ENGLAND'S TAX
IS
RECOVERY HELP
Budget Balanced by Boost
ing Taxes and Cutting
Government Expenditures
No One Escapes Levy
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. "Great
Brit din faced a financial crisis In
1B31. She met It by balancing her
budget. She balanced her budget both
by decreasing expenditures and by in
creasing taxes. Grwit Britain's recov
ery sdnce 1031 has been more rapid
and sustained than oura.
"On the contrary, we have tried to
spend our way out of the depression
and In five years have increased our
national debt by over thirteen billion
dollars. New end Increased taxes are
Inevitable If our budget la to be bal
anced and a. beginning made on the
reduction of the debt. But If new
taxes are levied merely to make pos
sible greater expenditures the burden
on our national economy will be al
most unbearable."
In tills way John 0. Oebhert. Di
rector of Research of the National
Economy League, summarizes a com
parison of taxation In Great Britain
and the United States, made public
today by the League.
X. Roland Harrlman. managing
chairman of the League, In releasing
Mr. Oebhart's paper to the press,
pointed out that It represents a
wholly Impartial study of taxation In
the two countries undertaken before
congress was urged to consider the
pending tax bill. The league has at
no time endorsed any specific tax
. measure.
"Mr. Oebhart's tudy aatd Mr.
Harrlman, "whs undertaken for the
sole purpose of uncovering the facts
concerning taxation in Great Britain
and the United States under existing
law. It Is now made Avallible to the
prees In the hope that Its publication
will give the American people a clear
er understanding of taxation In Great
Britain, whose budget la In balance,
snd In the United States, which la go
ing farther and farther Into the red.
The comparison deeply Impressed lis
and for that reason la now made
available to the American public."
Mr. Harrlman recalled that on the
eve of the convening of the present
Congress the National Economy league
formally presented to the President
and the Congress a carefully prepared
and balanced budget for the fiscal
year which began July 1 and strongly
urged Its adoption.
Mr. oebhart's comparison indicates
that our English cousins prefer to
take their medicine straight. They
"know" they are paying taxes, but ere
doing so In order to keep their budget
In balance. On the other hand, the
bulk of the Internal revenue now re
ceived by the United States treasury
la In the form of Indirect tuxes.
John Bull, the study shown, while
placing very heavy taxes on the In
comes of those In the upper brackets
somewhat higher than present
American rate did not hesitate to
tax Incomes in the middle and even
the lower brackets. For example, e.
married Englishman with a net In
come of $3,000 pays (314.43 Into the
exchequer while an American In the
same claea pays a modest $18.60. If a
married Englishman without children
is fortunate enough to have a net In
come of 93.000 he must surrender
711.62. All American similarly situ
ated pays tHfl.OO.
The comparison shows that Indi
vidual Income tax collections. Includ
ing surtax. In the United States fell
off 07.8 per cent between 10'JO end
193S, while In Great Brltalns collec
tion for every year except 1034 ex
ceeded collections In 19:20.
In 1834 the national government of
Oreat Britain collected ai.38.10B.OO0
in Income and surtaxes, or 30.22 per
capita. The United States treasury in
the aame year collected from those
sources only 4 10.609.000, or 3.34 per
capita.

(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, New Orleans)
NEW ORLEANS ( AP) Under the
rule of Huey P. Long, the state of
Louisiana has been turned Into as
near an absolute monarchy as la pos
sible on the soil of the United States.
Long dominates every public func
tion except the church and the press.
Ironically, his latest acquisition oft
powers came on Independence day,
when, through hla legislature, be took
over control of motion pictures thru
a board of censorship and placed
under hla Jurisdiction all achool
teachers and every other non-elective
employe of the state, parishes ana
municipalities.
Capture of New Origan
Before Huey'a latest trip to Louisi
ana, the city of New Orleans, under
the leadership of Mayor T. Bemmes
Walmsley, represented an organized
hotbed of antl-Longlsm. When he left
Louisiana July 17 the Walmsley or
ganization was wrecked end control
of the city of half a million popu
lation was In hla grasp.
Walmaley still was mayor In title
but Long had stripped him of almost
every vestige of power.
Long took over the puree of New
Orleerw by placing taxes and licenses
under state control. By the same
means he obtained control of the
city policemen and firemen, the sew
erage and water department and he
can control all other departmenta by
controlling the money.
Through hla legislature he can do
the same to any other city.
Long's Duration
How long will he last?
Hla devoted followers say he will
grow In power until he dies. His ene
mies say he will collapse at the next
election. '
Peraons who think In terms of
practical politics aay It will take a
long srlge to "break" him. They ex
plain that Long has all that goes to
make a strong political orgcnigntlon
money. Jobs, control of police and
militia, and control of election "ma
chinery. He has a ruth lew knack of
punishing bis enemies and holding
out a liberal hand to his friends.
Only one organization threatens to
stop him the Square Deal associa
tion. This group, organised In every
pariah, Is working under cover to de
feat Long's candidates for the state
legislature, on the assumption that
If he Is stripped of legislative control
his temple will crash.
Other Bomcs 'Pikers'
Another hope of the anti-Long la

