The United States has more princely incomes than any other nation in the world. The profits from her industries are greater than those of any other country. It is the expressed purpose to tax these incomes and profits. As to the former, they are contributing probably their share. It 18 with the latter that we have to deal. To the thoughtful person it would appear that Congress should de- vise a just eystem of taxes on profits—not on ‘‘excess” profits. ' The profits on Big Business have been enormous for years, and there is really little “excess” upon which to levy a tax. g Take, merely as an example, the United States Steel Corporation. That concern is credited with a dividend in 1916 of $270,000,000. It is, extremely doubtful if their profits will much exceed that figure in 1917, which would enable U. S. Steel to escape the excess tax entirely. . But any little farmer worth less than $30,000, who makes a profit of $6,000, will be compelled to pay at least $2,000. The injustice of the entire scheme can be seen at a glance. The tax burden will not be equitably distributed so long as we per- sist in dealing with ‘“excess” profits. ' When we begin to consider ALL profits we will begin to make'progress toward a correct solution'‘of the taxing problem, DON'T DUMP ASHES ON STREETS This is ‘the time of year when the none too particular household usés the streets of the city as dumping ground for their ashes and already attention has been called to the practice by the council. It was only a few days ago that a small boy on Minnesota avenue slowly walked to the center of the pavement and there dumped the ashes from an ash pan. It would seem that the pavement was considered a - Last week we ran an open letter telling Ford good place for refuse and ashes by this family. prospeCts | about the Shortage On Ford cars' A Ashes are being Ythrown, spread fashion, on various streets and in alleys much to the annoyance of those who are obliged to use sleds in We have taken many Orders and we are going to hauling.
