Bible Verse for Today Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. Psalms 119:140 Heavy Additional Burden Should Government Take Over Railroads. WASHINGTON.—Many students of government in Washington expect soon to see President Roosevelt brought face to face with the question of whether the railroads shrill be pre served as assets of private business in this country or whether they shall he swallowed up In the rapidly ex panding structure of government. In deed, according to the best informed sources here, it is not unlikely that the railroads and private business in I terests soon may demand that the President state Ids position either for or against The President has not said anything indicating his attitude. On the record of the past, however, some observers believe he would not be averse to tak ing over the railroads. These point to the many experiments width he has authorized in the field of government ownership and operation of various types of business. Hut certainly it can be said that private ownership advo cates are alarmed concerning the trend of affairs. It is not surprising then that vari ous groups and organizations opposed to government ownership are becom ing active. Their expressed fear nat urally is that tiie government will de stroy their businesses by the simple process of taking them over. Nor is it surprising to observers that taxpay ers are becoming exercised because taxpayers naturally are averse to any additional burdens, Foresee,New Taxes. In the case of the taxpayers, acqui sition of the railroads would mean new taxation to pay the interest on the government railroad bonds, not to mention the necessity of raising funds .for retirement of those bonds when they mature. Some authorities recent- ly have stressed also the additional expense of government incident to the operation of the rail lines. This ex pense, it Is said, would be measured by tbe nan ' !,pr of i j0lit!cal l° b s cre ated by the legislation authorizing pur chase of the mads. over the railroads during ? eve i a ,- "if 1 *; ly paid omcuils immediately attached to the government payrolls under the director general of railroads, it was said then that these officials were neees J the World „ ...... sary for protection of the government s interests. It is to be remembered In this connection that in those days fhe condition was one of government op eration; under the current agitation, the condition would be one of govern nient ownership as well as operation. I This Question of taxation is admit They recognize that, for the govern ment to buy the railroads, it means adding a stag] debt, already i)00. taxpayers must cough up enough ex tra funds to pay the Interest on the debt as well as taxes for retirement of the bonds. taring sum to the national more than $27,200,000, They are aware that it means Cit: to Lose Taxes. Honed to any extent in argument ei ership. This factor involves the taxes now being collected from the railroads Eut there Is another factor in the way of taxes. It has not been men (her for or against government own by the states, cities, and counties and other taxing Jurisdictions. These are funds which will be lost to those tax ing jurisdictions if and when the rail roads are taken over by the federal government for the reason that federal property is not subject to taxation, Thus, if there is government own ership of the railroads it Is calculated by Interstate Commerce Commission experts that the federal government. states, a total of approximately $280,000,(XX), Manually. Certainly the loss of so much income by the treasuries of those jurisdictions will make it difficult for I Hem to pay their own operating ex penses. In other words, they will have to raise tax rates on their citizens who already will have been subjected to increased federal taxation to meet the Interest and sinking fund for the gov ernment railroad bonds. The signiflcance of this threat to the treasuries of taxing districts, whether they be states or lesser subdivisions, becouies the more apparent in the opinion of authorities when it is re called that during this depression pe riod more than four hundred issues of bonds sold by municipalities, coun ! îles, road districts, levy districts and school districts and other such units have gone into default. The condition was so bad that congress enacted what has come to be known as the munici pal bankruptcy bill. This law gives taxing districts the authority to com promise their debts witli the bond holders, wide throughout tiie country, but in compromising the debts in every In stance of record thus far the bond holders have taken losses ranging from 5% to more than 20%. In the case of holders of municipal bonds and other securities of that kind it is not fiction that thousands of wid ows and orphans own securities issued by such units of government. If the income of those units of government is cut off or measurably reduced the authorities point out how their buying power obviously would be reduced or altogether eliminated. who are scattered far and VWWJVWVVVVVVVVWVUVW\nA/V(V\/W\'U »/WWWwwwwwwwwwv Jondahl's Bakery AND GROCERY Week End Specials Van Camps Pork & Beans, (3 cans for Gold Bar Individual cans of fruits, each School Boy Peanut Butter, 5-lb can Rolled Oats, 9-lb SacK, T.N.T.
