Farm Machinery
Sales i'm 1885 Show
75Per Cent Climb
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, January 3.-Sales OF
agricultural machinery manufacturers
during 1885 are currently estimated
to have exceeded 1884 by about IS
per cent, according to the Standard
Statistics Co. of New York. which also
states that leading tractor and farm
equipment producers are now making
plans to take care Of additional sales
in 1896 Of around IS per cent.
Recent reports indicate that these
expectations are reasonable. Tractors
are still selling well despite the fact
that the current period is seasonsbly
slow. Thus, although dealers are still
buying in fair volume, stocks In the
hands of selling outlets are low.
Meanwhile. manufacturers are main
tanning a high rate Of production to
build up supplies for the Spring selling
season and to prevent recurrence Of
their experience in the early months
Of 1885, when stocks proved inade-
quate.

Chicago wheat held throughout the

CURIOUS YOUTH TAKES RISKS

The story from Santa Monica, Cal,
telling how a 16year-old boy lost his life
while using home made divers outfit to
explore the bottom of a yacht harbor, il
Illustrates the Unsuitable curiosity that fea-
lures the life of the average boy today.
Not many express themselves through
the use of gasoline can for helmet and
a garden hose and bicycle pump for a
lifeline in order to see under the water
and to explore places unknown but very
many of them seek to understand life and
to know it with equipment of mind and
body that is just as dangerous to happi-
ness.
Life is something of puzzle to the
boys and girls of this age. They grapple
with its problems and confront strange is
sues. Very of en they have little or no
guidance fronI parents or others. They
move along hmysterious courses, seeking un-
known goals that they little understand
: Adults insevery community have a
duty to assist these youngsters in finding
themselves and beginning the journey of
life along the right road. How many of
us attempt to do our part in this great obli-
cation? How many of us become so en-
crossed in our own selfish ambitions that
we lose sight of the youthful army that
walks behind us and forget to mark the
pitfalls that Turk in the shadows along the
path?

CIVIL SERVICE AND PERFECTION

ONe hears lot of talk about the civil
service. The subject has been before the
public for years, with most of the talking
generally undertaken by the politicians
whose party happens to be out of power at
the time.
The Spoils system that has been gen.
orally practiced for decades in the United
States is something of an evil. Most of us
admit it and yet, we are afraid, the habit
of putting political favorites in public of
flee will continue for some years to come.
Usually party, just coming into power,
will justify deferred placing of jobs in the
civil service by explaining that to do so
would be to perpetuate the jobs of those
rewarded by the opposition.
We are certainly anxious to see some
system introduced in American politics
that will develop what one would call
career men, in government service. At
the same time, the citizen who throws up
his hat every time civil service is mentioned
and imagines that all will be perfect once
every job gets into the classification, has
another guess coming
- Speaking frankly, there is nothing
that keeps an Individual on the job as
much as knowing that he has to do it well
or get out. fThe danger from civil service
is that the enploye soon gets the idea that
he has a Job for life that the service is
designed mostly for his own employment
and that he can sit tight and collect his
pay. Whether this is to be compared with
the danger that exists from political ia
vOritism the reader will have to judge for
himself or herself
The men and women who work for
the governments of the United States, in
Guiding State as we'll as Federal establish
ments, are no better and no worse than
other Americans. Some of them are cap
able, sincere and devoted to their tasks
Others are loafers, time-servers and ordi-
nary buns with political pulls. Protected
by mantle of civil service they would
continue to be divided into the same
classes, perpetuated on the payroll

GAS MASKS FOR ALL

The British government has decided
to manufacture sufficient gas masks to
supply the entire population if it "be-
comes necessary"
This, we submit, is one straw to show
which way the winds of war are blowing.
The only defense against the bombing
of cities and helpless civilian populations,
in the next war, will be superior air
strength available for the job. The use of
gas masks will be necessary to, protect
citizens from stray raiders, even if there
are adequate aircraft for defense.
Under the circumstances it might be
well for the people of the United States to
know what is going on in the world and
not to beguile themselves with the idea
that they are living in a world where ag-
erosion is dead and war an outside pos
sibility.

