DAD FULGHUM'S COMMENT
ON FEDERAL TAXES
The Mellon Bill.

Roger w. Babson, the generally
accepted statistican, says that
the Mellon Bill will make an in
direct gain to all taxpayers of
$50 per head. He gives the fol
lowing table and the saving that
the bill will be to all classes of
taxpayers:
Net incomes from $1,000 to
$4,000, 41.61.
Net incomes from $4,000 to
$4,000, 8.19
Net incomes from $4,000 to
$4,000, 1853.
Net incomes from $4,000 to
500, 900, 1861.
Net incomes from all over
100000, 2.59
And now Mr.. Taxpayer look over
you can see just where you come in.
You VIII be able to tell just how much
It will reduce your taxes. There is
just thirteen million one hundred and
twenty one thousand and six hundred
people that get their taxes reduced un-
der this bill which is less than one
fourth of our taxpayers.
1t is estimated that we have some
thing over thirty million farmers
alone. How many of you farmers are
paying income tax? Less than one
fourth of our taxpayers are paying in.
come tax, and again the people that
will get the benefit OF this reduction
are the people that least feel the burd-
en- of taxation. They are what we
might call our people that are on
easy street. 1t put me in mind of the
fellows prayer, when he said, Lord
help the rich. the poor can help help
themselves" Everybody right now is
hollering for tax reduction, and we all
agree that they ought to have 1t, but
the question is, do the people that
most need it, get 1T under this bill?"
After creating all the useless boards
COMM teest inspectors and what not
to use our receipts, for the past two
years the Treasury Department has
closed it's books with n balance on the
credit side Of more than three humid
red million dollars each year This
means that the people were paying
almost a million dollars day into the
government treasury, for which the
government had no legitimate use.
When there is n surplus in the
treasury it means one thing, "the
people are overtaxed."
We want tax reduction, we want It
bad, but why not have 1t for the
masses instead OF just for the classes +?
But here comes the hard question:
how are you going to help the people
when they show no disposition to help
| themselves Every time there comes
up proposition to vote bonds, It
matters not what for, they rush to
the polls, rain or shine, and when the
votes are counted the bonds have car
ried. Then when they come to pay
their taxes they holler their heads
off over high taxes 1t is sure a
queer proposition, and 1t will take a
Moses to solve It.
