THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WILL always seek the truth and print it without fear and without favor; never be efraid to attack wrong or to applaud right; always fight for progress; never be the or- gan or the mouthpiece of any person, clique, faction or a detailed survey of tax returns The federal taxes to be covered in this survey are the income tax, the so- called “nuisance” taxes such as those on cosmetics and amusements, and the liquor taxes. Two purposes are given in expla- nation of this survey. in addition to that of providing work for certain members of the white collar group These are, first, the improvement of the existing tax system and, second. the possibility of new taxes Taxpay- ers will be justified in believing th this is little more than saying the same thing in two ways.

I’ is a singular, and at the same time a distressing fact, that govern- mental agencies are always more ready to provide funds to survey tax systems and to discover new taxes, than they are to finance studies of the possibilities of improving gov- ernmental organization and thus of reducing public expenditures. Yet no one can sucvessfully refute the prop- osition that taxes are too high, that their excessive burden is a restrictive influence on economic activity, and that our most urgent go\>rnmental problem is the discovery of the means of reducing taxes. More than a century ago a gallant naval officer told an insolent Bar- bary pirate chief that we had mil- lions for defense but not one cent for tribute. Adapting this sentiment to the present situation, it appears that we have millions for surveys designed to bring in more taxes but not one cent for the study of how to get along with less taxation. A vicious circle is thus maintained. | Excessive taxation curbs enterprise |and hampers economic growth. In- dustry and trade cannot absorb the unemployed while pulling against the drag of exorbitant governmental costs.
