JUDGE LOVETT SHOWS HOW
HIGH TAXES HINDER MOVE
FOR BUSINESS REVIVAL
"I wish I could glvs you a real op
limlHtlo story rcgurdlng business con
ditions," suld Judge Roerbt a Lovett,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Union I'uclflo Bystoni, with head
quarters In New York City, on his ar
rival In Bull Luke yesterday morning,
Bays the Halt Luke Tribune.
"Business generally throughout the
country It, I believe. Improving, but
as reflected by railroad trafNc, the
ruto of Improvement la very slow, 1
believe, however, that It will bo prac
tically continuous, .though certainly
without any boom, at least until crops
are made and moved.
"The greatest damper upon business
revival and the greatest menace to the
return of prosperity In this country Is
taxation. I ain sure people generally
do not realize the seriousness of this
a.spect of the situation. Business Is
curried on for profit; men undertake j
new enterprises, employ lalwr and
lukc the risks, for profit; It la largely
iie surplus wealth of the. rich, invest
ed In enterprises carried on by others,
that affords most employment for la
bor outside of agriculture.
"Income surtaxra which take half
of the profit a man nukes, while leav.
lug him to sufTrr the lova alone, has
taken the heart out of many of the
men "who have hitherto ereated the
country's Btistncns. A man generally
ilsks his whole fortune when he en
gages In businetm and therefore he has
nud a notion that he is entitled to most
"f the profit. Younger men who 1'
hoped by great energy, new enterprise

m-e that possilllbty dwindling as ex
reNsive surtaxes tipcome a fixed policy

"Then, too. the process of common
ix'iise awem to be rrverwd In our base
f taxation. Instead of a premium on
f-ntrrprise and Industry by a lower Ih
n earned than invested Income, just
the opposite Is the law. A salary or
a profit made by personal effort Is
taxed the maximum rate under th
provision for surtaxes, while capital
rsrapes the tax altogether by being In
vitfd In municipal securities. Th.
r-ult is not only a sense of injustice

"But that Is not all not by hulf.
Tax-exempt "bond issues by village
town, city, county and state, with oth
er extravagances which attend waste
ful habits, are Increasing state and
municipal taxution to an extent that Is
truly alarming. I read a press dis
patch recently whereln one "state's
taxes had become so high that farm
ers, in many localities, could not af
ford to own their land and were liter
ally forfeiting It.
"Rnllronds are fooling it even more
nenvuy; and, or course this means
that It must ultimately be borne by
the country's business. The total tax-
ea paid by the Union Pacific Hystem
ten years ago that is, for the yeur
19H amounted to $4,180,098, while
the taxes paid for 1921, were $13,636.
073. Of this latter amount $3,830, r,76
was paid to the fedoral government,
wnereas. only $271,168 federal taxes
were paid ten years ago; and, of
course, there Is room for saying that
this should be excluded from the com
parison because it Mas, In effect, a
war tax. But excluding this federal
taxation, the state and other munlcl.
