has been much discussion about the matter. Seeral months ago the bor- ough board discussed it as some requests for the ambulance to go to New York has been received.
 The warden indicated today he will bring the matter up for dis cussion either at the September meeting of the board of warden and burgesses or at the session follow ing that. The September meeting will be held Tuesday night.
 During previous discussions, there had been some objections on the part of burgesses to the ambulance being sent to New York, on the grounds that If 1t were needed here, 1t would not be immediately avail able.
 The warden 1 n discussing this angle today, pointed out the times the machine would be asked to go to New York would be compara- lively few.
 He also said that If 1t took a patient to the New Haven hos pitnl, and an emergency call came in while 1t was gone, there still might be lengthy wait before the ambulance got back, if 1t should be delayed at the hospital.
 He said this likelihood of 1t be- ing needed here during the time it were sent to New York would be small in view of the few times 1t

An increase of $2,581.77 in total postal receipts for the month of August, 1o36, as compared to the same month last year was an- nounced this morning by Postmas- ter Charles Babin in his monthly report. This figure represents a 6.7 per cent increase in postal busi- ness.

The July drop was due mainly to the fact that several local factories closed down for one week. At that time," said MT. Babin to- day, i've didn't have much outgoing mail but we handled plenty of wish-you-were-here cards"

No Income Is Small Enough To Evade Toll Of Hidden Taxes, Flynn Shows
Merchant Called
 Biggest Collector
 For Government

Take, for instance, the example of beer. A full barrel of beer sells for SIS. The brewer gets So for him self and $6 for the government. The tax Is paid by the brewer and in turn collected from the tsvern-keep- CT. The tavern-keeper collects this tax from the beer thinker one glass ct 8 time.
 Now, as you probably know, every merchant fixes the price on the basis of what he pays for his mer- chandise. In fixing the price he takes the amount he pays for the article and adds what is called Q mark-up. Let us suppose he figures on adding 100 per cent to cover cost of operation and profit. Now If he paid 60 for barrel of beer, he would expect to sell the beer for S1s. But as he pays $16 for 1t he expects to sell 1t for $30. The net result is that the customer pays not only the $6 tax which the govern ment gets but Q large additional sum besides. The beer drinking public instead of SIS.
 The number of billions paid by American customers in this way cannot be calculated. It is gigantic. This is one of the bad fruits of bad system of taxes.

John T. Flynn Of the taxes col- lected in this country are hidden taxes. The biddegtS tax collector in the land Is the merchant and the big-payment days are not income tax days but Saturdays when the American worker and his white collar brothers and their respective wives stream to the stores with the weeks wages.
 For instance when the average taX-free American citizen, glorying in the happy thought that he doesn't make enough to pay an in- come tax, goes into a bar room to dring @ glass of beer, he does not realize that when he lays his ten cents down on the bar three and onehalf cents of 1t Is for taxes. If he indulges himself in a couple of glasses a day and smokes 0 pack of twenty cigarettes he will pay seven cents on the beer and six cents on the cikarettes. That's thir- teen cents a day-and in year it's around $45. .,. Corporatonis Howl,
 Taxpayer Takes It
 If he has an income of 5000 he will pay about $29 In income taxes after he has taken his deductions. He lets 90 0 lusty roar about that, but he never gives one little squeak of potest because of what the fed- eral government takes out of him while he is drinking his beer and smoking his throat medicine.
 Do you remember the howl of of anguish the corporations sent up about Q pitiful little $500, 100000 of undistributed profits tax? But do you recall one little peep out of the liquor drinkers over twice that much or from the smokers about ale most twice as much?
 $1OOO.a-y year Man Pays 12.3 Per Cent Tax
 The buyer in the store pays taxes on so many articles that htere is no keeping track of them-hundred or millions on gasoline, on beauty preparations, rouge and powder and soap, on sugar, through tariff duties, and on several hundred other are ticles through customs taxes. He pays taxes to the city and the state when he pays his rent. And in the states and Q few cities there are sales taxes hat nick the customers for at least $360000, 600.
 What does all this amount to in the cast of the average man2 How much of his eranings does he hand over to the federal, state and local authorities in taxeS2 The Twentieth Century Fund has made e study of such tax payments. Its findings arc, to say the least, startling.
 It reports that c wage earner in New York, for example, earning $i, ,000 pays $l23, which Is 12.3 per cent; that c salaried worker earn ing $2,000 pays S238; c salaried man earning $5,00o pays $ele.
 The average merchant in New York state earning $6,0o0 pays $i,646 in taxes, but he is enabled to shift about half of this to his custobers by including the taxes in the price of his goods. But there are cases where Q Salaried worker earning 6 thousand or two thousand dollars pays as high as ls per cent.
 A man earning e hundred thou sand dollar salary may pay as high aS 60 per cent. But from the point of view of the tax gatherer there are not enough men earning such salaries to make up much money for the governments.
