THE TAX MENACE
AMONG
BARNWELL COUNTY RELIEF
COUNCIL ORGANIZED HERE
CRISIS (CONTINUED
V
By FRANCIS H. SISSON
President American Bankers Association
KIO danger, economic or social, more
seriouslyvmenaces our life, happi
ness and prosperity than the rising tide
of taxes which
threaten to engulf
us. This is not sim
ply a problem of
F. H. SISSON
has been develop
ing for many years,
growing more fe-
rious all the time.
The depression
merely brought it
to a climax. Un
less drastic steps
are taken to re-
verse * this trend
the problem will
not end with the depression. It will
continue to weigh down and retard
progress for an indefinite period.
In city, county, state and nation the
orgy of spending has run on. It is esti
mated that in the United States the
total cost of all government is nearly
five times what it was before the
World War. Many localities have been
brought to the verge of bankruptcy by
their expenditures, while many have
saddled theirtdtizens with a debt bur
den that will darken their lives and
hamper their progress for years to
come.
The total cost of Federal, state and
local government in the United States
is estimated at forty-six million dollars
a day. Based on national income in
1930, this represents about one-fifth the
total income of our people, or about
$110 for every individual in the na
tion. Total taxes in 1931 are esti
mated to have taken more than 22 per
cent of the national income. It is occa
sion for serious thought on the part of
everyone when one day’s income out of
every four or five must be contributed
to the maintenance of government ma
chinery.
Reductions Possible
United States Government expendi
tures were reduced one hundred and
forty million dollars during the first
quarter of the current fiscal year. The
recent action of bankers in calling a
halt to unnecessary expenditures of
New York City as prerequisite to loans
will reduce the cost of government in
the country's metropolis, which is sec
ond in its expenditures to only the
Federal Government. No state in the
Union, in fact, no other government
on this hemisphere, spends half as
much as this one city. These savings
in Federal and municipal costs are only
the beginning of a movement needed
throughout the country, if we are to
be led out of depression into pros
perity.
Unless the people can be made to
realize that money for governmental
expenditure can come only from their
own pockets at taxpayers, casting de
pressing effects on both individual ef
fort and general business, there is an
imminent threat that we may be forced
to meet economic difficulties similar to
those that have so seriously handi
capped other countries. The question
is not primarily one of merely paring
government salaries or shaving budg
ets, but rather of curtailing govern
ment activities for which we cannot
afford to pay.
The idea that money for these mount
ing extravagances can be raised by fol
lowing the slogan "Soak the Rich” is
utterly fallacious, for such a policy
will simply exterminate "the rich” and
eliminate sources of revenue. It.is also
Important to realize that corporate
business in this country is in no posi-
r Hon to-withstand the effects of indefi
nite advances in tax rates. Current
earning reports reveal that fact be
yond shadow of doubt. The tax base
must be broadened, and it therefore
seems likely that ^Congress will be
called upon to reconsider the sales tax,
at least as a temporary measure to help
meet a critical condition in the nation’s
finance.

Deposit ‘Guarantee 9
Fails of Purpose
LOS ANGELES.—While the idea of
the guarantee of bank deposits by
some legally enforced plan seems to
appeal to many people who give it
casual thought, the fact Is that it
has not only failed in every instance
in the eight states where the experi
ment was tried, but actually produced
unsoubd banking and increased the
number of failures, it was declared by
the recent convention of the American
' Bankers Association held here.
“Guaranty of bank deposits carries
an idea that naturally appeals to peo
ple in general on casual consideration,”
the declaration said. “However, In
principle it is unsound and in practice
it is unworkable. It has been tried in
eight States and it has not only failed
in every case, but it has resulted In
increasing the number of bank fail
ures. Taxing properly managed banks
to make up losses of failed' banks is
not only unfair and unreasonable, but
it weakens the whole banking struc
ture. Again, guaranty ot deposits
places the incompetent and reckless
banker on an equal footing with the
able and conservative banker, which
encourages bad banking at the ex
pense of sound banking. We are there
fore opposed to the passage of any
law carrying a guaranty of bank de
posits and believe that it is against th
interest of the people of the Ur
States to develop any such nv*
special committee and no money will
be allotted where a member of a
family applying for charity. can do
manual labor.
All work will be done under 1 the
strict supervision of the government,
and Senator Brown says that if the
county organization functions as he
hopes it will, it i s anticipated that
the allotment will be increased during
the months of January, February and
March to take care of the unemploy
ment situation and thereby relieve the
suffering that will come without such
employment.

.. .A TELEPHONE
C/4.S a Christmas gift, a telephone is unusual, and
most useful. When you give your family a telephone, you
give a service that will run errands anywhere, any time,
in all kinds of weather.
You give your family ready access to friends, which
means many pleasant social gatherings that might other
wise be missed.
You give a certain protection in emergencies, for
who knows when it will be necessary to call the doctor—
the police—the fire department ?
You give your family a priceless gift—quick, easy,
two-way voice communication for every day of the year.
Think hovt much it means to have that familiar
instrument—the telephone—forming a link between your
home and the outside world, and you 'will agree that the
telephone has all the essential qualities of the ideal
Christmas gift. 4
And the cost ic so small that it doesn’t begin to com
pare with the value. It is wise to ordar now, so that
Christmas day will find your telephone in place, ready to
serve.
