The deflated dollar Is Jnat a round

price of a certain line of popular

by an authority that finished wfofen
and cotton materials were - almost
ready for the market at heavy dln-

tended the iiew rallies Into other ratal-
tlcatlona. All during the period there
hare been large fluctuations In cotion
and grain, these perhaps being the
forerunner of (he new schedule of
prlees in other products and materials.
At any rate, this Is Just what the
American people, or at least the bulk
of them, have hoped for. It will mark
the return to a much healthier con-

as to real values. Hull ding, which bus

Christian Science Monitor:
Rather rapldl.v. so it seems to the
consumer In the United Htates. various
groups of dealer* and producers have
learned the ways of the great trusts.
New it Is the farmers of the country,
long noted as almost hopelessly Indlvl-
duallstlcs, who propose, not only or-
ganization, which they already haw,
but monoply of certain staple foon
prodtwta, a centralised agency, and
price flxlnjr by themselves. It may
indeed well lie called a slgnflcant an-
nouncement to this effect which has
been Issued by the National Hoard pf
Farm Organisations, and there Is llke-
iy to be, attd ought to lie, « free aud
widespread expression of opinion ou
the proposition between now and the
time of meeting of the organization
named.
' + A oOfmralttee of four representatives
of tlie National Board of Farm Organi-
zations and four representatives of
the Farmers National drain Dealers
Association Is considering various
plans for what Is termini the coordina-
tion of grain marketing methods, in
anticipation of the indorsement of such
a plan by the farmers' federation.
What Is proposed by the federation,
as a beginning, is that farmers shall
have a monopolistic control of wheat
arid be enabled to fix prieea by the
summer of 1022. It Is. It must be said.
credltaMe to the farmers 44iat th«V are
going, al out this enterprise in a frank
way. and it Is reasonable to KiipiMwe
that their convention will l>e Influen-
ced in its action by such expressions
iBy C. R. BURNETT, Prea't Natl Aas'n Credit Men.

Income tax laws in 4hi§ country and abroad for
years past recognized the prinaple that the harden
of government expense should be borne by those who
enjoy an income in amotint more than that required
for the absolute necessities of life and that as the
income increases the rates of taxation should be raised
in proportion as the ability to pay of the taxpayers
rises, as in our present system.
Regardless as to what manner of tax is levied,
be it a tax on property, property transfers, corporate
profits, luxuries, general sales or individual incomes,
it must finally be paid from someone's individual income. We have recog-
nized the principle of taxing in proportion to income and ability to pay
and it is impossible to carry this principle through in any other way than
by directly taxing each individual on his individual income in proportion
to his income and ability to pay. 1
If the government were to*levy a tax on the entire income received or
accrued of every individual, then there would be a tax levied on all the
income there is in the country and none would escape.
The committee on federal taxation of the National Association of
CrcditrMcn has snggcatcd that there should be an adjustment of the rates
of taxation on personal incomes (both normal and surtax) to meet the
requirements of the federal budge! It is also in favor of the elimination
of the excess profits tax, the elimination of the corporation income tax,
the substitution of a corporation undistributed earnings tax at a graduated
rate that will have a tendency to encourage payment of dividends, and
also under this plan that dividends should be subject to the normal tax
in the hands of the individual. ^ ■{ <
Today the public is fast coming to realize that the cxcess profits tax,
which was heralded as bearing heavily on the great corporations, is in the
last analysis being paid by the consumers in increased prices for everything
they purchase. To remedy this evil we mupt remove the cause; abolish
this cost of doing business and the cost will cease to be added to the sfelling
price of merchandise. ¥
If congress takes the necessary action to change this condition, no one
will escape taxation, but many who are now being taxed indirectly and
unjustly through high prices of necessities will he relieved of this burden
of the high cost of living. Place the tax on the individual income and you
will reach all the income of the country, including corporation profits as
well as profits of every kind, for the corporation is just a group of people
to whom the profits of the business belong and who, under au individual
income tax, would pay their just share on those profits.

INDICATES NEED OF ADDITION-

If Sujs'rintendent Pyle cared to cast
his calculation of the enrollment fiK-
nres of Sherman's schools this year In
the form of the government census an-
nouncements. Ills figures on the per
eentttge Increase of tlie "population"
this year over last would read 13 3-10
percent. And the figures, we think,
indicate a quite respectably increase.
It Is on increase that is certainly
larger than tlie comparative increase
In.the population of the city at larKe.
The question arises, from whence
comes this surplus of pupils In Sher-
man schools?
Oii|ji does not have to look far to
learn the answer to this question. An
examination of the records will show
that next to the beginners grade, those
showing the largest Increases are in
the Junior and Central High Schools,
especially the former. And a further
examination of the enrollment cards
will reveal that many of the students
enrolled in these grades are students
whose parents live In the adjoining
rural districts and the small towns of
the county, who are sending their
children here to secure the fine edu-
cational advantage* which Sherman
kc'.iooIs offer, especially In the higher
grades.
iFor several yeacs there lias been a
heSV,v enrollment of such students In
th£ high school grades, and this year
there Is no , Reduction, but rather n
gain.
Tlie Increase In enrollment this year
was said to surpass the entire euroll-
uieut at one school, and practically
equal the enrollment at another lu the
city. Such a heavy Increase of stu-
dents can myaiHlntt one thing— that
additional school equipment and fa-
cilities must W provided by the peo-
ple-of the city at'an early date.
A single field of 0.00 acres. In Al-
berta, Canada. Is said to have grown
a million dollars worth of wheat this
year. Will some man who Is good at
figures plottHo tell us how much flour,
.at the retail prl^e, that wheal will

it seem* to be awumed thut legis-
lation will ls necessary in order to es-
tablish such marketing machinery as
that under consideration, and evident-
ly Information Is desired at the start
as to how consumer* look upon the
project. One would naturally -suppose
that stronger reasons than have yet
appeared would be needed ill order to
Kaln consumers' approval of at least
one detail of the plan, namely, that
providing, In case of "over-productIon"
for stc^ige of the "surplus", and per-
haps reduction of acreage In the fol-
lowing season. It Is very Jlkely true
tlint.'as claimed, the Interests of the
public would be safer with the grow-
ers than with the speculators,'though
the public may naturally desire a
stronger guaranty of the benevolent
purposes of the farmer than the prof-
fered declaration that all they want
Is n square deal and a stable market.
There have already ls>e i indications
that no price ever y t received for
wheat has ls en too high to suit nr
least a large clement among the pro-
ducers. ,
Mr. Lyman emphasizes the Import-
ance of remembering that "if this
huge marketing company Is organized
and falls, the cooperative movement
will l>c Injured Immeasurably." Ttnt It
dot>s not appear how a plan of this
character, even"' If fairly carried out
along the line proposed, can be re-
garded as a part of any properly or-
ganised . cooperative movement. It Is
hardly to be imagined that, a mono-
polistic marketing organization, ere.
of wheat growers, would he conducted
with as much regard for the consumer
as for the producer, and a cooperative
Institution to Is* worth having must
Is* as beneficial to the consumer as to
anybody.
