LIGHTING the house and running the household

This little item, less than three per cent of the

Of large amount of the effort of the Roosevelt
administration Billions of dollare are being spent
hv the Government to create hydro electric power,
ard 70 finance its distribution by municipalities,
nnon the pretext of helping the common man!
With mad and pencil it can soon be determined
that if the government provided free all of the
mower now supplied by the utility companies, the
resulting saving in average household costs would
ba less than would be brought about by small cut
~ tho cost of food And don't forget that what is
received from the government gratutously be it
mower or franked speech of a Congressman, is
paid for directly or indirectly in taxes. ,..- ...
Aeitators without anything to prove it, always
assume that there is something in electric power
which makes the supplying of it public function.
But the right to engage in the other lines of bust
ness has not yet been used as an excuse for using
public moneys to ruin private business men.
The public ownership of power is racket used
by politicians as an excuse for spending money and
by radicals for getting communism started. 1t has
no justification whatever as means of combating
the high cost of living If the new dealers really
want to reduce living costs of the average man,
they do not have to go to work on S34 item. The
opportunity is in the tax bill which the average
man pays directly to the tax collector or indirectly
to the higher cost of things he buys. The Federal
government expenditures alone this year are equal
to $3.50 per family. In addition the Federal gov
eminent is offering an inducement to every city
and state to increase its expenditures and there
fore the amount that must be collected in taxes
If the annual tax bill of the country were reduced
to where it was when Mr.. Roosevelt took office
the resulting annual saving in indirect and direct
taxes to the average American family would be six
times the cost of the annual electric bill.
The Roosevelt administration is a fellow who col
leets $3.50 for services of doubtful value, and gets
wildly excited about some other persons bill for
$341s, for services which every one requires and
ppreciates.-Chcago Tribune.

Some business firms spend more time and money

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

If you have an income of $3.50 month you pay
an average of $242 year, or thirteen and one
half cents of each dollar in indirect taxes. Such
Monies bureau of the Northwestern Life Insurance
company. Also, it was found, you pay an additional
five or six cents on each dollar in items too elusive
or too small individually to be traced down and
which Turk in the background.
Next year. the survey forecasts, you will pay
more.
Bear in mind these taxes are indirect the kind
goods and services, and about which you are hardly
conscious They do not include realty taxes, social
security, income and other taxes which CLASH
fed as direct.
There is small wonder then that the tax bill,
collected by local. state and federal governments,
is estimated to total 81, 100000 for year 1885,
and notice that the figure is in billions That rep
resents an increase close to half-bilion dollars
above 1887. ....', ....-..,.
In fairness it should be said that the survey in
dicates that the federal collections this year are
expected to. show little change in their combined
totals and thus the expansion is, accounted for
chiefly through increases in state and local taxes
Traceable and untraeeable indirect taxes thus
amount to about 10 cents on each dollar of the
income Of worker salary of $3.50 per month,
aside from the direct taxes he must pay. Thus in
the, indirect form of taxation alone that worker
must pay nearly one-ffth Of all he earns into the
Golfers of tax-collecting agencies. ~. a.
