Sappins u. S. Strength

THE modern corporation should hang out new shIngte'
and describe itself unofficial tax collector for
government
Some companies. occupy dual role in the revenue
collecting field
They conceal part of the taxes in the cost of goods
and services, the hand and also act mere
intermediary between their customers and government
on the other.
The telegraph and telephone companies both pay
taxes DIRECTLY. and also COLLECT SPECIAL EX-
C1SES LEVIED ON THEIR CUSTOMERS.
The vendors of gasoline also do so.
Whatever method is used the rising cost of gov
ernmental overhead is becoming growing factor IN the
price at which goods and services ares marketed
IN OTHER words increased taxes deprive customers
l of at least part of the benefits of elimination of
economic waste in present day business
Likewise, the increased hunger Of government Tor
taxes prevents assigning to employees In higher pay the
full fruits of heightened efficiency in corporate manage
meEt
And needless to say the growing take" of govern
of the gross receipts of business reduces the
fund available for distribution to stockholders as dvi-
dends to workers wages
Pick up any of the current annual corporate re-
ports and the nature of the dangerous trend toward
partial Specialization of private enterprise will be dis
cernible.
Taxes directly paid by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. for example, in 1910 took about 62
CENTS OUT OF EVERY DOLLAR of net earnings be-
fore taxes whereas in 1929 all taxes including income
taxes took ONLY "a CENTS.

Letters to the Editor

by public sentiment to bring
both their own lives and teach
ings into harmony with the life
and teachings of Jesus, the
Christ.
| add to what Mr.. Lovett has
said, the incontrovertible charge,
that the preachers of the United
States primarily. and of the rest
of the world in general, are re-
sponsible for the present war
Some of the reasons for the
truth of my statement are.
Very few clergymen either
live up TO, or even preach,
the real teachings of Jesus. They
waste their own and their co.
pies time I'm feeding their con-
gregation on husks instead of
corn.
O-They have not only. i'm most
- cases. allowed their churches
to degenerate into largely social
organizations or country clubs
as charged by Roger W. Babson,
but also have developed them
into rackets which struggle
along with church suppers and
baZaars, i'm many cases induig-
ing in gambling, to raise only
little more than enough money
TO pay the preachers salary.
The churches, as led by the
clergy, support their own world
wide missions imperfectly and
have an utterly inadequate pro-
gram for world peace and other
great social, economic, govern
mental and moral phases OF
human life.
O-They do not five up to, nor
- preach, the great truths and
principles set forth In the
twenty-fifth chapter of Levitt

cent of our social-economic, I'M

Well. L and a few thousand
have a different slant after an
example of How not to see a
fight in Detroit"
First. let me explain that il
was my understanding that gen.
eral admission tickets would not
be sold until the night of the
Joe Louis fight. Okay. l was
with my party 1--WE are working
people, and waited and were in
line at $50 p. m. which even
then was a long one reaching
from the general admission win
dow, back TO Grand River. and
from there past the main en-
trance to the next corner.
Well, after shuffling for APP
proximately 30 minutes we were
then informed by officials that
all standing room had been sold.
Now. here comes the typical
Detroit way. Bear in mind. the
gen era admission window
opened at Z p. m. and was closed
at 7:30 p. mo minutes. AS
soon as they were closed. scalp
ers appeared as if by magic
offering Sis ducats for So. and
some had the regular 1920 card
boards, which you could have
for SO.
Not too much profit for an in
weston, but if the house was sold
4 out at 7;30 p. m, how could
these same scalpers sell out and
then be back within 10 minutes
with fresh batch of tickets,
since you could not purchase
them at any price at the main
entrance?
To my knowledge this went on
until 3 p. m or after.
If Detroit wants the faith and
financial backing of its fight
fans. then let it get busy and
correct this glaring evil that was
so evident during this last fight.

this apparent graft is wiped out.

