NEW NATIONAL TAX

There is ample indication now that the Amer
lean people face additional federal taxation DUR
ing the present fiscal year. Receipts less than
were figured on expenditures are more. Between
the two there is an unbridged span of $697 00O,-
OOO If Great Britain fails to pay interest on her
debt, the discrepancy will approximate $9O00OO,-
900.
"The prospects,, therefore, that if new tax
bill is enacted as now seems likely, it will be en-
acted at the short session of congress beginning
the first Monday in next December" says the Bud
get national magazine devoted to governmental
efficiency.
Congress has already discarded stamp taxes
on checks and securities, higher tobacco taxes a
tax on gasoline and automobiles there still
remains the income tax, to be sure. "That tax
might be changed to start at six per cent, even
eight" says Budget, con the first $4,000 of net
income as compared with the present four per
cent What countrywide clamor that would start
Consider then, corporation taxes. 1t is difficult
to conceive of more effective barrier to bust
ness revival. There remain the surtaxes Any
attempt to increase them would meet with almost
universal opposition by all classes of taxpayers"
The magazine ends it's news-editorial by say
ing that the Treasury has been empty since the
civil war but that unless 1--WE are willing to have
our National checks marked no funds and dis
1onored way must be found within the next
,welve months to meet those obligations and
.hecks."

would rather tackle after election than before to
ay the least

''EXHAUSTS SUPERLATIvES"

There is lake in California, along the Toga
pass road recently completed, that is interest
ing mystery. 1t is now, for the first time Access
sable to tourists. Mark Twain visited the land
and afterwards declared that the water so soapy
that by taking a handful and rubbing it on the
head it is possible to build up lather three
inches high. Now DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
Columbia's proper president, visits Lake Mono and
declares that it "exhausts" his superlatives.
"Mono Lake lies in lfeless, treeess hideous des-
ert, 5000 feet above the level of the sea- and is
guarded by mountains 1000 feet higher, whose
submits are always clothed in clouds. This sol
emn silent sailless sea-this lonely tenant of the
lonliest spot on earth-is little graced with the
he says. 'It is unpretending ex-
panse of grayish water about 100 miles in circum-
ference with two islands in it's center, mere up
heavals of rent and scorched and blistered lava,
showed over with gray banks and drifts of pumce
stone and ashes the winding-sheet of the dead
volcano, whose vast crater the lake has seized up
on and occupied" There is no life in the lake,
none on the banks, save worm that infests the
lake. Half dozen little mountain brooks flow
into Mono Lake but not stream of any kind
flows out. 1t neither rises nor falls, apparently,
and what it does with its water is dark and
bloody mystery.
What comparison! We wonderful DIR. Butler
wouldn't be more than exhausted" if he were to
spend few weeks in Wisconsins lake country ?

FAIR AND EXPOSITION

Next week should be in fair annals the most
successful that the Marathon County Agricul-
tural society has ever experienced. The Wiscon-
sin Valley Fair and Exposition commences Mon
day, which will be entry day, and it has been thor
oughly advertised from Portage to Tomahawk.
Tuesday will be just as important as Wednesday
and Thursday and Secretary Prehn is making an
endeavor to provide some particular attraction
then, possibly auto polo which won such common
dation last season.
The fair represents tremendous amount of
work. It's secretary has been exerting every eff
fort to obtain the best free attractions to insure
the finest kind of exhibits and to build up the
Marathon county fair into one that will attract all
of Central Wisconsin. He has succeeded to an ex-
ceptional degree.
This annual event is the greatest get-together
that could possibly be afforded. 1t brings people
of all classes together reuntes old friends and
provides entertainment and diversion that is es
pecially deserved by the farmers after laborious
summer

TO THE SEWING CIRCLE

Here's an honest little article mailed by a
Democratic committee to members of the Sewing
circle in one community:
"Do you wear corsets? If so, you are one of
the women that the Fordney- McCumber Republi-
can tariff bill will compel to pay $58,O00,000 in
taxes year The proposed duty under the Ford
ney-McCumber bill is ga per cent or 81 times the
wage cost. The present duty is 30 per cent on
plain cotton corsets or nearly twice the present
wage cost of 17.3 per cent. The Fair Tariff
League to whom you are indebted for the Stats
tics herein estimates that the proposed duty
would be a possible tax of $29,000,000 for the
manufacturers, and cost women at retail price
twice this, or $58,000000. This tax is for manu-
facturers-not for revenue In 1919 the govern
ment collected only $4,000 on corsets; only
$4,000 in 1920, and in 1921 only $4,000.
"The Fair Tariff League, which has made
special study of this bill, says that the proposed
duty will shut out imports and compel women to
buy from domestic manufacturers at any prices
they dare charge. domestic manufacturer who
is prosperous says It's an outrage. However,
corset factories are hard up, but so are some
women.
"We make corsets cheaper and better than
anywhere else in the world. In 1920 the exports
on corsets $50 times the imports.
"'rhe Ga per cent tax on these corsets is shown
to be wholly unjust by the fact that wages in the
corset industry only 173 per cent.
''The Fair Tariff League says that this corset
tax is because women have not known and have
not voted
Are you going to vote for this increased tax
by voting the Republican ticket or vote against it
by voting the Democratic ticket?"
