WHO PAYS THE TAXES 2

Magner White, writing in the San Diego Sun opines that the persons and firms usually described as big taxpayers aren't really taxpayers at all.
 They are tax COLLECTORS, he says. They collect tax money from you and me-in our rents, on our groceries, on gasoline and oil for our cars. It isn't their money they're using to pay taxes; it's yours and mine. Where did they get it any way? From you and me!
 We are taxpayers They are mere ly the collectors, who pass on to the public coffers the money they get out of us. And that's why We little guys are entitled to yell about government expense.
 How right Wagner White is! Let's try putting his idea in a little diff 1erent wording.
 We little guys get a salary or wages-income. The landlord or gro cer gets money from rent or sale of goods-again income. If the land lord doesn't get more than enough money to pay his taxes, he has no income; he works for nothing. Therefore, he has no alternative but to take in enough to pay his taxes and leave him something over. If he doesn't he goes out of business just like we little guys would go on re- lief if we had no income.
 Consequently, it can make no diff ference whether the tax is levied on a business surplus or corporation in- come or whatnot-the money even tually has got to come out of the pockets of us little guys.
 The secret is this: A number of years back somebody decided that we little guys would yelp if we knew how much taxes we were paying. So they decided to fool us. They levied taxes that are passed on to Us in the price we pay for a loaf of bread, or in the rent for our apart ment or house.
 Smart! But then we little guys are getting smart too!-Ex.

INCOME TAX BLANKS SENT TO
 100000 FROM TACOMA OFFICE

TACOMA, January - (Specian Approximately one hundred thous- and federal income tax return forms for the year 1886. which must be filed on or before March Is, are being mailed to individual taxpayers today, it was announced by Thos. w. Henricksen. Acting Collector of Internal Revenue.
 Except for a few minor changes in the form. covering the reporting of dividend payments income which is now subject to normal tax rates, the forms are similar to those used by taxpayers who filed returns for the year 1885. The normal rate of to of four percent for individuals remains the same, as do the surtaX rates in the lower brackets The Revenue Act of 1886. now in effect, however. covering 1886 incomes. has increased surtaX rates in the up- per brackets of income
 The filing of duplicate returns on the green forms is again a re- quirement under the law and each taxpayer is being furnished such duplicate copy which must be filed with the original on March 15. This requirement. became effective in 1885 and is continued under the present law.
 Corporation income tax forms are not, as yet, available for distribu- tion to taxpayers but will be mailed immediately upon their receipt from the government printing office The new revenue act requires corpora ations to pay a graduated rate of normal tax ranging from eight to fifteen per cent, replacing the for mer flat rate of thirteen and three quarters per cent. All corporations are also subject to the new excess profits tax and the surtax on un- distributed profits, the rates of which range from seven to twenty two per cent.
 The statutory filing period for all calendar year income tax returns begins on January 1 and ends on March , with the Collector of In- ternal Revenue at Tacoma or at any of the district offices which are lo- cated at Seattle, Spokane, Belling- ham, Everett, Yakima, Aberdeen. Walla Walla and Juneau Alaska. The return and the remittance cov- ering the tax due must be filed in the Collectors office not later than March 5 to escape the penalties for delinquency.
 As in previous years, single per sons who had net incomes of $1,00O or more or gross incomes of $5,0OO or more, and married persons who had net incomes of $250O or more o1 gross incomes of $5,000 or more must file federal income tax returns regardless of tax liability.

An explanation of the rising cost of living may be seen in the re- gently disclosed fact that the na- tion's leading farm products-meat, milk and wheat-produce more in taxes than they do in farm profits.
 No handmade thing lasts forever except the government bureau set up to handle an emergency.
