Debt, Says Hampton SSERTING that a federal tax upon estates, that is, upon the capital value of property, is essential to enable the government promptly to compel the wealthiest classes, who have profited most from the war, to pay their fair share of the costs of the war, George P. Hampton, managing director of the Farmers’ National council, in a state- ment on how to pay the cost of the war and current expenses of the gov- ernment, says that 33 people own nearly 2 per cent of the national wealth, “In’ 1918,” Mr. Hampton states, “22,696 millionaires were estimated by the eminent publicist, Richard Spillane, to own 27.2 per cent of the national wealth, or over $68,000,000,- 000, while the 33 richest Americans owned property ‘worth about $4,837,- 000,000, or roughly 2 per cent of the national wealth. In 1918 the national wealth was estimated to 'be $250,000,- 000,000. It is now estimated to be $500,000,000,000. OQOur 23,000 million- aires are probably worth now about $136,000,000,000, and the 33 richest Americans about $9,675,000,000. “If we estimate the net return on this property at only 5 per cent the average income of these 23,000 mil- lionaires is nearly $300,000. Of course many of them have invested largely in tax-exempt bonds and own a considerable portion of the $40,000,- 000,000 of such tax-exempt bonds. While a constitutional amendment would enable the government to tax the incomes of these individuals, it will take some time to adopt such an amendment. A direct tax, however, could be levied upon capital values, and should be promptly levied by con- gress instead of seeking some method of placing additional burdens of tax- ation through a retail sales tax, a general sales tax and other consump- tion taxes upon the hundreds of thou- sands of families who today are re- ceiving several hundreds of dollars less than they need to maintain the American standard of living. MILLIONAIRES COULD PAY DEBT TEN TIMES OVER “It will be noted,” Mr. Hampton comments, “that the 23,000 million- aires are worth nearly 10 times as much as our total national debt, ex- clusive of loans to the nations with which we were associated during the war.” Discussing the causes and results of this tremendous and dangerors concentration of wealth, Mr. Hampton says: “America financed the war largely by discounting the future, and the concentrated wealth of the coun- try is now making a concerted effort to evade its financial responsibilities and to make the workers pay most of the war costs through a retail sales tax and other sales taxes and similar consumption taxes. “A retail sales tax and other sales taxes and all similar taxes on food, clothing and shelter, called consump- tion taxes, must be paid off chiefly by the workers on the farms, in fac- tories, mines and transportation, mil- lions of whom are getting less than the minimum wage necessary to main- tain a family on a decent American standard.” Mr. Hampton concludes: “The full money cost of the war must be paid ‘| by taxes on incomes, corporation prof- its, estates and privileges. Such taxes | will yield $7,000,000,000 to $8,000,000- 000 a year for many years without imposing any hardship upon any one.” R A A T T TR TN 1. o 5 A 5 055504 bt 3 PLANS FOR POULTRY HOUSES ADVERTISEMENTS 7-PIECE GENUINE BLLY Gut Glass Water Set B T b hos Rmbters real hand out, thin blown f!“‘l: e lass, Beautiful, 3“ ar ‘‘Vintage'’ de- 313'%’{?;‘&':3}3.:5:2? slclnrn col or il ot e £ s GATES MFG.

It combats the film which dims the teeth and causes most tooth troubles. See and feel the results. To millions they are bringing cleaner, safer, whiter teeth. The tooth wrecker Film is the great tooth wrecker. A viscous film clings to the teeth, en- ters crevices and stays. The ordinary tooth paste does not end it. Old ways of brushing leave much of it intact. And very few people have escaped the troubles which it causes. It is the film.coat that discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of- tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid, It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea —a disease now alarm- ingly common. A new dental era Dental science has now found ways to combat that film. The methods have been amply proved by years of careful tests. Now millions employ them. Leading dentists everywhere advise them. The methods are combined in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And, to let all know how much it means, a ten-day tube is being sent to all who ask, \ Five desired effects Pepsodent brings five desired ef- fects. It combats the teeth’s great enemies as nothing has done before. One ingredient is pepsin. Another multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that cling. The saliva’s alkalinity is mul- tiplied also. That to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. Two factors directly attack the film, One of them keeps teeth so highly polished that film cannot easily Pepsadénd The New-Day Dentifrice A scientific film combatant com- bined with two othermodernreq- uisites.
