TAXATION INCREASES
Sioux City Journal: According to
United States treasurery figures, the
federal tax burden increased 65 per
cent in the fiscal year which ended
June 30 last. The taxpayers turned
over to Uncle Sam in that year $2,672,
000,000 in internal revenue, compared
to $1,620,000,000 the preceding year.
In money the increase was $1,052,000,
000.
The treasurery explained that $900,
000,000 of the increased revenue came
from new levies and from higher rates
under old levies. At any rate the in
crease in this amount resulted from
the action taken by the Seventy-third
congress in its special and regular ses
sions, both held under the Roosevelt
administration. Another part of the
increase, $152,000,000 came from in
creased yields under old tax rates.
It is interesting to note the classi
fied collections. Cigarets and tobacco
together yielded the largest item of
revenue. The classifkatiion is:
Private incomes, $420,000,000; corpor
ate incomes, $397,000,000; beer, $163,
000,000; liquor and wines, $96,000,000;
cigarets and tobacco,$425,000,000; gas
oline, $203,000,000. Farm processing
taxes yielded a total of $371,000,000.
It was explained by the treasurery
officials that the administration was
greatly disappointed in the small rev
enue from the liquor taxes. Demo
cratic leaders who insisted on repeal
of prohibition were confident that the
liquor taxes would bring in vast
amounts of revenue and provide a
good deal of the money with which
the new deal was to be handled. It
had been estimated that hard liquor
would yield $175,000,000 the first six
months; it brought $96,000,000. The
treasurery complained that bootlegg
ing had cut down the federal liquor
revenue. Beer did better as a revenue
producer, the yield being $163,000,000,
With these figures before them,
American taxpayers probably will
wonder what the increases will be in
the future. A 65 per cent increase
the first fiscal year of the new admin
istration may be duplicated or closely
approached in the second fiscal year.
By the time the administration is end
ing, taxes paid to Uncle Sam easily
may be double what they were when
it began.
Thoughtful observers are now of the
opinion that the recovery program
will require at least three or four
years to complete if, indeed, it can be
done in that time. If Uncle Sam finds
it obligatory to increase revenue to
meet the cost of relief and of govern
ment, the annual tax bill may jump to
more than 14,000,000,000 by 1936 or
1937.

The King Can Do No Wrong
• Government costs are higher than
private business costs and government
in business leads to bureaucracy, ac
cording to Representative Joseph B.
Shannon, of Missouri,
“Perfection in bureaucracy is
reached:
“First, when a dignified salary is
paid the bureau head.
“Second, when special fiscal pre
rogatives in the purchase of living
supplies arc accorded the bureau in
the way of discounts and so forth; and
“Third, by a revival of the assump
tion of the ancient doctrine of the
presumption of correct motive on the
part of the bureau head, and this not
to be questioned, or doubted by an
unenlightened public.
“Well can it be said, ‘once a bureau
always a bureau.’ None ever dies
voluntarily and very few legislatively.
The birth rate is vastly in excess of
the death rate. A bureau to keep a
record of all contracts growing out
of the Civil War was still functioning
in 1928, sixty-three years after that
war.”
EXCAVATION SHOWS HOLT
COUNTY WAS ONCE THE
HOME OF MANY INDIANS
(Continued from page 2.)
recorded history to show the two na
tions caused each plenty of trouble.
Some of the ex-soldiers who saw
service against the Sioux after 1870,
and fought under such leaders as Gen
eral George A. Custer and Captains
Bernteen and Reno, have said the
Sioux abandoned their reservations in
huge numbers and formed union with
a band of Sioux in the Black Hills
country, Sioux who were determined
to down the whites or bust in the
attempt.
As everyone knows, the government
made a treaty with the Sioux which
gave them the privilege of hunting in
their beloved Black Hills. Out in the
field, General Phil Sheridan could not
have known of this part of the treaty
as he prepared, in the summer of 1876,
to strike a knockout blow at the brown
people or make them come back and
remain on their reservations. He had
things fixed so General Crook should
creep up from the vicinity of Wyom
ing, traveling northeast, and another
general, Terry, was ordered to ap
proach from the south and General
Gibbon was directed to travel from
the east. After the big push was under
way, it was planned, the idea was to
continue harrassing the reds until
they slipped back to their several res
ervations. The plan appeared sound,
writers say, and at the time there was
nothing in sight to prevent it working
as it appeared on paper. It was be
lieved the Indians would fight, but
eventually hot foot it for their old
homes.
The armies of the whites were to
get together after the enemy got on
the run, and then hammer the life out
of them or put them on the land they
left. It was thought the drive was all
over but the shouting and the boys
went at their task as if it were some
sort of game.
As often happens in such cases, the
Indians were not exactly idle in the
meantime. Their scouts brought in
hard earned but valuable nuggets of
information and the Cheyenne and
Sioux who were fighting under direc
tion of a chief called Crazy Horse,
were ordered to attack the force under
General Crook. The chased became
the chasers.
