TOO MUCH

OUT OF EACH of our earned dol
lars, government - federal, state,
county, municipalities just about
80 cents for taxes. In 1900 it was
only seven cents. We are paying
too much for government, or paying
for too much government. We, and
we only, can stop that dollar-eating
tax monster. The ballot box pro-
vides the weapon with which to
slay it.

AMERICAN WEALTH


THE TOTAL WEALTH of Amer
lea, including everything that has
value, is estimated at SIS billion
dollars. To divide that equally
among all the people of the nation
would give each of US about s., 1885.
With such an amount no one could
accomplish anything. We could
not buy and operate a farm, we
could not build factory or a rail-
road Wealth becomes productive
and of value to each and all of US
only when it IS consolidated. That
is just what we Americans have
done with our mites.
That annual revenue is more
equitably divided In America than
in any other nation of the world.
Those who may get more than some
others can only return or reinvest
their larger share and by doing so
increase the total of national
wealth for the benefit of all of US.
Such is the American system, the
American way of life, under which
we have grown to the stature of the
greatest nation In the world, the
aation of greater wealth, greater in
uence, greater opportunity for
each individual, than any other.
