Representative Macßae wanted to know if a flat tax would not be fairer than a graduated tax. it »vould," t|eclared 1 Mr. New-some, "or otherwise you' would have three merchants paying different rates of tax competing side by side and that would be intoler-j able." Mr. Dowell took a somewhat dif-! ferent view. "1 know of one merchant who, makes $25,000 in normal times on a turnover of SIOO,OOO and another merchant who makes the same $25,- 01)0 in normal times on a turnover of $400,000," he declared. When Mr. Newsome turned to sug gested source's of revenue, he en countered another series of ques tions. t H Farlier in the hearing he had declined j to, express an opinion on the Mac- Lean bill with its principle of State support of the six months School without ad valorem taxes. Later he declared: "I think the General Assembly went too far in undertaking to take [ over all the cost of the six months school term. The merchants are will ing to pay their ad valorem taxes but their ad valorem {axes on stocks of | goods and fixtures are only $750,-j 0(H) and this bill imposes $9,000,000." j This same idea had been expressed 1 by several earlier s|>eakers and the ex pression lor a returii to ad valorem taxes repudiated by the* Mac Lean bill drew the loudest applause of the day except that given Senator McKee, when she declared that the merchants were the most liberal contributors to charity in the State. " Mr. Newsome advanced three sug-, • gestions, raising $3,000,000 by in creasing income taxes, raising $6,- 000,000 more by poll taxes nad licens ing automobile drivers for the sup- I port of the schools. Mr. Hood asked if the speaker did | not think automobile owners were paying their share of the taxes. "Certaily not, and 1 cannot be lieve that you believe that," retorted Mr. Newsome. Representative Connor pointed out that the consitutional limit in the way of a poll tax is now levied on all men voters. In summing up, Mr. Newsom re iterated the contention that the tax could not he passed on and therefore if imposed would result in bank ruptcy for merchants. He iurther argued the proposed measure would be class legislation of the grossest kind. "We do not think the mer rhairts of the state should be made collection agents for the State," he added. 'i 1 1 -' ■ Who Remembers? We often woad&r how many of the "old-timers" about the county can recall when we put our shirts on over our head, when anybody could hitch up a horse, when there were no i such things as wrist watches and a hired girl was lucky to get $2.50 a • week ? Or how many remember when lioyts collected cigarette pictures, When everybody had tonsils and kept 'cm; when nobody had appendicits and most everybody kept the Sabbath. Surely there must be a lot of folks j around here who can remember when ! they carried a lantern on the dash-| board of the spring wagon and drove through mud, dirt or loose rock most of the time; when they slept on a straw tick and took a bath in the wash tub in the kitchen only on Saturday night; or when women wore Mother Hubbards, when a brick covered with | carpet served as a doorstop and when congress gaiters were the most sty lish of shoes. But if you can remem ber any or all of these it isn't a sign you are getting old. Thousands of acres of crop land i have been reclaimed in Utah as a j result of eradicating prairie dogs.
