The Long-Suffering Taxpayer No one in America is quite so much the forgotten man as the taxpayer. He is an important individual, yet he is long-suf- fering and rarely vocal. Looking at a maze of government activities he hasn’t got the time and often lacks the resources to make a detailed an- alysis of the cost of government. Yet no one knows better than he that he is paying too much. | Discussing this phenomenon before the National Tax As- sociation at Baltimore on Monday, Gov. Cochran of Nebraska pointed out that a feeling of responsibility to the taxpayer on the part of public officials would do much to relieve the burden, Just now, he said, the bugaboo of all governmental units is the relief problem. His remedy, while drastic, is simple. It is to “get this responsibility back to its origina] status, at least in substantial part.” The original status mentioned is that of family and local responsibility as distinguished from state and federal responsibility as developed within the last few years. Pointing out that additional expenditures result from the activity of two pressure groups, the government agencies them- selves and minority groups each promoting a pet idea, the gov- ernor observes: “In: this day of multitudinous organizations when new organiza- tions are formed over night for the purpose of bringing pressure on the Governor, pressure on the legislature, pressure on the admini- strative agencies of the political subdivisions, even pressure on a re- luctant citizenry to add new burdens to government, it becomes the duty of the executive authority, of the legislative authority, and of the local governing bodies to scrutinize all such demands. It is their duty to think not only of the benefits to the minority, but of the costs to the majority, the taxpayer and his ability to pay the total cost.” That is imposing a difficult task on public officials, It is so much easier to say yes than to say no. But there is no doubting the accurracy of the Nebraskan’s analysis. In his state he has had to remember it, because the Ne- braska constitution forbids the issuance of bonds or the crea- tion of state debt. And when people have to pay as they go they usually adjust their government to fit the amount they can raise by’taxation. Most People Are Honest Even though people working in the mass usually seem to be less able and intelligent than those same persons operat- ing as‘ individuals, there is adequate reason to have confidence in the future of America. From the best indices available come proof that the aver- age American is an honest individual who pays his debts, Folks like that can safely be trusted to handle their own affairs, Even lf misinformation and prejudiced thinking occasionally cause them to get off the track of sound development they are pretty sure to hurry back on again. One good: proof of honesty comes from the National As- sociation of Sales Finance companies, composed of firms which are bankers for instalment selling. These firms know from their own experience that the public is smart enough to pro- tect itself. They know because the public, by one device or another, has forced down the interest rates from former ex-|1 orbitant charges to the relatively small ones for which credit | stich now may be obtained. Reviewing the experience of these companies through the last 10 years, Henry Ittelson, one of the big figures in this field, recently asserted in an address to the organization’s con- vention: “The American consumer—exemplifying in aggregate the average man—added greatly to his dignity and status in the economy of our country. He proved that he needs no guard- ign to tell him what to buy or when, or whether he possesses the character and ability to meet his obligation.” There could be no better recommendation for any people. As long as the average man expects to pay his bills he will insist that others do so. He will insist on a high standard of business morality. And business morality has more than a little to do with public and persona! morality. Plenty of Money America has plenty of money. The average individual may feel a little light in the pocket, but the money is present in the country as may be proved by reference to the latest figures from the comptroller of the cur- rency. These show assets in all banks of the country, state as well as'national, of $68,941,069,000. Of this less than 28 billion is in loans on real estate and other loans, the rest is in securities and other paper. Among the interesting figures are $14,071,081,000 in government bonds, $2,899,453,000 in other “obligations fully guaranteed” and $14,670,297,000 in balances with other banks, including reserve with reserve agents. Those figures represent a terrific amount of money, enough | to do more business than the nation is doing. now. They indicate that what we need is to put the money we have to constructive work, rather than more money. And before money will go to work with real vim and-vigor the nation must have a complete restoration of confidence.

HAIRDRESSERS ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL Federal Court of 3 Judges Re- strains State Board From Enforcing Law Fargo, N. D., Oct, 28.—(?}—A three- judge federal court Thursday hied unconstitutional the hairdressers and kota 1937 legislative session. The court order, signed by Judge Andrew Miller of Fargo, Judge John B. Sanborn of the circuit court and Judge Robert M. Bell, St. Paul, be- comes effective when the complain- ants file a $500 bond, and is in the form of an interlocuatory injunction restraining the state board from en- forcing the act, The action was brought by Peggy's peas SheP. and School, Minot; the lew York and Chicago Hairdressing academies of Fargo; Christie's Beauty School, Bismarck; and the Victorian ‘School of Beauty Culture, Grand Forks. It was against the state board of hairdressers and cosmetologists composed of Clara R, Alexander, Mary ‘Timmerman and Vera Malchow. In its injunction order the court prohibits the state board from en- forcing or in any manner executing that portion of Chapter 137 of the 1937 session laws wherein “it is ex- pressly provided that no school of hairdressers or. cosmetology shall make any charge for any service or material which is covered and included within the practice of hairdressing and cos- metology, and which may be rendered by any student of such school, except- ing the actual cost of the materials used,” That portion is held to violate the 14th amendment to the U. 8. consti- tution, ; HOTEL REGISTRATIONS 4) Grand Pacific Hotel Lillian Lynch, Alice Halle, Mrs. Charles Schow, Devils Lake; Mrs, T.
