MORE FOR TAXES THAN FOR FOOD

After two-year study of the tax situation, the
Twentieth Century Fund reports that Americans
are spending more on taxes than on food. The re-
suits, says the Manchester Union, show that the
American people are paying in taxes each year
$12 500 900 O0O the largest tax bill in history Of
this amount S. 500, 100000 goes to the federal gov
eminent, 81, 500 100000 to the local government,
and 81, 500, 100000 to the state governments.
The total is larger than the nations food BILL
estimated at 1l,5OO,OOO,OOC a year; its rent bill
which is set at s1OOOO,0OO,0OO a year, and its
clothing bill which is approximately $4,000, 900
year.
"Worse yet, this huge sum which last year rep
resented approximately 20 per cent of the national
income, does not cover all government expendi-
lures. The federal government borrowed and add
ed to its debt amount equal to about so per cent
of its tax revenue, and many of the states and
municipalities also increased their Indebtedness
And who, in the last analysis, pays these tax
bills? Taxes are paid in the sweat of labor Frank
lin Deano Roosevelt said that. He said the truth.
So these great tax bills being and will be, paid
in the sweat OF the brow. Labor does more sweat
ing to pay taxes than to buy food-and the Roose-
welt administration has imposed taxes foodstufs!
Oh! if the man behind the pillow in the July sun
only understood that he is sweating to pay taxes
to keep thousands of politicians in aforementioned
offices, sweating to pay these taxes when his family
is on short rations.-Charleston News and Courier.

The president is proficient in observing which
way the winds blow. .....
And the winds have been strongly blowing
against him and his policies in respect to the law
less and anarchiStc conduct of the Lewis brigadeS
1t was only little while ago that Mr.. Roosevelt
was silent in all the languages in the presence OF
these forces of disorder and destruction.
He was at least giving aid and comfort to the
Lewis legions by Withholding his rebukes.
The common Interpretation at the time was that
the president was sympathetic, not with the disor-
ders, Of course, but with the ends for which the
strikers were striving.
Lewis handcuffed the automobile industry with
sit-down strikes and Mr.. Roosevelt kept his silence
Lewis and his men seged steel plants and Mr.
Roosevelt said nothing.
Lewis and his union leaders blocked the mails
of the United States government from carrying
food into these surrounded steel plants to the loyal
workmen, and the administration said there was
nothing they could do about it.
Lewis and hot-headed unionists under his wing
shot and mutiated and slugged and dynamted and
the White House held its speech
But all of this has changed
Miss Perkins, secretary of labor and the pres
ident's spokesman in this field did not know few
weeks ago whether the st-down strikes were illegal
or not, and, manifesty, saw little if anything in
the offensive weapons of the Lewis strikes to
denim.
But now Miss Perkins, who continues to speak
the presidents mind in such matters, condemns
the sit-down strike as un-American.
Clearly the Lewis bandwagon has lost its most
distinguished occupants.-Charlotte Observer.
