that had been hanging

10 be a guest when the

Tax Policy Affects Lives
OF Farmers, W oge Farmers

tax the corporation must do one of
four things: ID charge higher
prices for its products; (2) pay low
er wages; go pay less returns on
invested savings: or t4 pillow back"
less of its income into business ex-
pansion. Whichever it does, the tax
must be paid by an individual,
since only individuals can pay taxes.
At present about $4,000 of new in
vestment must b. made to provide
one new iot in industry. Thus if the
amount of its income which n cCr-
poration can Use to ploW back, or
the less it costs as reinveStmentS
frCm dividends paid out, the fewer
new jobs can be created.
LESS BUYING POWER
On the othcr Lard, lower wages
and higher prices both mean less
purchasing power for industrial
products and for farm products. The
Importance of this to farmers is
graphically Illustrated by the
astonishing fact that year after
year total farm income and total
industrial payrolls are almost iden-
tical in size. Farmers thus have a
definite interest in the amount of
industrial wages which represent n
major market fer farm products.
A second tax r2commendation
made by the CED which is closely
allied to this question Of markets
is the proposed repeal of all excise
taxes, other than those on liquor,
tobacco and possibly gasoline. These
proposals would free an estimated
S3,000,000,000 now paid in excise
taxes which bear most heavily on
low-income groups and which are
therefore paid out of funds which
would otherwise be spent largely
for consumer goods such as food
and clothing.

An Appeal
To Voters

| have been your commissioner
for twelve years and when first
elected in 1882, Glacier county
was in debt 100000, and the
County levy for that year was
50.82 mills. Through the careful
management of the County Board
of Commissioners, of which l was
and am a member, the debt has
been paid in full and the levy has
been reduced each year until in
1914, this year, it is 1884 mills
just a little over one half what it
was in 1882.
During that time, while have
been your Commissioner, we have
built a new Court House for the
county at a total cost of a little
more than $135,OOO.OO and this
has also been paid in full so that
Glacier county at this time does
not owe a dollar, and at this time
the county has a large surplus OF
money to its credit in various
banks of Montana. If this record
appeals to you | would appreciate
your vote and support at the gen.
eral election next Tuesday.
