Gradually, though none the less
sure. there is creeping over US the
veil of secrecy as to the spending of
our taxes, the amount paid, etc.
Note the movement on foot, now, to
well In mystery the amount of in
lcome tax man pays. Why should
the income taxpayer have the
amount he pays on held a secret
while your tax return to the county
auditor is an open book TO be read
of all men who care to read it? Is it
fair? Note the failure TO publish
the detailed receipts and eXpendi-
Itures of the county, as has been done
formerly Can you imagine a con1-
pany keeping secret from its stock
holders an itemized statement Of re-
ceipts and expenditures, even in the
name OF economy? Wouldn't you
want to know something about
whence the money came and what
was done with it by your officials?
You would. But, as stockholder
in the biggest company Of all-the
government-you are not deemed
capable to weigh such matters in
telligently so it is kept secret from
you-a stockholder in the company
in the sacred name of economy.
Then comes along taxation amend
ment that would require you farm
ers to pay as much tax on $4,000
farm as his city brother pays on a
$4,000 investment on intangibles.
Secrecy is the watchword of the
day. Just why should you pay as
much on $4,000 as another man
pays on $40. 600 because you happen
to have invested in something that
can be seen and you can't dodge?
Secrecy. quietness. Don't let your
left hand know what the right hand
does. Lay still until you are bound

impenetrable veil of secrecy. Hush!

ALL OUT OF SORTS
So Was This McC0nnelsville Woman
Who Tells Her Experience

| Who Tells Her Experience
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to theii
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy
spells and that tired, depressed feel
ing. Thousands have found new
health and strength by helping the
weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills
"a stimulant diuretic. This Nc
Connelsville case is one of many:
Mrs. A. T. Best, Jefferson and
Fourth streets, says: my back was
SO lame in the morning. I couldn't
get at my work. A bearing down
pain across my kidneys wore me out; !;
/ tired easily and dizzy spells came
over me when specks danced before
my eyes. My kidneys were weak
and acted irregularly. A friend ad-
vised me to try Doan's Pills and in a
short time, felt more like myself
The backache was gone and my kid
neys were in healthy condition."
Mrs. Best is only one of many Nc
Connelsville people who have CRATE
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mrs. Best had
the remedy backed by home testi-
nony. so cents at all dealers. Fos-
