What Other
Editors Say
OVER TEN PER CENT
FOR TAXES

OF every dollar spent by the av-
erage citizen, IL to 13 cents is paid
to government for taxes
And of every dollar expended for
retail merchandise, 1856 cents goes
for taxes.
Social security taxes, because they
are in a sense deposits for future
Withdrawals, were not included in
the surveys which disclosed the
above facts.
The worker with an income of
S15O month pays $1910 per
month in taxes, or 1877 per cent
of his income. This is based on
an average expense of S43.50 for
food, $50 for shelter, SIC for cloth
ing, s11 for fuel and light, $14.50
used car expense, SO for recreation
S. for insurance and S27 for SUM-
dries and miscellaneous expense.
If he has a new car instead of
a used one, his car expense is in
creased Sc month at least. This
does not include repairs.
If he buys a loaf of bread, the
tax content in prices of individuals
products and services, is ga per
cent. If he buys suit of clothes,
the tax content is 10.49 per cent;
a pair of shoes, 8.5 per cent. If he
rents a house, the tax content of
the monthly rental is Is per cent.
This doesn't sound like a great
deal but the total governmental
tax collections state and
local-amonnted to approximately
s12,872 100000 in the past fiscal
year, which is quite staggering
figure.
Federal, state and local income
taxes amounted to S2629, 900, 900;
general property taxes, s4,718,0O0,-
900; taxes on motorists, 81 ,349, ,000.-
600; taxes on motorists S1,349, ,000,-
900.
In other words, 204 per cent was
income tax, 36.7 per cent was a
general property tax and los was
in taxes on motorists. The balance
was in estate, gift and inheritance
taxes, customs duties, tobacco and
liquor taxes, business licenses, sales
tax, social security taxes, and vari-
GUS others.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
Appraisal of WPA's Venture in the Arts

cedent to every business man and
every lawyer. Every business Is
continually adjusting disputes in
volving property rights with Gus
toners 1t may be argued that
every railroad Or steamship ticket/
you buy is contract. The casualty
companies in the Missouri case
maintain that 100000 non-lawyers
are engaged in practices of which
the Missouri lawyers complain.
Much criticism was heard in
Cleveland recently when the paint
erS' union actually was found to be
issuing permits" allowing private
citizens to paint their own houses.
The painters argued that they had
right to try to stop the taking
away from union painters of work
to which they were entitled.
1t is hard for a layman to see
why the Missouri lawyers are not
doing exactly the same thing, that
is, demanding the right to do work
which the private parties concerned
were perfectly willing and able to
do to their own satisfaction.
The decision in this case, expect
ed in September, should be watched
with equal anxiety by all American
business men and lawyers alike.

The Weather Becomes an Argument
Air Cooled Congress Beefs The
NatiUes Only SUelter :.

WASHINGTON-Now that the court plan Is
no longer bitter partisan issue, the natse
Washingtonian may be permitted to speak ms
piece about the perils of the summer neat 10
members of Congress" The weather has been
used as large argument in favor OF prompt
adjournment
There are $4,000 residents here in addition
to the 531 members of Congress. The natives
have no vote and all they do is beef Most OF
them regard the Capitol Hill gentry as members
of the elect who are paid $4,000 a year 10 slt
in ar-cooled chambers and listen to other men,
bers talk while the natives, poor simple creatures,
bear the brunt of the heat. But it is cool Con-
gress that does the moaning.
Old Doc Copeland the senator and former
Tammany health commissioner from New York,
gave grave public warnings about the danger
of staying on the job just as the 6250OO must do
at time after Joe Roonsons death when such
talk was good propaganda for the anti-court
plan groups
The Doc went around in the cloakrooms,
buttonhoing senators and beginning his dire
warnings invariably with: Il told Joe Robin
son three days before his death
All this helped encompass the merciess death
of the court plan, but it soured the District of
Columbians, who dwell in constant state of
sourness at Congress anyway.
Lately Congress has been trying to decide
between an income tax on the District citizenry
which would be additional to the federal in
come tax paid by all federal employees and
others except Supreme Court and other justices
and a real estate tax which past experience
indicates would be used by landlords to pyramid
rents
The House refused to accept the income tax
because it couldn't do so without taxing itself.
The city is resigned to being taxed but mean
while complains at the dilatory Indifferent way
in which Congress legislates the city's municipal
problems, since the local government is about
to go broke
A few years ago the government paid half
the citys expenses. This year Congress voted
to contribute only five millions to a s46,00O000
budget.
So natives hate those many congressman
who argue that all employees here Except their
own appointees) are parasites on taxpayers
back home.
Restaurants detest the congressional breed
because Yankee congressman complain the beans
here are inferior to Bostons-which they are
southern congressman say tney can't get pot
lkker as good in Tuscumbia, Ala.-whch they
can't; western congressman squawk because por-
tions aren't as large at Joe'S place in Painted
Leg, Mont-which they aren't and far western
congressman deplore the fact tnat the grape
fruit are smaller than in San Diego-whch they
are.
But in spite of all this, Washington would
rather have Congress stay around. The Capitol
Hill payroll runs around million dollars
month.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4-Jay N.
Darling. known to the world OF
cartooning as Ding, is the only
member of his craft to make good
in New York. find it distasteful
and hike back to the hills. He be-
gan his career on the Des Moines
Tribune to which he returned a
number of years ago.
Ding, like Webster and Tad, suf-
fered an affliction in his right
arm that forced him to learn to
draw with his left. There was a
time when he drew an hilarious
comic strip which was he talk of the
syndication field. He has highly
developed sense of broad humor.
But he had a colossal aversion
to the pow" school of limning. He
is the son of a preacher and a bit
of preaching appealed to him-the
sort of preaching that a front page
cartoon can do. He is one of the
caroonists to express independence
of thought.
He will attend editorial confer
ences and listen to suggestions but
refuses to delineate any idea that
does not accord with his own views
political or otherwise. Big cities
depress him and he thinks Des
Moines the ideal sized place in
which to live.

Every American lawyer and prac-
tically all American business men
have a stake in case now being
considered by circuit court judges
in Columbia, Mo. Very little mas
been said about this case, yet 1t
looks like the most important de-
velopment in years in defining the
relationship between business and
law.
The case grew up somewhat In
this fashion: For years, mutual in
surance companies in Missouri tand
elsewhere) had been accustomed tc
have their adjusters and claimants
together fill in blanks in liability
releases.
LAWYERS watched the growth of
this simple, mutual, uncompllcated
relationship between business man
and client, this settling of their
affairs by mutual consent and with
out benefit of learned (and expen-
sive) legal advice.
90
Several years ago, the Bar ASso-
citation of Missouri began to COM
plain that in the filling out of such
blanks and signing of such papers,
the insurance companies were prac-
ticing law. Several conferences be-
tween bar association and insurance
company representatives failed to
decide where business left off and
law began.
In the spring of this year several
of the companies were cited for
contempt of court for engaging in
the unauthorized practice of law.
The cases are still grinding around
in the legal mills.
To avoid continual suits for con-
tempt, six large mutual casualty
companies asked the circuit court
for "declaratory judgment" de-
filming their rights. They wish to
be sure they can continue to sign
contracts, releases and settlements
with their clients without being
subjected to new suits by lawyers
