THE INCOME TAX LAW.

While congress is revising the reve-
nue. laws, it should not overlook the
demand for a simplification of the in
come tax law. The present condition
of the income tax laws invites evasion,
for every citizen feels that in order to
protect himself he must take advairt=
age of every Interpretation he can
make in his own favor. Furthermore,
the uncertainty of the law adds i'm
nensely to the cost of it's administra-
ton, requiring the employment of
large numbers of so-caIled experts to
advise citizens and special agents to
search out instances of evasion of the
tax.
One trouble with the income tax
laws is that neither the average citi-
zen nor the man skilled in law can
be certain that his Interpretation of
the law is correct. Not even the Of
ficers of the~> can accu-
rately and definitely apply the law TO
an ordinary state Of facts. Scarcely
any two officials of the income tax
bureau of the government, given
separately the facts regarding the
business affairs of a concern of aver
age completely, would arrive at the
same results if asked to figure out the
net income and the tax due thereon.
This is common knowledge to people
who have had occasion to submit
their income tax statements to more
than one government official
An equally obnoxious and unjust
feature of this uncertainty is that
policy of enforcement under which
government officials always resolve
every doubt against the taxpayer.
If there be any uncertainty as to the
liability Of the taxpayer, the govern
ment official who first passes upon
the matter gives the government the
benefit of the doubt and forces the
taxpayer to employ counsel to defend
his interests Under such circum-
stances the citizen pays a double tax
first, that which he owes the gov
eminent, and then that which he
must-pay his attorney for protecting
him from an apparent injustice.
1t is just such a situation as this
that has brought Senator Smoot wide
spread support in his effort to SIM
plify the income tax laws and make
their application so direct and so
clear that the average citizen may
know the extent of his liability and be
satisfied that he is paying no more
than his just obligation to the gov
eminent.

SONG OF COURAGE.

SONG OF COURAGE.
oh, do not whimper, Little Man, but bear
your hurts the best yeu can,
Take every little bump and bruise and set
your teeth and grin;
The simplest game grows rough at times,
and falls await the boy who climbs;
Fhe field of youth is streWn with pits for
lads to stumble in
Life. from the cradle to the grave, calls
constantly to all "be brave"
From day to day are little hurts the
youngsters have to bear,
And ever since this world began, both pain
and grief have tested man.
not meet his share
Some day when you shall older grow, the
fates will deal a sterner blow.
The hurts will deeper sink than those
which scar your little knee;
These cuts and bruises quickly heal, but
Tine brings pain you'll always feel,
And by and by your heart, Ny Lad. viii
often heavy be.
So, play the game and be a man, and bear
your hurts the best you can.
Stand up and set your teeth and grin and
take what comes to you.
Be brave and true and unafraid; tbs out
Of pain the man is made;
BE only is the victor here who sees his
trials thru.

The woman whose complexion is
muddy and almost sallow has blood
that is clogged with poisons, She
awakens in the morning with a Ian

energy at all.
Her blood is weak and thin and she
needs to take Guides Pepto- Mangan
for a while, as thousands of women
do when they feel run down. It
makes rich, red blood. Where blood
was thin and weak it becomes rich
and red. Then that woman who has
had such a bad complexion and has
found it so hard to do things, begins
to look lot roster. She doesn't look
so droopy and tired In a little while
the look on her face brightens, her
complexion clears up, and she feels
happier.
The druggist in your neighborhood
sells GUIDES Pepto- Mangan. It has
been recommended by doctors for
years. There is the liquid and tablet
form. Take your achoice because the
medicinal value is the same. The
