in 1919, a slack commercial year,
the United States still was the
worlds foremost exporting nation,
and that we were third among i'm
porters. AS importers England and
Germany surpassed us, but they're
by no means as self-sufficient as
we are.
It's ridiculous, Farrell argues, to
think that we can upset contrast
of such proportions without rails

What Effect Will Additional
Taxes Haue on Jobholders?

Very important also, in my opin-
ion, is the effect this additional tax
will have upon the mind of the job
holder. You know, jobholder very
frequently is most willing, even anx--
ious, to spend the taxpayers money.
1t is one way by which he can curry
favor, make votes for himself. I
have feeling that many of those
jobholders are going to stop and
think wee bit more. He may pos
sibly stop to think how much it will
take out of his pocketbook. That
ought to be helpful, because it ought
to reduce the number of flannel
mouths going about the county or
district, shouting for another bond
issue before the ink on the last one
gets dry. One of the results, there
fore, possibly may be to cause that
type of public official and advocate
of improvement" to favor living
within the income of tax receipts.
To make it complete, now, we
ought to have the same kind of re-
ciprocal taxation of income from
federal bonds and bonds issued by
state and local governments and
their agencies. Mr.. Roosevelt has
said he believes these can be taxed
that is, those to be issued in the
future-under present laws. Some
very fine legal minds in congress
believe, on the other hand, that Gre
alton of such taxing right will re-
quire amendment of the Constitu-
ton. In any event, it ought to be
done for the good of the country.
There can be no doubt in the mind
of anybody that ''tax free" bonds
sell like hot cakes. They bring bet
ter prices than bonds of industrial
corporations and the like, because
the interest from those bonds must
bear its fair share of tax.

NosD, They're Seeking Money
To Pay Their Fiddlers

Now, the time has come to begin
paying off the debts. The states
and the cities and the counties have
been looking for money to pay their
fiddlers. The national government
has been looking for money to pay its
fiddlers. Each unit of government
has had to look around for new
spots, new things, to tax. Taxes
are as high as can be regarded as
productive in many of the usual
ways of taxation. So, where shall
we turn? was the, question.
President Roosevelt has believed
for long time that it was rather
silly that officers and employees of
the federal government should not
be taxed by their home states. He
has believed, too, that the federal

Most such regulations tread on
questionable ground, assuming
roundabout jurisdiction over inter-
state commerce which is really
federal power. Early this year
Washington became so alarmed that
several officials like Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
threatened to use federal mallet
to knock down the barriers. The
most important result came from
intervention by the Council of State
Governments which called a "na-
tional conference on interstate trade
barriers" in Chicago. Surprisingly,
though most of the A states repre-
scented were themselves guilty, they
condemned barriers to a man. A

Never Before Has the Nation
Had Such a Gigantic Debt

It can not be construed otherwise.
Never before in our history has the
nation had such gigantic debt,
debt of more than 40 billion dollars.
Never before have the states or the
cities or the counties had such debts,
where their state constitutions per-
init creation of debt, as they have
today. do not know of anyone who
can give accurate figures on the
debts of governments of states, cit
les, and counties. 1t is tremendous
sum. They have danced, and they,
too, must pay their fiddler.
In the lush days when most folks
were working and there was good
business, the taxes rolled in and
there was little or no thought about
spending money for new roads, new
post offices, new county courthouses,
new city halls, new bridges and so
on. Money was spent rather lib
orally in those days. There were
bonds sold, and the proponents cam
paigned for bond issues in big
way. They said, in effect, saw
come on and vote these bonds. We
can pay them off over 20 years and
the little teeny added tax won't
hurt" It probably did not hurt, in
those days. But there came the
depression and there came 10 mill
lion men out of work, and there
came the worst business in a half
century. Then, that teeny little bit
of tax did hurt. The taxpayers
weren't paying taxes, because they
had no money to pay them.
There was, howeveA debt. The
destitute had to be fed and clothed.
First, the local authorities did it;
then the states and then the days of
the real dance began. Billions upon
billions were poured out of the fed
eral treasury to be used for feed
ing and clothing and housing those
whom the states and cities had
cared for, but could care for no
longer. And up zoomed, the national
debt. 1t was about 16 billions to
start with because only billions of
the World war debt had been paid
off. Since the taxes were not bring
ing in enough money, the federal
treasury borrowed and borrowed
