EMIL KNIPS
Fairhope, Al

Editor Asllov American:
Considerable stress is being laid
on the Importance of encouraging
new industries to locate in the state
and to relieve them of taxation as
much as possible. While the idea
of new industries, factories, plants,
etc. is desirable, still they should not
be solicited with view of giving them
tax exemptions and privileges not
enjoyed by industries already here.
1t may be well to see what hap
pened in states that tried this in the
past 10 or Is years. We will take
Florida and North Carolina. North
Carolina encouraged the mills from
the New England states and New
York area to move to North Carolina
by giving them certain tax eXemp-
tons. For a while this worked al
right, but it did not pan out very
well in the long run. The mills and
factories had to have experienced
help, so number of their old en-
ployes were moved with their fam
lilies: in a short time the local tax
payers found themselves paying for
the education of the children of the
migratory laborers, not receiving suf-
ficient return in taxes from the mills
and factories which had moved down
from the north. The tax problem
soon became serious. A number of
these mills and factories closed, leav-
ing debt and destitute people in the
state. About the same thing hap
pened in Florida and will happen
in any state which tries to artiicially
secure new industries by granting
special tax exemptions.
The federal government is trying
to regulate this and shortly certain
federal aid now granted states will
be withheld if the states do not in
stall an equitable tax system. This
can only be the logical result of such
practices as granting tax exemptions
to new industries for which there is
no real call and market.
In considering the tax problem this
should be kept in mind. The idea
that certain industries can move into
a few states to escape local taxation
will certainly not work nor will this
tendency last long. The factories
and mills have to stay close to their
market in order to survive.

Is SOCIALISM DEAD!
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
Ideas are ruling the world" not
parties. Upon the crest of the waves
Of progress are riding the Socialistic
principles of more equalization.
Practically speaking, Socialism has
been progressing ever since it started.
1t has lost fight here and there, but
the movement cannot be killed; it is
not dead and does not belong to the
past. 1t is more alive than it ever
was before and becomes attractive to
almost any party. Its enemy has
lost many feather of old fashioned
cruelty. Today the world looks better
than it did in the past.
Even those who declare themselves
against the principles of more eQualz-
alton, are trying to get more equali-
ty in every way.
Take Socialism out of President
Roosevelt, Governor Benson, the La
Toilette brothers and there will be
not much left worth while mention
ing. 1t is just that, which raises the
admiration for them so high.
If President Roosevelt was not more
than Democrat, the La Follettes not
more than Republicans, Benson not
more than FarmerLaborite they all
could then join any reactionary move
ment and prove to be good realistic,
practical members of such a party.
Within every party there is So

$50 Too High Wage?

According to Henry c.. Teigan, con-
gresham from Minnesota, an inter-
esting angle was brought out re-
Gently as to what American CAPT.
talists think should be a fair wage
Mr.. Teigan states that during an in
vestigation conducted by the Joint
Labor Committees of the House and
Senate some unusual conditions in
industry were revealed AT one point
during the investigation, John E.
Edgerton, former president of the
National Manufacturers Association
and now president of the Southern
States Industrial Council at Nash
vile, Tennessee, took the position
that Sill per week was sufficient wage
and that he opposed a SIG minimum.
Edgerton, according to his biogra-
ply is reputed to be a lover of peace
and is director of such organiza-
tons as National Golden Rule So
ciety'' and the international Save
the Child Society,"" We do not know
how he can reconcile all of his var
ious activities and his conscience with
SQCll oil loSd Oll WIldI SOll-
stitute a sufficient wage scale.
Possibly Mr.. Edgerton would change
his mind about the matter if his
daughter Gf he has one) married a
man who was forced to support her
on an S11 wage. And likely as not
he would be just the type to cut her
off from the family allowance if she
dared to be so condescending as to
be interested in a lowly but hard
working wage Garner of the Sill type.
1t is the type of men such as Edger-
ton, among the wealthy, who are
forcing a change in the economic
system and they are too short-sighted
to realize it, After all, what kind of
a skull is any harder to penetrate
with good common sense in diver
sified lines than that of many "big
business" executives.

