It is amazing how many excuses a stingy man can find for not making a do- | nation to a worthy cause. If the war keeps on and the govern- ment is going to contrél everything, it should start controlling our unruly youth, The adult who is not interesting in im- proving the opportunities that exist for young people is not a credit to the human race. ~-Few people drop five dollar bills into | the collection plate at church without see- ng that the giver is properly identified. | One-way is to write a check and since checks are not generally written for: very small | amounts, the donor is given credit for a big donation. ‘The peace that is to follow the prestnt | war should be a peace without vengeance, and if such a peace is made known to the world now it will bring about the desired peace sooner, If adhered to in the negotia- tions, the peace to follow will last much longer than one based on vengeance. The world is getting older and learning with age. : The excessive love of parentg for their | children is often detrimental to them, par- | ticularly when not balanced by redsan:’ The | result is a spoiled child, made miserable | through life by the pampering of the parents. Reading the life of Father Joseph, | the alter ego of Cardinal Richelieu, we find | Sf general insolvents new, you read an amazing story | order grow out of the muddled tax affairs ‘of the two government subdivisions. F After more than 25 years of the utter- ly unjustifiable insolvency affidavit racket, “hounced early in the week that he had Te- forced to issue only two warrants. And both those served with warrants have since paid up. : jOut of all the factors which contri- ' bi to break down the county tax sys- tem here, the insolvency affidavit is one of the most outstanding. For, although it has | been on the decline for the past several “Years, use of the insolvency story was a | contributor in the tax evasion racket here which aided in making tax collection a joke | / and the taxpayer a sucker. | Looking back over the records of the —amazing both because the property own- { ers were permitted to take refuge in such a dodge, and because they were willing to put their names on such a list. You read ip those records of men who. operate successful businesses swearing they were insglvent in order to avoid payment'of | $1.50 and $2.00 taxes. In the past two tax rolls, the list was small, but looking at some county emerged with anything. In 1937 the list shows 111 insolvent business men | here, in 1936, 106 of them, and so on back. | it is true that many business men here in past years have been saddled with too much property and too little money, but it remains unbelievable that they could not ‘sell something to avoid classifying them- selves with bankrupts, and in the final analysis, with incompetents. We hope those particular “good old days” don't come back. MEXICO’S EXPORT TAX One of the neatest tricks that has come out of Mexico in quite awhile is the - pro- posal by the head of the Bank of Mexico, Senor Eduardo Villasenor that the United States government as a token of friendship | for the Mexican government should remove ‘the tariff on the 16 major imports into the United States from Mexico (including 11 strategic minerals now sold exclusively to the United States-, and that the Mexican government should in return impose export | duties of exactly the same amount. Senor Villasenor points out that in this manner theie would be no change in the prices of the goods nor in the protection afforded to American producers. . In other words, Mex- iean products would not compete with Am- erican products. would be that a sum of from 21 million to 25,C00,000 dollars which the American government heretofore has collected on such shipments would be paid instead to the | Mexican treasury. _ Tnasmuch as-this sum — amounts. to about: one-fourth of the present’ budget ‘of the Mexican government it. would ‘be'a sab- stantial contribution to that government. The principle is an intriguing one. | ft might be called a tariff in reverse. It might be called a good neighbor act. “It might be called a lavish display of friendship. It might be money thrown away. It might be | called a raid on the U.S. Treasury. By any- It is; other-name it still smells the same. “one of the neatest tricks that has come out | of Mexico in quite awhile.”” Mexicans never | get enough, and whenever the United States | gives them an inch they want a mile. There is neither precedent nor Mexican budget and thereby share a fourth | of the cost of maintaining the Mexican gov- | ernment. If Mexico’s export tax trick were to be accepted and applied to other nations the governments of all beneficiary countries would in effect collect the revenues which | are now collected by the American Customs Officers. In Mexico’s case, what this proposal amounts to is that the Mexican government, | that at the early age of eight years, he beg- | having repudiated hundreds of millions of ged to be sent away to a boarding school H “on the ground that he was being spoilt by | his mother”, who apparently wanted to make a sissy out of him to which his childish | nuftiré rebelled even at so early an age.
