WHAT FOLKS SAY "It seems somewhat unreasonable to expect the automobile industry to lead the country into a period of prosperity, but still to load that industry in-dustry with no less than 27 individual individ-ual forms of taxes."

One thing is certain; any political party accepting a ten per cent settlement would not stay in power long Without losing his temper Uncle Sam might say "You owe us the money, if yow don't intend to pay, don't." We could then proceed to collect indirectly. YQU KNOW THE HISTORY of t'ae Suez canal. Mr. Van Loon, tells it well in half a page, in his "Geography." The French planned to dig the Suez canal. A dull British prime minister objected, saying a short cut to India would hurt the prosperity pros-perity of England's colony at the Cape of Good Hope. But the canal whs dug, and by that time Disraeli, a Jewish statesman states-man Who made Victoria Empress J of India and added" Cypress to j Britain's possession, was in charge i of British. atTafrs. Disraeli, with business sense, Eaid, let the French dig the canal Britain will make it pay and proceeded pro-ceeded to buy control, of the canal stock for Britain. The canal earned forty million dollars a year, paid enormous profits on the British investmeijr Disraeli didn't make any money out of it fcr himself, as seme others might 'nave done. Perhaps we can make extra money out of the Panama canal, which we built, by allowing other countries to pay a considerably larger toll for using the canal. Uncf.e Sam making that canal a success, providing thd money and engineering intelligence after the French failed, has been worth a great deal to the world's ships, saving them the trouble of sailing all the way around South America. .They would be willing to pay well for it, especially if they had to pay. There are other ways in which Umfe Sam could gradually get back the ten billion dollars that he sent aciojo the ocean, most foolishly, to help foreign nation . cut each others' throats. W. A. SEDOON, vice president of the Seaboard Airline railroad says "the one bright snot in the railroad rail-road map today is the movement of perishable fruits and vegetables out of south Florida."

Some state legislatures are con- sidering new taxes, many of which would compete with federal taxes already being collected. In these times, both Washington and every state are grasping at each hopeful source for revenue to check the mounting deficits which are running run-ning up all public debts at a rapid rate. Pick Different Pockets An investigation ordered by congress con-gress had disclosed 326 duplications, duplica-tions, cases in which federal and state tax collectors are scrambling to get their hands into the same, taxpayer's pocket. President-elect Roosevelt hopes to segregate the pickings from the taxpayers by sending the federal government into in-to one pocket and the states into another! He hopes, insofar as possible, not only to win the cooperation of governors gov-ernors in reducing irritation which this scramble of tax collectors collec-tors causes among taxpayers, but the inequalities and injurious overloading over-loading of good revenue producers. With the one-cent federal gasoline tax put into effect last summer, there is duplication in almost every state.
