Tazea are not alone the burden of the rich. They Inevitably descend rlon* the acale and are generally alwed In eome proportion by alL When exeeaalve burden* of taxation emptuudza the competitive dlaadvantages of any com- 1 munity for any branch or claae of bail- J neaa that community will Invariably suffer a decreaae In the industrial development and prosperity of all within It* boundaries. In many sections of the country reports show that Industry U often subjected to continuous and unreasonable burdens of taxes In one form or soother. This condition Is due In part at least to a mistaken public attltods to ward Industrial operation* or a prejudiced. Ignorant or indifferent opinion on the part of public oOrrm and politicians Tbe history of Industrial communities w here such burdens are imposed. however, la the best evidence of whether such a pulley pays anybody. Two manufacturer* In similar lines of business, one oi>erating a plant In Massachusetts and tbe other located la Connecticut, were recently comparing notes. They discovered that for every f 100 In taxes which the Connecticut plant i>ayi per annum the Massachusetts plant was I Wing $l.0uu, or ten times as much. Tbe answer to this alb nation Is that Massachusetts has been falling behind In the percentage of growth as an Industrial state compared with some of her neighboring communities where Industry la not so often aimed at by burdensome, unnecessary and unreasonable laws. Tbe following open letter by J. W. Powell, president of tbe Fore Elver (Mass.I Shipbuilding Corporation, ad dressed to tbe employees of that company In a recent Issue of their “family magailne ~ Tke Fore Rher Log, presents In a fair way the average business man's view on excessive taxation of Industrial plants: “What Is good for Fore Elver Is good for Quincy, and what la good for Quincy la good for Fore Elver. “The officers and employees of this mmisiny and their families make up more than a quarter of the population of the city. Their Intervsta are the aatne as the Interest of Quincy and of the Fore Elver Shipbuilding Corpora-

tion.

Anything that Fore Elver must do lu this community that other shipbuilding companies do not have do lu tbrlr cities w ill. In the long run. hurt us. Today there are more ships t built than there are yards to build them When tbe war la over there will be more shipyard* thau there are ships to build Then the yard that build* tbe cheapest will take the contract*. and tbe yard wboss coat* are highest will discharge Its men. Tlie other big shipyards do not pay big tavern. Some of them |iay ho Uses at all. If you own a bouse and rent It you add your taxes Into tbs rent- If you rent s bouse you pay tha taxes when you pay your rent, so lbs ! pwny must add It* tales w ben It Bella a “Such an assessment and each taxes aa bate been Irilrsl sgsliiM lb .a company this year In Quincy which Is as much s* Uic .‘-uiblned cost of II* new bospitai and club, hurt It and will burl you.
