self except by taxes, and whenever the governments ex-
penses exceed the income, then either loans must be floated
or taxes increased. But while it is true that this is the normal
accepted method, circumstances and conditions peculiar to
ST. Croix might call for doing an ordinary thing in an extra
ordinary way.
THE BILL INCREASING the taxes on Service and Re-
tail Licenses is complete, which makes the maxim that no one
escapes death or taxes, appear SO true. In this instance it
would seem as if the basis for increase should be production
or income. A term, for example, as Printing and Publishing
House even sound strange for the Virgin Islands, where the
limited number OF publications, except in one or two instances
is little more than familyszed enterprises. The possible dan
ger lies in the fact that too arbitrary methods of ascertaining
the relative taxes might be applied. Certain businesses by
their very nature can stand higher taxes than others, and in
view OF this fact a method of determining taxes commensu-
rate with earning power should be applied.

carefully into each and every item. No wholesale criticism Of
opposition may be justified, but before passing any measure
the legislature owes a duty to the electorate to make sure that
all snap Judgment is out. Many a fine bit of legislation has
gone awry because each and every section and portion had
not been gone into carefully. And this is what should take
place in these. two bills.
citizen, and even those whose intimacy
with public affairs is greater often allow themselves to miss
the point when it comes to taxes. So long as new industries,
new money, new ventures are not put into play and use, then
the government must turn to what is evidently the most m-
pleasant duty facing any official-that of increasing taxes. But
it is likewise the duty Of the legislature to check and re-check
and to make sure that the taxes proposed not only fit the
needs but that the methods are such as prove equitable.
