HOW MANY TAXES
DO YOU PAY?
We think the famous firm of
cough-drop manufacturers who
put a big placard in their
window pointing out how
many different sorts of taxes
they have to pay—and, of
course, have to pass on to the
buyers of their cotigh-drops or
else go out of business—are
doing a real public service in
calling the public’s attention to
the layers upon layers of tax
burdens which all of us are
groaning under.
Here Is their list: Federal in-
come tax; Federal excess
profits tax; city tax; county
tax; state tax; automobile li-
cense taxes; Federal oil tax;
. telephone tax; check tax; Fed-
eral capital stock tax; state
franchise tax; city, county and
state taxes on plant in another
state; 'Federal gasoline tax;
state gasoline tax; telegraph
tax; tax for Code Administra-
tion; processing tax on,six dif-
ferent agrciultural items that
enter into their products; state
of Indiana tax on foreign cor-
poration ; state of Oregon tax
on gross receipts; state of
Washington tax on gross re-
ceipts.
“We do our part,” remarks
the placard. We think every-
body will agree that they do.
Nothing could be more de-
sirable than to have every man
and woman become “tax-con-
scious.” Of course, taxes must
be paid; but we think it would
be a good thing for those who
pay them to realize that they
are paying them. It might
make the average man s little
more cautious about voting for
local improvements which are
bound to add to his tax bur-
den; a little less enthusiastic
for state and Federal pro-
grams of huge expenditures of
doubtful benefit to the ordi-
nary citizen.
If every tenant realized that
he is paying the landlord’s
' taxes, every bridge player un-
derstood that he is paying ten
cents tax whenever he buys a
new pack of cards, every cigar-
ette smoker remembered that
six cents out of what he pays
for his pack of twenty smokes
goes ia the Government for
taxes, we might not be so reck-
less about piling up the tax
burden.

If roofs had been stripped
from New York apartments the
last week of September,
strange sights would have
been seen. Because of the
lack of new buildings, many
new tenants were living in the,
halls of buildings while their
apartments were being deco-
rated. One couple we know of
were moved during the week
into four different apartments
in the same building while
waiting for painters to finish
their penthouse on the roof.
The story is told in New
York that furniture and fami-
lies waited patiently on the
sidewalks as long as fourteen
hours when trying to get into
Knickerbocker Village, the
new apartment development
for white collar workers erect-
ed on the site of old tenements.
Knickerbocker Village has a

tors and no service elevators.

THE ELECTION OUTLOOK
Washington, Oct. 22.—The
outlook for any important in-
crease in the number of Re-
publicans in the next Congress
grows dimmr as election ap-
proaches. The most experi-
ence! observers here now do not
look for aa many as fifty addi-
tional Republcian Congress-
men, and a good many of those
will probably be of extreme'
radical tendencies. It is quite
thinkable that the President’s
principal trouble with thei
next Congress will be to keep
it from taking the bit in its
teeth and runhing away with
legislation far beyond th.e
most radical ideas which Mr.
Roosevelt has been accused of
harboring.
Some of the wisest onlookers
in Washington have expressed
surprise that the Republican.
Party has not developed a
single issue of national impor-
tance on which to conduct its
Congressional campaigns. The
one issue on which the party-
might have been expected to
make a stand is that of Federal
Relief. There are pretty plain
hints of scandalous revelations
to tome in the administration
of re f of all sorts; but re-
gardless of that, almost every-
body is agreed that it cannot;
continue indefinitely, and that
the way in which the amount
of Federal money poured into
the states has been used by
many Congress candidates as
an argument why they should
be re-elected is little short • of
scandalous.
A New PoKcstl Venture
Political administration of
relief is a novelty in American
affaire. Heretofore, in previ-
ous depressions, the Red Cross,
the Salvation Army, the Com-
munity Chests, municipalities,
counties and—rarely—state
governments have seen to it
that enough food and shelter
to maintain life were provided
for the unfortunate out of
work. There are no statistics
of the number of unemployed
in the major depressions, of
which there were at least three
between the Civil (War and
the World War, but the ques-
tion is being raised whether
the proportion of those who
needed to be helped was not as
great, compared to the total
population and wealth of the
nation, as it is now.
There is a decided feeling
here that most of the Republic-
an candidates and leaders
have deliberately pussyfooted
this issue, feeling that the mass,
of the voters would be resent-j
ful of any suggestion that the
helping hand of Uncle Sam
should be withdrawn. Afte.
the Congressional elections,
perhaps, more will be heard on
this subject. It is one which is
giving a great many thought-
ful men in both parties, in the
Administration and out of it, a
great deal of concern.
The Monetary Situation
Mr. William R. Hearst,
newspaper publisher who sup-
ported Roosevelt for the Presi-
dency but has sinee been em-
phatic in opposition through
his powerful chain of dailies,
spent a night at the White
House-last week. He express-
ed the opinion that business
conditions are improving, and
that things will look brighter
by next Spring. But he, too,
was sharp in his warning that
the Government cannot much
longer continue to spend the
people’s money wholesale;
that it cannot, indeed, get the
money to spend by any process
short of monetary inflation. , ■
There was quite a flurry
over the coincidence of Senator
Bulkley's statement, after r.
visit to the White -House, that
the dollar might be further de-
valued, and the call on the
President, on the same day, of
Professor Warren of Cornell,
who is supposed to be respon-
sible for some of the more radi-
cal of the Administration’s
monetary policies. Mr. Roose-
velt took pains to make it clear
that be was not contemplating
any inflationary moves at this
time. But he delivered quits
an impressive lecture on his in-
tention to raise commodity
prices still further.
Before tbe War Prices
It turns out that the price
level of 1926, which has been
assumed to be the goal at
which the Administration was
aiming, is not that, precise!^
The effort is to be the estab-
lishment at the parity between
farm prices and manufactured
commodity prices which exist-
ed before the war.
Just how this is to be
brought about the President
lid not explain. He thought
relative prices of many com-
modities were out of line,
which leads to the belief that
a material reduction in some
prices will be countenanced
and encouraged from Wash-
ington.
Lower prices, many manu-
facturers and distributors
have been pointing out, will
mean more sales and conse-
quently a larger volume of
business and increased employ-
ment. In some quartets the
President’s remarks are inter-
preted as indicating that thei
Administration is prepared to
abandon its effort to raise
wages first and to force all
prices up to pay the higher
wages, but is willing to let
business try ^ower price, in
some consumer goods, to meet
the pockeibooks of a public
that is counting its pennies
more carefully than ever be-
fore.
Nevertheless, the warning
comes from the 'Administra-
tion itself that meat prices and
other prices of farm products
are due for much greater in-
creases than have yet come
about. The efforts of the AAA
to raise farm incomes must be
supplemented, many observ-
ers here bolieve, by inflation-
ary measures if they are to
succeed.
The Years Ahead
There is beginning to be
talk about “years" that will be
required for complete re-
covery. The idea that anything
of vital importance can be
made to happen in a few weeks
or a few months is losing sup-
porters. There is a pretty gen-
eral consensus in Washington
that, while recovery is definite-
ly on its way, and material
progress has been made, it is
futile to think of 1938 or ’36
or even, perhaps, 1940, as the
time when the nation’s eco-
nomic situation will be as good
aa it was, say, in 1926.
