If they bad not voted for such a law it would never have been in existauce. At this time one utility company in Columbus is mailing out rebate checks to patrons covering several years when over charge was collected, due to an Ohio law that has been upset. This company in question is now placed at great expense of employ­ ing extra help to write many thou­ sand checks and then pay the govern­ ment check tax. This stands as a lesson to the company. murt precede reform. They know that recovery end reform of legislation, for instance the m- mujst go hand in hand.

Bur they believe that ,iong way from the truth and the man- they must be corrected by law and by law that will cure, not jagement of the companies would he kill j the first to admit the statement to- Any reform movement that is to honestly benefit the public day. If legislation made it possible must protect the innoeent as well as punish the guilty. It for a company to take advantage of is regrettably easy, in seeking to drive out the crooked practices Jit* patrons, the company was not *- o f which the Post speaks, to hamstring legitimate endeavor at lone in the wrong. Where was your the same time—-to crucify the good business man as well as the industrial racketeer. And when that Is done, the nation inevit­ ably feels the adverse effects, and recovery, as well as real re* form, receives a serious set-back. It is a fact that American business, by and large, is honest, ethical and honorable. It is likewise a fact that an overwhelm­ ing maiority o f business men are whole-heartedly in favor of efforts to rid the nation and business o f degenerating influences. These business men may be trusted to cooperate with any agency that has these purposes in mind. But business, and the thinking public, does oppose, and justly, laws and campaigns that mistakenly believe that reform can be achieved by lump­ ing the wheat with the chaff, and damning industry, business or profession because o f the dishonesty o f a few within its ranks. NOT ALARMING-JUST INTERESTING -The purchaser o f a loaf o f bread, according to the National Transcript, pays 17 kind o f taxes when, he lays his dime on the counter. . *' I f he walks home on leaving the store, he is wearing out shoes which are taxed 23 rimes. I f he rides in an automobile, he is paying 42 different kinds ’'Oif'tftxes^ ■ .> ' • *■ I f he takes a subway or an electric’car, the total number o f visible taxes which are part o f the cost of his fare runs to about 58. A ll o f these taxes, obviously, are indirect—and very few of us know that we pay them. As the Transcript says, “ Tax ignorance is the crowning element in mass ignorance, today." Most of us pay few or no taxes directly—and we think because o f that we are contributing nothing to the cost of government. There is.not a thing in the world that isn't taxed.. The house we live in represents a legion of taxes—running all the way from taxes on standing timber to taxes paid by the store which sold the finishing point and the manufacturers which produced it. Food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, periodicals, books—the tax bill is a substantial item in their cost to the consumer. It is obvious that these indirect taxes—which provides the • bulk o f governmental revenue—fall more .heavily on persons o f moderate means than on those with higher incomes. A loaf o f bread will last a millionaire as long as it will a laborer—and the tax is the same on the loaf each bujrs. Tax reduction would be the greatest boon the average American could have—a boon that would at once be reflected in more jobs, more purchasing power, more spending for the necessities and luxuries which keep the industrial machine turning. We will have tax reduction when we spend less tax money — and not until then. Only .massed public opinion, backed up by knowledge o f the facts, can bring it about. The cost o f government can and must be reduced—rail the way from Wash ington down to the smallest hamlet in the land. . . . m r . W a llac e o n ruthless go - gett ing Secretary Wallace's address before the World Alliance fo r .International Friendship in New York was, in effect, a preach­ ment directed at the.wealthy. Mr. Wallace called them “ ruth­ less go-getters." He said they were “ still determined to get theirs." He may be right; but who is he to. read a lecture to others on the evils o f .ruthless go-getting? On Dec. 3 the Supreme court o f the United States unanimously ordered to trial the anti­ trust suit brought by the Indiana Farmers’ Guide against the Wallace Publishing company and other defendants accused of conspiring to monopolize the. sale o f advertising space in farm publications. Mr. Wallace was head o f the Wallace Publishing company when the alleged conspiracy^ was formed. The de­ fendants tried to1escape trial by pleading, that the question o f interstate commerce was not involved. The Supreme court made short work o f that contention. In view o f the fact that a conspiracy to monopolize trade is, o f all forms o f go-getting, the most ruthless (or at least was so regarded in this country until March 4,1933), Mr. Wallace might well have reserved his accusations against pthers at least until he had been cleared o f the charge himself. Mr. Wallace is already in court on one complaint alleging ruthlessness in the conduct o f private affairs and the time may come when he will be in court on another allegation o f the same