of the well known bone of con-
tention" in the halls of Congress
and in every nook and corner of
the country.
But at no time since the enact
ment of this Law has there been
such a feeling of relief and general
satisfaction apparent as has found
universal expression on the part of
income taxpayers during the filing
of returns and payment of income
taxes which closed last Monday,
March Is. Not only was the tax
made less onerous and b~urdensome
to every man being simplified in
many ways but the actual amount
of the aggregate tax was reduced
by nearly s400. 100000.
While the President will no doubt
be made aware OF the gratified
approval with which this new law
was greeted throughout the land it
is too bad hat he could not have
heard the individual of
hundreds who during the last few
days of the legal period visited the
office of Collector of Revenue Mar
shall S. Reynolds in Cheyenne. To
this office came men and ome
whose income tax in previous years
had constituted a real financial
burden. Some of these were in
formed that they were intirely ex-
empt under the new provisions,
others paid so much less than form
erly that the expression: THANK
God for Coolidge" was frequently
heard. Usually the name of the
Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew
Mellon, was coupled with that of
the President by appreciative tax
payers.
Wouldn't be a grand and glorious
feeling if the same sort of business
like downward revision of taxation
they paid their city, county and
Estate taxes?
WAS 1T A COINCIDENCE?
1t will be recalled by man. that
the Democrats of Wyoming held a
meeting in the state capital last
month at which Is out of % coun-
ties were represented. Among other
business transacted was the passage
of a set of resolutions giving en-
thusiastic endorsement to the ad.
ministration of Governor Nellie T
ROSS. This was construed by one
