LEADS TO EVASION
Plan of Collecting Income Tax
Is Criticized.
New York World Advises a Change in
Methods, and Presents Arguments
UNFOLDING Its Vision Of
the Situation.

Secretary McAdoo is right in the
view that the income tax needs
Tightening up" But it needs tight
ening up in more ways than requir-
ing the taxable citizen to make de-
tailed return Of deductions from gross
income
The honest assessment Of the tax
suffers primarily from the attempt to
collect at the source" This amounts
to an effort en- the part of the gov
eminent to turn over the collection of
the individual tax to the corporations
at their own instead Of the govern
ment's expense. Work which the gov
ernment's tax collectors are paid for
doing is passed on to those who are
forced to do it without compensation
and at no end of trouble.
This is not fair to the collecting
corporations. 1t is demoralizing to
the governments own collection serv-
ice. 1t has resulted in indescribable
confusion. 1t cannot but result in
many evasions which are not the in
tent of the taxpayer.
Taxable incomes may be derived
from single corporate source, from
several corporate sources, from no
corporate source, or partly from one
and from the other source. This ex-
poses the assessment to no end Of
complications wide open even to hon
est evasions But when the work Is
further divided between corporation
assessors for incomes Of corporate
origin and government assessors and
collectors for other incomes, how is
an effective assessment fairly to be
expected? Government collectors who
are required to shirk two-thirds Of
their work cannot be depended on to
perform the other third.
Let the government go to the in
dividual in the first place, and count
upon the corporations only as infor-
nation bureaus in getting at the in
dividual and his taxable income. This
is the simple way; it must, accord
ingly, be the more effective way. It
is more in harmony with that spirit
of the tax which seeks to bring the
individual into a direct pocket rela-
ton with the government and the way
the government is managed.-New
York World.

Carthage Mothers Find New Way
To Keep Boys Free From Colds

nut ST., Carthage, tried Vick's Vap-O-
Rub for a cold and hoarseness in
chest and throat, and also for mus
cular soreness, and writes-"I have
never used anything with as good re-
suits. / believe it ia q necessity in
every home"
Mrs. M. L. Salyard, 1115 S. Maple st.,
Carthage, tried Vap-O-Rub for very
severe cold in my head and received
almost instant relief"
Mrs. Bertha Grove, r. r. D. No. z,
has a little boy four years old who
lis bothered with bronchial trouble,
and catches cold whenever he runs
out in damp weather. His head and
nose stop up and he coughs 80 much
that his lungs wheeze until you can
hear him all over the room" Mrs.
Grove says she just rubs Vap-O-Rub
well over the throat and chest and
covers with a warm flannel cloth, ana
the vapors arising open his head.
She also stops his cough by letting
him swallow a small piece. In fact,
Mrs. Grove writes us quito q long
letter and ends by saying-"I would
advise all mothers to keep Vap-O-Rub
on hand, especially II they have any
small children. You don't need to
buy cough syrups when you have q bot
tie on hand, and find 1t better than
any internal medicine" Three sizes.