sort. As principal stockholders in the Hi-Bred Seed com­ pany he and his wife have been placed in a position to profit from the government’s acreage reduction program which he sponsored. The government, thanks to Secretary Wallace, paid the farmers a bounty for planting fewer acres to corn; there­ upon Mr. Wallace the seed merchant offered them an article (at a fancy price) which would enable them to grow almost as much com as they ever did despite the reduced acreage. His company even published advertisments in Wallace's Farmer to that effect. This may not be ruthless and it may not be go- getting in Mr. Wallace’s eyes, but to others the words will seem to fit. . ... While on the subject o f ruthlessness, Mr, Wallace might have gone a step further and called attention to a matter with which he has been closely associated in his official capacity. He .might have discussed the operations o f the Bankhead law which has deprived hundreds of thousands of families in the cotton belt o f what little they had been able to earn. The Presi­ dent himself virtually confessed it all when he recommended a few days ago that farmers growing two bales o f cotton or less be exempted from the operations o f the law next year. He Said there were 800,000 such families. ; Two bales o f cotton are worth about $120, and it was these $120 families— 300,000 o f them*—which the New Deal had. kicked still further down the economic ladder. Meanwhile Mr, Vincent Aster, the well known tenement house proprietor and host at numerous Presidential yachting parties, seems to be getting by. So, too, is Mr, Ralph Morrison, the Texas millionaire. The New Dealers may regard his large income as evidence o f ruthlessness, but they were not indignant to the point o f refuting a loan for the completion o f the Buch­ anan dam In which he is reputed to have a substantial interest. As the share croppers, the tenant farmers and the farm laborers in the Texas cotton fields have been ground under, thanks to the New Deal, the Texas millionaire has been placed in a position to increase his already swollen fortune, thanks again to the New Deal. The contrast is one to which Mr. Wal­ lace in his dual role o f secretary o f agriculture and Old Testa­ ment prophet might give a few moments o f undivided attention. —Chicago Tribune. Sometimes we do not, always take into consideration the whole phase oif utility problems. If yon are not familiar with a certain line of busi­ ness it is easy to disagree with the company policy, due to the fact you may hot have all the details; We might refer to some local events to stress oiir point. • The Ohio Bell Telephone Co,’ the past year has had, a crew of employees here rebuilding their lines in and out of town- When they are through the whole system will no doubt be on the books as if a new plant was installed for the first time. Yet we must take into con­ sideration the Bell Company ’ pur­ chased the plant at a good price from the Cedarville Telephone Company. It is iikely the old plant could have had a few hundred dollars added in re­ pairs and some kind of a" service rendered. Rather than waste funds that way we are getting a new system and the employees will he with us for a few months yet to complete the work. It is true the compaiiy could not expect patronage if there was pot halfway decent service. The other side is how long will it take the com puny to get its original investment back on building five miles of lines with new poles with one subscriber to 'the mile? Such companies are .owned by thousands of men and women in all walks of life, they have invest­ ed in the stock feeling it was not only safe but would, permit profitable dividends for their support We are not one of the kind that believes the investment of these men and women should be wiped out by government competition. If company managment is wrong it is proper the government should regulate—not destroy that which belongs to its citizens.1 I Most any day you can pick up a paper and see where -this and that statesman, politician or brain-truster offers a new remedy as a cure of the depression. Now we are beginning to hear from the nut-factory that offers plans to make it impossible for an­ other economic disturbance to the end of time. As far as the sugges­ tion is concerned about stopping "Re­ pressions” the brain-trusters might just as well include the end of the world as the next thirty-five years. Depressions, which should have their right name, panics, have come and gone ever since the world became commercialized, and the average is about every thirty to thirty-five years. If you doubt the statement read up on the subject of how many and when panics prevailed in this country as Well as others. The wise man of today is preparing for the next depression knowing there can be no cure for the evils and misdeeds of the commercial world as well as with individuals. One of the faults of every generation is that the oncoming generations will not take the experi­ ence of the past as a guide. Nad the present generation lived and been guided by the mistakes previous to the panic back in. the early nineties, we would not be going through what we are today. When men and women refuse to recognize the difference between investment and speculation; that abuse" of credit always Is .fol­ lowed by disaster, and savings and not debt is the balance scale of sound economic law—then will we enter that would be well over the grade.
