Then Lore to Pan TaGes

IIARRY HERKOWITZ helps collect fed
n eral taxes in the New York district.
So he ought to know a thing or two about
tax collecting.
Harry made speech before the Credit
Mems association not long ago. lie came
TO the question of income tax publicity.
He had this TO say:
VANITY, in some cases, induced persons
to report larger incomes than they actually
received, and they seemed to be perfectly
willing to pay for this kind of vanity.
"A business man sounded me out
regarding his report, saying he wanted to
boost his income for the effect II would
have on his creditors. He wanted to
know whether or not he would be liable
TO prosecution.
HE was assured that the government
would not raise any question to prove that
his income. should be lower, and that 1t
would accept the taxpayers dough-"
So that's that. Last year tax paying
was sorrow. Along came publicity.
Presto, change. Tax paying is a JOY, an
asset, something really worth living for
for those who see its real possibilities.
This puts new light on tax paying.
Pretty soon there may be no more teeth
pulling of dollars from the taxpayers
pocket. Mebbe there won't need to be
collectors. Just cashiers to receive folks
checks and publicity experts to see that
the payments are broadcast widely enough
so that tax overpaying is made worth
while.
Who said there wasn't any gold at the
end of the rainbow?

Steamship companies, featuring around

Now this is an interesting, albeit natu-

The families of some of these soldiers
are now going Over There to see if what
they heard Is so. II is the beginning of
new interest in world affairs.
Senator's and publicists who claim that
Americans are not interested in the af-

to think about in this new wanderlust on
