Surtaxes and the Exempts
Publication of income tax reports shows that many "of our
wealthiest people pay little or nothing to the government.
That is because, in a majority of instances, the income is
derived from investments in tax-exempt securities, such as
those issued by states, districts and cities, which cannot be
taxed without constitutional amendment. There are from
twelve to fifteen billions of such securities issued, mostly in
the hands of wealthy people.
These securities bear lower interest than industrial or
other investments, but many times the loss in interest is
saved in income taxation, which through surtaxes, take as
high as half the income. As a consequence, capital that
should be invested in industry and development is with
drawn for exempt securities.
In this way the high surtax defeats its purpose, for the
government is by it, losing the revenue it would otherwise
have which would reduce taxation. The direct effect of
cinching the rich has been to scatter and conceal wealth, with
the result that there are fewer big taxpayers, each year,
despite the increase in wealth.
The Treasury's policy is to diminish the surtax to such an
extent that it will not make deductions for taxes more than
two percent, so that a six percent investment, when the tax
is paid, will be equivalent to a four percent tax-exempt
investment instead of less than three percent as at present.
This would assist business development by attracting capital
'from the exempt securities.
Those publications of the income tax payments are con
vincing argument that a state income tax will not reach the
tax-dodgers but increase them, for the income tax does not
hit the idle rich, who escape via the exempts, but industry
and development, which already, bearing most of the property
and personal tax, are doubly penalized, not only in taxation,
but in obtaining necessary capital.
Bryan No Kluxer
No sooner was William Jennings Bryan dead than Ku
Klux Klan services for the purposes of mcmoralizing him
were held throughout the east advertising what was claimed
to be his association with the organization. On the day of
tha funeral, fiery crosses were burned in many sections as a
tribute to his memory as "a great Klansman," a monster
floral tribute received for the interment at Washington and
a little later a wreath was laid on his grave at Arlington
during the big Klan demonstration.
As a result of these klan claims and of inquiries by fol
lowers, flat denials have been issued by the son and widow
of the Commoner that the late William Jennings Bryan was
a member of the Ku Klux Klan at the time of his death or at
any other time, or in any way associated with the order.
It is a mean advantage to take of the helpless dead, to
slander them for advertising purposes, but in keeping with
klan propaganda to impress the boobs. Mr. Bryan was not the
only victim, for when President Harding died, klan lecturers
made the public statement that a klan initiation had lately
taken place in the White House itself, adding "you know
what that means." Flat denial was made at the time that
any such ceremony had taken place or that Mr. Harding was
a member of the order.
"I had no Idea that you were
hart, or you'd not havo been kept
waiting," he exclaimed, taking; her
hand cordially. "Come In come In
at once."
She went, too much embarrass
ed to realize that Keith had just
stepped out of the elevator and
wrm ataring at her blankly.
In his own office, Hewitt drew
a chatr for her near his own, and
Bitting down, beamed upon her,
"I was no afraid that you
wouldn't set In touch with me!" he
exclaimed. "And I regretted not
having Insisted that you lot me
know where your sister lives, no
that I could get la touch with you.
It is good to see you again,
"I'm glnd to see you, too," she
answered honestly; "I've done
perfoctly dreadful thing, and
want to tell you about it and beg
your forgiveness. Truly, I haven't
the slightest Idea how I happened
to do it. My brother-in-law was
talking about the prospect of your
building a branch railroad In the
xvcat, saying that he'd glvo any
thing to know what you intended
to do and X told him what you
had said to me on the train, about
building one. Isn't that dreadful?"
Ilia expression changed, grew
sharper. "What's your brother-in-law's
name? And just where
was the road to be built?" ho de
manded.

UNIVERSITY EXPECTS
RECORD ENROLLMENT
University of Oregon, Eugene,
.Sept. 10 (Special) One thousand
and ninety-six new students have
applied for admission to tho Uni
versity of Oregon for the fall term.
a total of 144 In excess of the num
ber who applied for the fall term a
year ago, and exceeding the 19'Zd
record by 344, according to Carl
ton E. Spencer, registrar. The
number of applications and accept
ances indicate that total university
enrollment for 1925-26 will be
above 3000, creating a r.ew regis
tration record.
As applications of new students
will be accepted until registration
days, September 84 and 25, the
total la certain to exceed 1098, Mr.
Spencer says. Already the cre
dentials of 1017 new students have
been accepted by the entrance com
mittee, of which approximately
SG0 are freshmen. At this time
last year 843 new students had
been accepted, and in 1923, 679.
Tliis year's freshman class will set
a record.
The entrance committee has re
fused admission to numbers of ap
plicants either because they did
not meet university scholastic re
quirements or because, as non
residents, they could not qualify
for admission to the state univer
sities of their own states. To date,
forty of the forty-throe rejections
have been due to this rule.
