SUPPLY AJS'D DEMAND
;s Schooled in the law of supply and demand, which, in
theory,' "proves that the larger the supply the lower tho
price, Americans fail to find an explanation for the fact that
Ihe 1924 bumper wheat crop in this country brought the
; highest price since the war Rnd that the 1924 record pro
duction of gasoline was distributed at top prices. Such ob
jyiously illogical happenings, when unoxplained, are apt to
arouse the public to indignation and suspicion;
' .. It may develop at times that the American people over
look the relation of their country to the rest of the world,
with tho result that suspicions are entertained and charges
inado unjustly. Any analysis of production, consumption'
nnd price figures for the United States must take into no'
count foreign trade nnd conditions. There was only one'
explanation for tho February rise in the wheat price in tho
United States crop failures in Canada and Europe created
nn abnonnal demand for United States wheat and absorbed
all of the surplus of this country. I
......This country produced 8,9(),00),000 gallons of gasoline
in J924. This production represented an increase of 1,500,-'
000,000 gallon's over that of 192:3. The average coiisuniption
of gasJline in 1924 in this country was 21 ,000,000 gallons
u week, an increase of 16 per cent over the 1923 consump
tion, The foreign demand for American gasoline also in-1
creased last year. Do the increased domestic and foreign
consumption more than counteract tho increased production,
or is there some other reason for the prevailing high piicc3
for gasoline? ,,
: . ? DISCOURAGING EVASION
High taxes are a constant temnljitimi in nvneion ti,
federal surtaxes of the war and post-war ieriods have led I
many to resort to every conceivable method of evasion. The :j.
law is full of loopholes, imposing a tremendous task upon ' i
the internal revenue bureau nnd making a 10(1 per cent
assessment nnd collection impossible,
Because the public recognizes the duty placed upon Uh'
bureau Senator Couzons loses just so much public suppi.il
for his tax investigation when he interjects into his iu-!
tacks on Secretary Mellon and the revenue bureau inuendn1 '
or open charges of connivance iit falsification of returns'':
and laxity. Hut when he charges that mistakes have Ikm-i ' ;
made or that the treasury department lias erred in" tho''
exorcise of its ' discretionary powers, that is n different! '
matter. . '
It has been disclosed that then. i;i
department a di.srrolimmr.v power easily capaMe of alm.se--'
the arbitrary exercise of whirl, mivnw ,nrr.. r !
Hons of dollars one way or the other. If there has bc.-n J '
misuse of this power then congress and the people are en

way to discourage evasion. Hack taxes are just as good .
as any other. i
