Placing ones ear carefully to the
ground, faint rumblings can be heard
of an early drive of the anti-tobacco
forces. And, to meet force with su-
perior force, we suggest an onslaught
of the army of anti-corsets, anti-rouge
anti-face creams, anti-leg displaying
skirts, anti-bare backs and breasts
anti-chewing gum, anti-ice creams,
authorizations. and anti-gossips
Mere / ian is only mere man, but

ROOFING HIM OUT

In Chicago red hot investigation
is being made of million dollar cor
porations that dodge their taxes. or
pay only small proportion of what
they should justly pay.
This is just one more reason why
the government should make public
the amount of taxes paid by every
citizen and by every business concern,
corporation or otherwise, INCLUD-
ING INCOME TAX.
If big business is ever required to
pay its just proportion of taxes the
burden will fall less heavily upon the
poor man, who has but slight oppor-
tunity to evade payment of his tax
es.
Publication of the income tax. to-
gether with the property tax, will dis
close whether or not there is a ''gen-
tleman of color" in the woodpile.
The public should demand full pub
licity in all tax matters.
