Old Time Honesty cf rioneers is Admired
Charles Evans II :ghes is perhaps one of the ablest
jurists of this generation.
As a statesman he has made a record which might
veil be envied.
He is the president of the American Bar association,
and in a recent address he touched some of the "high
spots" relating to the evils against which this age is
struggling.
On numerous occasions ex-Secretary of State Hughes
has criticized our lawmaking bodies.
We are overburdening ourselves with laws of all
kinds. We are spending so much time and effort in mak
ing laws that we have little time or energy to give to the
enforcement of those we have already made.
You have doubtless heard of the spider who acquired
such extraordinary ability in weaving a web than he him
self was finally caught in its meshes.
To a certain extent we are suffering with a similar
situation
L: ws that are for the purpose of insuring justice can
ultimately defeat their own object. They- can make it
that much more difficult for justice to be obtained.
We can be'eaught in the meshes of laws of our own
making through technical characters and decisions which
have no foundation or justice.
With the legislature in every state making new laws
every year, the statute books will ultimately be burdened
to such an extent that it would be difficult for even the
lawyers to know the law.
He will merely have to guess the best he can, and
take the consequences whatever they may be.
Ex-Secretary Hughes is especially emphatic in his re
gard for old-time American liberty that same sort of
freedom that Patrick Henry talked about when he said:
"Ge me liberty, or give me death!"
If that old-time liberty-loving American were to pay
us a visit at this time he would indeed have reason to
complain. 4
What we need are a few simple laws that everybody
can understand.
Most any one can select the right from the wrong,
but you must have a clever lawyer to 'kid you in nearly
every 'activity at this particular time to keep you out of
trouble. The old-time, simple honesty of our pioneer
days is everywhere admired.

Surtaxes and the Exempts
High Surtaxes Defeat the Real Purpose
Publication of income tax reports shows that many
of our wealthiest people pay little or nothing to the gov
ernment. That is because, in a majority of instances, the
income is derived from investments in tax-exempt securi
ties, such as those issued by states, districts and cities,
which cannot be taxed without constitutional amendment
There are from twelve to fifteen billions of such securi
ties issued, mostly in the hands of wealthy people.
These securities bear lower interest than industrial
or other investments, but many times the loss in interest is
saved in income taxation, which through surtaxes, take
as high as half the income. As a consequence, capital
that should be invested in industry and development is
withdrawn for exempt securities.
In this way the high surtax defeats its own purpose,
for the government is by it, losing the revenue it would
otherwise have, which would reduce taxation. The direct
effect of cinching the rich has been to scatter and conceal
wealth, with the result that there are fewer big taxpay
ers, each year, despite the increase in wealth.
Thi! treasury's policy is to diminish the Burtax to such
an extent that it will not make deductions for taxes more
than two per cent, so tnat a six percent investment, when
the tax is paid, will be equivalent to a four per cent tax
exempt investment, instead of less than three per cent as
at present. This would assist business development by
attracting capital from the exempt securities.
These publications of the income tax payments are
convincing argument that a state income tax will not
reach the tax-dodgers, but increase them, for the income
tax does not hit the idle rich, who escape via the exempts,
but industry and development, which already, bearing
most of the property and personal tax, are doubly pen
alized, not only in taxation, but in obtaining necessary
capital. Salem Capital Journal.
Dinner Stories
When he had carefully examined
the shoes the physician had
brought in for repairs, the Gorman
cobler handed them back, saying:
"Dem shoes ain't worth mending,
doctor."
"Very well, Hans," said the doc
tor, "then of course I won't have
anything done to them."
"Veil, but I sharge you feefty
cents already yet."
"Why, what for?"
"Vy, when I came to see you do
udder day you sharged me free
dollar for telling me dot (lore ain't
noddings der matter mit me."
A white man walking along a
road where an old colored man
was whitewashing a fence, noticed
that the brush he was using con
tained Tery few bristles.
"Look here, Rastus." exclaimed
the man, pausing and looking at
the operation, "why don't you get
a brush with moro bristles in it?"
"What fo', Mlstah Smith,, what
fo'7" returned Rastus, glancing
from the fence to his questioner.
"What for?" expressively repli
ed Smith. "Why, If you had a
brush with more bristles In It you
could do twice as much work."
"Dat's all right, Mlstah Smith,"
said Rastus. negatively shaking
his head, "but I hain't got twice
as much work to do."
The aiilomohllo was a thing un
