AMKftli AN IkhSS ASSOCIATION The Fly in Prospe rity's Ointment. OUTLINING the economic prospects for the new year. Secretary Hoover believes trie orld urill be on a more solid foundation in 1925 than at any time since the war. There has been a real advance, he says, in social, economic, and political sta bility. More goods are being pro duced, there is fuller employment, there are higher standards of liv ing, there is more assurance of economic stability, and more promise of peace than we have seen in many years. The world, he warns, is by no means free from liability to economic shock, "yet the forces in motion all tend to great promise for the forthcom ing year." Reviewing our own country. Secretary Hoover says the out standing economic improvement has been the very large recovery of agriculture after its two years' lag behind the recovery of indus try. The farmers, he says, have yet a large measure of losses in the last three years to recover, but their outlook is encouraging. The farmers' purchasing power, the Secretary says, is being remedied further by decrease in the price of industrial commodities. For industry we learn that the average wage remains stable at about 100 per cent above pre-war scale, while the cost of living re mains about equal to the cost for the last three years. All of this will be good news to employers and workers. The workers may look forward to continued em ployment at a higher wage, and the employers to a greater expan sin of trade. The hard nut to crack, of course, is the farmer. If he must work for the next three years to recover the losses of the last three years he is not likely to burst with joy because he is told the outlook is encouraging. The farmer needs more than encour agement. He needs to lead the movement towards prosperity, not to tag behind, and it behooves Washington to remember that fact. s-s-s Florida Kills Taxes. Dearborn Independent. THE people of Florida, voting six to one, have amended their State constitution to pro vide that the legislature may not levy a State income or inheritance tax. By making this amendment a part of the fundamental law, Florida takes a stand against the tendency toward confiscation that has appeared in this country. Florida knows that a State can grow only upon development and that excessive taxation dicourages development and eventually taxes the tax sources out of the State or out of existence. Already Florida is the winter home of thousands of well-to-do people from all parts of the coun try; but the State wants them to make their permanent home there. Her treasury does not need their income or inheritance taxes, but , . I ICERTAINW iS (I'M GLAD POP FOLKS JaSirm Vr.sK. in our vzrA J TOWN Edward r McCuIlough AVTOCA8TEH g causs cwre l TW' ONLY I S y TIME " the State itself needs capital for the building of roads, homes, schools, hotels, and apartment houses. In the belief that in creased developments and build ing operations will draw workers from other States, and thus add to the population, and that result ing increase of activity will pro duce a larger tax revenue than in come and inheritance taxes com bined, Florida voluntarily relin quishes revenue which he might easily obtain by levying these taxes. Most of our States collect in come and inheritance taxes, al though the people of Oregon re cently repealed their income tax law, and the voters of Michigan rejected a similar proposal. Most States are continually devising ways and means to take all they can get from their citizens in the form of taxes. The era of extrav agance which followed the war caused many States to raise to confiscatory proportions these two kinds of taxes. Florida's progress ive example is expected to pro duce a wholesome reaction on States that have gone to the op posite extreme, and to bring to the attention of the voters in these States the necessity for economy in State government. The only flaw in the Florida amendment, it would seem, is that at some future time Florida may wish to levy an income tax to tide her over an emergency. In that case, the amendment just passed would be an insuperable obstacle. s-s-s Another Chance to "Swat a Trust." National Republican. WILLIAM Randolph Hearst, who has achieved such suc cess as a journalist that he has become one of the outstanding publishers or our time, is an ad vocate of government ownership- Consistently he supports govern ment or political operation of Mus cle Shoals as a power plant and fertilizer factory. He imputes only evil motives to those who op pose this venture, and declares that opposition is inspired by the Power Trust. Mr. Hearst's position, as his declarations indicate, is inspired by devotion to the public good; a desire that the people of the South may have the benefit of cheaper power and cheapeer fer tilizer. The cooperation of this great publisher in still another venture in government or political opera tion is invited. We have with us not only the Power Trust, but the Newspaper and Magazine Trust. It is a very powerful trust, which is accused not only of getting too much money, but of controlling public opinion and polluting pub lic morals by excessive exploita tion of stories of vice. For less money than it will have invested in a politically operated power plant and fertilizer factory at Muscle Shoals the government could start daily newspapers in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities in wheih Mr. Hearst's Newspaper Trust is printing dailies. The Power Trust has not great ly increased rates during the past few years. Mr. Hearst's Newspa per Trust has increased by 200 per cent the selling price of a number of his daily publications and has doubled, trebled and quadrupled advertising rates. In order not to overlook any of the exactions of the trust, a few mag azines might also be started. It is true these publications might not pay, but in a govern mentally or politically operated enterprise there is always the op portunity to meet deficits out of the public treasury.

