On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Roger Babson, the emminent
economist, in his business out
look for 1888, paints a glowing
picture of the revival of bust
ness and a high upward trend
before the end of the year. He
holds out little hope for the
first quarter of the year and
thinks that this quarter will be
worse than the opening of 1887
which was not so hot. Bah
sons predictions are recognized
as "tops" the world over.

EIyites Receive Blanks
to File Computation of
Neu State Income I ak
165, 900 Minnesotans Report
on Earning Capacity
During 1887.
$4,000 NEW RETURNS
Persons Who Earned More
Than $1,000 Urged to
Figure Tax.

Blanks were received in Ely early in
the week upon which you are supposed
to make your state income returns.
Blanks have been sent out 20 about
10000 Minnesota residents who are
thus informed of the price the state
is setting on their earning capacity.
They are the persons who earned
more than $1,000 during 1887 and who
during 1888 will be expected to con-
tribute their proportionate share of the
anticipated $12,000,0O0 revenue the state
wants to derive through income taxes.
Approximately $4,000 of them will be
persons who never before have paid a
state income tax. Their contributions
to the state treasury will range from a
few cents to Sizeable sums The other
$4,000 who already are on the state
income tax rolls will pay considerably
larger taxes than they have in the past.
The reason for all this is the re-
vision of the state income tax law by
the 1887 legislature at the demand OF
Governor Benson for sharp increases in
this form of levy. The legislature did
not go all the way on the governors
proposals, or the tax on many incomes,
particularly in the middle and upper
brackets, would be much sitter than
they are.
AS set forth by w. G. Burkman, di-
rector Of the state income tax depart
ment, every person who earned more
than $1,000 during 1887 had better OBJ
tain a tax blank and make his COM
putation before he decides whether to
file return or just skip it. Intentional
failure to file a return or filing a false
one with intent to defraud the state
makes prospective taxpayer subject 10
Imprisonment up to seven years, a 81 900
fine or both.
A Few Tips
To prospective taxpayers who are in
doubt over their status under the fol-
lowing suggestions:
If your total earnings between jan
uary l and December 81, 1887 were
under $1,000 you need not bother about
the income tax.
If your earnings during this same
period were more than $1,000, but de-
auctions allowed under the law bring
your net income under 81 200, you need
not file return. Nevertheless, for your
own protection, it will be advisable to
obtain a state income tax blank and
make certain you are complying with
the law in not filing a return. Whether
you are subject to the tax or not, you
must file return if your income was
$4,000.
The new law levies a graduated scale
Of rates on what is described as "tax-
able net income" BY this is meant
that which is left after all allowable
items are deducted from your total
earnings. The rates start at per &c ut
on the first 81 900 of taxable net income
2 per cent on the second $1,000, 8 per
cent on the third, per cent on the
fourth, 5 per cent on the fifth, per
cent on the sixth and seventh, z per
cent on the eighth and ninth, per cent
on each $1,000 between $4,000 and
$12,500, per cent on each $1,000 be-
tween $12,500 and $4,000 and 10 per
cent on all over that figure.
Computing the Tax

How Will History Regard
Policies of Wallace?

So, when we see Mr.. Wallace's
own policies doing q contradictory
loop-the-loop; when we find him try
ing to promote foreign trade by kill
ing the goose that laid the golden
egg, and when we find him turning
to the development-or, considera-
ton, at least,-of scheme to Gre
ate class feelings within our own
population, wonder what the end
will be. To repeat, I cannot help
wondering how history will regard
him and the policies he is now seek
ing to carry through.
Mr.. Wallace made speech to a
group of Washington women the 9TH
er day, in which he said that the
Democrats were now paying off the
debt to the population which the
Republicans had created. The farm
benefits that are being paid out I'M
der the New Deal were held to be
liquidation of obligations which the
Republicans caused to be estab-
ished by their administrative fail
ureS.
The Republicans were in power
for IL years preceding the New
Deal. ! had the privilege of watch
ing them ball up the farm problem.
They played politics with it, too. I
think that probably about the only
difference in the situation, by and
large, is that the Republicans spent
only about is per cent as much out
of the treasury as Mr.. Wallace has
done and they did not try as many
assinine schemes.

Though. the Munich agreement
was aimed to preserve Europe's
peace, its immediate result has been
feverish rearmament. Great Brit
ain has made plans for CONSUMPTION
and new airplane factories; France
has appropriated 1920, 900, 900 francs
for military spending and 1877 ,000, 600
more for her navy; Germany is
rushing fertilization of her Belgian
frontier; Italy speeds barriers in the
Alps.
Few Americans have hoped that
the U. S. can avoid similar prepara-
tons. Loudest persuasion of all has
come from Britain's Winston
Churchill, whose short wave broad
cast urged the U. S. to take COM
manding lead against dictators, to
join Britain in stopping "isms" be-
fore it is too late. Added impetus
has come from current U. S. espion-
age investigations (see DOMESTIC).

this instance, and he said in New
York speech:
I'm many minds, export subsidies
offer plausible solution; but such a
method is as unsound at bottom as
it is plausible on its face. Practi-
cal experiences in numerous coun-
tries have shown that this method
creates more problems than it
solves. Export subsidies are pow
erless to move exports in the face
of foreign quota restrictions, IL
censes, etc."
And so forth. Now Mr.. Wallace
said that quotas, licenses and that
sort of thing had forced the export
subsidies, but apparently the depart
ment of state thinks it is the other
way round. Mr.. Sayre, of course,
was supporting the reciprocal trade
agreement program that is fostered
by Secretary Hull, and whether you
believe in that idea or not, you can
hardly dodge the fact that trade
treaties at least seek to put stop
to the building of more trade re-
strictions. Mr.. Wallace's export SUBJ
sides invite new action against our
shipments. Department of state
plans consider the world market and
hope for American entry into them;
Mr.. Wallace apparently is willing to
destroy them by using up our re-
sources to undersell the others, thus
giving foreigners the benefit of low
prices which consumers of America
cannot have.

