4TH DIVISION
 REPUBLICANS
 GETTING BUSY

Warming up for the approach ing Territorial primaries and cleo tions, the Fourth Division Repub- lican Club held a lively meeting at Moose Hall in Fairbanks, says the News Miner. A platform was adopted and is endorsed by all the Republican candidates of the divi- sion. All the candidates with the exception of one and some 30 other persons were present.
 The outline of a six-plank plat form, submitted by a special com mittee, was discussed by the can didates and others, and after minor changes was accepted unanimously The platform as adopted reads:
 Platform
 1. We advocate a graduated net tax on profits exceeding $1 ,000 de- rived from operations in all mines in Alaska--the tax rate to be de- termined by the needs of the Ter ritory.
 Copper, tin, and all other miner als. except gold and platinum. are now subject to such a tax. At pres ent gold and platinum are taxed at three per cent of the gross out put, which rate is unjust and un- | fair to small operators opening up new mines or working marginal ground, low grades ores and con- centrates.
 2. We will support adequate ap- propriations for airfields, and roads in producing areas, and an ade- quate appropriation for the Uni versity of Alaska.
 3. We demand protection for AL askan fisheries and immediate con- struction of an International High way.
 4 We favor supplying every re- cording precinct with fireproof vaults for safekeeping of public records.
 5 We oppose continued existence of tolls on Richardson Highway. ] 6. We pledge ourselves to con- duct the affairs of the Territory

PRIVATELY AND MUNICIPALITY OWNED
UTILITIES

A total of 102 new industrial plants were estab-
lished during 1887 in cities and towns of Piedmont
Caronas that are served directly by the Duke
Power company. .-.-
One of the most striking features of the indus
trial growth of Piedmont Carolinas during 1887 is
the diversity among new enterprises. Hosiery leads
with % entirely new plants and 10 additions to
existing concerns, total of so plants.
A total of Al new hosiery plants We're started in
the South during 1887, this being approximately
onehalf of the total established in the entire coun-
try during that period. Twenty-one were In North
Carolina, the leading state, 20 of them IN territory
served by the Duke Power company.
With the excellent service of the Duke Power
company and with labor troubles in theaNorth it is
reasonable to suppose that the hosiery industry OF
the nation will be rapidly shifted to North and
South Carolina. .
A news dispatch from Washington carries the
information that survey by the Federal Power
commission reveals that municipality operated utlll-
ties of the Carolinas are charging substantially
more for electric service, with one partial excep-
ton, than privately owned companies are charging.
This news story, as published in most. OF the news
papers of North Carolina, has created quite PIT
of comment, many people apparently having held
impressions contrary to the facts. ms notWl1h-
standing the fact that the utilities in spite of lower
rates, are paying taxes amounting to well up to-
ward 90 cents out of each dollar of gross revenue
they receive which of course makes the difference
between rates of private companies and those OF
municipality owned plants all the greater and more
striking-Marshville Home.

FORMER PRICE DICTATOR WARNS

Carl F. Goerdeler, former commissioner for price
control in Germany, warns against prices fixed by
government fiat, saying that experience has proved
them ineffective. He speaks strongly against the
dangerous tendency to shift to the government
functions which private business can carry out
more efficiently
DR.. Goerdeler's article is in Foreign Affairs. He
draws copiously from his own experience IN telling
Americans that price control will not be their sal
walton. He comes forward at time when wash
inpton is going forward with schemes for regulat-
ing production and meddling with prices.
What the United States vitality needs is not price
control, but tightening of the tax load. Business
and industry in this country are hampered by the
taxes they are compelled to pay. They are hndered
by bureaucratic doctrines which serve mainly to
keep an army of bureaucrats on the federal pay
rolls. The crying need is for control of rampant
bureaucracy -Charleston News and Courier.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SAVING A BILLION

