HOW TAXES PILE UP

Declaring that it is unfair to tax
the earnings on business in the
United States as a corporation and
then levy tax upon stockholders is
complaint that is frequently heard
because that is double taxation. But
as indicated before in this letter
stockholders who have received div
iGend checks will have to pay taxes
oil those dividends. Through such
a process dividends become the only
income that is subject to double
Federal taxation, declared Fred A.

that under the tax law passed by

RADIANT LIVING
CITIZENS OF THE WORLD
By REV. c. NJ. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, RidEely. MD.

There are some travellers who,
when they pack their suitcases, cram
into them a considerable amount of
criticism, ridicule and contempt for
everything abroad which they find
to be different from that to which
they have become accustomed.
They regard all things from the
proud and naughty point of view of
the greater enlighten-
ment concerning all things. They
themselves as being right
and all others as being wrong.
Little do they realize the narrow
ness of their own minds. the cramp-
ed limitations of their cirCumscribed
horizons, or their inability to alb
5orb added knowledge.
Such persons may travel abroad
but they will never be able to really
meet other people, to enter into their
lives, to catch their view point or
to feel their spirit. All that they can
bring home with them is a few
that they purchased here or
there.
No man is so possessed of an
abundance of knowledge that he can
rot learn something from even the
most ignorant man.
Every man who is different from
you has something to impart to you
which will enrich your knowledge,
broaden your view point and add to
your experience.
Radiance does not beam from a
mind that is compressed into the
restrictions of personal selfishness.
prejudices, and freez-
ing hauteur.
Radiance streams forth from a
mind that eagerly seeks knowledge
from all sources. that has a hand
shake for every man and that has
a sensibility that can feel the heart
beat of others.
The radiant man has become a
citizen of the world. he is interested
in every country, he considers him
self brother to every man.
