AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL LIBRARY Engineering BnUdinft, Cfclosto, Illinois' A RUINOUS The American people take rail road service for granted. When ever a person wants to ride across the continent, or has goods to be transported, he knows that a train is waiting to give him fast, depen dable and economical service. Railroad service and facilities are better than ever before. But during February the lines earned a net profit on their investment of only 1.67 per cent. It is obvious that no industry can con tinue to progress of give service under such conditions. Railroad business dwindles, while taxes rise and the possible economies to be made in operation become constant ly fewer. The industry, in the op- inion of many unbiased authorities, is on the verge of a crisis that may adversely effect every business and every citizen. The problems of the railroad a basic service industry, a foremost taxpayer, employer and purchaser of supplies are entitled to thor ough and intelligent consideration, .', A taxation and regulatory policy ..' which was burdensome in good vtimes is proving ruinous now. If attitude toward the , our foolhardy railroads persists, the public will in r. evitably be the chief sufferer. . ' ' WILL TAXES MEAN CONFISCATION The business interests of the country are going to make a stand before the next Congress for two important objectives: First, to resist any any increase either in corporate income taxes or in personal taxes in the higher brackets; second, they are again discussing cancellation of World War debts to the United States as a means of reviving international trade, says J. F. Essary in the Baltimore Sun. As public taxes become inadequate to pay for the ing public expenses piled up by an army of lawmakers, too few of our legislators try to figure how to hold down or reduce the permanent financial overhead that is being heaped upon the nation, but instead they invent new ways to spend more public money. They increase taxes on existing business that can stand a farther burden and find new methods of taxation not heretofore devised. Russia confiscated all wealth. Its experiment worked out in the usual manner after a government has eaten up confiscated capital, the individual worker is forced to dig up taxes for the official ma- - ' It has been observed that the worst thing about reform is the reformers themselves. Recently, Sinclair Lewis, first American to win the Nobel prise for literature, gave a new twist to this by saying. "Reform in general is all right. Indi vidual reformers are all hell." This is especially applicable to those reformers who have turned their at tention to the problem of crime. Ferhaps the favorite of the crime reformers is the law which is never long lacking from the contemporary scene. It has been tried on New York and other cities and has been a signal failure. reformBut that fact, to ers, is a detail. So are all facts which might keep them from putting more laws on the statute books to restrict good citizens on the theory that the more lawless elements will thereby be corrected. anti-revolv- er POLICY 1 REFORM AND REFORMERS FARM BUREAU NEWS ' $10,200,-000,00- ' o LOW-COS- T ROADS IMPORTANT General disarmament, MAKE GOOD OR WE DO , give-awa- Protesting that "the low value set upon women power in rural districts has always irked me' Mrs. Charles J.

Lawyers collect large fees, which remain in Nevada, and while the six weeks legal residence drag along, visitors leave much of their money In gambling houses that the law encourages, or ignores.