Senator Bailey is to be commended in his posi-
ton that it is the duty of the congress to SLASH
federal expenditures to the mammoth extent OF a
billion dollars year.
Along with Senator Byrd of Virginia the North
Carolina senator has remained consistent and un'
relenting advocate of federal economies.
1t is unfortunate that they seem tc be getting
nowhere with their views, patriotic and inteIi-
gent as they must be generally conceived to be!
President Roosevelt was in line with Senator
Bailey's economy program little while ago when
ne was moving gradually toward a speedy baianc-
ing of the budget.
That was the explanation of the presidents ell
fort to cut down the highway appropriations OF
congress to the states. but, baked in this move
Mr.. Roosevelt seems now to have abandoned al
ideas of possible economy and to be content to let
the budget become even more disarranged by con-
tinued spendngs at the old high level and even py
increased appropriations in some cases.
A billion dollars of less spending by the tederal
government would, of course, mean billion dollars
less of taxes to be paid By those who do the pay
ing of federal tariffs that is granted that no more
is involved than operating expenses.
Of course, if billion dollars less should be spent
and the present leves remain as they are, the ted
eral treasury could take the present revenues and
rduc the national debt to the extent of billion
But Senator Bailey's idea is to save billion IN
expenditures in order to save billion in taxes, ar
guing, and arguing wisely, that by means of such
an economy American business could move out
into new activity with greater freedom of action
and faith in the future and with vastly greater
amount of capital in hand to apply as a weapon
against the onsaughts of the present period of the
recession.
It would be short-sighted to see in the senator's
suggestion OSler than far-sghted and statesmany
approach to the present business problem of
America.
IN the same proportion American business
must bleed itself white to support the federal gov
eminent, in like proportion must this same AmerI-
can business Withdraw its capital from wages and
production of goods
Nobody has as yet evolved a process by which
ANYBODY in America can have their cake and eat It,
billion dollars saved in taxes and thus made
available to be spent to develop new business, and
thus again to increase employment, and thus yet
again. to break the shackles of the recession would
be the most public-sprited economy of which it is
possible to conceive.
It's regrettabe that it is difficult to get this
simple economic philosophy across-even in Wash
ington.>
And that it is so easy to arrive there with the
opposite economic school of thought that the more
the government spends, the greater the prosperity
of the people.
That is the equivalent of arguing that the more
you consume, the more you will have left
And this has never made sense!--Charlotte OBJ

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHING TON.~-Thc last
" ragged remnant of the New
leal's effort to exert some de-
rec Of control over the business
ituation through taxation will be
destroyed when and il Chairman
Pat Harrison of the Senate FL
lance Committee succeeds III hav-
ng the corporation undistributed
Profits tax completely repealed.
All that's left is the COILS" pro-
iision in the tax bill passed by the
House. This imposes a tax of 20
Der cent on the profits Of corpora
ions earning net income of more
han $4,000 a year, with credit
II four per cent against that tax
:or each dollar paid out in divi-
lends.
Roughly, this is the way it
works out:
a corporation with a net income
Of 100000 pays a $4,000 tax if
II does not distribute any Of its
earnings. But if it distributed all
It's earnings, the tax would be only
$4,000. Distribution of so per
cent as dividends would mean a
tax Of $4,000.
Prior to the revenue act of
1896, which carried a rate of
32.4 per cent on corporations re-
tanning their earnings, dividends
paid by corporations were subject
to SurtaX on the stockholders in
come tax return but not to the
four per cent normal tax.
Today the Individual pays both
normal rate and surtax on divi-
dends. Instead of the stakeholder
being credited in the attempt to
avoid double taxation" it is the
corporation paying the dividend
which Would get the break under
"2O-l6." ~ ~

as they reasonably can. It's adj
vocates consider it persuasive
device rather than A bludgcon.
They fear that il there's a fial
CORPORATION rate, as Harrison pro
poses, a great number OF corpora
tons would decide to accumulate
surplus in abnormal proportions
first. because Of the great amount
of dividends paid out last year
under the old surplus profits tax
and, second, because c. fear or an
other surplus profits tax in the
future. Such a strong tendency to
keep money in the corporate sock
would have a strong dehatlonary
effect and reduce potential pur-
chasing power.
And il is stiA argued that COZ"
porations which retain profits in
stead Of distributing Eaem have
an unfair advantage over those
which pay out profits in dividends.
Opposition to "G0-l6" comes
chiefly from corporations which
want to accumulate surplus rather
| than pay dividends and from those
who fear that any retention of the
undistributed profits tax principle
may make it easier for a Subse-
quent Congress 10 enlarge upon
that principle again in future tax
legislation.
Speaking OF the House Ways
and Means Committee tax bill
hearings, conservative Chairman
Robert Doughton recently said:

edge of the effect of the proposals
