The Nazareth Item

              Let 'Er Go, Gallagher
n» ntlo of total taxes in the United States to corpor¬ is net proflts has mounted until, at present, an average of Sna^lar out of every four goes to the tax collector, ac- tZ^mto John J. O'Connor, of the Chamber of Commerco Xr^aUnlted SUtes.
This "Let '«r go, Gallagher!" spirit on (b« part of our aAMbI tax-raisers menaces every American industry. It iSZeea aa well, all investors, large and small, and the mil- iSuuiof workers whose jobs and living standards depend on i^iiMS progress and prosperity. We have seen, in England, A^MMf^ and elsewhere, what excessive governmental ex- f^miit ean do to a nation's Industrial structure. ^Unless government, through its own efTorts, becomes «flelent and aconomical. It will be up to the people, through tUi vote, to force efficiency and economy on it.
Depression's Beat Friends
Tlie greatest barrier business faces in returning to nor¬ mal U the threat of higher taxes.
It is all very well to advocate taxing the big fellow to helD the little fellow. But it is the big fellow who gives that uttle fellow hU Job—who keeps him employed at good wages, mnd enjoying exceptional living sUndards. Too. in the Unit- ad States, the little fellow has been purchasing for himself Interests in our great industries, so that it Is often haVd to tell where "capital" leaves off and "labor" begins.
Prosperity—which Is principally a matter of employment —can only return with increased industrial activity, which. In turn, results from an Inilux of new money. Tax raising schemes that discourage industrialists and investors alllce are depression's best friends.
A Sound Slogan
with cost of government rising in almost every state and countv with the Federal government facing a gigantic de¬ ficit due to the record appropriation of the last congress coupled with a decline in income tax receipts, and with busi¬ nesses and Individuals seeking to cut costs. It would seem that the agitation for government ownership of our service in¬ dustries would be stilled for a time.
Those who propose to place the government In the elec¬ tric industry are, whether or not they know it, proposing something that would make the present governmental debt look like a petty cash statement. The industry represents an Investment of billions of dollars and it spends gigantic sums annually in taxes and for new construction and improve¬ ments To give it to the politicians would be to allow them to play with the future of American Industry and prosperity.
Keep government out of business and business out of government—in the sense that business must not ask for special favors.   That is a sound slogan for progress.
The Suckers* Revolt
In most states, there is absolutely no excuse for further Increases In the gasolleie tax. As a matter of fact, tax de¬ creases would be more in order.
Twentv-one states lew no general property tares and make no appropriations from general funds for roads. In the 27 other states road taxes collected In this manner total less than 10 per cent of the state highway funds. The own¬ ers of motor vehicles pay almost all of the money used for roads. And it must be remembered that good roads are of general benefit to everyone, whether or not they own a car.
Every time the motorist pays a dollar for gasoline, about M cents, on the average, goes to the state. In some instances, when low gas prices are In effect, the tax amounts to forty per cent or more of the cost of motor fuel. No other special tax assumes such significance in our economic life. Tet, it Is suggested, in state after state, that rates be boosted again.
A fair gas tax, all of which is used for roads, is a good thing, but the merit of this Is being rapidly lost by unjusti¬ fied Increases and by diversion of tax funds for other pur¬ poses. Those who say that "one cent more won't make any difference" mav have occasion to change their minds In tho near future. The motorists—a term which. In one wav or another, embraces a majority of the voting public—show signs that they are growing tired of being made the suckers whenever U is desirable to Increase tax revenues.

A Cement price war is on. as the news of the markets and cement let- tings demonstrates. Within less than two montlis prices liave dropp¬ ed into the subcellar. The net price at mill has gone to around a dollar per barrel; a few large contracts have been taken even lower, and a 74c. bid is reported. These figures are at least 50c. below those prevail¬ ing at the t>eginnlng of the year, and are below production costs.
Just now the   large cement con¬ tracts of state highway departments ars being   let.   Nearly   ten   million barrels have already been bought at abnormally low prices, and there is prcspe-t that the rest of the year's commitments will go at similar flgur- I es.   The effect, briefly stated, will be that consumers   will save   at least ] fifty million dollars, and the cement I manufacturers, or  more  accurately I the stockholders In cement compan- j ie.s. will lose this same amount.   As I in most wars, the bills are paid bv ; people who had no voice In starting ;the war.
