Now, suppose 3O,000,O0O Of people
each pay that amount per year, then
S24.44, the amount l pay, multiplied
by 10000, 900, equals 100000, the

wo compare it with $3.50, 0,035, ,010,27,

Why, this little amount paid to taxes,
exceeds the Secretay's credit by over
$3.50, 100000, and yat it can't be a
drop in the bucket TO the amount
paid. The Revenue Commissioner
tells us it only cost s7,000,000 TO col
