ment in a two-hour meeting yes

The session followed public dis

Tux Collectors
Aren't All ogres
By JACK JONAS

The tax chief for the WASH

dolefully. It's tough, he said,
trying to convince people that
the income tax collector really
isn't the ringleader in mans
inhuinanity to man.
But with the April Is tax
idealine sneaking up, lets take
a closer look at these revenue
scoundrels who are popularity
pictured as delighting in
badgering the little man to
cough up his last dime.
Take the collector in the
Washington Office, for ex-
ample, who was bounding a
widow for a tax bill of some
$40. The widow was trying to
keep body and soul together
by working in a laundry.
The collector wasn't having
much luck. He'd talked to the
widow several times, and the
bill still wasn't being paid.
Well, he had a job to do, so
he called on the laundry oper-
ator, ready to attach the
widows salary. The collector,
the operator and the widow
got together in the laundry's
Office.
Nov, what is your salary?"
the collector asked.
"Twenty-four dollars a
week." the woman said.
Good heavens!" the In
human tax collector exploded.
"I can do better than that for
you"
Then, with the laundry man
looking on, the tax collector
picked up the telephone,
called another laundry boss,
got the widow a job at $50 q
week.
