"GET THE BIG FELLOW"

Most of the taxes collected today are paid by the people. The govern ment taxes the manufacturers and they add the taxes on to the price of the goods. Each concern who hand les the goods adds on a little more to cover their taxes. Consequently it falls on the public to pay all the tax es. Why not tax some of those peo pie who have millions and are not paying any taxes at all? Men who have a great deal of money, invest il in national, state and city bonds Why? They do it to escape the tax Why not make the 'big fellow" pay a tax as well as the small one?
