do vote. AT our last school election,
the men spoiled sixty-one ballots ana

The camel Is a massive, thick Tipped

TT PAYS TO BE TAXED
Tp,,,,l;p~toy, HauSs.ro1 ID

We OF the United States are al
ways speaking OF the French as the
great phrase makers. To. speak the
whole truth, we are pretty handy at
that game ourselves, and We like II
very much. We even offer prizes Tor
slogans, One OF the last apt phrases
that have set some people to thinking,
while others simply repeat It, runs
thusly: 1T pays TO be taxed. At the
first glance, almost everybody WOULD
be tempted TO combat. that suggestion.
And Yet, when the matter is consid-
cred a little more closely, the average
man is apt to concede that after all,
really 1T pays to be taxed.
OF course, there may be exceptions
There are smaller towns in Germany,
where the community owns farms ana
forests and some of the things OF value
in the town Itself and all the so-calleo
public utilities, where the residents do
not pay local taxes and where there
is an annual distribution of surplus
earned by the property belonging &c the
community. But these are the
rare exceptions that are to be found
to every rule.
As far as the average American is
concerned who looks ABOUT tns COM
EtSnL mere ri NDIler VIC VIII lltSN siial
there is the plainest SORT % truth In the
new phrase. OF course. there might be
an amendment to Rad where the
money is expended wisely and honest
ly'' But while that is not always the
case that is what we have a right TO
expect, as we select those who spend
the proceeds of the public taxes.
Look about and find some town
where taxes are very low. that yod
might say. Gguratively speaking there
are no taxes raised In the community.
And the chances are that the people
who are there. stay there, simply he
cause they can not get away. On the
other hand. take some of the many ex-
cellent Iowa towns, where the tax
rate Is apparently very high, ami you
will find that much OF the proceeds Of
the tax 20 goes into pef.manen. i'm
provements. public buildings. etc.
There people are seeking location.
there new ousi-nss ho1s.s are erected
and new manufacturing plants are es
