THE STATE'S OLDEST NEW (Established 1873) SPAPER ewspaper) 1 City, State and County TAX REDUCTION Possibilities of greater tax reduction, due to the unex- pected size of the government’s surplus at the end of the fiscal year, continue to furnish the principal topic of con-j versation for the common citizen, the statesmen and_poli- ticians. It is believed that there wiil be a generous cut in the surtaxes as well as a dec se in the lower taxes and it is regarded as a significant fact that the surtax decrease is no longer a party measure. A great many Democratic sen- | Its abs ators and congressmen are for it now, It is said that they | wid have sensed the belief now prevailing over the country that} tuyur a cut in the surtax rates will help everybody by increasing | sae : ae THE EC oxo Way the investment in business generally, and so promoting gen- eral prosperity. A poll of the Senate. made recently and published by the! New York World indicates that at least fifty-seven senators are in favor of a decrease in the surtax rate from forty-six per cent to at least twenty-five per cent. Many believe that the ultimate rate will be twenty per cent in the proposed bill. | In the list of Democrats noted as in favor of the reduction | sdell and | New Jer-} ss, Vir-} are Underwood, Alabama; George, Georgia; Rar Broussard, Louisiana; Bruce, Maryland; Edwards sey; Copeland, New York; Tyson, Tennessee; G! ginia. Senators Glass and Underwood are said to have been in strumental in changing sentiment in the Democratic rank: Mr. Underwood's position i: “We have levied our taxes so high that we have chas much of the capital of the country into hiding and have re- duced our revenue thereby. We are undoubtedly slowing down the productive energy of the countr “What are we to do about it? I know what I would do} about it if I had the power to write my views into law. I) would go back to the tax law of 1916, or something ver like it, where the normal tax was two per cent, and the highest bracket of the surtax was thirteen per cent and the highest tax on estates was ten per cent.” Senator Glass asserted: “I was and am for a radical reduction in the surtaxes imposed by the government of the United States on its citizens. We might have reduced the suriaxes radically and the taxes in the lower bracket even further than we did reduce them, and would yet have cre- ated a surplus.” RICH WITHOUT EXPLOITATION The United States has become incomparably the richest nation in the world, and this has come about not through exploitation or inju to other nations but by reason of American resources, energy, enterpr and industry. Statistics collected from official source Industrial Conference board show that the United States has, as compared with the entire world: 6.2 per cent of its population; 5.7 per cent of its area; 37.9 per cent of its installed water power; 57.8 per cent of its telephone and telegraph wire in use; 9 of its railway mileage; 82.7 of its automobiles and motor trucks; of its coal production; 71.9 of its petroleum production; 52.7 of its copper smelter production; 46.1 of its lead smelter production; 21.3 of its cereal production other than wheat; 52 per cent of its cotton production; 52.6 of its lumber production; 60.2 of its pig iron production; 59.8 per cent of its steel ingot and casting production; 70.999 of its rubber consumption. The complaint that the United States prospers at the expense of the rest of the world is made in ignorance. It prospers because it produces all out of proportion to popu- lation and area. Other portions of the world of equal area are almost as rich in resources. America has prospered be- cause she produces, earns. Her production is based on the highest labor costs in the world. Most of it is consumed within the borders of the United States PRESS AGENT: Some time ago, if you remember, a couple of men were arrested in Los Angeles accused of a piot to make away with a movie actress. The reason alleged was that she had beer active against the narcotic drug traffic. Perhaps you remember that story. Do you remember any later stories telling of the men ever being sent to prison? Of course you don’t. Neither are you likely to read of any prison terms for the latest gang arrested there—men said to have plotted to kidnap another actress. Read all news from Hollywood with a pinch of salt. There are a lot of very clever press agents in that town. There is one good thing to be said about the Tennessee trial. It doesn’t seem to have any effect on the stock mar- kets. Forty members of a back-to-nature cult were arrested at Berne, Switzerland, for going without clothes. Doubtless some of the advanced European thinkers will blame this on to the clothing trust. The judge down at Dayton, Tenn., has conferred the title of Colonel on Attorney Darrow which will not help Clarence any with his proletariat constituents up in Chicago.
