After while the truth may dawn

striking to bring prices down, heads
toward an economic breakdown in

Taxes. when thought out in
things and results. mean an alb
straetion of a part of the annual
product for government purposes,
and cannot mean anything else.
Whatever form they take in their
imposition they must be borne by
the consumer, that is, mainly by the
working-m and fighting men of
the community. 1t is well that they
should have this fact brought home
to thep, and not too much disguised
by the form in which the taxes
are imposed
Thus wrote the late and great
liberal Supreme Court Justice. Oil
yer Wendell Holmes In these days
when there is so much concern about
rising prices and talk about monopo-
lies and profits and whatnot, it is
well to remember the economic fact
which he simply stated
For about seven years now, the
federal government has been Dor
rowing money The only way it can
raise money to pay back what il
borrowed is through taxes And as
Justice Holmes said. it makes no
difference whether your tax is lev
led in disguised form, it still must
be paid by the consumer
II the tax is levied directly, ii
becomes a direct payment to the
government. II it is levied indi-
rectly, it becomes part of the price
of what the consumer buys No
matter how you storm and ram
about it, the facts are still the
same-government debts are paid
by taxes, and taxes are paid by the
sweat of every mans brow.

ASK SUSPENSION Of

Gel With stopping-in
Transit Rights

An application for the suspension
Of new tariffs on farm seeds, filed by
railroads to become effective Jan. l,
has been entered with the interstate
commerce commission by the North
Dakota railroad board.
]. G. Winter, board rate expert,
said the proposed tariffs would cancel
provisions which permit stopping -in-
transit to partly unload carload ship
ments.
Shippers Of clover and alfalfa seed
In eastern North Dakota would be
forced to pay freight rates from 80
to 500 carload higher because Of
the inability of the farm seed markets
to handle carload shipments, Winter
said.
Under present tariffs, shippers may
make up q carload for more than one
consignee and take advantage Of the
reduced rates. Inbound shipments Of
sundan corn and cane and sorghum
seed also would be forced to bear the
extra freight charges on less-than-
carload lots, Winter said.
