tage has made us great in the
eyes of the world. In spite of some
shortcomings, democracy holds
the hope of mankind.
Our tax system is one of the
finest in the world. II is so gradu-
ated that the man with money is
taxed and the man without is not.
The very fact that we pay taxes
shows that we have something to
pay taxes for. The poor man and
the rich man are taxed in accor-
dance with their incomes. Nothing
could be fairer.
Yet there is a continual gripping
about taxes albeit these gripes
are not serious unless we grippe
ourselves into believing our lot is
the worst of all. Should we be tax
ed to help other nations? They
were torn and battered for us: for
unless they had borne the burden
of the last two world wars, we to-
day would be captives of the COM
munists or the Nazis.
II is far better to stop the
fighting ere it reaches our shores
than to wait for the grim even
Qualities of war upon our own
sacred soil. II is far better to have
comrades in our struggle than to
struggle by ourselves.
Cheap In Comparison
II seems rather hard to see bill
lions dumped into foreign lands
but this is cheap in comparison
with the costs of financing a war
at our doors. We may vince when
the bills come in from England
and France, but they were wound
ed for our transgressions.
| We are great and mighty ma
ton today because they suffered
yesterday and today. In other
words our great fortune came by
season of their great misfortune
We stayed at home and made
money in two wars while our com
rades in democracy bled and died
on the battlefield. Our casualties
are for the most part dollar cas-
ualties; their casualties were life
casualties.
Spoiled Nation
We are spoiled nation The
sooner IT is over the sooner we
face the fact that after all the
fellow who pays taxes gets off
much lighter than the fellow who
blccds on the field of battle High
taxes or else! High taxes are here

fects of the Christening rod have
never been told. Those whom God
loves he chastens.
Taxation is a kind of chasten-
ing for the nations and in the long
run serves a survival purpose. II
Is just as well for us of the cur
rent generations TO know that
hardly will the tax problem be
lessened in this our day.
Taxes, high taxes and higher
taxes are here TO stay. We may as
well learn TO live with them for
we certainly cannot live without
them. When the tax bills begin to
roll In on the writer, he chafes to
be sure, but is is more from habit
than from reason.
Alternative
When the alternative to high
taxes come into consideration IL is
accompanied by a kind Of SOLDERING
effect that oils the bearing of our
tax paying machinery. Suppose we
did not pay heavy taxes. then
what?
Real Taxpayers!
What about the hundreds of
thousands of wounded and MAIN
I'd soldiers who must be cared for,
and their loved ones ana depend
ents? What about our great gov
eminent hospitals that must care
for the upset in mind induced by
terrors of the battlefield? What
about the great defense program
that must function If this land Of
the free and home of the brave is
to survive among the free nations
of the earth?
How without taxes are we to
stem the tide of communism

become prey To other nations "
II is high time that we sit down
and ponder these questions.
Something Worse Than Taxes
It is just as well that we face
the fact squarely that there is
something worse by far than taxa
