THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF ADVERTISING

A remarkable story of what advertising can do,

PAYING YOUR INCOME TAX-In most form


of taxation the public authorities take up the
of each taxpayer, and decide how much he ought
to pay The value of real estate and personal and
business property can be determined by boards OF
assessors If the public have the judgement to
put competent and honest business men into these
positions, they will get fairly levied tax
The income tax law, however, looks to the in
dividual citizen to report his own income 1t was
predicted when this law was first passed that the
result would be to encourage people to conceal
their property. and that a most enormous amount
of lying would be done But it has not worked
that way. The penalties imposed for Justification
And the majority of successful peo-
pie know we'll enough that honesty is the best pol
icy, and that it is mean and low trick to cheat
the government
People who disposed to growl about their
income tax or who are tempted to underestimate
the amount due from them, should reflect on the
wonderful advantages they get from their Amer
ican citizenship.
AT time when the world has been almost CON
vnlsed by war, and by wicked ambitions of de-
signng men, the United States has escaped with
much less disturbance Our burden of debt is
much lighter. Our political system provides free
education, and wide opportunities for ambitious
people. More of the comforts of life are available
here than in any other land
The American people should not expect to have
all these blessings without paying for them In
many ways they cost money. Those who have
mad an exceptional share of these benefits, and
who are now asked to report and pay their income
assessment, should do so with the utmost honesty
and cheerfulness, remembering the gifts that their
country has brought to them

Harding is my Shepherd and am in want
He maketh me lie down on the park benches.
Fie eadeth me beside the free soup houses;
lie restoreth my doubts in the Republican party
lie leadeth me in the path of destruction for his
Party's sake.
Yea, tho | walk thru the valley of the shadow
OF starvation, do fear evil, for thou are against
me.
Thy politics, and the profiteers, they brighten
me.
Thou prepareth reduction in wages before me
III the presence of mine enemies; thou annointest
my income with taxes
My expense over-runneth my income
Surely poverty and unemployment will follow
me all the days of this administration.
