Who Pays the War Piper!

just as the majority of rich men escaped great sacrnnce
during the war, so are they now escaping paying the cost Oh
war. Government moves In a mysterious way It's wonders to
perform.
Take the case of honest John Smith, who has spent 100000
in building his business. John gives work to 30 men. de pays
his village and county taxes and perhaps a personal property
tax. On his business property he pays a school tax though ne
has 10 children. He pays his share for county road improve
ments and maintenance, but he is too busy to use the roads
Also he pays a state and corporation tax. Then he turns around
and pays an income tax ON any profit he makes and a Surtax IL
he makes much profit. He had a hard time keeping bus business
alive while be was away at the front
Tom Jones, who kept the home fires burning during the
war, is rowing In quite a different boat. His children go to
school He drives his motor ear along the county roads He
enjoys the FIRE and police protection that John helps pay for,
and he benefits by all local improvements. Tom invested
100000, too. But Tom was wise in his generation. He put
his money into tax exempt securities
' Tom, being successful, with quite a bank roll, often is heard
criticizing John because John does not spend another 100000
to enlarge his business, and the Washington wiseacres, our
national experts on taxation, wonder why it Is that all the
John Smiths don't expand, and why all the Tom Jones decline
to go into business, and also why lots Of the rich men have nc
money to lend for business expansion.

Justice Needs a New Dress

We are prone to criticize the metropolitan press Tor us
sensationalism, which in the light of our peaceful lives and
environment seems strange and is abhOrrent to us. Perhaps we
are SO far removed from the spectacular in life that we have
come to regard actual news records as eOlOrful imaginative
writing. We should, however, be thankful for the imagination
shown in some of the metropolitan comments on the news Of the
cities, for it may serve to arouse the people to a deeper sense
Of oldfashioned American justice.
Commenting on the trivial sentence given to two New
Workers who stole 100000 from their gunable customers,
Arthur Brisbane sets down the following motto: If you want
TO steal in the United States be a wholesaler: this Is no place
for a retail thief" Q
Some persons may regard this as rabid literature. Actually,
however, it seeks to drive home the fact that the sooner Dame
Justice puts ON toys more in keeping with the times, the less
reason will there be to worry about the spreading OF unrest.
Nothing can be more helpful to the nation than sharply calling
to public attention any indication that there is one law for the
rich and another for the poor.
The public mind is rapidly reaching the boiling point. With
political leaders responsible for the appointing and eecting of
our judges, and the exhibition of justice we experience as a
result, no wonder party lines are breaking down.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-07-18
