THE POLITICAL currLEFlsH

La Toilette Is between the
devil and the deep sea on his war
record. BY aecentuAting it he is
said TO Believe he will get the
vote Of most OF those Of German
descent. On the other hand this
might stir a great many who,
while agreeing with some of the
principles, are too patriotic to
cond0re his war acts"
The above is from the Boston
transcripts Campaign" column and
calls attention to the dilemma in
which Messrs. La Toilette and
Wheeler find themselves. 1t Is not
their only dilemma, however. Their
attack on the Supreme Court has
''backfirsd" and they are trying to
have people forget 1t. However. it

SUGGESTED ~ TAXES

One reads that In a city Of q neigh
boring state over quarter million
dollars have been squandered on one
project alone. How many OF the
rssding taxpayers in that state real,
izs this must be made up In taxes?
Taxes are an ever present source
OF more or less anxiety and criticism.
They are present in the municipality.
In the county. In the state ana in the
UnttSd States. Even In the State OF
wisconsin under the tutslags OF no
less. an authority than LaFolistts

Every political aspirant talks about

q half billions In 10 years. Federal
and state taxes have increased fast
Or than municipal taxes. but there
has been An increase all around.
The Board finds that In 1890 all
taxss represented 10 per cent Of the
national income. that in 1903 1t
amounted to 81 per cent; that in
1919 It was 81 per cent. The ratio
thon doubled In six years and In 1919
was J:.1 per cent and a record Of
1877 Der cent was reached In 1921. In
1898 It came down to ll.6 per cent.
but the experts predict that what
