CLASS LEGISLATION
Repeated increases in exemptions
from income taxes have had the ef -
a species or class taxation. Tnat may
not have beenthe original intention
of Congress, but it cannot be pre
tended that Congress was not aware
of the effects of its changes In ex
emptions. Congress cannot be surprised, then,
at the requests of a group of intelli
gent women representing- business,
education, and the liberal profes
sions, for another increase in the ex
emptions for single persons this
time from $1,500 to $3,000. The
contention is that it costs the treas
ury more to collect the, taxes on in
comes under $3,000 than the aggre
gate of taxes so collected. Take $2,
000,000 additional names off the in
come lists, these excellent women
urge, and the government will lose
absolutely nothing, while thousands
of teachers, secretaries, nurses, super
ior clerks, struggling young doctors,
and others will be relieved of a bur
den. The argument is not lacking in
plausibility, but the treasury officials
have to be heard from on the basic
question whether the cost of collect
ing an average of about $2,500 is
greater than the total revenue yield
ed by the small sums in question.
And even if the treasury official
concede the point, there is the is
sue of principle and of fiscal policy
to consider. Is it desirable to con
vert income tax legislation into dis
tinctive class legislation? And can
the exemptions be increased repeat
edly without substituting for the
renounced taxes other forms of Fed-
eral taxation designed to make hosts
of citizens of moderate incomes feel
their responsibility for good govern
ment and sound legislation?
A non-partisan and non-political
study of the whole subject of the in
cident of taxation is urgently need
ed. Secretary Mellon has directed at
tention pointedly to that need.
:o:
MOUNTING TAXES
President Sargent of the Chicago
& Northwestern Railway, has been
presenting to the public some not
abh? facts about railroad taxes. These
facts, and others closely related to
them, have a direct and important
bearing upon the public welfare.
"The railroads in the United States
pay over $1,000,000 a day as taxes,"
President Sargejrt remarks without
comment. "The railroads now pay
each year in taxes more than twice as
much as it cost to operate the gov
ernment fifty years ago. Taxes paid
by the Northwestern railway in 192C
will approximate $10,000,000. This
is double the taxes paid in-1916 and
eight times the taxe3 paid in 1900.
The many localities the Northwest
ern Railway taxes comprise more
than one-half of the funds used to
support schools. For the last five
years the Northwestern's taxes have
exceeded its cash dividends by $1,-
500,000 per j-ear."
The great agricultural states in
which President Sargent's railroad
operates, find the burden of freight
rates for agricultural products a ser
ious matter, since the cost of ship
ping those products to market low
ers by so much the price which the
farmers receive for what' they haye
to sell. It is apparent, however,
that the rising costs of the various
governments necessarily have a di
rect influence upon railroad freight
rates. While taxes go up, freight
rates are by no means likely to go
down.
Farmers' organization in all states
should not look to Washington alone
for relief from their troubles. They
ought to look to the state capital,
where costs of government are grow
ing at a startling rate. And they
ought to scan the expenses of their
local governments. The waste in
political administration of public af
fairs is a great national hardship and
scandal. It effects the welfare of
the people In many grievous ways.
One of the old colloquialisms of the
Middle West is that he or she does
not know straight up. As a matter
of fact, none of us know straight up.
That is, we do not know it very
well. It was In quest of the infor
mation about It that Capt. Haw
thorne C. Gray of Scott Field lost his
life last week. He had been up to
42,470 feet in a balloon May 4,
1927. This was higher than any
other human being had ever gone,
the nearest approach to It having
been Lieut.' John A. Macready's alti
tude of 38,704, made with an airs
plane.
:o:
A Yale professor urging the re-
cognition of Russia says we have re -
ctlved grossly misleading reports
of conditions in that country. He is
ouite rieht. We have received every

be true.

Women's Home Economics Clubs
The project leaders of the wom
en's clubs taking the clothing pro
ject under Miss Helen Rocke prac
ticed all kinds of hand stitches and
trimmingB at the county meeting for
November at Elmwood and Weeping
Water. Smocking. Italian hemstitch
ing, cross stitch, and shell edge were
a few of the stitches they learned.
New clubs this month were repre
sented by two project leaders whose
names appear opposite the club
names:
Oakleaf Mrs. Clarence Akesen,
Mrs. Frank Spangler.
Progressive Home Makers Mrs.
Geo. McFadden, Miss "Myrtle Ham
mer. These new clubs have missed the
first lesson of the project under Miss
Rocke but arrangements will be
made so they can get this lesson and
go on with the next lessons.
While the ladies were working on
the stitches, Miss Rocke showed
them garments, towels and luncheon
cloths as examples of the many uses
that can be made of these finishes
and trims. Smocking continues to be
popular for both little tots and
grownups, she said.
Miss Rocke had several patterns
with her which she allowed the ladies
to copy during the last half of the
day. Some of the stitches can be used
on each of the garments made from
these patterns.
Next month, the lesson will deal
with undergarments for old and
young. Materials, trimmage, con
venient and comfortable styles are
some of the points to be considered.
