The Tax-Exempt Army With the emergency and na-1

(tonal relief and recovery legisla­tion that has been passed, govern­ment litis launched itself into prac­tically every Held of endeovar. The scope of Its power is so wide that private citizens and industries do not yet know how they will be af­fected -In fact government depart­ments ate not fully conversant with their own powers.

In the administration of the new legislation affecting business and agriculture and in the expenditure of the billions of dollars that have been appropriated for new govern­mental functions, tens of thousands of individuals will become the beneficiaries of public funds.

It is probably not an exaggeration to say that In another five years millions of citizens my be classed as public servants with all or part of their salaries tax-exempt under Uie privilege legislation that at­taches to their position.

Tills army of office-holders will gain constantly greater power in elections to perpetuate their own jobs, which while inaugurated as "relief" measures will stand every chance of becoming permanent burdens on tax-payers, who are not granted federal exemptions.

During the present depression emergency seeds are being sown which may produce dragon teeth in the harvest. The people may face another emergency in the very near future of controlling the overhead and expansion of govern­ment which was created to meet the unemployment emergency. Now is the time to "check ana double check" on our future course.

belongs to them. It Is not govern­ment property nnd the government hns no right to It."

Wherever the fault lies for the difficulties of the closed or sus­pended Yonkers institutions, and whatever the reasons back of the months of dawdling about reopen­ing, it appears entirely reasonable to believe that each has been in a position to release part of the de­posits to their owners.

But, nevertheless, 35,000 have have been forced into straits be­cause their money is locked away in bank vauts. Meanwhile, their homes have been foreclosed, judg­ments have been taken in debts, business have been damaged or ruined and all because of the failure of the federal or state gov­ernments to give the depositors a part of their own money- a help­ing hand they have, BO sorely need­ed in a period of great distress.— Yonkers Stateman.

Sounds just like home.

Taxes The U. S. Treasury Department

vi mailing out notices this week of pssessments to all railroads within tne United States taxing them .-. 1.50 per mile of road to be paid into the U. S. Treasury for ex-1 enses of the newly appointed Fed­eral Coordinator of Transportation, I tr. Eastman, former member of the Interstate Commerce Commis­sion. There are over half a mil­lion miles of railroads in the United States which will have to absorb this tax. The railroads al­so received another Christmas pi ?sent this week of an assessment of $1.00 per thousand Federal tax on their capital stock for the pri-veiege of doing business between Ju le 10th and June 30th 1933.

Speaking of taxes, here are a few of them the individual will pay thin year—

Town and County Taxes. School Taxes. Villages Taxes. (:heck Taxes. (lasoline Tax. ! lubricating Oils Tax. Electricity Tax. Uread Tax. i JO Cream Tax. Vutomobile Tax.

i irlvera License Tax. I acome Tax. Amusement Tax. I >og Tax. Fishing Tax.

in addition to these, business and coi porations will pay

( apital Stock Tax (State and Government).

Cross Income Tax (State). l"et Income Tax (Government).

iileage Tax (Government). The old saying was, "nothing

suier than taxes and the under­taker," but taxes will have to slacken or there won't be anything It ft, of the taxpayer to bury.

ODD LAWS PASSED BY LEGISLATURE

Ban Auto Radios Capable of Re­ceiving Police Signals Without

Permit

The 1933 Legislature enacted hundreds of laws, viewed as good, bad and indifferent, but the prize for a peculiar bit of legislation must be pinned on an amendment to tho penal law, known as section 191G.

"A person not a peace officer, who equips an automobile with a radio receiving set capable of re­ceiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use or know­ingly uses an automobile so equip­ped or who in any way knowingly interferes with the transmission or radio messages by the police with­out having first secured a permit so to do from the person authoriz­ed to issue such a permit by the local governing body or board of the city, town or village in which such person resides, is guilty Of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprison­ment not exceeding six months or both."

This act will become effective September 1.

No more may the bad boy of the school create havoc by throwing "stink bombs" on the floor. Sec­tion 726 of the penal law, which is an amendment, sets forth that only peace officers "or a public officer" may carry these troublesome things, which are usually made of hydrogen sulphide. Violation of the section is a midemeanor.

It is noted that public officers, such as members of the city coun­cil, may carry these bombs, so if they use them during the coming local campaign, due soon, they will be immune from arrest.

Section 483-C of the penal law-makes it a misdemeanor to tat­too a child under 16 years of age.

The purchaser of headgear may get a "break" under another amendment, section 438-A, which ordains that all scond hand hats before being offered for sale must be marked as "used" or "secona hand."

While Depositors Suffer Four months have passed since

tho 28,000 depositors of the First N.' tional Bank and Trust Company learned that their $12,000,000 in deposits were completely unavaila­ble to use.

For nearly eight weeks the 7,500 depositors in the Westchester Trust Company have found their :>7 500,000 equally out of reach, even in part.

