Some Basic Truth

An OLD SAYING couples death and taxes as two
Il things from which there is no escape. Death
is our debt TO nature and taxes are our debt for
the privilege of being governed.
Death comes only once and unlike taxes does not
repeat the performance with increasing terrors.
But taxes come every year and sometimes oftencr
and with an increasing paralyzing effect.
The tax collectors are like the undertakers. run.
ming a constantly increasing bill. Shifting the
burden on some one else has been a popular game
to camouflage the issue.
Tax questions offer the politician one of the most
fertile fields of q~uackery and demagogy.
1t was found in Wisconsin that railroads we're
taxed 20 per cent of their net earnings.
In the same state and in the same year manu-.
featuring concerns were taxed three per cent.
Both added the tax to the cost of the service they
rendered TO the people of Wisconsin.
1t is explained that three per cent Of 500 valua-
tion is no more than one per cent of $500.
But it does not stop there. When the valuation
is raised the three per cent goes right on.
In 1917 federal taxes on corporations were two
billions more than in the year 1916.
But the net income of those corporations, after
paying two billions more tax, was the same.
Taxes are either handed on to the consumer or
they are taken out of the surplus funds.
The bigger the taxes the smaller the surplus and
savings left in the hands of the people.
Taxes should be levied with some intelligent rule
as to the ability of the citizen TO pay.
But taxation that eats mp all the surplus of in
diyiduals or corporations is slow suicide.
The first thing to do about taxes is to reduce
them and then plenty Will remain and will increase
Taxes are like weed seed-they spring up and
multiply from scattering the tax money about.

and his pathway TO the lock was
1trewn with flowers by fair haired
maidens who wept the while they sang
touching love songs Much different.
wen say from the fictitious account OF
young MIR. Sullivan's departure from
Ireland.
Patrick Sullivan's life in America is
an open book and everybody has read
Il. It is a record OF accomplishment
from the day he hit Castle Garden
with VT bits in his pocket to the pres
ent moment when he don't have to
concern himself about his next meal,
blu does have to figure industriously
so as not to short change Uncle Sam
n a matter of income tax. He num-
bers his friends from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Canadian
border 20 the Rio Grande and the
gulf. This territory does not contain
them all for he has a lot of friends in
Europe. Asia M Africa. not to speak
OF friends n relatives in Norway.
His occupation is maintaining the
most perfect lawn In Casper and get
ting TO his office down town at noon.
Formerly his recreation was running
the Wyoming state senate in exact
parliamentary fashion. Now. he in
structs the Republican national com.
mittee hoH to do the same thing and
also win landslide victories.
When occasion arises all other
American flag wavers go to the rear
and Patrick Sullivan comes to the
front. He has been known to set poIit.
ical conventions wild with plain and
ornamental patriotic p%erorations and
bring tears to the statue of liberty in
an apostrophe TO the land Of the free
and the home Of the brave.
He possesses n broad streak Of hu.

serious Norsemen, from which he d..
scended.
Now, you have the best we can do
to correct a long standing error that
has crept into Wyoming history with
reference to the nationality OF Patrick
Sullivan. If it isn't convincing. it at
: least carries out the promise made TO
the victim Of these few kind remarks.

Or do you think America would be better off with
drones, idlers, anarchists, Bolsheyists and Grim

If you had the right to say what Americans
should emigrate to other lands, would you send the
prosperous and healthy minded, or the criminal
and the loafer?
OF course you believe America should receive
only the best immigrants. And of course, IL you
could export emigrants, you would pick the least
desirable to go away.
Other countries feel the same way. They, also,
would get rid of their ineffectives.
And VIC let them get away with it. Our ~selectiTe
immigration law says nothing of quality: let a
man have enough money, or be able to show he
won't be a public burden. and he can come in. up
