give only surname, Christian name and
patronynic, and omit the unit of the
wounded man. The surnames kuzneS-

The papers tell of a certain Ivan I'm

ssEiappy In Paying Taxes"


DR.. John H. Finley, head Of the
Educational System of New York
State, announces that he wants to
write q book entitled, "Hcw to be Happy
in Paying Taxes" and he thinks it
would be popular and do much con-.
structive good. 1t is an alluring title,
and if the distinguished educator can
prove his case and make all taxpayers
happy he ought to be given a civic
crown. y
Nothing in the life Of the ordinary
man is more disagreeable than paying
taxes, although it is the best invest
ment he ever makes. The trouble is
that he hands over cash without seeing
before him the value received and he
is apt TO think there is no such valne.
This is u reason why indirect taxes
are always more easily and cheerfully
collected than those assessed i'll cash.
The average citizen would be troubled
indeed if he lay down to sleep knowing
that he had neither police nor fire
protection, that he could get no water
ave al he might buy it from a peddler.
that he had no drainage and was liable
to disease, that his next-door neigh
bors might have smallpox in the house
without any protection to himself. that
his children could get an education
only as he secured teachers for them or
paid high prices for private schooling.
Yet this same citizen is generally
s'grouchy" when he gets his tax bill for
the year.
Now the amount of direct taxes
which one pays is a small item in his
annual expenditure. The average man
spends more for tobacco and drinks
than his city taxes amount to, but he
gets immediate returns. The man who
turns over house-money to his wife for
living expenses does not look upon it
as a tax, for he knows that light, heat
aud food are essential to his comfort
even to his existence. But they are
not more essential than protection to
property from robbery or fire, than good
drainage, good schools, good sanitary
supervision and the like. All the food,
clothes and heat for nothing would not
make a man comfortable without these
added considerations.
DR.. Finley has done a public service
In calling attention to the great returns
0ne gets from taxes, returns many
times as great as he cold get from in
dividual expenditure. The greatest
socialistlc enterprise in the world is the
modern we~ll-governed city. We
should have the same joy i'll paying
taxes as we do in paying for other ne
cessities. Our chief concern should be
in seeing that what we pay is expended
