II comes TO the Reformer on ex-
cellent authority that State Tax Com
missioner Plumley holds that bills
receivable are not exempt from taxa
ton under the new law even If they
are represented by notes bearing in
terest at six per cent or less. While
we will not attempt to say whether
Mr.. Plumley is right or wrong we pre-
dict for him a lovely time in thresh-
ing the matter out. Lawyers are in
disagreement over the question al
ready-Brattlebor Reformer.
In case Commissioner Plumley's
contention is held to be the correct
one, the enactment of the new tax
law will result In condition that
will work for the general good. If
merchants are hereafter to be com
PEELED to pay taxes on accounts at To-
cal rates they viii refuse to carry
them and the result will be more
cash business. Credit is the founda-
ton of business, as it is carried on
these days, but at the same time 1t is
one of the curses of the men who
work for wages and who necessarily
constitute the greater portion of the
population. The competition for vol
ume of business has created a sys-
TEN of loose credit which has result
ed not only in an increased cost to
these who pay cash, in order to COM
pensate the dealer for the losses he
sustains, but it has also brought
about lower standard of citizen
ship. The man whose name is con
stantly on the books of the local mer-
chants must lose some of the self
respect that goes to make a good citi-
zen. The man out of debt is more
of a man in his own eyes than one
/ who is constantly behind the game"
And this is certainly one instance in
which "as man thinketh so he is"
