Tax DOdging is a Species of Dishonesty

A certain sum Of money is necessary
to administer the activities Of govern
ment This money is raised by taxa
ton. To administer the state and and
county government the principal part
is raised by what is known as ad va
loren tax. A tax laid against the
reasonable market value Of property,
both real and personal. 1t follows,
therefore, when certain property hold
ers escape their Just share Of the tax
burden. by collision and under valua-
ton, or in any other of the many ways
known TO those who want TO rid them
selves Of part or all Of the just tax bur
den, which it is the duty OF every
honest man to pay, he simply shifts
his taxes to the shoulders Of the other
taxpayers, who pay their own tax and
in addition the tax Of the dodger.
Wherefore. we say, tax lodging is
closely akin TO dishonesty. Some very
good people, at least they are reck-
oned so, indulge in tax lodging to the
unjust fixing Of debt they should pay
on the shoulders Of other taxpayers.

How Willie Scored on the Doctor

Congressman Switzer. of Ohio, tells
this one:
In a prosperous rural community the
village doctor was also the superinten-
dent Of the Sunday school. Inciden-
tally he taught class Of small boys.
Willie" impressively remarked the
doctor one Sunday afternoon to a
bright faced youngster, can you tell
me what we must do in order to get to
heaven?"
Eyes, sir" was the prompt response
of Willie, we must die"
That is very true, said the doctor,
encouIagingly, but can't you tell me
what we must do before we die7"
'Yes.sir," was the startling rejoin-
der Of little Willie; we must get sick
and send for you"

requiring jitney drivers to put up a
surety bond for $500, soon to go
into effect, it is expected that hun
dreds of irresponsible drivers will go
out of business. News now comes
from Los Angeles that the jitney bus
industry in that city, where it first ap-
reared, is on the wane. Out OF 1,80O
licenses prior to January l, only ooO
have been renewed. More than 500
operators have retired from the field
since the first of the year, and where
there were 1900 jitneys in operation
only 700 now remain.