New Taxes Cypress Labor
-~----------~~-~ By CLARENCE w. FACKLER
Associate Professor of Economics, NeU York University

Enterprises which are viewed in
this light simply will not employ
labor to build new plants and equip
ment. Nor will they be able to hire
even a few workers during hard
times, because the penalties imposed
on providing funds for these pur-
poses are too heavy.
The results may not be felt until
1887, and even then may be hidden
in the maze of circumstances devel-
oping meanwhile. It will. therefore,
be some time before taxpayers get
wise to what is really going on, be-
cause the decline in the amount Of
food. clothing. and shelter that they
are able to obtain will be gradual.
Such taxes may drive corporate
SURPRISES into the open market" as
Mr.. Tugwell desires. But in the
course of time these levies will also
drive more labor on to relief rolls
as surely as leaves fall in Autumn.
II is an odd fact that in remembering
the forgotten man" by heavy taxes
on the industries in which he is able
to work. the government has pro-
vided over 81 400, 100000 to continue
him on Federal relief until the next
Congress meets in January.
Labor must realize that the ap-
pearance of prosperity just now
comes largely from the activity Of
a Federal government which is
spending 81 for every 46 cents of in
come, which is laying out this money
at rate of over S1.000000 an hour,
and which is mourning the largest
peace-time deficits in the country's
history (S4,760.OO0.0O0 in I935-36).
This extravaganza has cost $1,000
100000. and increased the public debt
to a new all-time high of almost S34,-
000,000.O00.
Right now the local, state and Fed
eral governments, in order TO defray
public expenses, are taking in taxes
as much as one-sixth of the national
income which the people produce
each year. Yet the national debt
mounts continually. When interest
rates rise later on, the cost Of carry
ing this burden will increase pro-
portionately, and taxes will be ele-
waited TO still higher levels.
So, inasmuch as there is no like
lihood that conditions viii be al
tered very much in the near future.
labor must dig deeper into its pocket
each year to pay indirect and direct
taxes. Besides. workers run the very
good chance of receiving smaller
weekly incomes because Of fewer
hours of employment For. as Fed
eral deficits are translated into taxes.
business is curtailed by the poorer
prospects for profit, and the employ
ment of labor declines.

Arguing weakly that Congress is more

Arguing weakly that Congress is more
to blame than President Roosevelt for
having surrendered its constitutional
powers, Senator Glass delivered himself
of the following condemnation of the New
Deal in a recent speech: I'VE now have
a system of government of privilege and
discrimination, such as Patrick Henry de-
nounced in the House of Burgesses when
he made his brief speech that it was not
proper to take the money of taxpayers of
Virginia and appropriate it to pay off
mortgages that had been made by thrift

legislation, these heavy taxes. which
are now laid on undistributed profits,
have the appearance of benefitting
the forgotten man." In reality. in
dustrial production will eventually
be discouraged, the demand for labor
reduced. and the forgotten man.
left poorer.
After a three months debate. Con-
gresS has solved the problem of how
to get $7OO.0000OO more to spend
without disturbing the voters. 1t has
hit upon the Tugwellian theory of
taxing the undivided profits of cor
porationS. In writing the law. it has
laid tax of 81 to S27 on every 500
of profits which corporations 60 not
pay to stockholders. but which they
retain instead and spend for expan-
sions and improvements.
If this were the extent of the forced
contributions, the financial burden
could possibly be borne. but when
there is imposed tax of So to SIS
on every 500 of income, and a CAPT.
tai stock tax and excess profits tax to
boot, the matter becomes a great deal
like loading down a mill-horse with
weights.
All factors taken together, any cor
poration finding it desirable to keep
its earnings. will be forced to pay on
the average about S35 out of every
500 of income to the Federal Treas
ury-a rate approximately 100 per
cent higher than heretofore.
To all appearances, corporations
are coming to be looked upon more
and more as concerns organized pri-
marily to pay the costs of govern
ment, instead of being considered as
undertakings established to provide
the greatest amount Of goods for con-
sumption.
