Let nobody think that a business

maintain the highest standards of

Graduates find that in the business

IWO PHASES OF TAXATION
Ttu-re are two ways In which
taxation may become confiscation
j? irst. by increasing public debt
and expenditures to point where
businesses and individuals are un.
able to puy--to where all profits
vanish into hunds ol tax collectors.
Second, by lowering ability of
industry to pay, through govern-
mental policies which stand In
the puth of expansion. develop-
ment and the attraction of private
capital
Government federal, county,
state, municipal is now guilty on
both counts. before the war.
By the end of the fiscal year the ! ductions, which

ltlcs paid 3 4 cents out of each
dollar ol consumer revenue for
taxes In 1922, they paid 8 4
cents In 1829. when businesses
of all kinds were at their peak,
they paid 9 7 .cents In 1932. when
the absolute bottom of the depres-
sion was touched they paid 118
All during depression taxes rose
constantly, exactly as they did In
normal times.
The Index did not show rela-
tion of taxes to net income How-
ever, the Edison Electric institute
estimates that total taxes for 1933
will equal 25 pereen of the net be-
fore deduction of taxes, interest
and amortization, as compared to
19 8 percent in 1929 In the case
of individual electric companies,
taxes often run lar beyond this
' proportion, and leave hardly any
net income at all.
In spite of such taxation, electric
j rates have gone down steadily since

In some meusure everyone of us
has to make the same decision.
We often think of this when we!
consider the problem of education i
of our boys and girls. Some college ,
and university courses are design-
ed to carry a boy or girl to the
j heights of professional success
1 Every boy and girl who has the
intellectual and flnanclul equip- ;
ment would do well to take such
courses, even though they require
years.
But what about the young poo- !
1 pie who have to make a living j
quickly who want to get ahead;
w ithout long years of preparation? j
What should they do?
Tne solution of their problem Is j
best provided by business training j
institutions of the higher type.
Tyler Commercial College and
School of Business Administration
at Tyler, Texas, Is one of these.
More than one graduate of the
school at Tyler has become fin-
ancially independent. Thousands
have become succeessful business
men and women.

boy or girl can secure a complete,
