Bluff You Cant Call

Every labor organization whose wage agree
ment is about to expire has asked for increased
wages on account Of the increased cost of living.
Employers admit the increased cost of living,
but each employer answers that the new excess
profits tax will be SO heavy that no increase in
wages is possible. When the employer is asked
the amount which he will have to pay under this
new tax, he names a tremendous amount.
Labor must blindly accept the employers
statement, blindly reject it, for at least one
half Of the amount of taxes actually to be paid
by the employer will depend upon the individ-
ual opinions of the internal revenue officers.
No one can take that law as passed by con-
gress and figure within SO per cent Of the
amount of tax which any concern has to pay.
One-half of the force of the law is put into it
blythe personal Interpretation and regulations OF
men in the internal revenues offices, so that Mr..
Employer is at perfect liberty to guess as high
as he pleases as to the amount of war tax which
he will have to pay.
And the raw thing about it is that what he
pays is ABSOLUTELY SECRET. Labor can
never know what any employer pays. Anyone
who prints or publishes anything regarding the
return of any particular concern shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding $1,000, or impris-
oned not exceeding one year, or both.
Again we say, let federal taxation be open to
the public and collect the taxes from the indi-
vidual in proportion to his income.

LITTLE MARGARET

had written to the newspapers
about the old sandal. when Harry's

as they had to know it at all.
Tho worst part of 1t all was with
the children. Someone told Bulge
that | was not their real mother
and that their father had killed
their mother.
Little Margaret was with
Bulge and To-day when the boy
told this to them. There was

when l told him that the lit

he just roared with laughter. He
said:
