sum of money ever collected by taxa
tion in a single year in any country

cause of the spirit of the people The
other day In Boston an elderly man
arose in meeting and said that he
desired to know how much, not how
little. he was required to pay out
of his income. This is the winning
spirit.
The second reason why, in my
Judgment, we are going to raise TINS
money is because we have an intern al
revenue commissioner thoroughly de-
voted to his country ana theroughiy NJ y

The internal revenue agent explain
ed that 1t would be impossible to
draft measure that would take from
all their proper contribution toward
the cost of the war without making &
it difficult of Interpretation to the lay
mind.

was subjected for an hour or more to
a running fire of questions from bank

know exactly what they were required
to do under the law
