"Oh, there are plenty of things we can do to alter an old environment. "Go on and think of a few for yourself." Mac then goes on to say that perhaps we need to clean up our old thought attics.

The most representative index of all is industrial production. To make this comparison, Mr. Thorp selected the lowest three months each country had since January, 1932. and related them to a late period. In this comparison, the United States stands exactly in the middle of the list, with a gain from the low point of 30 per cent. Canada is first, with 57 per cent, followed in order by Germany, Sweden, Japan and Czechoslovakia and then the U. S. Under us, is the United Kingdom, Poland, Austria, France and Belgium. There are the figures and even the most cursory analysis shows that improvement in this country has been little above the average. We have done more by law to promote recovery than any other comparable nation, but are little farther toward achieving it. Later business figures than Mr. Thorp was able to give .indicate continued advances throughout the world, with a few exceptions. At home, business commentators are optimistic many of them seem to believe ftiat we are due for a slow but steady improvement that will not be abruptly checked, as have the rises of the past. er three-mont- oOo The Tax Exemption Fallacy I f 1 GARLAND Mrs. Geo. A. Real By - S SUREST WAY to achieve tax THE would be to spread the burden evenly, based on the capacity to pay without exemptions. Tax exemption for persons with in comes in the lower brackets has long iooled a substantial part of the putmc into believing it is not taxed at all. It creates the idea that the cost of government is being borne by wealthy individuals and by big business. No idea, no belief, could be less jusweatified. There aren't that many that aren't there and lthy individuals The part great businesses. many big of the cost of government federal, state, county and municipal is paid are tax by the people who think they montheir of Instead paying exempt. office, collector's tax ey direct to the rents, they pay it indirectly in higherand enmore expensive food, clothing That else. and everything tertainment big business which is so highly taxed, for example, is the business you pa-or tronize when you buy groceries shoes or insurance or transportation or something of the kind and the cost of the commodity or service inriiidpa the taxes the business pays, in other words, the business simply acts the middleman it collects money Jrom you and passes it on to govern ment.

Important measures acted upon in the house, included; H. B. 30, a Great Basin Authority act for dyking; !the Great Salt Lake for development purposes; H. B. 212, giving municipalities the right to acquire, own and operate light and power plants; H. B. 192, a direct primary law; H. B. 143, providing for a day for mine and smelter workers. Senator Albert E. Holmgren of Bear River City voted yes on S. B. 125, 127, 200 and S. J. R. 16. He vot-- ! ed no on S. B. 187 and H. B. 272 and 273. He voted yes on an amednment to S. B. 109, which would have raised taxes on metal mines, and on final passage of the bill after the amendment was defeated. Senator Holmgren succeeded in his efforts to secure additional highways for his district in connection with S. B. 141, the measure increasing the state's road system by many miles. Representative E. H. Cornwall of Tremonton, voted yes on H. B. 30, 212, 243, H. J. M. 1 and S. B. 1 and 88. He voted no on H. B. 192. Representative Will R. Holmes of Brigham City, voted yes on H. B. 30 212, 243, H. JM. 1 and no on H. B. 192, S. B. 1 and 88. It was noted that Mr. Holmes, though a newspaper editor, did not oppose on the house floor the passage of H. B. 189, a measure reducing delinquent tax advertising in newspapers. His altitude was regarded by fellow legislators as eminently fair in view of the fact that newspapers will be materially affected in the loss of advertising if the bill finally becomes a law. A similar measure was defeated in the senate. Senators declared the country newspapers to be highly valuable assets In the upbuilding of communities and deserving of the support given them in the tax advertising. I The best way to appraise any nation's success in recovering from depression is to view it in the light of the experience of other nations which face the same problems and are battling the same depression. During the last few years, the American press has carried scattered and comment on foreign gains and losses, but, at least so far as the lay reader is concerned, nothing has been issued that gave anywhere near a clear perspective of actual conditions. Now, in an article in Foreign Affairs, Willard L. Thorp (Chairman, Advisory Council of the NRA ,and Professor of Economics at Amherst) has adequately performed that dif ficult and important task. As part of a general article on World Recovery, Mr. Thorp has assembled statistics from all the major powers covering the four most important barometers of economic conditions: Industrial Production, Unemployment, Wholesale Prices, an3 Value of Foreign Trade. Socially speaking, the unemployment record is the most important. In this field, Mr. Thorp's figures cover the representative period from August, 1932, to August, 1934. They show that Germany had the best luck in putting men back to work its unemployment declined by 54 per cent. Australia's declined by 39 per cent, the United Kingdom's by 25 per cent, bv Japan's by 21 per cent, Cana-iY16 per cent, and Italy's by 8 per cent. Three countries France Czechoslovakia and Poland show a rise in unemployment. The United States was at the middle dl the list, being under Canada and above Italy, with an unemployment decline of 12 per cent. When it comes to percentage changes in wholesale prices, the United States leads the rest of the world. From 1932 to a late month, prices in this country advanced 20 per cent twice as much as in the second country, Japan. England showed a 5 per cent rise, Germany, 4 per cent. A large group of countries, including Poland, France and Italy, showed declines. It is an interesting fact that in many countries, government has attempted to keep prices down while the American Administration has gone to extreme lengths to force them up, believing that higher prices are essential to business recovery. How' ever, they proved to be a mixed bless ingyou can put prices up, but you can't make people buy. With present dis-relat- full-tim- j trend of Administration policy, it is doubtful if further advances will be registered. There is a better chance that the general index will go down. The tables on foreign trade show that Japan and the United States have had the best experience, based on a comparison of the third quarter of 1934 with the third quarter of 1932. Our exports rose 51 per cent, and our Imports 45 per cent, while England's rose 18 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively. Poland, Germany and France showed declines in both phases of foreign trade, while Austria, Australia and Canada showed moder-- 8 Economic Highlights CAPITOL DOME 4 an in Today the tax problem is Ameri to issue every tensely personal ran. it stands in the way of employ 1 ant nf ware increases, of industrial oxnansion. of productive investment It is a barrier to recovery.
