thought 70 problems OF taxation must recognize
great danger in any proposal 20 substitute for
present sources OF revenue 70 indirect tax
alton David A Wells and Thomas G. Shearuan
long ago proved 70 every unpre1udiced mind that
the old French hnancier's dicturn, that the best
system OF taxation was that which obtained the
most feathers with the least squawking,' is the
precept OF dishonesty. It stands on about the
same plane OF morality that OF the wife who
supplements the allowances of q penurious hus-
band by abstracting money from his clothes while
he sleeps the sleep OF fancied security
Governor OceIl has made excellent Executive
and II Is 70 be hoped that he viii not take 81 auss
IL IL is suggested that his economic education has
not kept pace with his development IN other drec-
expenditures, but let every change in taxation
rather tend TO bring 70 the attention OF the tax
payer Just what his contribution the maintenance
OF government is-not create in his mind the idea
that he is not concerned in economical government
