Another "Agreement" Fades Another gentlemen's agreement is said to have gone by the board, which is probably not to be wondered at too greatly, as international agreements now go. This agreement is one which is said to have been entered in to by Japan and the United States for cutting down the export of cloth from the Mikado's empire into our country. According to Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, the Massachusetts Congresswoman, who usually knows whereof she speaks, imports of cotton goods from Japan to the United States are growing. Imports of belached cloth from the Japanese to our country, it is said, in the year 1935 were five times greater than they were the year previous, 117 times greater than in 1933, and 584 times greater than in 1932. The record for printed cotton cloth is an impressive one, too. The imports were five times greater in 1934, seven times greater than in 1933, and eight and one-half times the imports for 1932. Other imports from Japan are given as follows: Cotton handkerchiefs, 3½ times as many in 1935 as in 1934, 44 times as many as 1933, and 404 times as many as in 1932. Cotton velveteens :Imports in 1935, 21 times greater than in 1934, with little or no import of the material from Japan before that time. On the other hand, it is stated that exports of cotton from the United States to Japan for February, 1936, show a decrease in the international woodpile, and he is not doing Uncle Sam any good. Speaking of the comparative situation Mrs. Rogers says. "Employers and employees of every foreign nation have looked upon this country with envy and admiration. They know that the workers in the United States have been paid higher wages than labor in all other nation in the world. Today they look upon us with amazement. They think we are allowing countries such as Japan take our trade from us, and they know that eventually it will mean that our worker will be paid less in order to compete with poorly paid foreign labor." If we continue, we shall become the laughing-stock of the entire world. Cleveland foreign countries will gladly take advantage of us. We must halt before it is too late." Evidently international agreements relative to imports and exports are not always kept any better than any other international commitments. For examples of the latter kind, we can refer to Mussolini and Hitler, to say nothing of the many varied debt agreements which Uncle Sam holds with European nations. Japan, a most favored nation, benefits every time Secretary Hull makes one of these recent tariff agreements with another nation. The way she appreciates this is indicated by the cotton trade record of the past two or three years. as follows: Cotton handkerchiefs, 3½ times as many in 1935 as in 1934, 44 times as many as 1933, and 404 times as many as in 1932. Cotton velveteens: Imports in 1935, 21 times greater than in 1934, with little or no import of the material from Japan before that time. On the other hand, it is stated that exports of cotton from the United States to Japan for February, 1936, show a decrease of 65 per cent over the exports in January, and a decline of 44 per cent in the exports over the amount in February, 1935.

TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Built in a span of 25 years to meet the demands of a new age in transportation, California's street and highway system—the finest longest, broadest, most extensive network of roads in the civilized world—has cost California taxpayers more than a billion dollars! The state highway system alone has accounted for an outlay of nearly $700,000,000, according to a study just completed by the California Taxpayers' Association. And city streets and county roads have boosted the total well over the billion-dollar mark. Since the magic strains of "Come Away With Me, Lucille, In My Merry Oldmobile" first made an amazed upward to phenomenal totals. Back in 1906, when automobiles were "horseless carriages" and dirt roads were corrugated speedways—when reckless youth dashed over the country-side at 20 miles an hour, and gay young blades swaggered in gauntlets, goggles and linen dusters — California boasted a grand total of 6,428 cars! But by 1910, youth was saying, "Watch My Smoke!" And old-stars were busily forming "good roads' committees". In that year, California's auto registration registrations topped 100,000. And paved highways had become front page news. Monies collected here), $53,890,-230; auto licenses and fees, $155,-721,408; gross receipts' taxes on trucks and buses, $8,755,058. Also of interest is the fact that the State, during the past 25 years, has allocated back to the various counties more than $160,000,000 in highway funds collected by means of the gas tax and license fees. When the California farmer goes to market, he pays his pro rata of highway costs in gasoline taxes; he pays again at the beginning of each year in license fees and, for the first time this year, a new "in lieu" tax on his car's valuation. The city motorist pays a similar schedule, with each gallon of gas being taxed 3 cents by the state and 1 cent by the federal government. Whether commercial vehicles—trucks, trailers and buses—are paying their just proportion of the highway overhead is an issue now under debate in many sections of the State and a question which will require thorough inquiry before a satisfactory answer can be given.

THE ALL-IMPORTANT QUERY—"Who pays the bill for California high ways?"—is answered in the analysis made public by the California Taxpayers' Association, at least insofar as state roads are concerned. California motorists, through their contributions under the state gasoline tax, are the heaviest contributors. Since the gas tax was first adopted in 1923, revenues from this source for highway purposes have totaled the huge sum of $327,920,722! Highway bond issues — the method of financing used during the early days of road construction—accounted for $74,115,830; general state taxation, $60,048,818; federal aid (largely a return to California of federal gas tax) SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS Santa Ana, California.

WASHINGTON SNAP-SHOTS There is some underground muttering going on in Washington these days that the earthquake experts ought to be able to record on their seismographs. It has to do with taxes. There are at least two sizable groups of mutterers: Those who object to passing any sort of tax bill in election year; and those who feel positive that the tax bill should be sugar-coated. Until the last few days, the latter weren't muttering much. The tax bill moving sluggishly toward one statute books was well sugar-coated. It was called, primarily, tax on "corporation surpluses." Which meant little to the Omaha talkman, for it was hard for him to see a connection between himself, $803,000,000 in new taxes, and the squander-spro. But now things have changed, just as the second group of mutters hoped they wouldn't but were afraid they would. Senator Robert LaFollette, the Progressive, has emphasized something that the mutterers wanted to talk about. What he proposes specifically is this: He would reduce from $2,500 to 1,500 the amount of money a politics to boost taxes on the little man just before he casts his ballot. But it also poor politics to talk about that openly. So the mutterers mutter, and hope nobody will hear their mutterings. LaFollette, as one Congressional leader put it, "has blown the lid off." But instead of accepting LaFollette's plan, the chances are 10 to 1 Congress will defeat it. Meanwhile, the eventual extraction from the small man's pocket will get bigger for the debt will keep piling up and the interest will keep growing. There is also a small, third group of mutterers. They found a "joker" in the tax bill submitted to the House. Its purpose was to have something on the statute books that would be hard on the holding companies if the Supreme Court ruled out the utilities holding company act, which caused such bitter debate last year. The tax bill "joker" would in effect increase from around 10 to 42% per cent the tax on income that goes to a holding company. And such an increase, on top of other taxes, would virtually wipe out the remaining holding companies, not only utilities but others as well. WHEN DO WE EAT A large delegation marched into Capitol Hill not to find out how many fish the president caught, La Follette has served notice that when the time arrives, he intends to offer an amendment to the tax bill which would broaden the income tax base. He does not intend to wait until after the election. What he proposes specifically is this: He would reduce from $2,500 to $1,500 the amount of money a married man may earn without paying income taxes. He would reduce from $1,000 to $800 the amount a single person may earn. He would then raise the tax rate from 4 to 6 per cent on the small incomes and step them up all along the line to $40,000. La Follette's reasons are that he thinks, like everybody who knows the value of money, that debts should be paid. And he realizes that it would be impossible to get the necessary money from the folks who make more than $50,-100 a year. The other advocates of the new tax bill knew that too. But they hoped to soft-pedal the question until next session of Congress. They figured that then they could cap a tax bill through without living the Omaha-milkman, or the Iowa farm hand, enough advance notice to protest. The only argument they can advance now is that it is poor WHEN DO WE EAT A large delegation marched into Capitol Hill not to find out how many fish the president caught, but to demand a six billion relief program.
