That Double Taxation" Cry

Probably there is more boob logic dispensed on the sub
ject of taxation than any other one subject
Right now Seattle organ of selfish interests is max
ing speciality of creating dust clouds about the state
income tax proposal.
II opposes state income tax the ground that this
would be double taxation" the u. S. government also
levying such tax This double tax, according to this
reasoning is all wrong because il hits the same source
twice
Well don't all taxes hit the source, our incomes
What else could they hit in the last anaysisY Don't you
pay your real estate tax and personal tax and your
gasoline ard your dog license and all the rest OF the
expenses Of all the governmental units out OF your IN
come? Certainly you do It's double taxation, treble and
worse than that several times that you already
paying
The double taxation cry being raised against state
income tax is pure bunk, nothing else.
The trouble in this state that the farmer the
home owner and the firm with visible tangible assets
bearing all the load at least, too much OF the load
Other great incomes being missed entirely. state
income tax would catch these II in catching them II also
caught the farmer, the home owner and the firm with
tangible assets mentioned above il would at the
time reduce the latters present taxes accordingly and
more, too.
The lttle man." of course would be exempted, he
is now under the federal law it is the big fellow who
would pay as he can well afford TO do
The that is yelping against state income tax Is
either ignorant else he is afraid that property of his

will be made to pay.

Charley Robertson Near

Charley Robertson, White Sox pitch
er who won fame b. hurting a perfect
game against the Tigers at Detroit
last season, allowing no hostile to
reach first base, came within an ace
of another of the same character when
starring for Minneapolis back in 1920.
The Millers were playing at Louis
VILE and Bobby reached the eighth in
ming without a Colonel reaching first.
Jay Kirke, first sacker, and veteran,
popped a fly ball which any one of
three Millers could easily have caught.
Shortstop Jennings. Third Baseman
Davis and Left Fielder Ronreau went
after 1t. They all three hesitated,
fearing crash, and let the ball drop
safe among them for a hit.
Bethel, the next batter, crashed into
a double play. And Kirke was the
only Louisville man who reached first
those nine innings. 1t certainly was
tough break for Bobby.

Tommy felt a small hand thrust into
