A FACT REGARDLESS OF OPINION Never did the hand of taxation bear heavily upon every citizen in the land Dr. Milbank Johnson, President of the California Taxation Improvement Assocition, told a convention of California real estate operators that "the state inheritance tax is retarding the fortunes of California." Not only California, but other states lose heavily througQ transfer of citizenship by wealth ypeople, to other states--Florida for example--that have no inheritance taxes.

Commenting on this situation, the San Francisco Bulletin quotes as follows the Htte Mr. Heine who fiyurrl on establishing' a series of pick'e plants in California: "I am not willing to take all the chances under conditions' that make possible losses a own and under which possible profits must mainly go to the tax collector." The Bulletin quotes another well known California capitalist who says: "What's the use? Why treed I Uke risks and give myself worry in connection with a new enterprise when the greater part of what I could hope to gain must be sacrificed in taxes? Wherever I can I am withdrawing my capital from active enterprise and putting it into tax-exempt securities. Taxes that rob property of its value are fatal in their effect upon community properity. Taxes that go beyond legitimate requirements, that consume profits and that destroy values hit every element and none harder than the wage worker; for when capital will not venture, the wage worker is inevitably a loser more seriously the loser even than the capitalist" THE AGITATOR; WELLSBORO, PA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1925.

A common phrase is that "the tariff is wrong 1 in principle and vicious in practice." That is easy to say but it is hard to prove. The tariff en- ables many lines of agriculture and manufacturing to exist in the United States which could not exist without it. It enables American workmen to maintain wage scales that would be impossible if industries which em- ploy them were competing with for- eigm products produced with cheap labor i could enter this country duty free. Would the most rabid tariff hater advocate wape reductions in this country to foreign standards 9 Would he permit an unrestricted flood of Japanese, German, French, Italian or Belgian manufactured goods and farm products to be dumped on this market regardless of their effect on American industries and agricultural pursuits? The tariff collected from goods shipped in here foreign oonyitries amounts to some a year. Supposing foreign manufacturers and farmers could lop off the I $500,000,000 tariff charge; could American industries stand this cut in price and maintain our standard of i wages? If this $500,000,000 annual federal income destroyed, gov- i ernrnent expenses would not be reduced one penny, but taxpayers would have to make up the amount in addition to their present tax burdens.

These are a few of the business questions involved in the tariff which have absolutely no political signifi- cance. They affect us all equally, whether we be Republicans, Democrats or members of a third party.
