
grandfathers led a life which con-
sisted of nutritional ups and downs,
the ups coming in the summer, the
downs following long winter Of
eating salt foods, bread and pota-
toes. The change has been 80
gradual that we are not aware Of
our mercies.