County Gets Large
United States Flag

J. S. Patrick, chairman of the Pine
county board of commissioners, ac-
cepted the flag presented by the
United States government to Pine
county in few well chosen remarks.
The raising ceremony was conducted
Monday afternoon in the Pine City
park and the flag was raised by Boy
Scouts to the top of the high steel
flag pole to the accompaniment of
Star Spangled Banner played by the
Pine City high school band.
H. V. Jorgensen had charge of the
ceremony and presented the flag to
the county in behalf of the govern
ment.

is TAX EVASION MORAL?
(Springfield Advance-PreSS)

President Roosevelt has told Con-
gress how wealthy men are evading
taxes through ingenious devices in
vented by their attorneys. j. P.
Morgan comments that taxing is a
legal question pure and simple, not
moral one. Anyone has a right
to do anything as long as the law
does not say it is wrong"
Morgan, of course, does not refer
to evasion of taxes lawfully imposed,
classifying returns or concealing facts
required to be given. He means that
it is not immoral to take advantage
of means not prohibited in order
to save on taxes. If it is lawful,
then it is moral, is his way of look
ing at it.
Perhaps Morgan is right. Who
shall sit in judgment? But it is the
duty of the government to plug the
loopholes as fast as they appear and
that is what President Roosevelt pro-
poses to do. If these evasions are
made unlawful, then Mr.. Morgan
will have to stop defending them.
1t is only natural that people or
ganize their affairs so as to keep
their taxes down. Everybody does it,
or nearly everybody. There may
be a few highly moral people whose
consciences do not permit them to
evade a tax, even if lawful means
are open to them. But they are
very few.

These revolutions every party is

SAYS POVERTY CAN BE
ABOLISHED
(Mille Laos County Times)

(Mllle Laos county I1meS)
Abolition of poverty within 20
years was visioned by Harry L. Hop
kins, WPA administrator, in a speech
before Teachers college, New York
city.
Tossing aside a prepared address
on the educational activities of the
WPA, the dynamic relief chieftan
plunged into a characteristic talk on
the rights of the unemployed to a
decent living, saying:
eve are now living under new
philosophy of government, philoso-
ply that says that every American
has a right to eat. That philosophy
created during the emergency, will
be the philosophy of America from
now on, and nothing is going to
stop it,
Declaring that the Federal budget
could be balanced only "out of the
hides of the working people" Hop
kins insisted that "when any one
cannot share in the national income
by receiving wages, clipping coupons
or collecting rent, he has a right to
share in it through some other bene-
fits" adding:
''The present economic system can
produce enough to provide decent
living for all and to abolish poverty.
Until this is done, no one can claim
that the United States is a democ-
racy"

A Depression Cure

Under the above heading The
Blooming Prairie Times printed gooc
editorial last week which comment:
on road building as national pro-
ject during a depression. True
enough President Roosevelt tried ar
experiment four years ago when he
inaugurated the federal work pro-
gram and any comment now doe:
not necessarily mean that his effort:
are criticized. However. we can see
now that money could have beer
better spent than much of which went
into small airports which were never
finished and many other projects
which were not of a lasting nature
We are building roads every day
and the federal government is con-
tributing to each states share. there
fore the content of one paragraph Of
The Blooming Prairie Times editorial
is worthy of wide reading; it follows
We believe that all of the idle
labor the past five years could
have been employed on the task
of building good roads. If this
had been done, when the de-
preston came to an end we
would have had a complete sys-
tenn of good roads, utility that
would have been useful for all
time. The advantage of such
program would have been that
work could have been going on
simultaneously all over the coun-
try and all classes of people
could have been employed The
machinery was already set up
in every county and state to build
roads, and the expensive over
head of the present type of pro-
gram would not have been nee
essary. Such program would
have been limitless. A system
of concrete trunk highways could
have been built across the coun-
try and feeder lines from all
main centers as well as farm
to market roads. Such a pro-
gram would have cost less and
produced better results and a
better reaction on the workers
themselves than did many of the
things that were done. Many of
these were made work and of
little or no permanent value .
The program could be enlarged
when depression and lack of en-
ployment came, and restricted
when business conditions made
demand for the labor. 1t has the
advantage of being elastic, COM
prehenSive, economical, in that
it would not require an expensive
overhead organization.

FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION

Editor Askov American:
The proposed House Income Tax
bill would be of benefit to 800 per
cent of the population of Pine county
compared with the tax proposed by
our conservative Senators. The House
proposal to eliminate the state tax
levy on homestead property up to
"a $4,000 valuation is another for
ward piece of legislation that the
Senators should pass. When run
ming for office these men talked to
the people of this state about high
real estate taxes and they should
now avail themselves Of an oppor-
oWnerS.
The newspaper comment concern
ing the high income tax on industry is
amusing and ridiculous. There is not
an industry in Pine county, not bust
ness institution that would not bene-
fit more under the House tax pro-
gram: at least I am not familiar with
a corporation in this county with an
income of over $4,000 annually
Corporations under this amount in
yearly profits would benefit under
the House bill, and those over this
amount will benefit under the pro-
posed Senate plan.
1 wish to commend our Senator
&c. Elmer Johnson, for his staying
fast for a tax program to benefit the
farmers, homeowners, consumers and
independent merchants in Pine and
ChiSago counties
