"AND NOW WE MUST
PAY THE FIDDLER"
Milford Chronicle Discusses
the Tax Question in
Recent Issue

AS far back as history records,
people have complained of taxes.
Like the weather, the high cost
of living and the labor problem,
the subject Of the tax rate fur
nishes an unending source of COM
plant. The Milford Chronicle in
a recent issue discusses the sub
ject philosophically thus:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ty-School and Town-we must all
pay them. No matter how much
they pinch, they have got 10 come,
and there will be no relief for the
next twenty years. 1t is necessary
to pay for the high wages, the
high cost of supplies, of clothing
and cost Of living generally, and
these may be summed UP in the
huge expenditures made during
the great war, when everything
ran riot, and money was not con-
sidered-any old price was paid
without a murmur, and now we
must pay the. fiddler, by taxes. Its
somewhat similar to the fellow
who once went out on a booze
spree over night, and the follow,
ing morning contemplated in pain
and discomfort, the wild foolish.
ness of the night before. The pres.
ent condition of the country is q
condition which has to be met, anc
no theory other than cold cash in
the shape of taxes will pay the
bill. We must prepare to liquade

who gets down to brass tacks, ant
figures out how to increase his in

will make a success and not fee
that taxes are burden. We have
men Of this kind right here in Mil
ford, and they are buying the high

are putting higher thought ant
labor saving methods into thei
