THE TAX DODGER AND OLD WOMEN.
The legislature haa banished the IA

ferret from Iowa. When the bill be-
comes law the ferret becomes illegal.
Having done SO much it must do
more. Having called off the ferret it
should 30 further. The tax dodger
hasn't been touched. In fact the re-
peal Of the tax ferret builds little
fence around his concealed money and
mortgages, leaving the widows and or
phans outside the fence 20 pay tbs

OF course every man ought 70 pay
his just tax but he doesn't The num-
Der Of persons who are ready TO per

is astonishing. 1t would be more as
tonishing il the list could be known
and made public 1t would include
more leading citizens than the Dan
vile indictments. But the trust funds
which are the sole support OF old
women, and widows and children must
pay. 1t isn't to be concealed. 1t sticks
out and the assessor grabs it for the
40 per cent.
The tax ferret was not an unmixed
evil by any means. He dug out bur-
rowing taxdodgers and took money
away from them which belonged to the
town and state and county. That is all
he vas for. He was never needed to
collect the taxes Of old women and
children dependent on patrimony. They
always pay. The tax ferret benefited
rather than hurt the helpless.

pursuer the orphans should be freed.