This is an enterprise of such promise to the down-trodden peo ple mat undoubtedly Mr. Hearst mill fall for it at once. He could not afford in such a matter to line up with the Minions of Plutoc racy. St mould undoubtedly work so well that the people would be encouraged to go on with the rest or Mr. Hearst s political owner ship program, which includes most of the enterprises Mr. Hearst does not happen to own. S-S-S A Welcome Visitor. T ITERATURE has her quacks JLj no less than medicine. As Walter Scott told us years ago, it is a great staff, but a sorry crutch. Its value is to those who use it rather than those who produce it. Profits may come to the producers of the terrible tabloid and the sensational periodical, but for the public there is another story. Those who love their literature will read with a glow of pleasure news that Dr. Albert Shaw, schol arly editor of the Review of Re views, is giving to the people of America a new publication The Golden Book in which is to be gathered for the people the prec ious metal of fiction, the stories we have always meant to read and never did. Not even the literary expert knows all these tales of adventure, of romance, of passion and of mystery, yet they are more gripping, more fascinating, more informative than anything to be found in current fiction. Owen Wister, Kipling, de Maupassant, Mark Twain, Anatole France, O. Henry, Charles Reade, Richard Harding Davis, Bret Harte, Oscar Wilde, Poe, Dumas and twenty others have written masterpieces in short fiction, which in the rush of the hour, nine Americans' out or every ten have missed. These delightful masterpieces of writing are to be selected and put into the Golden Book. These keen students of human nature and events have written into their literature romance that fires the imagination, stories that stir the blood. Balzac s treat ment of the subtleties of sex has never been equalled. The Gold en Book will be a welcome visitor in hundreds of thousands of homes. S-S-S Sandbagging the Motorist The Manufacturer. OREGON started with a 2-cent gas tax, raised it to three, and is now proposing to increase it to six cents a gallon, in the com ing session of the legislature, on the theory that by so doing, auto mobile licenses can be reduced and the heaviest tax load be plac ed on those who use the road the most. California adopted a two-cent gasoline tax two years ago and reduced the license fee to a flat price of $3. Now it is proposed to increase the gas tax to three or four cents a gallon and the license tax to $5 on all motor cars. Gasoline and motor car taxes have spread like wild fire over the nation. Tax gatherers have found it easier to raise money from this source than from any other. The claim is that the motorist derives all the benefit of good roads; therefore he should pay the bill. This is unsound reason ing. Nobody derives greater ben efit from good highways than do the towns along the highways, the farms adjacent to them and coun try tributary to such paved roads. Land, 10 to 30 miles from a trading center, which was almost worthless before hard surfaced highways were built, is today more accessible to market and and Ball, 3ao.

What has enabled local land lords in every town along a main trunk . highway to double and treble their rents in tt past few years paved roads principally. wnicn nave brought ten people to town where one came before. The gas tax is nothing but an expediency tax adopted because it is the easiest way to raise money and because superficial arguments in its favor seem plausible to the public. It is not equal taxation and no argument can make it so. So long as it was kept within reason, it was tolerated just as was the tea tax prior to the revo lution. Not satisfied with moder ation, however, Oregon is facing a tax of six cents a gallon on gas. Why not make it ten cents a gallon or htteen cents a gallon and re move all annual automobile li cense taxes? The theory that the gas tax will make the tourist pay more money in the state will act as a boome rang. The tourists who now spend millions in each of the coast states will rebel at exorbitant gas taxes and as Florida has repealed its inheritance tax to attract capital to that state, so will other states repeal their gas taxes in order to attract tourists away from states which sandbag them the minute they cross the state line. The public wants tax reduction and it wants equal taxation. Shift ing taxes from one shoulder to the other or from one class of cit izens to another class, while con stantly collecting a larger aggre gate amo'unt per capita, is simply piling up trouble for the future. Under the proposal in Oregon a Ford would pay a 60-cent state tax every time 10 gallons of gas was put in its tank. S-S-S SHEEP OWNERS ATTENTION.
