THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

At ATCH THE 1 AXES I President Hoover, in his address at [ Indianapolis recently, once more call-; led attention ;o the tax situation, ; stating in part: “ i he experiences of this depression indeed demand that the nation carefully and deliberately reconsider the w-h le national and local problem of the incidence of taxation. “The undue proportion of taxes w hich falls u yon farmers, homeowners and all real property holders as compared to [other forms of wealth demands real relief.” To all.qf. which the average Amer-I ican citizen will agree in its entirety. There can be little question that the problem of mounting taxes is one which seriously concerns every American citizen. In periods of depression commodity prices-go down, but taxes do not. The tendency is still upward and the average citizen has to pay his taxes in dollars which are worth a ■great deal more than they were ten years, ago. It is .an obvious fact that local taxes more directly concern- the small real property holder. It is therefore equally true that tax reform ought to begin at. home w here most of the ' money raised by local taxation is j spent. There must be more scientific I budgeting, more economy. and a i more efficient expenditure of the public money. j Most of our enterprising American | communities like to attract new in-i I dustries, like to be pointed out aS; >wi::., <• ■:>. n. unities. Now nothing {will attract manufacturers looking’ fi ? a location more than a low local tax rate. The Oakland, Calif., Posti Inquirer recently referred to this fact editorially in the following terse ! language: “Lower taxes will mean higher local prosperity. j “The people of this community are ■ struggling under a tax burden much ;too heavy. ' I j “This high tax load has reached a ' ' pojr.’ wheue it threatens to handicap the development of the community, ft is certainly a handicap to individual al bank accounts. _ " “To decrease taxes would bp a sure way to increase business, to stimulate. ’ building operations, to relieve unemployment. ■ » i “Lower taxes is the most important question now confronting this ■ community. “Excessively high tax rates do mean. ■ in the end lower total income from values, they discourage new building,

I they frighten home owners, | men and industries away from a com | munity. They cut down the am >un and value of the property that ban b» taxed. “Private business is finding ways t< lower costs, fixed and otherwise wit! out lower efficiency, and in the en< that may be the depression’s grea blessing in disguise for private bus Finess. Perhaps the same thing. Will be i true of public, business.” There is a great deal of truth ir this. Lower taxes mean not onl. greater savings to the real estate >wr. 1 er, but a prosperous, progressive am [ growing community. The money sax ed from tax paying is put into c.rci l:\tion otherwise, and adds to the gei era! amount_of local business. Whi, we need is not new sources and nev methods of raising taxes, but greate. economy and less money going inti [ taxes. { . ’ o-— — ELECTION OF OFFICERS The Church of the Brethren a No Webster held an election of officer: Sum.ay. The results were that Wm Tooly and David Stull were called t< the deacon’s . office. Elder Cris Metzler of Wakarusa, treasurer oi ’ the Mission Board, had clliargt i of the service. He called these, met w ith their wives into, their respectivt . offices. Hugh Warstler, being an ordainef; minister, his wife was also ins. al let into her rightful position. — —o : .■ P \CIFISM AND PIFFLE AnTerjcan advocates of the League of Nations there are still a few should read, a recent 'statement by Gem Douglas Mac Arthur, chief .of , staff of the Unifed States army . General MacArthur says: i “Under the terms of the League of Nations, the United States would be I required to .maintain. a standing army of at least half a 'million men in order to be able, to carry out its mandates.” . ■ .. . . This would be nearly four times the present strength of the American army. It would be nearly nine times its present combat -strength. Paciflstic gentlemen who want us in ’ the League so that we can reduce armaments, w ill have to think up another one. General Mac Arthur has handed their pet argument a sock In the jaw. Washington Times. — —«-u r- ' Mr Shouse blames our tariff because Americans have built several ‘ hundred branch plants in Canada. Mr, Shouse is; laboring under a delusion, It is not our tariff but the Canadian ' tariff which protpyts Canadian market against outside coinpetition. | ■ 0 Andy Mellon says he didn't go to Europe on business. How many nten ! are brave enough to tell the truth Hike that?
