By Rodney Bn
Will Rogers, who syndicates a, daily jest to
Bullions, says that the U. S. Chamber is telling Mr.
Mellon “ how to divide up the Government's four
hundred million surplus,” and that “ their mambers
should g e t; three hundred and ninety of the four
hundred millions.”
Aa a h«ny>wst, a gam chewer, and a s a rope
thrower,, we have nothing but admiration for Mr.
Rogers. As an economist and statistician we are less
certain o f Mm.
«
He teems somehow - to forget the 6,000,000,
stockholders whp make up not the financial few but
the financial many of this country of ours. He
seems to> forget the four hundred and odd thousand
corporations that are paying taxes as well as the
10,000 cq^pomtions which have a»mbeiish(ip of
some sort in the tJ. S. Chamber. He forgets, too,
that all other taxes have been reduced and that the
corporation taxes» unnecessarily high as they are,
are a clog and a burden on business.
To the more serious argument that we cannot
afford to reduce taxes since large appropriations
are sure to be asked for the Mississippi River Flood
Cogtroh the Boulder Dam, and a dozen more or
lest meritorious projects», this answer is sufficient.
None of these projects will cell for any great
immediate expenditure. The costs will- be laid over a
period oC years and with a w p ju a-oi. six hundred,
millions o f dollars ip. the Treasury we need* pot
wogsy about the pretiminary appropriations even
when we face a necessary tax cu t -
W A S H IN G TO N — Some of the
wets and some of the drys, who
regard prohibition as an im port­
ant national issue, are incensed
because the two political parties
are manifesting the sense degree
of enthusiasm toward grappling
w ith the question as the ordinary

One hears and reads t h e i r
sneers and Jeers e v iry day. B it­
ing remarks are made about the
"cowardice” and "Insincerity” of
the parties. Critics on both sides
advance the opinion that t h e
party which declared unequlvo-
callty for strict enforcement or
modification, as the Case may be,
would ride atop a landslide in
November. The ordinary cltisen
who is either very d et or very
dry seems to feel that way.
Am id all the hubbub, certain
pertinent facts are often obscur­
ed. The easiest answer to t h e
whole question, of course, is:

for either strict enforcement or

The most im portant fact is, to
the politicians, that while they
know th a t n- strong stand by
either party which was not dup­

the ballots of millions of voters,
it could -net be foretold
which
side wopld reap the most benefit.
