THE TAX JOKER
The best ally the tax collector has
is public lethargy. In other words, the
soaring tax rates in the United States
are directly traceable to ignorance, in
difference or a “Why should I worry !
attitude.
In the long run, the public passes on
every law that goes thru our legisla
tures. Public officials, whether they
know it or not, are simply the serv
ants of the people. They continue in
their jobs only thru the people’s favor.
The ballot box is the mightiest of all
weapons.
Today the cost of every branch of
government is sky-rocketing. It has
reached the point where we pay until
it hurts—it is approaching the point
where it may be impossible for us to
pay at all. Mor<{ than 25 per cent of
the national income goes to public
treasuries. Twenty-five cents out of
each dollar is thus stopped from pro
viding permanent jobs, from develop
ing industry, from productive use.
The fact that a majority of the
American people believe they are tax
free, is the great tax joker. They pay
little or nothing in the way of direct
taxes. They think that the burden of
government is borne by the minority
which pays income and property taxes.
But government would go broke to
morrow if it had to depend for revenue
on that minority. The great bulk of
revenue is obtained indirectly—from
taxes on the things we wear, the
things we eat, the things we use. Go
to a show, drink a glass of beer, take
a ride in your car, buy some groceries,
switch on a light—and you are paying
taxes. Part of the cost of every pro
duct represents the taxes the concern
making it must pay.
Remember the tax joker can trump
all your earnings.

Confidential Confabulations
Major Dig wishes to beg the pardon
of his public—if any—for failing to
give you his choice bits of news last
week, but it was unavoidable.
During the absence of “His Nibs,”
a certain young thing spent the time
making long-awaited calls on her
lady friends.
Can anyone tell me the exact dis
tance from Spencer to Fairfax? After
living in these parts all their lives,
three of our young citizens traveled
over 200 miles to cover a distance any
one else could cover in 30 or 40 miles.
One of our leading grocers was very
much surprised Saturday to receive a
letter from a good-looking girl in
Spencer. From now on she’d better
add her “Net’s.”
Several people have requested me
to do their advertising for them - -
Found: A 1934 maroon chevy,—
Bill H. . . . A letter from Omaha.—
Peg. H. . . . The treasure.—Smart
people on Thursday’s hunt. . . . New
records at Danceland.—The Public.
Wanted: Six book report.—Y'irginia
