A Christmas Red Cross seal improves the appearance
of any letter or package at this time of 'year and aids
a wonderful cause.
Toys of a year ago are often worn out and broken.
More often they are discarded, the good with the bad,
thrown aside by a growing child with changing desires.
How many of them could be rejuvenated and passed on this
Christmas to loss fortunate children of the community who
would find in them the holiday joy' and happiness they
have learned to eternally hope for? People with a surplus
of old toys have a chance to show the true Christmas
Spirit by distributing them where they will find new ap
preciation.' Give them to charitable agencies or to worthy
individuals either effart will be worth while. ,
IJANISHING ALL TAXES.
The Observer has a letter from an Oakland, Oregon,
resident, prompted by a recent reprinted editorial comment
regarding" InSe's in wlifch lie Volild ?rfeJ V means of find
ing the solution for our tax ills. He charges us to tell the
people "if they will read a little book by W. II. Harvey,
'Paul's School of Statesmanship', they will learn how taxes
can bp forever banished from the world.'' He says further
that "we have paid taxes for G000 years is it not long
enough?" "
We doubt if the writer of that letter means -exactly
what ho says, because if he does, we have discovered a
rare specimen these days a citizen who sincerely believes
that taxes are an unnecessary part of government and who
has some pet theory by which all such burdens could be
abolished. What he. really means, we imagine, is that all
properly taxes could be abolished, thereby requiring uni
versal application of income and inheritance taxes and spe
cial taxes to raise funds for the carrying on of government.
The marvelous little book to which ho refers has never
been brought to our attention to the extent that we could
read its tax solution, but whatever theory is propounded
the precedents of tax methods established in the last 0000
years would doubtless make it slightly difficult, to say the
.luist. Economists agree quite generally that our system
of property taxes is unfair and that universal application,
m .all units of government, of the principles of income
taxation would more equitably distribute our burden. A
serious difficulty arises, however, when we seek to apply
them within one unit and retain property taxes in another.
The time will come, we believe, (and before another 0000
years pass) when uniformity in the adoption of a new sys
tem will be possible, but we can hhrdly predict the Utopian
condition anticipated by our Oakland writer when all taxes
will be banished from the world. What would remain to
"crab" about if such a thing happened?
