thing in any business transaction
With their neiehbor. but who do
not hesitate to cheat the govern
ment
The United States as a whole is
generous 10 its dealings with the
people. The government is the
expression of those great principles
of human freedom and opportunity
that make America the best place
to live on earth If you refuse to
pay your honest share of the cost of
running the government that gives
such great blessings. you prove
yourself an unworthy citizen and
foul your own nest.s
The man who is yellow in d
small way in his dealings with the
government, is likely to find the
crooked tendency creeping into his
other human relations. Anyone
who makes a sincere and fair tax
return has the satisfaction of feel
ing that he has contributed bis due
share to the maintenance of the
great American principles, and that
he is doing his part to support the
superb institutions for which Amer
lea stands.
