 tittle. All this extra money i being raised in this country Government purposes Is going, di- etly CT indirectly, as the case may Q, Co aid in payment of the war debt. And, if they are not paid out of cans, they must be paid out of taxes. 70 attempt to pay these debts off by raigst taxation would be crushing x&tion. It simply could not be done ne country is not wealthy enough, ttsat as are it's riches and wonderful its resources are, to stand such rushing blows of taxation as would be necessary to clean up all the debts. right off the reel ty taxation alone So the government is lessening the immediate blow as much as possible, by floating this bond issue and thus spreading tho cost of the war over the years of the future and make the SN- naal burden just so much lighter. Therefore that income tax blank ever which you slaved and sweated awhile back was mighty good argu- n,ent for the Victory Liberty Loan If you will just look tt it that way The six per cent ret income figure was a mighty biting argument
 And if there was anything on that lcome tax blank, saying anything about the government ever giving any of that income tax money bac!. to you. Nell, nobody saw anything of the kind | Just recall that the Liberty Bond | money comes back to you, on the sol e,nn promise of the United States Gov efnment, the Government that never broke . promise. A tax paid is money ! gone, but Liberty Bond is an invest ment
 Nor was there anything on that in- come tax blank about the government | paying you cent of interest on the ! income tax payments. No indeed, you were paying the GoyernmeGt-and no mention was made of any return, or Of any interest.
 A Liberty Bond is an interest-bear- ing security. It is an investment and | :ot a tax.
 70 lessen the income tax and other taxes ;hat must be paid in the future buy Liberty Bonds, tll you can of the Victory Loan. yOATJ -N PNNM RVITI NyMC
