REDUCE TAXES? | Much has been said about the ati-| visability of reducing taxes, but pointing | a need and accomplishing the result seem |. to be vastly different. There’s the case in | Michigan, for instance. The Automobile | Club is sponsoring a petition to reduce | gasoline taxes and motor vehicle reere | tion fees. from driving their cars, from buying new } machines, argues the club. taxes, put cars on the road, revenue in the | treasury, and business in the automobile | factories, it advises. The club has been obtaining. sig- natures for its petition at gasoline filling ; stations, the logical place every motorist ! stops for supplies sooner or later. Indica-. tions now are, according to recent reports, that more than the legally sufficient num- , ber of signatures has been obtained. | Officialdom, however, doesn’t, like the | idea. Road commissioners have notified | filling station proprietors to “pull in those | petition blanks or lose government busi- | ness.” A recent news item from the capi- tol at Lansing said oil company representa- tives would be called to a confereftce with state officials and told plainly that unless | the petition was withdrawn from circula- tion they would be prohibited from bidding for state business. The governor said he wouldn’t attend, but warned that if these taxes are reduced, the taxpayers might ex- | pect substitute levies! Shades of Washington, Jefferson, | Hancock, and Adams, to say nothing of | Roosevelts, past and present! What is this country coming to when elected officials tell those who electéd them to office they cannot have tax reduction? What is of- ficialdom coming to that it assumes the | authority to tell business whether it shall accommodate its customers? If the situation in Michigan is any in- dication, office holders are notin the mood for tax reduction. Evidently they will in- | sist that the taxpayers shall pay and pay i and pay. And upon what then will the! taxpayers insist? Well, it looks as if re- gardless of whatever they decide to insist | upon they'd better get started or official- | dom will be telling them they can’t even decide to insist! | | j | i pees Ifrom Florida to the TAXES OR TRADE, WHICH? | The problems of government never have been solved merely by increasing taxes. Nation after nation has tried that method, and their failures have written the | pages of history, It was not that their peo- | ple were lacking i in patriotism, but rather that self-preservation is the first nature, and when it came to a show-down the people preferred their own security to | that of the government. | These failures should be sufficient | ‘warning to our modern legislators that in- creasing federal, state, and local taxes is not the way out. There is danger, how-} ever, that they will attempt to follow the higher tax route.’ Another Congress and 44 state legislatures soon will be in session. | Indications already are that every one of | them will seek new or greater: revenues. | The chances are that new taxes will be im- | posed, old taxes increased, or both: law of; | t taxed $55.49 per capita in 1932. Motorists were taxed $44.48 per capita extra, or! $99.97 in all. Complete figures on all} | taxes are not available for 1938, but taxes | on gasoline alone amounted to $700,000,- ; 000. It is interesting to note that $700,- | 000,000 also Was thé amount of money ; spent for electric power in 1933. That brings up the point whether it is advisable for people to continue spending | a large share 6f their ,income for taxes, | which now take more than 20 per cent of | income, or to spend it in trade. The $700,- | 000,000 spent for electrical energy created jobs, produced goods, accomplished work, and even created more tax revenue. The $700,000,000 in gasoline taxes accom- plished some beneficial results, of course, but also it has led government to look for another $700,000,000 this year, or even : | lem of the day—money for trade or taxes. | which? » Where force prevails right perishes.
