Many Of the Comparatively Poor Must
Have Become Well To Do

Wherever else may be truthfully
applied the communistic legend
~The rich grow richer, and the poor
poorer" it finds no place in our in
come tax scheme Official returns for
the year 1918 present facts which
show that, relatively speaking, the Dig
class of small taxpayers is permitted
to accumulate wealth sixty times as
fast as does the small richest class
There were 1,516,0OO persons VINO
paid a tax on surplus income OF from
81 600 to $4,000. Their taxable IN
come together amounted to more than
81, ,232 O00,O ,O00 But they gave back TO
the United States Government OF that
immense sum less than $26, 100000, or
lust a trif1e more than one penny out
of every dollar.
There were in 1918, sixty-seven
individuals in the country each OF
whom had an income of $1,0OO,0OO or
over. But see what Uncle Sam did to
themi Of their combined incomes,
amounting to $137, 100000, more than
sS8 OOO. 900 went into the United States
treasury as a tax. Thus the million
aire income fellows gave about sixty
eight cents out of every dollar OF
their income as against a little more
than one cent donated by the grand
army of smaller taxpayers.
But, however carefully devised for
the purpose of distributing the tax
burden where it can be most easily
horne. no schedule of income or ex-
cess. profit taxes is competent to pre-
vent the ultimate filtration OF the
levy until it reaches the consumer, as
Hhe supporting bedrock, in the gener-
al increase of the cost of living. The
Alleganians.

Club in the Union National Bank.
The checks for the sum due each

tributed to each member of the Club

ed in this years club, and the total
amount saved by the members in
crease each year. The bank invites
the public to become members OF the

not seen any sales OF this stock reported in
me 3t, daily papers during the last few months.

sales around that figure Can you tell me-
why this stock is apparently entirely in
actiVe after sales Of several thousand shares

position of this stock? Do you consider it
advisable TO double my holdings at the figure

Der Of oil companies whichwere floated
when the tide of speculation in such
securities was at its height a few
months ago have since become inactive.
Most of them, too, are selling far be-
low the quotations at which the pub
nc bought them. Some possibly have
disappeared from the market, never to
be heard from again. The "Northwcst-
crn Oil Company" does not appear
among our records. Perhaps you mean
Northwest Oil. If so, the stock, in
our opinion, is too speculative to haz-
ard guess as to what you would gain
or lose by doubling your holdings.
