When Ignorance Is Bliss
When a housewife Of any one OF
a number of states walks into a
grocery store to buy food for her
family, she is obligated to pay a d.
rect state sales tax on virtually
everything she purchases. The tax
ranges generally from a penny up
ward, depending on the size of the
purchase. AS result of this form
of taxation, the people OF those
states are, to some extent at least,
tax conscious.
Saturday afternoons when Mrs.
Consumer is stocking up on gro
ceries for the week ahead, one may
often observe her haggling with a
weary clerk over an error of a pal
try penny in the sales tax. She Is
paying a direct tax, knows 1t, and
resents it because it forces her to
be oblivious to the fact that the
sales tax represents only a small
fraction of the total tax which she

price of bread, S.14 per cent of the
price of beef, and 1873 per cent OF
the price of sugar. Mrs. Consumer
does not realize this unpleasant
fact. Likewise, she probably does
not realize that, If her husband Is

Government Fallacies

During recent years we have been told that we
could spend our way to prosperity-however, we find
that it is good way bankruptcy instead. We can
not lift ourselves out of depression by our boot
straps, and continued huge spending, we find, has
brought us face to face with business recession,
which considered grave enough to call for the re-
movaI of tax njustices and encouragement for the
investment of private capital to stimulate employ
ment.
Men, who know business have watched the new
economic theory with fear and trembling, for they
believed that the time to pay would come sooner or
later. States have suffered through matching Fed
eral funds, and the people Of all walks OF life must
pay through double taxation, both state and federal
Private business and capital were painted in like
ness of huge octopus, whose tentaces were wound
around suffering humanity. Yet business suffered
alike with all others in the depression Tax injustices
and tariff removal have forced American business to
suffer loss of trade through foreign made merchan
disc, against which, under standard of living,
competition is impossible This also pertains to farm
products.
President Roosevelt has found the present sit
uaton critical and he has asked for the cooperation
of all citizens to check marked recession of indus
trial production. This also will be of the PROB
lens of the Congress, now in session.
