A book on Money just issued says in its preface “few things in our modern en- vironment as so familiar to us as money.” Many will stated this statement. ‘Marquis as Vauban,» of St. Leger, France, is credited with inventing the in- come tax.

LEGALIZED SABOTAGE To raise the price of a commodity by increasing the demand for it at home or abroad is legitimate; but to raise the price by reducing the supply through means of destruction is sheer economic waste. In the broader sense there is no such thing as private ownership. The world’s goods are but lent to mankind. As individuals we are but trustees. We may use property, but we may not de- stroy it. The government proposes to pay bounties to cotton farmers who plow up and destroy part of their growing crops. The appeal to the selfish instinct is the promise of cash reward in the form of the bounties and increased price for the pro- ducts of the fewer acres tilled. But the farmer must also think of the poorly-clad millions in other countries who need what his plow destroys. His moral code is violated by wanton waste. If only he had planted fewer acres in the first place a different.principle would have been involved. The destructive method of reducing acreage is unsound; it is immoral, criminal. Cotton is net the only commodity needing an increased price level. House rentals are down to a level which does not afford the landlord a decent rate of in- terest on his investment plus the taxes and the cost of repairs; but the government scarcely would offer bounties to landlords for bufning down all their vacant houses! There is not an over-supply of houses, any more than of cotton bales—only a re- duction in the purchasing power of those who need them. Indeed the government at Washington recently estimated that all the present vacancies have been caused by the doubling up process, and that actually another half-million of homes is needed. Legalized sabotage is no better than legalized arson as a means of economic re- lief. THOSE INDIRECT TAXES * The direct taxes you pay probably don’t amount to a large proportion of your income. But if you add the indirect taxes—those which are part of the cost of-buying service and commodi- ties—your total tax bill rises alarmingly. A report of a Southern power com- pany observes that its taxes—local, state and federal—amounted to more than $20 a year for each customer served. The ra- tio of taxes to gross revenue was more than 12 percent. In other words, twelve cents out of each dollar paid for electric service went to the tax collector. The same thing is true, in varying pro- portion, of everything you buy. Govern- ment accounts for 25 percent or more of the cost of gasoline. Taxes are a major item in the cost of shipping or traveling by rail. Taxation is so grext a burden to the average business that in many instances it has prevented expansion that would other- wise have been made, and employment that would otherwise have been provided. So, if your direct tax bill is small, don’t think that indicates the cost of gov- ernment is reasonable... It isn’t. It’s ex~ cessive, and your taxes are excessive along with everyone else’s. You pay but a small part of it to the tax collector yourself— the bulk of it is paid for you by the con- cerns from which you purchase the nec- essities and luxuries of life. There’s no such thing as levying a tax against business —in the long run, it must all come out of the public. And that means you. WHITE LIES The old nado of whether a ies: hood is ever justified is brought to mind by the death of Mrs. Minna Preiskel in New Jersey at the age of 72. _A serjes of false- hoods had cheered her age for years. Mrs. Preiskel was critically ill when her son, Robert, was killed in action in France on March 26, 1918. Doctors warned | that if she were told the sad news it would | kill her. She was never told. Her family caused a letter to be sent j te her, supposedly from her son, telling her that he was employed in France. Let- ters written in the United States and sent to France to be remailed to the mother were received and read to her, telling of her boy’s imagined doings abroad. In all 520 of these spurious letters were received by the waiting invalid who until the last had hopes of seeing her son again. Similar “white lies” have prevented mental anguish in thousands ,of cases the world over. Who can say with assurance that it was wrong to tell them?
