Washington.-Uncle Sam Is rather
pleasantly surprised at the way the
nation is standing the war tax gam.
The grouching, such as there is. has
been growled in q minor key, and most
Of 1t comes from the trouble-makers,
the whining pacifists, those of sick
y cast of loyalty.
Nobody really enjoys paying excess
taxes, such as three cents postage for
letters. extra charge for freight. ex-
press and passenger transportation,
telephone and telegraph messages and
amusements. But all true Americans
who realize that the kaiser is to blame
for the troubley stand ready and will
Ing to pay their share of the cost of
exterminating the worlds greatest
menace.
By the way, do you know that If
you are single and earn more than
$1,000 yearly, you must pay two per
cent tax on what you make over 81, 200.
And If you are married, you must pay
two per cent on what you make over
$1,000. The tax for all of 1917 must
be paid by June 1, 1913.
All of the new taxes fall upon the
average man. They have nothing to
do with the "conscription of wealth."
They are a part of the program Of
taxation to make each man, woman
and child in the United States feel a
direct personal part in the war. They
apply to freight, passenger and ex-
press transportation, pipe lines, Pull
man seats and berths, telegraph and
telephone messages, insurance poll
cies, admissions to theaters and
movies" and to club dues. The eff
feet of most Of them is felt, therefore,
in a slight rise in the high cost Of
living.
The taxes are expected to net the
federal government the following rev.
