The newspapers tell you what is going on in the world and in your community. And only those newspapers are read and survive which tell the news truthfully. Our daily ad tells you what is going on in the merchandising world and in this store. Our advertising, then, is news that is of inter- est to purchasers. ADVERTISING 1S TRUTH When it attempts to tell anything but the truth about things that are for sale is no longer advertising. It is deception, double- dealing, fraud, trickery. This Store stands for TRUTH in everything.

URGES REVISION OFUSTAXLAWS Exempting Federal and Mu- nicipal Securities Burdens Utilities, Witness Says. i i | | | Speaking for many of the public utilities of the country, Phillip H. Gadsden of Thiladelplia urged revi- 1 of tha T tax laws to include bition o it govern- securities municipal regulated 0se of their securi- ties and raise badly needed money, when he appeared before the Nenate ! finance nittee today. Mr den appeared as chairman of i tax committee representing th ican Electric American Gas Railway Associat ssociation and tional Electric Light Association. He declared emphatically that pub- lic utilities do not seek to evade tax- l:\(lnn, but merely desire better condi- tions” under which to market their securities that they may be able to previde badly needed extensions and betterments for their properties. Should Be in Separate Class. Since public utilities are resulated s and com fixed prices, nditions. it aid at as_to operation pelled to g regardles is only fair, they be consid para in taxation le He urzed th tment pecial sub-com mittee to make a thorough study of the public utility tax situation Two features of the sccurities sit- uation which Mr. Gadsden declared vital to the continued operation of public utilities are: n whom public utilities very largely for money must depend —those ubject to a surtax of over 3 per cent—no longer will buy public utility securities, because they find tax exempt 5 per cent government se- cutit'es better investments. The only persons who, under the present tax laws, find it profitable to buy public utility securities are those whose incomes are less than $10,000 a year. Their combined sav- ings are only $116,000,000, or wbout $1,884,000,000 less than is required by the publio utilities, including steam railroads, electric railways, gas, eleotrio light and power plants, annually to make their betterments and extensions. Tends to Socialism, Witnexs Says. “Unless this policy of exempting municipal securities is discontinued, we are rapidly drifting into practical socialism, whioh in its essence means ownership of everything by the public” Mr. Gadsden said there are now $14,000,000,000 tax exempt Securities outstanding. “If the public utilities are to de- velop as they should, some relief from the heavy burden of taxation of their securities must be had,” he continued. “I do not want our posi- tion misunderstood. Public utilities are not asking any relief from tax- ation. They propose to pay the full measure of taxation, but think some plan will have to be devised by which their securities can be put into a position where they can compete suc- cessfully with municipalities.” It would be very diffioult, Mr. Gads- den said, to apply a sales tax to the public utilities. Instancing this he pointed out that every prepayment £as moter in the country would have to be changed in order to pass such a tax along to the consumer and also that it would be virtually impossible to pass along a sales tax on street car fares, because of the small amount paid by the individual rider. The sales taxes now in operation in France, Canada and the Philippine Islands do not apply to public utili- ties for this reason. 520 ACCIDENTS IN APRIL. Total Shown in Traffic Squad’s Be- port to Maj. Gessford. A report submitted to Maj. Harry L. Gessford, superintendent of police, by Capt. A. J.
