EDITORIAL
We presume we'll see more about that Chinese-Japanese
war in the dailies since the “big” war has been called off, for
the present at least.
In spite of all the modern safety and theft devices on au-
tomobiles, nearly 500 were stolen in Pennsylvania during
August and 202 were recovered. Of course some were stolen
because the owners carelessly failed to remove their keys.
it pays to be careful.
Another illustration of what can be accomplished by nerve,
perseverance or in the words of our late County Superin-
tendent M. J. Brecht, “stick-to-it-iveness™ may be seen in the
Chicago Cubs, who just won the National League pennant.
One raonth ago they were so far behind the Pittsburgh Pir-
ates that everybody but the Cubs conceded them the pennant.
Even the hotels at Pittsburgh began selling reservations for
the World’s Series.
Permit the expression which best illustrates the Cubs de-
termination—they had the GUTS.
The Supreme Court in session at Pittsburgh gave the New
Dealers another good stiff kick in the pants Monday. Two of
the hurriedly passed Earle laws were nullified and Attorney
General Guy Bard was barred from participating in the hear-
ing and this isn’t ‘hearsay’ either.
This decision paves the way for the Grand Jury to resume
the probe into the graft charges. When this starts you'll hear
some entirely different questions asked witnesses from the
ones the present “investigators” are meckly trying NOT to
bring out any real evidence.
FARM RELIEF FAILS AGAIN
Paul Mallon expressed the view of most informed com-
mentators when he wrote in a recent column: “The Farm act
.....is becoming so evident that many of Mr. Wallace’s men
will now er privately they do not see how the situation
can be workecd§out next year on the same basis.”
\This has been the unhappy experience of most farm acts
of the past, no mdtter how sincerely inspired or efficiently
administered. Time has again proven the old adage that
“self-help is the best help,” and that goes for the farmer as
well as everyone else. If agriculture looks to political pan-
aceas for permanent benefits, it will be foredoomed to disap-
pointment. Real farm progress is coming from activities in-
stigated and controlled by the farmers themselves, such as
non-political farm marketing cooperatives which apply sound
business principles to farm operation.
THE “BIGGEST” BUSINESS—TAX COLLECTING
Tax collecting has become a big business in this country.
According to a recent study, the national tax bill has in-
creased 76 per cent in the past six years. Almost 24 per cent
of our total national income is today consumed by branches
of government. And, believe it or not, there are more than
175,369 taxing bodies in the United States, with an army of
3,000,000 employes.
Needless to say, this legion of tax gatherers doesn’t exist
simply to mulct the business or the individual with large
means, whose salary or income is in the upper income tax
brackets. It exists primarily to tax the little fellow—and to
tax him deviously, through hidden, indirect levies assessed
against every necessity of life. When you pay a $3 electric
bill, you are paying 52 cents in taxes—and the fact that the
electric company, instead of you, actually hands the money
over to the tax collector doesn’t lessen the burden. When
you buy a 25-cent tube of toothpaste, you pay six cents in
taxes. When you buy a 10-cent loaf of bread you pay 2V;
cents in taxes. When you pay a $40 rent bill, you pay $10 in
taxes. So it goes down an endless list.
What it all amounts to is this: If you earn $18 a week and
own no taxable property, you still pay $112 a year— 12 per
cent of your hard-earned wages—in taxes. If you are a white-
collar worker with a $150 salary, you pay $220 a year in taxes
— which means, to put it another way, that you work a
month and a half for government.
Get over the delusion that the rich pay the tax bill. There
aren’t enough rich, even if every dime they earned were con-
fiscated by government. In 1937, 70 per cent of all tax re-
ceipts represented hidden taxes. These are the taxes you pay
every day of your life—when you eat a meal, ride in your
automobile, go to a movie, buy a shirt and a necktie, or do
anything else. More and more of them are being levied each
year. So never forget that taxation is your own personal
problem, on whose reasonable solution your own welfare is
vitally dependent.
