TINE income tax is an imposition
over which very few Of US are
privileged to get angry.
A man has to have an income of at
least $4,000 a year before he can get
mad at the income tax. Even then, he
cannot really complain except, of course,
in order to show that he is in the down
trOdden upper class. A man has to have
almost $4,000 a year before he can put
up enough of a mOuTnful moan to make
the common citizen look up at him ad-
miringly. He has to pay about $50 dues
in the Scads society each year and if
he gets his moneys worth out of it he
