Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1930 IPS H. SL Hunter, editor of the El Paso (Texas) Herald and of the El Paso Times, says: "Did you ever stop to think that although two may not be able to live as cheaply as one, they can live together more cheaply than they can live separately ? "Tat is what a good many of our employed girls and bright young man have found out. And that is why they say they can save more after marri-in age than before, each continuing When you his and her employment come to think of it, a score of economies are possible through the marriage relationship which do not come to the single individual. But if babies are contemplated, the situation is changed. Babies mean the mouier must give ujj ner ciuyivj uicu for a time at least, and home expenses mount heavily. There is where for comes in the justification Judge Lindseys companionate marriage idea in some of its phases. "T fViinV in tha nevt cpnpration or two the world will see practically all women employed outside the home, the same as their husbands. Children will be cared for in Families will live in great apartment houses whcih will have central cooking and dining systems, or with meals delivered to the family as desired. Individual homes will be grouped around another house or building providing centralized cooking and dining. This will be in residence sections where people prefer separate houses. "And all cleaning and other housework will be done under the supervision of the same management that directs the apartment house or the residential community dining ar' rangement. Carle D. Brown, National Advertising Manager of the Salt Lake Tribune, 6ays: VWhat has become of Silas, with his boots, baggy trousers, coat too short, old straw hat, and his whiskers, and hayseed in his hair?

"Question 'What did it? "Newspaper Advertising." pt well-dress- ed That a whole lot of people get the habit of spending money too freely, without thought for tomorrow. They indulge in too many luxuries which their incomes will not stand; they seem to have no thought for the future. Of course, it is their money and they have a right to spend it, but they have no right to forget tomorrow. Most of them are gaining much dividual exemptions to any figure found to be necessary to produce local government needs. The nation each state and all local taxing units will get their levy of tax on the total productive ability that is found in their territory no matter where the owner may live. Bonds and stocks like deeds will pay to each locality where the property that pro duces the interest on bond money or the dividend is located. The tax rate of each owner will be fixed by the equalization tax table for each person's income from all places. The national government has a vast amount of experience and data as to what a net income really Is. .No state need duplicate that knowledge and expense at the cost or local tax payers. Etta Assessments will automatically teach economic truths to the entire population. That learning will do more to prevent fraud than all the criminal laws that can be made. It will thoroughly supplant can economic theories. All private property as such is exempt from levy by Etta Assessments. For the tax is taken as a reasonable part of each owners net income when he makes reasonable use of his property and of his ability. Each person the head of a family should have a home, with not to exceed ten thousand dollars fixed improvements and as much more value in furnishings. This home exemption should include one acre of farm land or a residence lot of an area equal to 50 ft. by 150 ft. for which no income is to be shown. The Owners of Corporations Taxed With Etta Assessments operative in the nation and states the corporation taxes can be waivered to each corpor ation that will divide annually all net earning above an attractive limited income for the capital, reasonably Bet by the corporation at the beginning of this tax methad application to it Such earning limit for capital invested in the business will be sufficinet to attract all necessary capital to the Such corporations must business. maintain an edequate reserve against depreciations and replacement costs as well as repairs and other costs. They must furnish a list of the bond and stock holders and of the employes. Then they must divide all net corporate earnings over the capital wage, to the stockholders and to the employes in proportion to the annual earnings of each group as determined by the fixed wages and dividends. In this dividend no value of the stock will be considered, only its limited earnings ort a parity with the wages and salaries paid to all the employees. If all corporations choose to follow this plan after it is a law, then all taxes will ultimately come to be taken from the current creation of new wealth and will never under all circumstances destroy personal wealth. Neither will it ever be the cause of property changing hands at a reinous figure. There will be no double taxation. This Etta Assessment method will greatly reduce the number of questions that now arrive each year as to the exact amount which each owner and worker should pay prdperlv to help support his government in all Un-Am- main-tainan- ce an-ual- ly Garland Milling, Company its parts. Expiations of table A 1. Any rate above the five (5) per cent column will tend to retRrd prosperity if applied or appropriated for any purpose except to rpel an enemy or to wipe out public debt that would otherwise keep the tax rate higher. 2. There are only eleven rates of levy or assessment possible on each income by the Etta Assessments. Those levies are represented by the eleven columnse of the table. The per cent of tax refers to the column in the table and not to the tax rate, for every line of this table and all ones except line one of this table. There it refers both to the rate and to the column. 3. In this table reading down the first column, the minimum rate of 1 in the first line becoomes 9 in the ninth line. But if this is the total tax for any year the rate will be spoken of as one per cent The fluxations above and below being on account of the amount of individuals incomes and not on account of the rate.

Each will have available a person who is to be provided with means to help them calculate profitable plans for each year's earnings. Those economic h pers will be alowed to take fees from all producers in those precincts who acquire their assistance in computing costs ana making personal plans. They will be agents for the proposed Product cost Assurance Company, in which every producer who believes in the plan will buy protection for his estimated cost for each unit of products that he plans actually and delivers to market. If he cannot get this protection he will change his plans so as to get such protection unless he can afford to experiment or is determined to take large chances. Etta Assessments will greatly stimulate farm operations so that this cost assurance company will need a reserve construction program financed and operating that may be speeded up to use any idle persons and any surplus goods for which the guaranteed cost of production is not obtainable in the open market. So long as productivity continues to increase it will be inevitable with even complete facts from every thousand people in the world, to avoid getting some of the goods for which a cost is assured. Why cannot this plan of preparing ourselves to pay, each an equitable part of the cost of government and to reduce the cost of living so as to make better living attainable by everyone, be combined with the census enumerations put on an annual basis? Each enumerator could be paid about $300 per annum by the federal government and allowed to engage in some business locally that would tend to develop his contacts with the thou sand people he is to assist in produc tion and financial planning.

Within each column the difference of raise in this basic table will be divided into as many parts as there are thousands of dollars difference between the respective lines of this table. 4. No person's net income will have any compounding of rates to compute his taxes. The one line rate levied will be the one he will have for every part of his income located in each taxing unit Each tax payer will furnish corporations of which he owns securities his income line and they will pay his tax on his income from the corpor ation together with that of all their other owners to each county in which the corporation operates property. 5. Owners of large incomes are in better position to promte high taxes. For they do not feel them so much as do the smaller income owners. Even when modified by this scientifically computed table the larger incomes bear a relatively smaller tax as com pared with their personal necessities. 6. This is not an additional tax method. It is designed to replace obsolete tax methods. Each state and the nation can adopt Etta Assements methods and put them to work at once without waiting for the others to adopt the plan. Each state will event ually save a great part of the cost of collecting an income tax by thus making possible the consolidation of collection agencies. When is complete much taxable income that now escapes between the state lines will be recovered. And when other nations adopt a similar measure like savings can be arranged by treaty between the nations. The present national income tax will need Little modification. And the national income tax experiences are surely available for states that care to use them and thereby save tax expenses. 7. By the Etta method each government can tax without any evil results every mature person gainfully occupied and tax every person's net in come derived from the possession of capital wealth. To do this in a popular way we must abolish the present property tax that in many cases con fiscates property of loyal and faithful citizens. This obsolete tax system would have long ago become unbearable for indingent funds and other un sound ways to modify them. Those unsound ways lead to a general dis regard of property rights and to crim inal dishonesty. Each state can take justly the total Etta assessment on all incomes not exempt and derived under its jurisdiction by collecting at the source for non residences and part owners or corporations. 8.
