WHIPPING POST URGED
TO HALT CRIME WAVE
Jersey Paster Laments Modern Coddilng
of Evil-Doers.
New York, July 8. —Hie revival of the
whipping post as a deterrent to crime
was advocated by the Rev. Charles H.
Fountain, Baptist minister of Plainfield,
N. J., in a sermon at the opening of the
West Side Religious Forum at the Camp
bell Funeral Church.
Criminals are pampered, Mr. Fountain
asserted, and “if the whipping post could
be established, it would have a beneficial
effect ‘in securing the safety of society.”

NEA Service Writ* "
Washington—The theory of taxation
is that rates should be high enough, but
no higher than necessary, to support an
efficient government; to pay interest on,
and gradually reduce, debts piled up by
preceding governments which failed to
live within their incomes; that tlie bur
den should faH On the -taxpayers in pro
portion to their means.
*'a ; •
This is the of all taxation,
from the federal government's down to
the pettiest township’s.
But when it comes to the question of
tax collection methods, the federal gov
ernment’s theory is one thing, and the
theories of state, county and city govern
ments are “something else again.”
* * *-
The federal governmeut's idea is to
surgareoat its taxes all it can—to rely oh
indirection, particularly the tariff, and
stamp duties, which, while they yield
revenue, do it so subtly that the average
taxpayer doesn't know he’s being taxed.
The income tax isn’t like this, Lord
knows. It’s an exception, however —
an emergency war tax.
Besides, if catches only a minority.
At that, the federal’ government's aware
how unpopular it Is. ‘ . r
Take note—it’sj the/.first federal tax
to be reduced. ’ .X
--* • «.
State and lesser gtjjrermnents prefer]
the Strong-arm metbojf. Summoned intol
city and county ’trolsurcrs’'.offices, the
taxpayer in 'forced to band ’spot cash
through the wickeL’nihder threat of dis
possession of hjg'ipfuperty— like a high
wayman’s victfin surrendering hie dough
at tfie point of to^un.
This exortibb has reached proportions
lately which alarmed some state govern-
BUSINESN AND THE OUTLOOK
Philadelphia Record.
Leaders in trade and industry, who
were misled at the start of the year
into making extravagant predictions of
prosperity for 1025, with an active and
advancing stock-market as the runner-up,
are now content to express confidence
that‘the remaining six imonths indicate
in general a continuance of the condi
tions that have characterized business in
the previous months—not a record gait,
but comparatively satisfying in most
lines. Although there has been-curtail
ment in tloine of thh basic industries, 1 the
process Iras been igrrfdual and hr by no
means a repetition, of last year. Reports
indicate that the retailers and -whole- ■
salers are more than- holding tbeir swn.
with distribution' considerably greater
than i# the same i>eriod of list yearnnd
Hr- larger -volume than in the previous
week. There are -aiso indications of
greater freedom among the retailers in
making commitments.
The Continental and Commercial Bank,
of Chicago, gives this- las the Western
view: , . v- tv:-
“It seems that conditioris and pros
pects are favorable, stampede to
greater business is indieated. No breath
less rush to inordinate-prosperity ■ ap
liears. And no halt fpr repairs is in
sight either. The traffic stream of bus
iness seems to*be moving steadily and
surely along a well pavld, well marked
and well policed highway. If there are
no nrrests for speeding. itgiHier will there
be any for obstructing the traffic.”
Three encouraging phases in the do
mestic business situation are found by
Bradstreet’s as the second half of tile
year opens: “These are the fairly active
buying of seasonal goods at retail, the
cheerful tone in most industries, which,
despite seasonal quieting, find themselves
in better shape as regards operations
than a year ago, and the very decided
turn for better in late planted crops,
especially spring wheat and corn.”
The steel industry appears to have
passed the low point in summer depres
sion. It is believed that operations
at an average rate of 60 to 65 per cent
of capacity wilt be maintained. The
price demoralization seems to have run
its course, and 4he re are present indica
tions of a stability fin quotations such as
EVERETT TRUK gy CQNDO
nd they're
borrowing a few of the federal gprern
( ment's tricks of indirection. r ■
t As a general proposition, however, the
, federal government’s taxation policy is to
be slick and the local governments’ policy
’ is to be crude.
* * *
The explanation? It seems to be
’ this:
The federal government is so far re
moved from the masses of voters as to
be hardly recognizable as their own crea
| ation. If it -arouses their resentment,
they’ll make no allowances.
, “A Washington senator or representa
[ tive fixing Florida’s taxes!” Gotta hf
’ careful.
But a local government? The people
who made it know they made it them
selves. It’s up to them.
Let’s national politician make a mis
-1 take and he can’t explain to the coun
try. Let a local one arouse his consti
tuents’ anger to the boiling point—if he's
smooth enough, he can talk ’em out of
it.
** * '
Federal taxes are high but coming
down. State taxes are higher and com
ing up. County taxes are yet
and coming up still’ faster. City taxes
are highest of all and no rise equals
theirs.
' ' The nearer yon get to the people, who
have the most 'to -say about their own
l local affairs, the worse the situation gets.
[ The natural conclusion is that the pco
‘ aple, basically, are least to be trusted of
ail. , ' !
If* axiomatic that a people gets as
good a government as it deserves. The
American people seem to be getting' Bet
ter ones, alt up and down the line. ‘ 1
Then why so much kicking about
taxes—and other things? We ought to
be pretty well satisfied.
has not been seen in some weeks.
The government's cotton estimate, in
dicating a yield of 14.339.000 bales, was
one of- those surprises that come now
and then. Reports from other cotton
producing countries give good prospects
for increased acreage and larger cropfe.
The lower price of cotton did not affeet
the goods quotations, for they are on
what seems to be a low level. • How
ever. there has been progress in the
textile trades during the past few month*.
The better outlook is heartening to the
trade after a long period of adverse con
ditions. In the wool trade confidence
seems to increase that the sales in Lou
don and in Australia will show, a firm
ness that has been lacking, and that the
’American market will become moTe active
and prosperous than it has been in
months.
The wheat market has become a weath
er and crop affair. Chicago traders are
keeping a close watch on development in
the Northwest, where ruxt continues to
be reported on both sides of the inter
national line, but so far no actual dam
age is. asserted.
