TWO KINDS OF TAX
REDUCTION
There are two kinds of tax re
duction.
One may be termed "political"
tax reduction. Thi^ the mopt com
mon type, is characterized by fi
nancial slight-of-hand which at
tempts to persuade the public that
it is passible to lower taxe3 and at
tha same time spernd more money.
Ito usual method 13 to give the citi
*en back one dollar to put in his
pocket ? while smoothly taking two
dollars out of another [pocket. To
'provide a concrete example, i/t will
lower taxes on real estate a bit, and
fit the 3ame time boost taxes on in
come, on investments, or on com
modities.
Then there is "real" tax reduct
ion ? a very rare type in these
times. It ap|preciates the fact that
there u one, and only one way by
iwhich government can reduce coots
? ? spending less money. When gov
ernment retrenches, eliminates
waste, duplication of activity and
unnecessary bureaus, the citizen
jgeta holiest tax rdeuction.
Thajt ds what the country needs
now ? and nothing could contribute
more to the furtherance of ercov
ery. Millions of dollars are going
to the tax collector which, if releas
ed to private industry, would be
used to provide jobs, to raise
wages, to pay interest on securities,
to provide industrial development.
Industry U stagnant today. And
the arize of its tax bill, which is still
growing, is as much to blaime as
any other item.
Every worker ? whether he digs
ditches or sits in an executive's
chair ? is vitally inteirestodi n this.
Our whole national future is at
Atake. 1

KEEP THE HOMES FIRES
"FRIENDLY''
A ^friendly" lire stays inside the
stove or furnace where it belongs
and serves to keep man comfortable.
When fire escapes from confine
ment it becomes decidely unfriend
ly"!
How often fires do becogne un
friendly is -emphasized in a report
d the National Board of Under
writers. "In 1982," It states, "fires
caused by stoves, furhaces, boilers
and their pdpesv required in a prop
erty loss olf $17,916,783. Anothea
cause of fire^ which is closely allied
with stoves, ds defective chimneys
and flues. In 1932 fires originat
ing in this i?ay caused a loss of
?$24,702,201. A third contributing
cause is hot ashes, cdals and op an
fires, which accounted for a loss of
$5,002,672. These three alone, with
a total of $47,621,556, resulted ir*
11 per cent of the nation's entire
fire waste that year."
Necessary precautions are simple:
Make certain that the stove, furnace
aind smoke pdpes are cleared *of
fjoipt. Replace worn, broken otr
rusted-out parts. Keep burnable
material away from smoke pipes o
any part that becomes '.xtremely
hot.
If you aer the "fireman"' in your
house see to it that the stove or
furance does not became overheated
? use common sense in operating
the equipment atrwd never force it.
Use a metal container for ashes.
Be sure that all open fires are care
fully screened.
Efficient equipment and careful
handling make for economy. Fires
are a tremendous and needless ex
pense, and everyone must help |;>ay

SAFETY AND UNIFORM
TRAFFIC LAWS
National uniformity off traffic
law and ordinances may come much
nearer reality if plains of the Amer

Administrate rs prove successful. To
promote the use of model traffic
standards established by the Nation
al Conference an Street and Highway
iSafety and sponsored Iby the Unit
ed States D apartment of Commerce,
the Association hate del emiined .to
ask the legislatures of 44 states
convening this winter to thorough
ly review their existing motor ve
hicle codes. This suggestion is sig
nificant because the Association's
membership is icompoaed of the
chief officers of the motor vehicle
depaTtmjent^ of 48 states, the Dis
trict of Columbia and all the Ca
nadian provinces.

one of the chief (benefits to be de

"A majority tof the officials and
members of the public agree, *' Mr.
Hall says, 't'hat the enforcement of

rules and regulations. In addition,
confused ?tate laws governing re

the average citizen to ask this
question: If state government i
can not agree, why should I ? A

laws is usually tho result, ami ir.

