South Dakotan Proposes
Single Tax Program.

To the Editor of The Star:
When We hear much about prosecut-
ing certain corporations and individuals
under the statutes against restraint Of
trade We DO some wondering about the
inconsistency of legislators who enact
statutes of that intent, Vet also enact
StatuteS-certain tax Statutes-which
restrain trade and commerce much more
effectively than any corporation or in
divldual, except international cartels
only. has yet been guilty of or even
contemplated.
Can any one mention any tariff act
which is not statute in restraint of
trade? Doesn't taxation of transporta-
ton facilities constitute restraint of
trade and commerce by existing statutes?
How about the taxes imposed on pro-
ducers and distributors of goods and or
services? Are they not statutes which
restrain trade? Isn't it a fact that all
such statutes increase the cost of living
promote initiation and maintain state
Of poverty when there is plenty for
everybody?
1t seems that the system of taxing
those best able to pay" is all wrong.
and that justice better might be achieved
by shifting the taxes which now act in
restraint of trade and commerce to the
income derived from economic rent
Gland rent or a tax on inheritance or
personal income. Neither of these three
kinds of taxes can act in restraint of
trade, nor do they tend to raise the
prices for consumer needs or wants.

there is going to be no return engage

AS this realization penetrates slowly
and by degrees into the thick skulls of
our German and japanese enemies, the
effect will be considerable It may
make them fight harder at first, though
it would be difficult for any peoples to
fight any harder than both of them

demands Of the steel workers and

demands Of the steel workers and
other potent groups demanding the
abolition Of the Little Steel formula
Very few legislators would want to
be in the position of voting to con-
tinue the subsidy program if wages
are going to be boosted in any event.
On the other hand, they realize that
if they kill the subsidies the Little
Steel formula is doomed. Thus,
there is an element of timing in
volved which tends to put the men,
bers of the Senate on the spot, what
ever they do
In this connection it might be
noted that the Senate itself will play
an important part in determining
whether the wage line can or will
be held. 1t is scheduled to vote
today on the resolution urging the
Stabilization director to grant the
pay demands of the railroad workers.
If that resolution is passed, it will
be naive, to say the least, to expect
the War Labor Board to turn down

demanding more money.

The Political Mill

The one thing that stands out in all
this fracas is that the men in the armed
forces should be given an opportunity
to vote in the elections next year. Some
workable plan should be evolved. Those
who support the plan for Federal bal
lot, limited to voting for presidential
and vice presidential electors and for
members Of Congress, give as their rea-
sons for this unprecedented course in
ability OF the States to do the job But
they do not know, really, whether the
States can handle the job or not. They
say that the States will not amend their
election laws SO as to expedite absentee
voting by the men in the armed forces.
But they do not know that, as a fact,
either
Almost year must elapse before the
national election is held Nineteen
State Legislatures are to meet in 1914
They would be in position to amend
their election laws so as to permit the
soldiers to get their ballots into the
handS of the State election officials in
time to be counted. The Legislatures of
the 90 other States could be called into
special session to make similar changes
in their laws, if they were necessary
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
States would prefer to make these war
time changes in their election laws
rather than to have the Federal Gov
ernment undertake to run the election
so far as the voting of the armed forces
Is concerned. The Constitution of the
United States leaves to the States the
handling Of the elections within their
borders. 1t is duty and a right which
has been jealousy guarded by them.
With two exceptions all the States
have absentee voting laws already The
difficulty with many of these laws lies
in the fact that the issuance of the alb
sentee ballots would require too many
motions and too much time for the SOL

Therefore, while these conferences
are a good start, they ought to be

Subsidy Vote DeIoy

There is considerable force to the
arguments advanced by War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones against
the proposal to postpone for sixty
days the Senate vote on the House
approved bill to knock out the food
subsidy program.
The postponement move, said to
have been sponsored by administra-
ton leaders, apparently is designed
to give the legislators a chance to
sample public sentiment during a
contemplated Christmas holiday. AS
Mr.. Jones has pointed out, however,
any protracted delay would be
harmful, since time will be required
to plan and carry out next years
food program. In all probability this
legislation, If passed by the Senate,
will be vetoed when it gets to the
White House. In that event it would
60 back to Congress for action on the
veto, with the result that any ap-
preciable delay in the Senate vote
at this time might well prevent a
final decision on the subsidy issue
until after the planting season.
Procrastination of this sort could
result only in confusion and injury
to the food program.
1t is quite likely that some of the
members Of the Senate would be glad
to put off q showdown on the sub
sidy question until the administra.
tion reveals whether it intends to
hold the wage line or yield to the
