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.

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

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.

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. By selling
circulation and advertising at pre

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.

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

towns than were farms five and

roads.
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.