THE PRINCIPLES OF GREAT
NESS
A3 nations go, the United States
is a very young country. Where
<we have 150 yeaa-s 0. history be
hind us, other powers have thous
ands.
Yet no nation can point to a more
inspiring past ? or to a history
?which has given finer traditions.
America sprang (full-fledged from
the hearts and minds of that hand
ful of patriots who dedicated their
lives to freeing us from foreign
(monarchic d<|minat(ion, and fbo es
tablishment of a Republic which
should have as its guiding princi
ples, freedom, equality, the right to
own property and the right to hap
piness.
There is a growing danger that,
in seeking to conquer the perplexi
ties of the moment ? "casual em
barrassment" in the life of a nat
ion, to use the great Jefferson^
wrt-ds ? we shall lose or weaken
?some of those traditions which our
forefathers bought for us with blood
and toil and self-sacrifice. If we
solve temporary troubles at the ex
pense of permanent blessings, the
victory will be hard won indeed. If
we tamper with out ideal of frae*
dom, the United Sjtates (will have
little to look forward to in the
future.
Every American should resolve,
with tha deepest sincerity, to do aU
he can to cherish, otpr otect, and to
continue those principles of freedom
? freedom of press, of thought, of
ireligion; fteedom to do what we will
so long as others are not injured by
our actions ? which have made our
country the greatest of all great
natiotns. In ail the weltar of ex
periment and criticism that envel
opes the entire world, no one has
been able to offar a plan of govern
ment that gives the <r*?dinary man
so much a3 does our*
Are the Constitution of the Unit
ed States and the Declaration of
Independence ? the greatset libert
arian documents evor written ? to
become dead letters, or are they to
| continue to guide us in the f utura ?
MARKETS AND RECOVERY
Eyery facility that adds to the
ease, rapidty arid cheapness of (dis
tribution quickens commrverece and
increases the sum of human happi
ness the world over, accordiln^ to
the Grain Committee on National
Affairs, which some months ago
made a comprehensive survey of
farm and market problems.
In its reports to Congress it was
ioIso declaired that "every ^blunder
that slows down or impedes world
distribution becomes a crime a
gainst humanity." The conclusions
of the committee are based on the
idea, ttv / generally accepted, that
mtan made barriers are largely re
spopjible for surplus in one spot
and want in another.
Legislative tinkering with time
tried and efficient marketing ma
chinery, including the grain ex
changes, has been a detriment to
agriculture, instead of a help. The
threat of further restrictions caai
fterve only to aggravate an already
difficult situation.
In the opinion of most experienced
observers, free and open grain mar
kets in this country, and the open
ing of export channels closed by
political blundering of part year?*,
will bring 'prosperity to the Ameri
can farmer, and thereby hasten re
covery for country at large.

THE AVERAGE MAN
Who 13 the average American?
The question was (raised recently
by President Roosevelt in his Green
Boy speech. " Those who would
measure confidence in this country
in the future," he said on that oc
casion, "must first look oji the av
erage citizen." <
It has remained for the economist
of a down-town firm to look into
the statistics and tell us what man
ner of perscfri this ''average citi
zen* actually -is ? lie appear 3 to b*
not all the dissatisfied anti -capital
ist. H>e is a person who i3 gain
fully employed the greater part of
the time Outside of the larger
cities every second average mar.
owns hi3 own home. The average
.family has an automobile. Eight
or ten million average citizens own
stocks or bonds, and as depositors
in our banks ad holders ,of ir.urance
policies four or five time3 that
number are indirect holdois of se
curities.
''The average man," concludes
the author of this little statistical
study, "is a oapitaJis. He has no
patience with socialism or commun
ism as he understands these philo
sophie3r/ though recently hd has?
been taking doses otf both under
misleading label 3."
It might be well to keep these
simple facts in mind. This avsrage
(man cannot be very confident if he
does not know that he is going to
keep his job. He cannot be confi
dent if he cannot oount on the main
tenance of the purchasing power of
(his income. He cannot be confident
if he cannot look forward to a
measure of security for himself and
(his family in his later years as a
reward for hard work and thrift.
And he cannot ibe confident unless
he is assured that business i3 on

THE YEARS AHEAD
The primary ambition of all ,men
is to assure adequate economic pro
tection for themselves and their- de
pendents in the future.
Of the many who aspire to that,
few achieve ifo. An overwhelming
parcmtalge |Off jnen became penni
less dependents in old age, and
mu3t be Sustained by relatives ?r
organized charity. Many such men
were ctnce wealthy. Many more
once held good jobs, which provid
ed substantial surpluses above tha
incline necessary for livelihood.
Many managed to build up sizeabla
estates, only to see them swept a
way by one financial cataclysm or
ar.ch.her. Thajt was the case oven
jbaforo dojpressiotn, tynd during the
last few years an infinitely great
er than normal number of people
have faced the tragic problem of
approaching old-age without money
?r savings.
The artrn to be followed in any*
savings plan is security, rather than
profit ? small dividends (from in
vestments which offer maximum
protection to principal, are fait1 bet
ter than possible largo profits from
unsafe investments. Many excel
lent savings |piatns are offered to
parsons of all earning capacities ?
plans which permit ? th9 investment
of a dollar a (month of a thousand
dollars. Life insurance, through its
various types off annuity and in
vestment policies, is one of the
best, as its fine record (hiring the
last five tryfng years has defmon
sttratc<L While businesses went
under, estates were dwarf ed or dis
appeared, and investments that
once seemed irobi-clad were swept
away, that institution oanried on as
usual.
Whatever the pdan, ev3ry man
should prerare for old age. Dollars
that are earned /with comparative
ease today will cofrne hmrd Jndaed
when the [pfr'tliod of greatest pro>

years ahead.
