YOUR TAXES
THE rising tide of governmental expenses (and the resulting increase in practically every phase c? taxation)
has become a menace that is threatening the very foundations of the economic and social order of
America.. The following open letter, dealing with this condition, has been placed before every employee
of the Norfolk and Western Railway. It is reproduced here, because the subject is one that vitally affects,
not only the Norfolk and Western and its employees, but every industry and every citizen in every com
i munity in the country:
TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE NORFOLK AND W ESTERN FAMILY:
A condition has arisen in the nation's economic and political situation that
demands careful consideration and action on the part of every citizen of the United
States
The condition which prompts this open letter is the cost of government and
the continuing Hood tide of governmental expenditures, both of which must be
curtailed before » e can hope to see any permanent improvement in general business
conditions, in the financial and traffic situation of our railway, or in our individual
progress, prosperity and success
Every citizen knows, but few consistently remember, that the funds for all
governmental expenses and expenditures (federal, state, county or municipal) are
provided by taxes Taxes, in turn, are paid by every person, every business and
every industry, either directly or indirectly Moreover, taxation that affects the
amount paid by an industry, for instance, usually affects the amount paid by indi
viduals and vice versa. The result of this situation is that every business or pro
fessional man, and every wage earner is, or should be, vitally interested in taxation
and consequently in the cost of government And only as the cost of government
is reduced can our personal and business taxes be reduced.
The present situation is well illustrated by the taxes of the Norfolk and
Western Railway. In 1921 the railway's tax accruals were $4,730,000, of which
$1,157,430.68 was for federal government taxes and $3,572,569 32 for state, county
and municipal government taxes Ten years later, in 1931, the railway's tax
accruals totaled $8,150,000, of which $2,390,000 was for federal taxes and $5,760,000
for state, county and municipal taxes The railway's federal tax bill last year was
106 49 percent greater than it was in 1921; its state, county and municipal tax
bill was 61 23 percent greater and its total tax bill 72 3 percent greater than it
was ten years ago. Probably more than 25 percent of our national income for 1931
will be paid in taxes Neither corporations nor individuals can hope for improve
ment under such conditions.
What is true of the railroad's taxes is likewise true of your taxes and the taxes
of all business and industry Taxes could be reduced if every citizen would become
interested in governmental expenditures and express that interest to those who
have been or will be elected to public office
Simply stated, it is my sincere hope that every member of the Norfolk and
Western Family will carefully study the rising cost of local, county, state and
national government and forcefully express to your legislators the inevitable re
sult of this study—that governmental expenses and expenditures must be curtailed
so that taxes can be reduced and industry, as well as individuals, be given a chance
to recover from the economic stagnation that has gripped our country for two
years
Very truly yours,
