it is true that the debts of our
country are tremendous. but 50 also is
Ihe wealtlnproducing capacity of the
Iwople. If. therefor-e we ‘ran stimu-
luo the busincss of the country into
activity. the debts will disappear like
the. mists before the morning sun. Our
troubles are largely ps}cholnfzical. We
must teach our people I; think clearly

Our taxes should be collected so as
to give the greatest net returns with
she least obstruction to business activ-
ilv. It is a mistake to think of taxes
in: :1 burden to be avoided by some and
)Ildt‘Od upon someone else. As a. mat-
ll-r of fact. no one can or does escape

Tht‘ objection lias' been made that
the tax would be collected at. each

that at each turnover of a. product. a
profit is collected and often numer—
Ous turnovers are introduced to con.-
cc a1 profits and those are cumulative.
The percentage of profits is much lar-

much more to the final pric... If the
turnover tax should cause the elimina-
