July finds the Sun again on his most directly overhead, in a very

For instance, the bill provides and
that American employers must:
pay “security taxes” in 1936
(next year) aggregating $367,-: Carolina sold last Friday
000,000: on 1937 pavrolls, $781,- $3,304,000 in bonds at an interest
000,000, and on 1938 pavroll^5, ; '’at® 2.72 per cent, the lowest rate
$1,068,000,000. Compare these , ever assured by this state. The next
lowest and lowest to date was the
taxes with the $397,00,000 paid
in Federal income taxes in 1934
by American corporations, and
one gets some idea of the bur
dens involved.
In brief, just as indications ap
pear that the nation is begin
ning to move out of depression
and industry shows signs of re
viving, Congress proposes to slap
on new taxes which by 1938 will
be two and one-half times as
great as the 1934 corporation in

Certainly there is a grave
3.76 per cent rate on $12,230,000 in
bonds sold June 12, 1934. This new
rate is more than one per cent less.
