A PRIZE TAXPAYER

In thoughtful editorial the Ham,
mond Louisiana, Virdicator says: "Our
attention was called to small matter con-
corning taxes paid by railroads and trucks.
We are amazed over the great difference
in the total sums paid by the carriers. For
instance, in a certain Tennessee county,
railroads paid in taxes during 1910 the sum
of SAB ,354.75, while trucks managed to pay
$147.78. The state of Tennessee collected
from railroads $2,546,503 in taxes, and
trucks got by with $30,34O for operating in
the state The railroads are the heaviest
contributors, perhaps, in three-fourths of
the parishes of Louisiana, while the trucks
pay in proportion an insignificant sum. :.
We should not smite the hand that is feed
ing us. The railroad deserves what ton
mage it is possible to give it,
Last year the railroads paid more than
$400, 100000 in taxes. Practically every
town, county and school district, to say
nothing of the states and the Federal gov
eminent. shared That money wasn't spent
hx,goSernment to provide tracks for the
faiiunds. II was. spent for police depart
melits, for fire protection, for roads and
streets, for schools, and for all the thousand
and one public services beneficial to all the
people
These tax payments are vitality i'm
portant any time But in times like the
present. with government expenses reach
ing unprecedented heights, they are vital.
Every dollar contributed by the railroads in
taxes is a dollar saved the rest of us And
it is such industries as the railroads, which
have helped build and maintain our nation,
that will be major contributors to the cost
of the defense program.

SOME NOT ORGANIZED

Now that the city-county recreation
league is beginning to get its program of or
ganized sports underway here, we hope
they will remember along the line to toss
in few that are not organized.
50 great is the emphasis and publicity
attendant to the organized sports, baseball,
for example that few people realize how
many more sports fans visit bowling alleys
in the course of a year thar, go to ball
gamesE,-H ~ ' ',''
The same thing is true in connection
with many other sports.
IT. tennis, the big names of amateur
and professional glory play to few thou
sands each year and tuck their scrap books
full of reams of publicity. Meanwhile, far
more people are picking up tennis rackets
en- the spur of the moment and batting a
ball around than ever saw an organized
match.
Obviously, the organized sports come
ir for the publicity because people every
where are interested in them to a degree,
and you can't write much of story about
five kids playing a game of scrub or hall
full of people shooting pin-ball games.
1t is nevertheless true, as commercial
operators, have learned, that the great
masseof.the people are interested, first, in a
game where they can participate rather
than watch; and second, in games which
Can be seen or played without advance
thought or preparation.
AS another example, in many indus
trial cities where there are baseball dia-
monds workmen will rush to the field at
he sound Of the o'clock whistle, grab up
bats and balls and wind up the game with
20 players on each team and hundreds
cheering them on.
There is a great field in Key West or
anywhere else for organized sports. There
also is a good field along unorganized
lines for the people who like place where
they can kick a football, hit baseball, do
little bowling or knock the stuffing out of
a punching bag when the mood strikes.
