UNFAIR BURDEN The present Commercial club building was made posible by the hard work of such men as Moran. His record is there. Congressman Lozier, Democratic member from Missou When the Red Cross needed money and made its 8500,000 drive for funds, we again find Moran as directing, giving his time and recent statement on tax exemption, said: The policy of exempting any securities from their pro money. God-give- n. ii ' of the tax burden is TAX AMANIA. It is said that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon will oppose small incomes raised up to 85,000 from the present set figure for income tax exemption. Why not play the tax game with the poor man as well as with the rich? The rich man places his money in tax exempt securties, of course, there should be no such tax exempt bonds in the country, but now that we have them, lets play the game from both ends. Pretty soon we will arrive at the middle when we will find that nobody is paying taxes. Everybody is willing to pay a just tax, and what we need most in this country at the present time is an adjustment of the past tax amania. RECORD FOR NEVADA Reports coming from Nevada have it that all but ten miles of the Lincoln Highway will be completed by the early spring of 1926. Surely, this is a record which Nevada, or any other state, may be proud of. When it is considered that so large a state as Nevada, so sparsely populated, which of course means a very small road fund, has successfully built such a worthy highway, it has the congratulations of the general public, especially of the touring class. This stupendous job was started less than five years ago, and is a worthy example for other states to follow. The Manufacturer states, and truthfully, that under no other government in the world have the masses of the people been given such equal opportunities as in America. With 16,337,605 electric light and power customers, 15,000,000 automobiles, 14,000,000 telephones, 9,000,000 phonographs, and 3,500,000 radios, 110,000,000 Americans enjoy more of these modern conveniences than the peoples of all other countries. What we consider necessities here are usually classed as luxuries by the rest of the world. It is not just by chance that America has such things in the largest quantities for common use.
