Passing it on.

+ A wage earner-one of appar-
emily very moderate income
wrote to Congressman urging
reduction of the high surtax rates
of the present income tax law.
The congressman replied with a
very caustic letter asking the
wage Garner what interest he had
in the reduction of the high sur
tax rates since his income must
be so small as not to be affected
by the rates on large incomes.
The question seems plausible on
its face and yet anyone who stops
to consider the matter for more
than one minute will readily I'M
derstand that the wage Garner
knew what he was talking about
and the Congressman did not.
AS a matter of fact the small
wage Garner is not at all interest
ed in the reduction of the income
tax rates on small incomes for he
pays no income tax directly. His
income in most instances is so
small as not to exceed his exemp-
tons But the small wage Garner
pays indirectly the high surtax
rates on large incomes. The
manufacturer, the professional
man, the corporation operating
large transportation or public ser
vice concerns, pays a heavy income
tax and adds that tax to the cost
of doing business and necessarily
that cost is included in the prices
charged for goods or services. The
consumer or the patron pays the
tax in the end.
This is a fact that no one will
question when he analyses the
effect of taxation, and yet it is a
fact that a great many people
overlook Exchange.

alarming results. We wish the
absentees a speedy recovery.
Monday noon we were royalty
entertained by the Basket Ball
boys who gave us some poppy ac-
counts of the Madison trip. On
the trip down they stopped at
Neenah for a short time, and
while there saw Miss Beerbaum,
who we all remember as one of
our faculty members of last year.
At Madison the boys were divided
into two groups and taken to fra
ternity houses. Evidently the
street cars proved to be the main
attraction for Max and Walter.
The historical museum was merely
a side show in comparison with
the street cars. Visits were made
to the Capitol building and Uni
versity. Mr.. Kracht left them to
their own resources for a short
time on the days that they did
not play basket ball-and they
sure made use of his kindness.
The Coach told us that they visit
ed the supreme court room; we
trust that the visit was merely
one of curiosity. We weren't told
otherwise, but we will draw our
own conclusions. Every boy will
vouch that Madison is some place
despite the fact that it took a
private detective to keep track of
them. The trip was certainly a
ripsnorter according to the tales
they tell.
Perhaps some of the absences
Monday morning were due to the
fact that report cards were given
out last week-let's hope not.
