. PLANNING and Non-Planning

WASHINGTON-The New Deal administra-
ton, once widely accused of crime called
planning more recently and with more justice
has been criticized for lack Of plan or consistency
in policy.
The uncertainties are not being removed.
But five years after the 1882 election. wAat m
formed persons in Washington are calling the
enduring economic philosophy OF the New Deal,
has been bound up in book form. The book Is
why Pay TaXeS?" by Davii Cushman Coyle.
You can call Coyle New Deal major prophet.
Roughly. more than rs per cent OF the key men
in the administration who are CLOSE to the
President" agree with him on essential points.
Follows a summary of Why Pay TaXeS?'
and certain conversations with the author:
Democracy's fundamental problem, says Coyle
is to keep democracy going. When economic
power becomes concentrated in a few hands it's
democracy's business to break or control that
concentration and to encourage growth and sur
vival of small businesses 1t is also the govern
ment's duty to provide public services necessary
to keep the country in a sound condition
Taxation is the device which democracy must
use to preserve itself first by control and second
in order to finance the public services Taxation
can be used to control and adjust the economic
system. The tax system can get revenue most
simply by leaning the mfide income brackets.
Higher brackets should be taxed at still higher
rates lSays Coyle), not primarily for revenue but
to keep individuals from getting too much
money and power. The future calls Tor heavier
income, inheritance and state taxes.
Money must be kept circulating. Poor people
spend it. Rich people invest it. Unlimited mVaSt-
ment which leads to dangerous booms, must be
curbed Taxes are not a burden. but saving
of expense when public services are cheaper
than private costs for the same services
Under the present tax system in America
about rs per cent of taxes hit poor people. The
smaller a persons income, the higher proper
ton OF it is paid in taxes.
This violates the abilityto-pay theory of
taxation.
The question of budget deficit or surplus
should be made to depend on whether there's
enough money in the country, says Coyle.
Budget balancing (says Coylel really has no
relation to what the size of the budget should
be Size should be determined by the answer
to the question: rs government work being
done?'
The American people, Coyle concludes, should
pay taxes enough to keep the country in good
condition If we balance the budget and still
continue a spending program, making up the
difference with higher taxes, can employ
huge number of people on Improvement OF the
country.
Coyle believes in discouragng big business
monopoieS, but would like to see corporations
make big profits and individuals receive big in
comes so that the government will have that
much more to take away from them in taxes.

louisiana Makes d
Success of RadicaIism

You may talk all you want about
your communists and fascists and others
Of the radical ilk, but in this day of poll
tica kow-towing to the forgotten man."
the state of Louisiana and its governor
Richard W. Leche, have done the most
radical thing imaginable with the most
surprising result The New Deal, which
specializes in theory, might profit from
a study of the theory which led Louisia-
na into its own particular brand of radi-
calism-and made Louisiana what it is
becoming today. Look at the record:
In the first nine months if 1887 in
Louisiana manufacturing sales were up
21.42 per cent over the same period of
1886 and department store sales were
up 77S per cent. Wholesale grocery
receipts showed an sos per cent in
crease and postoffiee receipts through
out the state jumped 9.23 per cent. Elec-
trio power consumption increased 5.4
per cent, and telephone companies re-
ported 81 per cent more phones in SER
vice.
Incoming factories and Industrial
plants created employment for 10000
men i'm the building trades, and perma-
nent employment is resulting for $4,000
persons.
How?
Well, louisiana adopted cOnSlllu-
tional amendment in November, 1886. 1t
granted a 10-year period of tax eXemp-
ton to new industry. Following out the
same idea, Gov. Leche, who is 80 years
old. pledged that the man who meets
the payroll in Louisiana will be guaran-
teed immunity from political harrass-
ment.
If we take care Of industry, industry
will take care of Louisiana" was Gov.
Leches war cry-and the increased pay
rolls. higher business rating and greater
per capita spending power all seem to
prove him right.

replied that I would be seeing or

in a traffic jam and arrived late
for the play. When the lights
came on for the intermision, l
stood up TO let a nearby seat
holder pass. He was Tommy Mill
ard. arriving that day and on a
secret mision-so secret no one
knew of his coming.

Business Forces
Federal Recognition

In its plans for budget balancing, for
tax revision and for tightening of regu-
latory measures, the federal government
al last seems to be recognizing in some
degree the Importance of American bus
mess in American economic life. 1t
would be foolish to say that business,
through q concerted effort, forced this
recognition Yet is it true that business,
through the natural working of age-old
economic laws, did force it.
There is not enough organization or
cooperation among business men to force
an industrial recession such as that now
being experienced by the country. Busi-
ness has been forced into that recession
through too-strict regulation, by ill-ad-
Visal taxation, and by governmental
medding. But those very things, bur
denng business too heavily, have brought
about the recession which forced a
change in viewpoint. The administra-
ton itself. it appears, has forced its
own change of heart.

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the inf1amed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (AdV0

Serious thinkers have been
stroking their boards thoughtfully
of late and crying that the great
American middle class is being
squeezed almost to death by the
pressure of hard times. What they
fail to add is that the great mid
die. class has just been asking for
it by taking unto its bosom a great
many people who would be hap
pier and more prosperous else
where.
This fact was neatly touched on
recently by the publicist, William
Feather, in an article in Nations
Business.
In spite of unemployment, says
Mr.. Feather, the nation today suf-
fers from an acute shortage OF
skilled workers, and the shortage
is going to be even more acute in
| the near future. And why? Be
| cause the average ambitious high
| school lad of today has his heart
set on a dignified white collar job,
| and scorns the prospect of being
| an expert turret lathe operator a
first-class pattern maker, skilled
machinist Or anything else that re-
| quires manual labor.
It isn't the ambitious high school
lads fault We have glorified the
white collar man; as Mr. Feather
remarks, we have taught the young
chap to look forward to a career
rather than a job. He feels that it
would somehow be diSgraceful for
him to wear overalls.
The result Of all of this is that
the swollen middle class is JAM
med with people who simply can't
make a decent living in their
chosen occupations.
We have pennileSs young lawyers
who wait with desperate anxiety
for the practice that never materi-
allies: hopeful young dentists who
can find no teeth to fill; sales
men by the score and the gross
who skimp along on hand to
mouth basis, Scant jump ahead
of the sheriff; clerks who get along
on day laborerS' pay; and a whole
4 ARMY Vi luChltSS lllOIl WHO lily
| half a dozen jobs in the course

Of them and eternally driven by
the haunting fear of poverty.
Yet all the while the skilled
trades lack men, and the skilled
worker goes along happily and
comfortably on an income that
would look like very heaven to
these harassed white collar mis-
fits.
What's the answer? Mr.. Feather
suggests, simply, that we devise
uniforms to take the place of over
alls; and before you start laugh
ing, just consider the prestige
which a neat uniform gives to the
JOB it goes with.
We have an abundance of good
technical high schools to prepare
boys for the skilled trades. 1t
would be a fine thing if we could
