GREATEST LEGAL GRAFTERS.
What “Get-Rich-Quick” Wallingford
might call “legitimate graft” plays a
very large part in modern financial
deals and dickers. There is a wide
spread notion that man,' “pillars of
society” systematically stec as close
as they dare to the line that separates
jailable from nnjailable -swindling.
But the government itself is responsi
ble for the sanction the legit
imate graft of tax-exempted bonds.
Probably as a survival of the days
when ‘taxes” meant tribute exacted
by the rich and powerful from the
poor and weak, there is even at this
day no very strong public condemna
tion of tax-dodgers. We compass
heaven and earth to putuish draft
dodgers years after the war for which
they were drafted, even to the ex
tent of pillorying in public print the
names of man men who, far from
dodging, served their country nobly
and contracted wounds and disease -n
its defense. This we do in the deter
mination that not one guilty man
shall escape, even if we have to sac
rifice a thousand innocent men. Mo e t
of us have a sneaking sympathy for
the moonshiners, or for the psuedo
sailor who sells us alleged Havana
cigars for which no duty has bee-i
paid to Uncle Sam. The average tour
ist returning from a Europeai# trip,
rather ,prides himself on "getting by”
the custom-house inspector. In fact.
|an interesting book might be written
on the tricks and devices resorted to
all along the line by ordinary honest
and respectable citizens in the effort
to evade paying their just share of
the public tax burden.
Yet all this illegal graft would prob
ably prove but a drop in the bucket
compared with the legal graft enjoy
ed by investors in tax-exempt bonds.
This tax exemption must be extreme
ly attractive to people having money
to invest, if we may judge from the
advertisement *cf banks and bond
houses floating v*meh bonds. They
consist in large part of state, county
and municipal obligations, usually
paying good interest. Bankers regard
them as "gilt edged” and are happy
to accept them as collateral for loans.
Secretary Mellon in his last report
advocates as one means of raising
necessary revenue in the present fi
nancial crisis. It is believed that the
total amount invested in such tax-ex
empt bonds today is not far short
of twenty billion dollars. Somp esti
mates pluce it as high as $40,000,000,-
000. A tax of only one per cent on
tle lesser sum would produce an ad
ditional revenue of $200,000,000.
This in itself should be sufficient
reason for a revision of Federal tax
laws that would Include prohibition of
tax-exempt securities. A further rea
son of much cogency was suggested
to the Senate Finance Committee the
’other day by Philip H. Gadsden, of
Philadelphia, who appeared as chair- 1
man of iho Joint tax committee repre
senting the American Electric Rail
way Association, American Gas Asso
clatkn and National Electric Light
Association. He pointed out that the
abolition of the exemption would en
able regulated public utility industries
to dispose of their securities and raise
badly needed money. “The most seri
ous question which confronts public
utilities,** he said, “l their inability
to secure the necessary new capital
required by them annually in compe
tition with tax-exempt municipal se
curities," And he added that the
present policy was one under which
the country was rapidly drifting into
Socialism.
Let us be frank and recognize tak
exemption of this sort as merely au
immoral legalization of tax dodging
The tax which one man dodges an
onther and probably less wealthy man
pays. Someone must pay always.
A SCHOOL FOR COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES.
One of the most interesting and en
couraging developments of the past
dogma or fifteen years has been the
*io al H ard of Trade, not only in the
nrger cities, but in the smaller, pn>
missive communities which have to
realise that by well directed arid unit
ed effort they can secure for them
selves advantages that otherwise
would not come within the lives of
the present generation.
As business men. w** realise that
such organisations. if they are to be
.f continuous usefulness, if their
achievements are to be more than
beneficial, must have an executive
who can not only devote alt his time
to them, hut whose interest will be so
constant and so keen that he will con
stantly seek to learn from every avail
able source hew his organl*tion and
he himself may become mor effective.
The business men of America are
fertunaie in that the opportunity for
gervtce* which they have created
through their chamber* of commerce
ha.- aitimieii Wg el - the .ftgh*-tj’fas
energetic, atnbidou*. public “spirited,
ttut having doge so much, it be
hcofea u to do wore if our work is to
produce to the full The |*rofe#sion
of commercial secretary la stUl a
\i.gng prof<- uch valuable el*
per’ence has been gained, but this ex
perience is still widely scattered, one
board has learned certain things, an
other others.s We_know how long it
takesr for each to learn the whole les
son of a business individually, how
j greatly we can profit by each other’s
experience. In the same way the
I members of this new kind of business
which concerns and profits us all can
i benefit from a natural exchange.
We are learning that there are cer
tain things from specialists and a|>ipy
them profitably to our own busirfess.
The secretaries too have learned this.
It is with some of these thoughts in
mind that the directors cf the Nation
al Board have given careful consider-,
atlon, in co-operation with the officers
of the National Association of Com
mercial Organization Secretaries, to
the organization of a School for Sec
retaries.
The business of conducting a eom
merqial organization has begun to
grew and to assume the form of a real
job. The opportunities of the ex
ebane of information as a result of
meetings of the secretaries, and as
a result of annual gatherings, have
been extremely interesting; but every
year new and ambitious young men
are being brought into this profession
who are eager to learn all they can
and to serve their communities to the
very highest point.
We are convinced as a result of the
consideration of the problem that the
small amount involved in the expense
cf maintaining this.school and givii g
the secretaries opportunity to secure
all the advantages it affords are noth
ing as compared with the losses and
wastes which go on in our organiza
tions, even the best of, them. If a
secretary has the get-up-and-go, and
the enthusiasm to desire to go out
and acquire further knowledge and in
ter igence he should be helped to the
full extent of the power of the organi
zations.
Our commercial organizations, if
they are really to reflect business in
telligence and experience of this coun
try, should be examples of the very
best methods, in business, and of the,
highest efficiency In business. If we
are ever, through our organizations,
to enlist the support of the best men
of our communities then indeed the
organizations should be an example
of the very best that can be done in
‘Jiorough-going work.
WEAK BLOOD IS
A REAL BARRIER
growing children
OFTEN NEED GUDE’S
PEPTO-MANGAN.
Some children grow too quickly—it
saps their strength. They lapse into
careless, desultory habits, a>r develop
a shrinking attitude. Their faces look
pinched.
The blood become* overtaxed by
too rapid grow: i; and poisons fr,;m
ths system trc c the place of strength
givln gred corpuscles in the blood.
Kid corpuscles are those little red
particles that swim in blood and give
it its color. Gradually thut child logos
interest in its play.
Poor blood needs the building that
thV' iron in (Jude's ,Pepto-Mangan
gives to weakened blood. Gude’a
Pcpto-Mangmn enriches the blood by
Increasing the number of red ccrpus
clc*s, and restores the blood by driving
out the poisons. When the revived
blood gets to work, the appetite be
comes what a growing child's should
be. Your druggist has Gude’s Pepto-
Mungan in liquid or tablet form. The
name "Gude'a Pepto-Mangan'* is on
every package. Advertisement.
