TAX REDUCTIONS IN PAST 5 YEARS Also Figures Showing Status Of Industries Through the enactment of the new federal tax law the third decrease in taxes since the war has been made. Total internal revenue taxes in 1920 were four and a half billion dollars; in 1922, three billions; in 1923, two billion six hundred thousand dollars; in 1924, two billion eight hundred thousand dollars; in 1925, two and a half billion dollars; in 1926, they will be two billion six hundred thousand dollars; in 1927, two billion dollars. Before the World war two-thirds of the national revenues came from customs duties; how customs duties constitute less than one-fifth of the total. Internal revenue taxes have been reduced one-half in six years. Of the total of $2,200,000,000 derived from internal revenue taxes during the present fiscal year, $1,600,000,000 comes from individual and corporate income; $245,000,000 from tobacco; $228,000,000 from special and excise taxes. No country in the world has made a record comparable with that of the United States in the reduction of taxes through decreases in public expenditures, and in the stabilization of finances. The opinion is expressed by Chairman Green of the House committee on ways and means that due to the vast expansion of the activities of government, it is improbable that federal expenditures can be greatly reduced from the present figure. The rapid payments on the public debt however, decrease yearly interest charges to be met from taxation, and payments by foreign governments on debts due the United States will be a substantial new source of revenue. While the federal government has been economizing state and local governments health higher and higher the burden of taxation. Aggregate public loans by state and local governments during the decade before the World war averaged about $302,000,000. In 1924 such loans aggregated $1,339,000. from transportation and public utility companies; $417,000,000 or 16.2 per cent; from banking, insurance and financial corporations; $281,000,000 or 10.9 per cent; from companies engaged in trade; $189,000,000 or 5.1 per cent from mining and quarrying companies; $65,000,000 or 2½ per cent; from public service (hotel, theater, etc.); $29,000,000 or 11.1 per cent from agricultural and similar corporations and $22,000,000 or 9.9 per cent from construction companies.

The commission gurate a policy for regard and desired those affected and suggestions.

February While the federal government has been economizing, state and local governments health higher and higher, the burden of taxation. Aggregate public loans by state and local governments during the decade before the World War averaged about $302,000,000. In 1924 such loans aggregated $1,839,000,000 and in 1925 $4,841,000,000. The industrial conference board has made an analysis of the expenditures of state and local revenues in 1928. It shows that of the total 28.4 per cent was expended for education and libraries; 20.5 went for highways; 16.8 percent for interest and retirement of public debt; 6.8 per cent for protection of person and property; 6.1 per cent for the operation of public utilities; 5.5 per cent for general overhead, including the judiciary; 4.8 per cent for sanitation, sowers, health departments, etc., and about the same percentage for the maintenance of penal, correctional and bendvolent institutions. In other words, these vast sums are being spent for purposes favored by the general public, and in response to the pressure of public opinion. Commercial records of 1924 indicate that the economic stability of pre-war days has been re-established. fluctuations in prices were less last year than during any year since 1915. Holiday business was the largest in the history of the country. The world had 25,973,928 automotive vehicles in operation on January 1, which is $2,273,000 more than last year. The United States predominated with 19,699,436. Great Britain had 1,474,573; France -855,000; Canada -725,594; Germany -529,830; Italy -184,700; Argentina -181,250; Brazil -64,950; Russia -18,500; and Tibet 1. The total for passenger cars alone was 20,799,151 against 18,578,750. The petroleum output of the United States in 1925 exceeded all previous records. The total was about 764,000,000 barrels, an increase of 7 per cent over the 1924 return and of 4.3 per cent over the previous record-breaking total of 1923. World production of crude oil was 1,064,000,000 barrels. Incorporated business enterprises in the United States, which in 1923 reported an aggregate net income of $9,269,000,000 paid out of this amount $2,572,000,000 or more than a fourth (27.7 per cent) in taxes to federal, state and local governments, exclusive of special assessments or betterment levies. Of the total $986,000,000 or 38.4 per cent came from manufacturing companies; $625,000,000 or 24.3 per cent, FAIR PLAY IN THE FOREST The spirit of fair play is one of our American traditions. We meet it in business on the athletic field and during the social hour. Yet many of our citizens, both young and old, when they visit the national forests, seem to forget this spirit of the square deal. They play most unfair with the courtesy of their host. Uncle Sam. Tin cans and rubbish-befeled camp grounds; smouldering fires which result in blackened hillsides are all too common monuments to the American tourist's discourtesy. The "tin can tourist" is becoming a disgrace to our outdoors. The spirit of fair play in the forest always remembers the other fellow. He too wants a green forest to play or rest in a clean spot to pitch his tent on a pure stream to drink from. When you visit the woods next summer, remember to play fair—do your share—and help tell the other fellow. A SURE SIGN "This restaurant must be a safe place to dine." "Why?" "There's the proprietor eating at a table over there." A good many congressmen must think that tax relief means relieving the people of their money by taxation. February February Surpasses the Greatest January WHAT the public thinks of Dodge Brothers Motor Car is impressively reflected in current sales. January, 1926, was the greatest January in Dodge Brothers history. Yet February, with actual retail deliveries of 18,516 cars, surpassed it by 24 per cent!

Mann DODGE DISTRIBUTOR Meeting to Discuss Fish Protection All Disputes Over Law to Be Settled at Conference Representatives of more than eighty power companies, irrigation districts, private water companies and individuals interested in the maintenance of fish screens and fish ladders in the principal streams of California, will gather in San Francisco on Wednesday, March 31, on invitation of B. D. Marx Greene, executive officer of the California fish and game commission, to discuss matters of great interest to the sponsor of the state. The meeting will be held at the commission's headquarters at the Postal Telegraph building. Buttery and market streets, at 10 & 4 m. According to Greene, virtually all those concerns bidden to attend and take part in this conference have signified a willingness to be represented. In the past considerable friction has existed between the commission and various persons and companies affected by the act; making it mandatory to maintain screens and ladders for fish in the principal streams of the state, and Greene declares it his belief that the time is opportunity to settle all difficulties and plan for the future. With this end in view, officials charged with enforcement of screen and ladder laws have recommended to the commission's executive that such a meeting be held, where a free expression of opinion on both sides of the question will serve to clarify the situation. The commission desires to inaugurate a policy for the future in this regard and desired first to consult those affected and ask their aid and suggestions. Greene has declared it his opinion that there is no necessity for an antagonistic attitude on either side, and that the commission is more than willing to cooperate, in every particular, to the end that the laws affecting fish screens and ladders may be enforced without working a hardship upon anyone. 23rd day of October, 1919, which said specifications are on file in the office of the City Clerk of said City.
