FOR WHOSE RELIEF
“who does get the benefit of the sales tax? We repeat: it
is the railroads and other public utilities, and very large
property owners, who get all their personal property ex
empts from taxation. The benefit of 5 1-2 mills on their
state is permitted by law to be added to your bill for use of
their service. The individual large real estate owner will
find his benefit under the sales tax shifted back onto him
to make up the deficit in local taxes occuring on account
of personal property being exempted from taxation.”
The state tax commission represents that the counties
will receive a 50-50 division of the proceeds of the sales
tax and thus will more than be compensated for the loss of
personal property tax. There must be paid first in 1933,
the last half of the state property tax, the veterans’ fund,
and the fund for relief of the needy. Then the counties
will get a 50-50 division of what is left.
The counties will get less than before for schools and
administration of government. The people will pay more.
The big taxpayers will pay less.—The Journal.

OVERGROWN SALARIES
Unless high salaries are cut. corpor
ations will not be granted loans, says
Jesse Jones, head of the Reconstruc
tion Finance corporation. The salary
of the president of the United States
Is only *75,000 a year, and he has ac
cepted a cut. Members of the cabinet
are paid salaries of only *15,000. And
they take a cut.
Some of th ecorporations that earlier
received R. F. C. loans paid salaries
ranging to *100,000 and above. Charles
E. Mitchell’s salary was *100,000 a year
and after the 1929 stock crash It was
made *200,000. Are the services of cor-
portion officials worth more than those
of the president of the nation?
The ruling *of the R. F. C. head is
sound to the last degree. To keep the
government running, the people are
taxed to the limit. They are already
overburdened by government costs.
Why should they be taxed still more to
provide R. F. C. funds to help corpor
ations that are paring their officers ex
travagant and very much unearned
salaries.—Ex.

HAIL TO A SAFE FOURTH!
Independence Day of old was celebrated with reckless
abandon. Hundreds of persons of all ages lost their lives
playing with fireworks, guns and explosives. Others were
drowned or killed in motor accidents. Now, the Fourth

If you must use fireworks—be on the alert every
minute. Give yourself plenty of space. Keep them away
from inflammable materials. Keep away from smaller
