TAXATION TIME

[By Ralph c, Myers, Cclina. o.
Taxing time has come again
You're called upon TO 80
And pay your tax once more
again
SO get right In the row.
They tax the man who has a
store,
Some a little, some. some more.
They tax the men who own their
Sometimes enough to cause
alarms,
They tax men on money too.
This makes rich men feel awiul
blue.
And taxes on n thresh machine
WIN hardly let him keep up
steam;
Are almost as high as Gasoline
They tax the poor man beyond
bis life
lie can hardly keep himself and
wife.
But they never think OF this at
all
They've got his face towards the
wall.
II he has tools 20 earn his bread
They tax him so he can't keep
ahead
They tax some men on railroad
trains.
SO much II eats up all the gains.
But of all these things, one yet
remains:
Why don't they tax some men
for Brains?

Mayor Simpson has found that the City

it's own use at $3.50 per ton, but the same

Mayor Simpson made this discovery when
he received bids for two thousand tons of
mine-run coal for his proposed city depot,
The city last week purchased a thousand
tons of same grade of coal for its own
use at $3.50. Two mnes Of twelve ap-
preached offered to furnish the coal at
$3.50 per ton. loaded az the mines. The
freight to Lima in one case is 81 per ton,
and in the other $1.25. Just why supplies
of coal for private consumption would pc
higher than that for municipal use, Is
something that Mayor Simpson, and most
everybody else. is unable to understand,
unless 1t Is for the protection Of the
coal dealer. --Wapakoneta Democrat.
