It is not that there is not an abundance of black coal for generations to come.

On July 5, 1916, Representative Kitchin, of North Car- olina, Democratic chairman of the ways and means committee, intro- duced a special tax bill levying $200,- 000,000 more on the txpayers of the country. This was not only long be: for the United States entered the war but it was at a time when the Demo: cratic administration was saying it would keep the country out of war. When the Republican administra- tion came into power ft found the op erating expenses of the government heavior than ever known, and the peo- pis burdned with a debt of $24,000,- 000,000. Regardless of whether the money expended by the Democratic administration had been wisely spent and the obligations incurred were nec. essary, there was nothing left for the Republican party to do but to assume the debts and devise ways and means of reducing th At the same time {it wan essentia! that taxes be reduced. To accomplish this, the Republican administration put into immediate effect an economy program effecting radical reductions in routine public expenditures. These | to reductions enabled the Republican congress in its special sessitn in the summer of 1921 to enact a revenue law which reduced the public taxes ever $800,000,000, It repealed the transportation taxes levied on freight, express and parcel post, aggregating over a million dol. lars a day which had been added to the price of commodities purchased by the average citizen. It repealed the taxes on. passenger tickets which the average public was paying at the rate of @ quarter of a million dollars a day, Tt repealed the so-called “juisance taxes which the general public was paying on all sorts of drugs, candies, soft drinks, etc., to the amount .of $43,000,000 a year. It repealed the 10 per cent tax which the average citi- zen was paying on hats, millinery, hy lery, shoes, clothing, etc. It repea! the taxes charged at box offices of moving picture theaters and other places of entertainment amounting to $20,000,000 a year. It ropealed the taxes which were being paid on in- surance premiums amounting to $2! 000,000 a. year. It repealed the taxes upon all sorts of musical instruments and sporting goods amounting to $16,- 000,000 a year, It repealed the excess profits tax, which was strangling busin: ats. couraging investment in new enter- prises and preventing development of enterprises already established. It took special care of the wage- earner and salaried man with an in- come of less than $5,000 in that it increased the exemption of all heads of families $500 a year and doubtled the exemption allowed heads of fam- Mies and others for children and other dependents. Over 90 per cent of the peopte of the United Sttes who pay income tax come fn this classification and by this increase of exemption over 4,000,000 heads of famifiles wore directly saved nearly $100,000,000 a year. The man on tho street {s already well aware of the fact that the Re- publican congress lifted a burden from his pocketbook which was not only irritating day by day but which amounted to a large sum at the end of the year. He is also well aware that the program of economy practiced by the Republifan administration is re- sulting in greatly reduced routine ex- penditures which will be reflected in further reduction of taxes. aaa succee@ing generations that we reduce the use of coal to “our absolute necessities, and therefore pro- long its life to the utmost. “It is this responsibility, and not alone economy, that suger utilization of the power posited’ in our streams—the powe: of sixty million horses.

He was the prototype of the modern engi- neer, whose greatest achievement, now that he has build bridges and rallroads and cities and digged mines, will be to bring power from its sources, and e pecially its water sources, to the mr- riad hands of industry—to open the mines of white coal which, like the bush that burned behind the moun- tain, will give its flame to human use and yet not be consumed . z > Platform Jokers The Republicans appear to have a joke on the Democrats as the result of the platform drawn by that party in Kansas. ‘The Democrats declared, as one of their offerings for catching the votes of the farmers in the coming cam- paign, for the following. “We urge the reorganization and continuation of the war finance cor- poration’ as a permanent credit agency for the service of agriculture,” The Republicans point out that the war finance corporation was revived and reorganized in February, 1921, and thet it has been doing business since that time for the very purpose demanded by tha Democratic plat form, an agency for the service of ag- riculture.
