as it is too good to keep:
Dear Editor:
In reply to your request to send

My shattered financial condition
is due to Federal laws, State laws.

ton laws, liquor laws, mother-in-

Through these taxes | am com
PEELED to pay business tax, annuity

gas tax, light tax, water tax, sales
tax, food tax, income tax and excise
tax; | am required to get a bust
ness license, a drivers license, a

license and a dog license.
Also have TO pay to every hospi-
tai, charitable institution, in town,
including the red cross, the black
cross, the purple cross and double
cross, also the Ku Klux Khan.
For my own safety | am required
to carry life insurance, property
insurance, fire insurance, and burg
lar insurance, and liability insur-
ance and health and accident in
surance.
Ny business is so governed and
regulated that it is no easy matter
for me to determine who owns it.

pected, disrespected, examined,
