BABSON DISCUSSES WAGEWORKERS AND BOMBING

Babson Park, Mass, April 10,
1855. In considering this topic,
there are several important fac
tors which must be weighed by
both employers and wageworFers.
One of the first OF these is location.
In addition to the question OF
whether it is a good place to live,
a location is either favorable or
unfavorable depending upon it's
suitability for the industry in which
you are engaged If the commodity
TO be produced Is bulky and heavy.
accessibility through proximity or
ample transportation is necessary.
Location And Capital
A successful steel mills LOCA-
TION is determined primarily by
its accessibility to the raw ma
terial. Transportation by rail and
water is highly essential. Another
factor in determining an ideal loca-
tion for an industrial plant is a
MARKET for the finished product
Heavy products are therefore ex-
c1uded from some markets by con-
sideration of ffic will
bear" A carload of silk can be
shipped much farther than a car
load of steel, since the rate cost per
unit would be much less for silk
This would giwe it larger market
Therefore, accessibility to both the
raw product and the market for the
finished goods is very important
in determining an ideal location
for a successful enterprise.

THAT'S WHAT HURTS

Though much groaning is heard in the
land around this time of the year, most
thoughtful citizens would agree that taxes
are NECESSARY hazard of life in modern So
ciety The majority of responsible taxpayers
might even subscribe to the view that taxes
must eIhigh because they pay for SO much
government and defense
Now say to your citizen The federal in
come tax is complicated, and because it is
complicated it has to be loaded down with
exemptions and exceptions and inequities.
Say that to the honest hard-working citi-
zen, and he sees red. Quite properly he be-
gins to sputter a retort intended to set you
back on your heels. And when the sputter-
ing has tanned down somewhat it turns out
to have meant about this:
The income tax should be as simple as
possible without being unfair.
The income tax should have only a few
general, uniform exemptions.
The progressivenass of the taxa small
percentage on small incomes, an increasingly
larger percentage on larger incomes-should
be essentially the same for all kinds of in
come, not patchwork based more on poll
tics than on common sense.
Taxes are high; there's no denying it..
But the really irksome thing about the in
come tax, is that under the present system
many taxpayers feel that it is needlessly COM
plex and not fair TO all concerned. That is
