1t Is not so easy for workingmen TO pay
their taxes, Notwithstanding the publcs-
tons that the collectors may be found In
their office ready to wait on all who may
call. For instance, a mechanic who is
employed In the Pullman shops, who
works until O'Clock in the evening, has
called twice, but he happened to be five
minutes late, and consequently the office
was closed. In order to accommodate
the working class the tax Office should be
kept open until o o'clock, at least one or
two nights In the week. Men do not wish
to lose time In order TO pay their tax,
but under the present arrangement many
Will be compelled TO do so or be kept out
