A great deal of publicity is being given to the fact and it IS a fact that the British income tax is much higher than the American. It is said that England, with this tax, is "on the highroad to prosperity," and therefore we should V jack up our income tax rates to People who advance this argument either are ignorant of the facts, or deliberately pervert them. In England, the income tax is all-inclusive. England is a small nation, comparable to an American state. The income in-come tax takes care of government expenses, schools, local governments and a multitude of services outside the scope H of our federal government. When the English taxpayer pavs his income tax he is thru. When the American pays his, ne's just getting started. On top of it he must pay city, county, state and school taxes, r sales taxes, excise taxes, processing taxes, levies, imposts, duties and such without end. American taxation, because of the fearful multiplication of governments and bureaucracy heaped upon bureaucracy, is the highest in the world. A great deal of it is concealed in prices, and so escapes notice. About half the price of f- casolinp .nrf ciirarpts. to cite onlv two examples. reDresents taxation, direct and indirect. Tax-crazed politicians, who want to raise taxation to still more fantastic levels, should find out the truth before they start to talk. Example For Business Probably there are few Americans who will deny that we need a system of old age pensions. There probably will be equal agreement that such a system must be operated by the federal government. Nevertheless, it is well to remember remem-ber that there are some far-sighted corporations which have ; been quietly conducting pension plans of their own on a I truly remarkable scale. t For instance: it was announced the other day that the Pennsvlvania railroad svstem is $600,000 a month in pensions. ! fw ioaa Twio,. if fc... ojroiciw in x iL The security that such a workers is something beyond price. It more corporations did the same thing, the demand for a government pension system would not be nearly so pressing today.

Still a lot of money, but a good record, considering that it represents repre-sents a fractional percentage of total building values. t Several factors are reducing fire losses. One is the spread of electricity, much less hazardous than old-fashioned lamps and candles. Another is the better fireproof ing of homes and buildings. A third is increased efficiency of fire j departments not only in stopping fires, but in careful, regu- j lar inspections to prevent them. ' Very few fires are unavoidable. Carelessness plays a ! great part. But we seem to be getting more careful.

Being among the visiting royalty he was graciously received and had been of course, much feted. His oriental ideas of life and love caused many comments, and Au-ber, Au-ber, the famed composer, said of him that just as he was taking leave of the French emperor, he said: "Sire, your Paris is wonder-lul, wonder-lul, your palaces splendid, but," as he waved his hand toward the fat and 40 ladies-in-waiting and matrons of honor with a disapproving dis-approving hand, "you must change all this!"
