Taxing The Little Fellow

People of small and moderate
means may think they escape taxa
tion because they pay few or no di-
rect taxes. But they are IN reality
among the heaviest taxed of all peo-
pie, on a percentage basis.
A study conducted In two typical
states. Illinois and New York, by DR..
Mabel Newcomer, Vassar economist
is of special interest. In New York
a typical wage-earner with an in
come of $4,000 pays s276 to 1884 an
naually In taxes. In Illinois, where
there is sales tax. he pays between
s279 and $3.50.
On national average. taxes take
approximately 20 per cent of in
come. This money is collected main
ly through indirect taxes. The tax
paid by the shoe manufacturer and
the retail store. is passed on to the
shoe buyer. The tax levied against
the electric company is a necessary
and substantial part of the consum-
er's bill. So II goes. with everything
we buy. luxury or necessity.
You can't beat taxation. Govern
ments can't live off the rich-there
aren't enough of them. II must rely
on those Of small means for sus-
tenance. These are facts that should
be understood by every citizen.

For example, the prerequisites for

follows:
Vocational Shops
A. Condition of equipment.
Are all hand tools in good condi-
tion?
Are all machines adequately
guarded?
Is there ample floor space be-
tween machines?
B. Inspection of equipment.
Is equipment inspected regularly?
Are all necessary repairs made
promptly?
Is there first aid kit?
C. Operating practices.
Are all students given adequate
instruction before being allowed

SOIL CONSERVATION
CHECKS ARE NOW OUT

[ContinEea rom First Page1
in Delaware, these checks, which are
in payment for cooperation by far
mers in following practices outlined
by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration to conserve and build
up soil fertility, will complete the
1886 program in this State. A few
checks remain, however, which will
be distributed as soon as various
protests are ironed out.
The checks are being distributed
to operators of about one-third of
Delaware's 10,400 farms but are in
payment for following approved
practices on approximately 49 per
cent of Delaware farmland. Accord
ing to Stelzer, the 1886 program
brought about improvements in farm
practices on 1906 acres of crop
land upon which soil conservation
practices had not previously been
used. This represented, he pointed
out, about so per cent of the crop
land in the State, and was divided
among the counties as follows: New
Castle, 1928 acres; Kent, 4,S3S
acres; Sussex, 4,945 acres. Farm land
being operated under the program in
1886 totalled 433,384 acres for the
State or 103,779 acres in New Castle
county; 120,484 acres in Kent coun-
ty, and 209,121 acres in Sussex coun-
ty.
Stelzer said that approximately
1,5O0 additional farms had been
"signed up" for the 1887 Agricul-
tural Conservation Program and
that the acreage upon which rec
commended practices will be carried
out will be materially increased this
year.
THE benefits of the Agricultural
Conservation program extend far be-
yond the immediate monetary re-
turn" Stelzer said. "The practices
recommended which must be follow
ed If payments are to be made will
build up the productivity of the soil
and will halt the constant fertility
drain which has been made during
the last few decades. Without some
sort of conservation program, Della
ware crop land was doomed to even
tual abandonment because the fer
tility would eventually be complete
ly removed but the Government
program is slowly but surely re-
building the soil in Delaware"