The U. S. has long maintained
splendid trade relations with West
ern hemisphere nations, has more
over done this without resorting to
heavy ornaments. Until five years
ago the U. S. was similarly strong
in China. Reason: European and
Asiatic nations have always been
busy at home, not daring to risk in
vasion of the Western hemisphere.
But since Japan became supreme
in the Far East, the U. S. has been
forced to expand her Pacific fleet.
If this was cause for worry, much
greater cause is the Munich pact

Buying Surplus Products
To Care for Destitute

Again, assuming that it Is neces-
sary to care for the destitute
nobody can deny that either the
states or the federal government
must do so-why is it necessary to
further complicate the present prob
lem of feeding the poor by this half
baked scheme? The surplus COM
modify corporation has been buy
ing SURPRISES from the open mar
ket. The purpose was to take off
price depressing influence. It was
designed to make price for the
farmer somewhat higher than would
have obtained, whether it has ac-
complished that end or not. In any
event, the surplus products that
were used to feed the poor were Civ
en- to them and that action has had
very little effect upon the stability
of prices.
But Mr.. Wallace is not satisfied
with that arrangement. Why? Well,
apparently, he is getting afraid of
the huge piles of government-owned
products, acquired because of the
fuzzy character of his earlier prom
Uses to make agriculture safe for
democracy, or the New Deal, or
something.
Mr.. Wallace's experts have just
concluded a survey which leads to
the conclusion that if everyone in
the United States had an adequate
diet" this country would consume
all that is produced on farms an
nually, and in addition would re-
quire the production of two addition
al states of the size of Iowa. We
must assume that their findings are
correct, but questions will occur to
everyone about them. First, what
is an adequate diet? People have
different ideas about that, especially
the fat man or the fat woman who
wants to hold the belt line within
reason. But the more important
question is: if there is that addi-
tional production needed to insure
an adequate diet, why does Mr.. Wal
lace still cling to crop control, to a
scheme for cutting down produc-
ton? The two systems do not rhyme
in my humble mind.

Growing louder, this voice finally
reached White House ears, coinci-
dentally bringing comment from
Capitalist Bernard Baruch who
chairmaned the war industries
board in 1917.
Emerging from a White House
conference, Mr.. Baruch started OBJ
servers thinking by warning that U.
S. defenses were inadequate. Though
most Americans regard 'defensep
as successful repulsion of a North
American invasion, a broader con-.
ception calls for protection Of the
entire Western hemisphere. Mr..
Baruch's defense program includes:
~ Immediate construction of
''two ocean navy; (2) increased
air power; (3) better equipment for
400, 1000 regular soldiers and the ma
tional guard; (4) subsidies to pro-
tect U. S. trade interests in South
America; (5) industrial and militia
ry mobilization law; t6) special
tax to pay for these expenses.
Though it lacks official confrma-
ton, President Roosevelt plainly IA
vors the Baruch program. The sug-
gested tax boost comes dangerously
near election time, but adninistra-
ton leaders minimize this political
hazard because: ~ most Ameri-
cans regard democracy's security
as more important than financial
security or political partisanship;
(2) a speeded-up military and naval
program, financed by special tax,
would decrease relief rolls and pos
sibly, create what Germany has
been facing, an actual shortage of
labor. Thus WPA and PWA costs
could be slashed and the budget
balanced. SO
War
Japan's invasion of South. China
has three purposes; az to force
withdrawal Of Cantonese troops
from the Hankow battle front; (2)
to capture Canton or force that
province into an Independent peace;
l(3)f to, cut the Hankow-Canton rail-
road over which war supplies have
travelled TO sorely' troubled Chinese
troeps.e But since China has already
established four other communica-
ton lines between the outer world
and her army, the South China in
vasion becomes less important to
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek.
Far more important is the fact
that Japan has labeled herself the
No. l Far East power, invading
Great Britain's South China inter-
ests and Ddefying the British lion to
do anything about it. Canton lies
scant rs miles from the crown col
ony Of Hongkong, whose rail con-
nection with Canton has already
been broken. Since Hongkong's
prosperity depends largely on trade
with Canton, the British have rea-
son to worry.
Closer home, u. S. officials are
also worried because most Ameri-
can-C Chinese trade is now routed
through. Hongkong. Though U. s.
trade with Hongkong has jumped
from $500, 600 to SIS, 000. 900 this
year, largely because of the Canton
gateway, total exports to China have
droppedafrom So. 000, 900 to $26, 0OO,-
000,. The American Philippines are
also suffering, since Philippine-Can
tom trade, has been heavy. More
over, the u. S. will be. unable to
re-point much of its Chinese trade
through the new. gateways, two of
them through Indo-C China, one
through Burma and fourth through
Russia.