Flood of Questions Asked
About South America

Shut off from trade and travel iM'
Europe, Middlewesterners are turn
Gag their attention in an amazing
degree to LatinIAmerican countries,
70 study of their culture, art, and
background, and to the prospects
for travel, and even indefinite stays,
according to findings Of the Pan
American council here.
The council, which established
headquarters in Chicago, has been
de1uged with inquiries Of all kinds,
declared the president, Mrs. Robert
S. Plat.
People are asking about travel,
about the ACCESSIBILITY of moving to
some South American country to
make greater use of technical train
ing in dairying, metallurgy, or man
ufacture, about Latin-American art
or music, or politics, about lecturers
and speakers who can give an eve
ning's program, about crafts, tex
tiles, and paintings they might ex-
hibit, about music and literature.
The council is not only a clearing
house for Latin-American informa-
ton for Chicagoans, Mrs. Plat en-
phasized, but also kind Of focal
point for about eight Latin-Ameri-
can organizations, including the
Friends of Mexico, Institute de las
Espanas, Mesa Espanola, Good
Neighbor Forums of the Y. M. C. A.
college, and Spanish clubs in North
western university and the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
Letters and telephone calls ask,
"Can you give us the name Of an
importer of rubber in South Amer
ica?" "Does Germany or Uruguay
control the salvage rights Of the Adj
miral Graf Spee?" (Which country
has that large public works pro-
gram pending?" ''How much Amer
lean money was invested in Latin
American countries in 1892"
To assist in disseminating infor-
nation the council, young as it is,
is already putting out bi-monthly
bulletin announcing a calendar Of
film showings, orchestra concerts,
panel discussions, exhibits, Ian
guage classes and other scheduled
events all having to do with Latin
American relations.

craft radio development, which has
been SO important in the evolution Of
this newest branch of the transporta-
ton industry. At about the same time
came ship-to-shore and coastwise
radiotelephone service for all kinds Of
craft-from ocean liners to fishing
boats. The Bell Telephone Labora-
tories were literally taking telephone
service to land, sea and air.
Still another of the accomplish
ments in which the Laboratories has
played an important part, has been
the extension and growth of teletype-
writer service. Aeronautical authori-
ties and police have found teletype-
writer networks particularly useful in
their activities.
The developments Of the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories which relate to
ordinary telephone service have been
just as significant, if not as spectacu-
lar as those previously mentioned. For
example, there have been many new
types of power plant equipment, some
of it made necessary by other labora-
tories inventions such as the coaxial
cable and carrier systems.
Such a record made in the relatively
short time Of fifteen years is striking
proof Of the tremendously significant
part played by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories in the development,
improvement and expansion Of the
nations telephone industry, and in
the world of science in general.

Compared with the wild herds from
which our present cattle are descended,
the COW of today is almost as much of
q rnonstrosity as If she had six legs,
claims E. B. Powell, Manager, Purina
Experimental Farm, Gray Summit,
Missouri.
"By nature, COW Is supposed to give
Just enough milk to give her calf q
good start in Ife-possibly not more
than thousand pounds year." he
explains. "And the jungle fowl of India
is supposed to lay just enough eggs to
hatch out her chicks. And a wild hog is
supposed to weigh around 200 pounds
at IN to 2 years, not much Of which
meat is edible.
"But today's COW is expected to give
better than 5000 pounds Of milk annu-
ally. Today's hen is expected to lay
from 200 to 300 eggs each year. Today's
hog is expected to weight over 200
pounds at six months. It's figures like
these that make our present day farm
animals 'monstrosities, according to
Powell.
Feed Requirements Change
Because of the physical changes
which livestock and poultry have under
gone to get the high production de-
manded Of them, they require feeds far
different from those on which they
were able to exist in their natural or
primitive state, Mr.. Powell points out
1.-THE primitive COW was able to pro-
duce enough milk for her offspring
from wild pasture, but even on good
pasture or hay today's potential 10000
pound COW will lose flesh and fall of in
production. Along with her pasture or
hay she must have balanced grain
ration If she is to hold up in flesh and
produce to her best" he asserts.
