The Levathan, with its $3.50 tons displacement,

$8000000 expended in fitting out again for passen

prestige that from its having been used a

So there is the biggest and best liner afloat under

HEAVY TAXES

Taxation, national state and local, is costing the
American people one dollar out of every seven they
1t is staggering burden to people not &C
customed to such levies. And good deal of it is
doubtless unnecessary Yet it may be questioned
whether most of the kicking is justified.
The real question about taxation is not how much
it amounts to- in total in percentage of income but
what the taxpayer gets for his money. Consider that
for minute.
Is one-seventh of family income really too large
a proportion to pay for schools, police and fire pro-
lection, improved streets and roads, sewers, water
mains courts of justice libraries postal facilities the
protection of ynavy and state militia, the sup
port and administration of various kinds of public
works and charitable enterprises such supervision
is necessary public service corporations weather
reports, agricultural reports and advice and all the
other useful activities of government?
Ask the man who $1,000 year whether he
would willingly dispense with all of these public
services and keep his $1,000 of tax money Of
he wouldn't, for what then would any of his
$1,000 be to him?
Sound critics moi the $4,000, 100000 or s1O,OOO,-
100000 year that the nation pays for government
would deal with appropriations for foolish and un-
necessary purposes, and with the wasting of money by
executives through unbusnessike methods. 1t is
question of efficiency Efficient government is worth
whatever it costs.