national administration.

but never did they have Huey's pow
er. If they rise from their graves. Pen
rose of Pennsylvania, Tweed of New
York. Hannah of Ohio, Sullivan of
Illinois, and Tamard of Indiana
would oast an eye toward Louisiana
and brand themselves "pikers" as
bosses.

Who is thfa Hney Long?
He was christened Huey Pierce Long
in the Baptist church 42 years ago.
Hla father grubbed for a living 6n u
pig farm in the red hills section ol
middle Louisiana. He was poorly edu
cated In the country schools, had one
year at college and one year at law
school.
He became a book salesman, a lard
salesman, a politician, a governor, a
United States senator and then boas
politician of the state. He is classed as
an able lawyer, a champion stump
speaker and a cunning political trat-eglst.
He cherishes the presidency of the
United States. Palling in that, he
hopes t6 be a Prcldcnt-maker.

C.C.C. CATERPILLAR
FIRST VEHICLE TO
IKE AGNESS TRIP
URANT8 PASS. Aug. 13. (Bpl.)
Pushing trees, rocks and brush out
of Its way or cutting a path out of
the mountain sides where necessary,
and taking advantage of ridges and
open spaces where possible, a cater
pillar road builder was taken to the
Agnesa CCC camp recently the first
time any equipment on wheels has
been taken to Agnes by land.
Heretofore all heavy equipment has
been taken up the Rogue river from
Qold Beach by boat. Difficulties ex
perlenced on the river, however, made
the forest officials try the overland
Job.
The feat was considered Impossible
by many officials of the Bisk I you for
est, but others were Just as staunch
In the belief that It could be done.
Word of the accomplishment was re
ceived at the Siskiyou forestry head
quarters here Saturday and an
nounced by A. O. Jackson, assistant
forester.
The eo-horse power machine was
taken by three CCC men up Pistol
river from the coast highway over the
road built last summer to the Wild
horse guard station, a distance of
about 35 miles from the highway.
Prom the station the men had to
make their own rough trail.
For three days the cumbersome but
powerful caterpillar was driven thru
U miles of trackless forest of the 11-llnols-Rogue
river district. Trees hsd
to be pushed down, rocks moved
aside, and trail had to be cut out of
steep mountain sides. Wherever pos
sible the machine was driven along
ridges where brush was about the
only difficulty, or put through nat
ural open meadows. ,
The Illinois river was forded near'
the mouth, and 'the bulldozer was
driven across the Agness bridge to
the CCO camp. The three men and
their machine had opened an entirely
new route for taking heavy machin
ery Into the heart of the Rogue river
wilderness.
Though the rough trail will not be
suitable for taking trucks to Agness
as yet, tractors and trail-builders will
have much less difficulty In going
over the route In the future because
most of the "rough spots" were
"knocked off," forest officials Indicated,

ROXY ANN BLAZE
QUENCHED SUNDAY
The grass and brush fire, which
Saturday afternoon and night raged
over the flanks of Boxy Ann. burn
lng 1000 acres before being brought
under control by CCC men and state
forest patrol officers, was completely
out before 11 o'clock yesterday mom
lng. It was reported today by District
Warden Dwlght Phlpps.
Damage to fences In the neighbor
hood was estimated at 950, and a
flock of about a dozen turkeys wus
trapped and burned by the blaze.
There was no further damage, as the
land is not used even for grazing at
this time of year.
The fire was brought under Con
trol about 10 o'clock Saturday night,
but the CCC men were kept on duty
for some time later, and 25 remained
at the scene all night to prevent a
fresh outbreak from smouldering
stumps and roots. A small crew was
also kept on duty at the scene of a
140-acre blaze near Beagle after the
fire was out. to prevent a possible
spread. Phlpps spiked the rumor that
there had been a serious flro In the
Crater Lake district over the weekend.
