- The sales tax will never be a popu
lar measure, for the reason that no
tax is ever a popular measure. Yet
it has the aspect of being about the
only tax that will ever reach all the
'people in proportion to their wealth
The man of small means would suf
fer less than his more fortunate
neighbor because ho has less buying
power. The well-to-do lover of lux
ury and the profligate spender would
quite properly be mulcted by the gov
ernment, and such a tax during the
nation's recent era of extravagance
might have had a salutary effect.
r.,nirresj is just now sidestepping
the sales tax, but may be expected
eventually to impose it since the
nation must have money from some
where. However, should it impose
the sales tax as a substitute for the
excess profits tax, the Common Peo
ple may not unnaturally get the no
tion that they have been double
crossed, and four years from now re
verse their decision of November.

The progressives may not have
gotten much of anywhere politically,
but they're a cheerful and hopeful
lot. Just now they are concerned
with a superlatively ambitious pro
gram, according to William Allen
White. He says: "To jiggle down
easily, evenly, firmly, the self-respect
which the big guns blew into the
world, and make the world run
smoothly, normally, under the exist
ing political institutions, and to
keep civilization a going concern,
paying its regular dividends in
health, education, probity and eight
percent on the investment, is the job
of the progressive."
"The fact that President Wilson,
who has had no special experience in
this noble profession, wa offered
$130,000 for one newspaper article,
may give the public oma idea of
what we regular editors get."

The Telephone in
Business
"PhY FAR the greater proportion of business today in this
country is transacted by telephone. It has become the or
dinary means of securing prompt and satisfactory results in
the business world. Many business firms are extending the use
of the telephone to include their transactions over the entire
territory they serve. Buying and selling by long distance tele
phone is bringing satisfactory results wherever tried.
The essential thing in sales work is service to your patrons.
Use of long distance lines will increase the efficiency of your
service and the expense will be less.
For service to all points ask for Pacific Long Distance.
