A speedy return to healthy busineaa the employ­ ment of all our wage-earners-and the consequent relief from the present distress can only be accom- lliahed by the selection of a U. S. Senator who un- dentands business and its needs. JOSEPH R. GRUNDY is best equipped by knowl­ edge to secure for Pennsylvania industries the pro- tective legislation it requires. Pennsylvania cannot be so ably represented by either of his opponents and his loss of the nomin­ ation would be a calamity to' the State, its fann­ ers, its wage-earners and all other citizens. Low tariff means low wages and opens our markets to foreign productsr wliich means loss of work and wages to our own people. High tariff-the protec­ tor-means steady work for our industries.

Mr. Llppmann's estimates ot from lhree 1o four billion are too high-when we con­ sider the expenditures aimed directly for stimu­ lation of purchasing power. Let us examine some comparative ligures. Dunng the four years of the Hoover AdmJnis­ tration, Federal expenditure!' averaged four btl­ lions annually. Little of that money was .spent for recovery. During the first year of the New Deal, the total of Federal expenditures was seven billlons-a net fncre:-tse of three billions over the Hoover years. But since Mr. Roosevelt, through the Economy Act, cut the regular budget by $400,000,000-the total of excess expenditures must be increased by that amount to $3,400.000.000. But not oil of that $3,400,000,000 went directly for recovrry purposes.

D ~-- 13 ""'r'~... fiB l'bpvl ... • Dunocrvtoc: • ~ "';=-;;.! [II Yotc IMdr.a ROOSEVELT or LANDON ? To the Collins & Aikman Family:

Let'.s suppose that somebody introduced a bill in Congress to charge anyone who smokes cigarettes $20 a year for the privilege-the proceeds to be spent in any way the politicians see fit.

That would cause a lot of indignation and protest from people who think that the cost of government ought to be charged against the rich.

But as a matter of fact, anybody who smokes a package of cigarettes a day is already paying more than this figure. The tax is 6 cents per package, and that comes to $21.90 a year:--

That's a direct tax, which comes to almost SO% of the total retail price paid for popular brands of cigarettes.

Maybe that comes as a shock to you. But it isn't as extreme as you may think.

Taxes today account for about 25% of the total cost of living. In other words, the tax collector gets about 25 cents out of every dollar you .spend, and the government is going in the hole another 25 cents which is not covered by taxes. Isn't it about time for the voters to call a halt on extravagant politicians?

COLLINS & AIKMAN CORPORATION. To the Collins & Aikman Family:

Where does the money come from which political office holders are spending?

It comes from taxes, or from borrowing, which .must be paid off by future taxes.

Who pays these taxes?

According to the politician, taxes are levied on the rich. As a matter of fact, men earning high salaries do pay as much as $70 out of every $100 they receive to the income tax collector. You ca;.t go much further than that.

But the trouble is, there aren't very many "rich people" in this country.

Here are a few figures to demonstrate this point:

Total of all individual income taxes paid in 1935 $527, 112,506

Total of all corporation taxes paid in 1935 ...... $572, 117,876

Total tax on tobacco, which is used by rich and poor alike . . $459, 178,625

Or, to make the story simpler, instead of half-billions let's put it in pennies. For 52 cents taken from individual income tax payers- or 57 cents taken from corporations - 45 cents is taken from the people who smoke cigarettes and pipes. And tobacco is just one of many articles used by what rabble-rousers call "the masses."

Who really has to bear the tremendous cost of government, which now comes to tens of billions of dollars per year7 Draw your own conclusions.

COLLINS & AIKMAN CORPORATION. 11

To the Collins & Aikman Family:

Out in Chicago, the meat-packing center of the country, retail butchers are putting up signs which show how much of the price people pay for meat goes for taxes.

Those signs list 123 different taxes.

They add up to the fact that the woman who wants I Oc worth of hamburger has to chip in an additional Sc to cover the tax bill.

That means that the tax collector gets half as much as the butcher, the packer, and the farmer all put together.

There's another reason why it's about time to call a halt on reckless spending by men elected to political office-city, state or national.

Yours very truly,

COLLINS & AIKMAN CORPORATION. 12

To the Collins & Aikman Family:

When you read in the paper about the government planning to spend another billion dollars for something or other-what does that mean to you?

A billion dollars is written $1,000,000,000.

That is a thousand times a million dollars.

It has to be paid for by taxes, and taxes are paid out of the money that people earn.

It would take all the income of 500,000 people earning $2,000 a year to raise a billion dollars. -

Looking at a few examples such as these, you can see why thoughtful people are appalled to realize that the government owes thirty-five billion dollars today-over and beyond the billions it collects each year in taxes.

No wonder people are beginning to be aroused by the extravagance of politicians and ask that the men they elect to office, regardless of party, shall put the brakes on spending.

Yours very truly,

\ Voter Should Heed 5 Amendments to State Constitution

City-County Consolidation, Relief, Income Tax, State Loan and Time hock Measures on Ballot Next Month.

By EDWARD STONE MID the din of battle for local offices, the average Phlladelphla A voter is hardly aware that at the election November 2 he will pass also on five proposed amendments to the state Constitution. Yet those amendments, concerning such matters as State and municipal finances, taxation, relief and t.he future amendment ot the Constitution itself, vitally concern tbe pocketbook and welfare of hundreds of thousands of citizens. Most Important to the Philadelphian is the proposed consollda· 'tion of city and county. Today Philadelphia, although city and county boundaries are Identical, is saddled v.ith two governments, two sets o! officials, two sources of expense-the city and the county. ~------uselesB Burdell IFons 0\'Cr 70 whose Income :fell be• tlnder the Con!tilution as It now low $365 ,. year, and whose proP"' reads, a nurnher of officinls are crly did not I'XC'crd ~3000.
