There is shad at the fish mar

HIDDEN TAXES
WE ALL PAY
[ Minneapolis Trlbune)

NIhlnitdpollS IflOune)
The great extent to which the states
rely on indirect taxation to furnish their
revenue was revealed in a survey recent
ly made by the National Consumers Tax
commission. The findings of this survey
will no doubt be surprising to those who
feel that, because they pay no direct
taxes, they escape taxation entirely. The
study shows that 81 states derived more
than 80 per cent of their total incomes
from indirect levies, which are transfer
able to the consumer through increased
costs of goods and services. No state re-
ceives less than so per cent of its revenue
from indirect sources and 80 get more
than 75 per cent.
Minnesota is one of the nine states
which receives less than rs per cent of
its revenue from this source New York
has the lowest indirect levy, accounting
for 55.44 per cent of its revenue. while
South Dakota has the highest, 9253 per
cent of is funds coming from indirectly
assessed taxes. For the 1888 fiscal year,
state tax collections throughout the ma
tlon totalled more than $3,900,000, 900
according to the survey of which approx
lmately II per cent were collected by
shlTtable taxes.
While no one will contend that taxes
as they exist today are not felt it must
be admitted that taxpayers are not as
aware of the fact that they are paying
tax when it is included as part of the
purchase price of some commodity. 1t
Is this lack of awarenesS and the belief
that someone else is footing the bill which
makes the taxpayer unmindful of the in
creasing costs of government. If the tax
payer could be made to realize how large
a share Of the money he spends goes
for the support of the government per-
haps he would not be so insistent in his
demands for government services and as
sistance. Noticeable economy in govern
ment cannot of course be accomplished
unless governmental services and aids
are curtailed. Perhaps, if taxes were
more directly felt, taxpayers would be
more apt to stop and consider whether
some of the services which they now de-
mand are worth their cost in added taxa
ton.

is THIS A POINTER
HOWARD a THIRD TERM?

The correspondents and political wise
cres can do all the dissecting they want
o on President Roosevelt's seemingly
|nost innocent remarks, looking for some
hidden implication that F.D.R. will run
or third term-but if they really want
good indication. they had better watch
his actions.
In politics, as in no other place, it is
nfinitely true that actions speak louder
han words.
The Presidents words thus far have
been carefully guarded-even those he
las thrown in jest at the White House
correspondents.
But what of his actions?
He is reported using the economy pen
/ ii so freely on department budgets that
. e is liable TO trod on the toes of some
f his most trusting henchmen. This is

If actions do speak louder than words,

Ilg to do one of two things: run for a

liter 81 DAYS.
)OTHING ACCOMPLISHED

The Chrysler strike, that cost the COM
any $l20,000,0 900 in lost sales and labor
rs $15,000,000 in lost wages, ended after
4 days with nothing more accomplished
han the setting up of general wage in
fease and a modified bargaining board.
The same settlement could have been
Pached one day after the strike was
hlled, had the union negotiators been
Fasonable. Instead they piled demand on
PIP of demand, added crisis to crisis, and
ept the strike alive for "a days. At the
hd of the siege, they got nothing they
build not have had in the first place
Why was the strike prolonged, then?
Vas it to satisfy the greed for power
the selfish ego of some radical union
Fader? What other logical reason could
e advanced?
The Chrysler strike is perfect exam
lie OF labor trouble that is unnecessary,
pstly and without reason. 1t is, beyond
bat, an example of the reason the Wag-
er Labor Relations Act should be re-
sed by the forthcoming congress. Only
nder the Wagner act is such disastrous
trike as that at the Chrysler plants pos
bic. Only labor union without any
eeling of responsibility, or any legal re-
possibility, could prolong such a dis
ute.
1t is time such farcieal tragedies were
topped.

SALESMANSHIP AN ART
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

A successful salesman who called on
important customers and made big deals
once told us that after such a call that
might last an hour or two he would be
nearly exhausted That was only because
during that time he was so intent upon
the nature of his contact with the pros
pect that it used up his nervous energy.
He was extremely careful not to offend
in any manner, and careful that what he
had to say was said in the most effective
manner, varying his sales talk to fit the
customer as he analyZed him during the
interview.
To a less degree this applies to every
salesman in the local stores. AS the Gus
toner approaches he can be "sized up.
Some are very easily offended. Some can
be "jollied," but others must be treated
with Difference. Our guess is that it is
better for the salesman to keep his own
personality under cover - to submerge
himself in an attempt to read the Gus
toner quickly and accurately
1t is an art that can be acquired by
practice, and it is game that is fasci
mating The salesman who does not try
to master the art and takes no pleasure
in the game is apt to find himself out of
a job, and his store is suffering, for many
a sale is being lost and many customer
is telling himself he won't go in there
again

Famous Sayings
Willis Thorntons Editorial on:
Preventing War in 1854

declaration of allied war aims
comes from H. c. Wells, British
writer, who doesn't care particular
ly what the British and French have
in mind--as long as it's something
a little more solid than merely
clipping Herr Hitler's ears.
There is some hope, if the people
are sufficiently aroused by the
spread Of these ideas, that Europe's
troubles can be disposed of for per-
iods longer than 25 years at time.
Whether the next peace conference
will meet after a long, narrowing
war or before too much blood has
been split, the results should be
much better than they were after
the Wilson-Lloyd George -Clemen-
ceau huddle in 1919.
No matter who wins the War-if
anyone wins 1.-THE loser can't be
expected to remain permanently on
his knees. Economic expansion is
important and International trade
is doubly essential to nations that
have just gone through long years
of military profligacy.

Something that never happened
during those long years between
1914 and 1918 is happening in
Europe today. People are asking
their statesmen what they intend
to do to the continent after the
conflict is over. The man on the
streets of London and Paris is in
terested not only in having his
country win the war, but in pune
tuating the fight with something
better than a Versailles Treaty.
During the last war, virtually the
only objective of any Allied nation
was to hang the kaiser That ac-
complished, everyone believed every
thing else would take care of it

workers could go back to their fac
tories, farmers to their fields; JOY
and peace. would reign. 1t was as
simple as that.
To-day, one of the principal war
aims advocated is the liberalization
of western Europe. The chief cham
pion of this idea is Julian Huxley,
British novelist, who feels that in
stead of trying to balance power,
the European nations should con-
it. Huxley would set up a

WASHINGTON.-For the second
time in history. one of the major
political conventions may be held
as late as August
Chairman John d. M Hamilton
of the Republican National Com
mittee has pretty well sold the party
high command on the idea that
the Republican convention in 1910
ought to be held after the Demo-
cratic convention. Now the idea is
being carried farther, in high Re-
publican circles, and there is talk
of holding the convention in July or
August
This will be one of the subjects
discussed when the party's eXecu-
tive committee meets here Dec Z.
FAVOR LATE DATE
TO AVOID LETDOWN
Those favoring a late date argue
that there is always a letdown after
a presidential convention. The dele
gates go back home full of en-
thusiasm and energy, then have TO
wait a couple of months before
they can really get TO work
One suggestion being advanced
is that it might be smart to make
the presidential campaign swing
into high Immediately after the
convention, have the formal notifi-
cation of the nominee as soon as
possible, and start the candidate
out on his speech making tour right
after that. This would keep tempo
high all through the campaign.
In line with this idea, plans are
being made to get as much possible
of the routine spade work of the
campaign out of the way before the
convention
In 1896, it is recalled. Mr. Hamil-
ton took office as chairman and
found-as new national chairmen
usually fnid-that he had to start
from scratch. Nobody knew how
much money was going to be avail
able, where it was going to come
from or who was going to get it.