Thesse 35,000 patrons of the two institutions have seen meanwhile a r.umber of federal and state en­actments to solve the difficulties and to circumvent a repetition of the financial debacle of early March. They have discovered, to their distress, that some of these laws are of small use and that the various agencies set up to relieve the strain on bank depositors are more or less impotent to remedy matters.

In the case of the Westchester Trust Company, it soon became evident that the State Bank Con­servation Act, specifically drawn by Congress to furnish Federal Re­serve aid to such a non-member state bank, was not to be utilized - for the only known explanation that the Federal Reserve Board heatitates to set a precedent. It hns been demonstrated also that t lure is a certain amount of fric-t ii n among government agencies which seriously impairs progress to yard bank reopenings.

In all this mess, the 35,000 Yonkers depositors find themselves caught as innocent victims of the clash of interests. The depositors in 3370 closed state and national banks in the United States, with fiozen deposits totaling $2,575,-209,000, are in a similar position. 'I he financial difficulties were none of their making. They placed their money on deposit believing faithfully in the efficacy of federal Mid state supervision, in the sound­ness of the seasonal examinations and the ability and honesty of the officials in charge.

But now, with the banks closed or suspended, it is these very inno tent depositors who .sutler most, They must wait interminably v/hlfe the intricate gyrations of leorganization take place, each move dependent and interdependent upon whims and differences among men and governing groups. These depositors must not only wait -but wait penniless.

It is against this condition which former Governor Groesbeck of Michigan protested vigorously last week, in appearing before a De­troit Grand Jury us receiver for the Guardian Detroit Union Bank group.

It is the duty and the responsi­bility of tho Federal Government,

In other In­stances transplanting of the young plants from the seedbed to the Held was all but Impossible on account of the dryness of the soil and the high temperatures which killed many of the plants before they could get started.

Domestic Cabbage;.—After the extremely low prices received last season the growers of Domestic cabbage decided to reduce their acreage this season. The present stale acreage is estimated at 8,000 acres compared with 10,000 last season. A portion of this is for sale on the market and the remain­der for manufacture Into kraut. Wisconsin has about 7,200 acres compared with 9,900 acres last year. For the entire country the acreage this season amounts to about 28,900 ncres compared with 34,800 acres in 1932. Dry weath­er has been having an unfavorable effect upon the Domestic cabbage crop.

Cauliflower:—On account of the increase in late cauliflower on Long Island, the state acreage of cauliflower has been slightly in­creased from about 0,420 acres last year to about 0,000 acres this year. Total acreage however for all of tho late states amounts to about 10,800 acres compared with 11,970 acres last year. So far the weather has been very un­favorable to the cauliflower crop.

Onions:--While the acreage of onions in New York State is prac­tically the same as last year amounting to about 8,750 acres the acreage in several of the other states has been reduced so that the total acreage of late onions in the country amounts to about 50,-140 acres compared with 50,530 acres last season. This season's acreage is practically the same as two years ago. The growing con­dition of the crop at the present time is very low being estimated at 70.2 percent of normal compared with 80.7 percent last July 1 and 81.0 the average condition on July 1 for the past 10 years. In New York it is 75 percent of normal; in Ohio 06 percent; in Indiana 51 percent; and in Iowa 70 percent of normal.

Lettuce:—The lettuce acreage of the state amounts to about 5,400 acres compared with 5,650 acres last year. For the entire group of late lettuce states the acreage amounts to only 20,710 acres com­pared with about 28,110 acres har­vested last year. The hot dry weather has been against the best growth of the lettuce so that the forecast of production is only about 2,398,000 crates compared with 3,b ("9,000 crates last season

Early Potatoes—Hot dry weath­er has materially changed the com­mercial potato prospects in the intermediate states in the past month. During June a sharp de­cline occurred in practically all the areas. In the group comprising Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mis­souri and Virginia, the commercial intermediate crop is now forecast at 9,809,000 bushels or nearly one-fifth smaller than was forecast as of June 1. At this rate, the crop in these states will be 22 percent smaller than that of 1932 and a little better than half the size of the average crop during the 5-year period. In Nebraska and New Jersey the production is fore­cast at 21 percent below the 1932 production.

Tomatoes for Market:—Acreage of tomatoes for shipment for the entire country is below that of 1932 by about 7 percent. This reduction is mostly in the western i states. New York is estimated to have about 4,840 acres compar­ed with 4,000 acres last year. In­diana has about 6,500 acres com-1 pared with about 7,260 in 1932.

Picking Peas:— The acreage of. picking peas for market has been

and so far In July has reduced the prospects considerably and a light production Is now forecast.

Green Pens for Manufacture: — Acreage of canning pens In the whole country was increased from 185,900 acres last season to 214,-910 acres this year and with bet­ter yields in prospect promise con­siderable higher production than a year ago. In New York produc
