In many of the country towns the movie drop curtain has a greater incoma each week from merchants than the newspaper. In political campaigns it is absorbing large shares of the campaign funds of candidates and parties and meas ures. The small amount spent for advertising its shows in the country weeklies does not compensate for what it takes away. The movie is becoming the rival power that can get publicity for itself without using the newspaper and can exist without them. That is its boast. But there is a fly in the ointment. There are more bills in the legislatures to regulate movies than ever, before. - - They are accused by the pulpit of causing the. wave of crime and holdups-that has swept the country from Maine to San Diego. ' Chaos Would Result - The public schools take a vacation of three months every year and nothing happens. The police force and fire department go on their an nual picnics and balls and things run along as usual. The city paving isn't improved over long periods, or the public library may close or the public parks allowed to go to ruin and the public isn't injured. But let the electric lights go out for a few hours and there is actual suffering and much crime. Let the water works stop and soon there are parched tongues and dis ease. Let the telephone suspend and there is chaos and loss of business. Let transportation in a city stop and thousands are thrown out of work and the hardship is in tense. Turn out the gas and we go back fifty years in our civilization. Well sustained public utilities mean a happy and prosperous community. They pay taxes while the politicians increase táx burdens. Tax Dodging Encouraged f It is unfortunate that in order to pass what is often a meritorious piece of legislation, an entirley unfair and unnecessary clause will be inserted, which is a direct handicap to existing business. . The Federal Farm Loan Act offers a perfect illustra tion of such legislation. The theory of the Act was good-namely to furnish encouragement and assistance for farm developement. But the bonds sold under the Act to supply the money for loaning were made entirely tax exempt. No kind of taxes whatsoever can be charged the owner of the bonds. This feature of the Act should be remedied as it is unfair to all other lines of industry which must compete in the open market for money and whose securities are subject to every known form of taxation. If Federal Farm Loan Bonds were taxed the same as other bonds, it would not interfere with working of the Act and the farmers would still secure money under the favorable terms of the Act. Taxation of these bonds would, however, prevent hundreds of millions of dollars being withdrawn from the balance of the public to make up in taxation what they should be paying. The White Man s Burden Practically every western state is facing for this year me greatest tax Din on record. In many instances, the tax nas Deen doubled and trebled in the past six years. ; industry will be called upon to pay this burden and there is no way to get out of it, for the bill has been con tracted. , The people are largely.to blame for the present state of affairs and they will get no relief until by their voice expressed at elections they have the courage- to demand tax reduction and to hold public officials to campaign pledges for economy. Further, the citizen must get out and ' vote for men and measures which guarantee economy. If this is not done our tax burdens will grow until it will take special deputies to hunt down individuals and confiscate their property, if they have any, to meet the tax bills. This is not an exaggerated picture. That the power to tax is the power to destroy has been already well illustrated and taxation today is the great est single item which prevents and will prevent a return to pre-war conditions. Inasmuch as we have an enorm ous war tax bill to pay in addition to our other taxes, it is all the more necessary that a reduction in local tax rolls be demanded and secured.
