If the Democratic women’s clubs, to which this sort of guff is sent, are making a study of light fiction it will be a very valuable addition to their bibliography, but if they are in search of acts re garding the administration of this government and what the tax bill passed by the congress really pro national committee is bulletin addressed bill vidts this statement will lead them as far away! from the truth as it is possible to get. This sort of literature sent to women’s ¢lubs. Cd uough they are Democratic clubs, will not ¢ ceive any woman who does her own thinking a who intends intelligently to cast her ballot yvember election. Whose taxns have been reduced? What a foolish question to ask a woman! None of the millions of taxpayers realize any more than the women tha they no longer pa ten per cent tax when the; buy umbrellas, parasols, millinery, hosiery, knit goods, underwear, kimonas, petticoats, waists ond otier wearing apparel. Ne oné is more aware of the fact than the womar that she no longer pays a tax upon perfumery and cosmetics. No one is more aware than the woman that she no longer pays a tax of ten per cent when she pat ronizes a soda fountain, or buys a box of candy or a dish of ice cream. Noone realizes more than the woman that she no longer’ pays a tax when she buys medical prepara tior tooth paste ond like arficles at the drug stores. All of these taxes known as “nuisanc taxes took $72,000,000 a year out of the pockets of the average family and the woman of the family paid the bulk of it. i No one is more aware Of ‘the fact that they no longer pay a tax on phonograplis, pianos, and other musical instruments than the women of the house- bold that the children no longer have to pay a tax m foot balls, fishing tackle, baseballs and other sporiing goods of all kinds. Those taxes took from the average families $36,000,000 a year. All of these taxes were repealed by the new tax bill which Democratic women are informed did not reduce their taxes one cent: The women of the household are the buyers. They handle the family budget, They know full well the drain that was made upon the family pocketbook by the “hundred and one” taxs which the new tax bill repealed. They know that the cost of shipping goods which they bought of the butcher, the Waker and candlestick maker’ was added to the price which they were compelled to pay. They realize e truth of the old adage that “the consumer pays e freight.” The new tax bill repealod all the taxes on freight and also on goods shipped by express or The repeal of these taxes alone is sav- ies living on a salary or @ than a million dollars each day of the ear, including Sundays. z | Women travel about as much as men and they are perfectly aware that the new tax law repealed the tax upon passenger tickets. The repeal of this tax saves the traveling public a. quarter of a mil- lion doll h day. 3 According to a statcivent issued by the Income tax department of the United States treasury, over 90 per cent gf those making income tax returns ave an income 000 or le: In other words, the man and woman in moderate circumstances con- stitute over 90 per cent of the nation’s income tax- payers. Of these returns, nearly 4,000,000 are the re f husbands and wives. Oyer 132,000 more rns of women who are heads‘of fam Within a few of 504,000 more are the returns of wonien alone. ‘The new tax law provides that all heads of families having a salary or a wage of $5,000 a year or less shall be granted an increase of $500.a year in their exemptions. It alsa provided that where any one has dependents the exemption t aC - for each dependent should be increased from $200 ayer er to $400. This proviso reduces income taxes ap. proximately $100,000,000 a year, every cent of which is saved those families whose total wage or salary is less than $5,000 a year. Surely no multimillion- aires about that? The. repeal of all those taxes made a direct cut f over $64,000,000 a year in taxes which were paid by the family with the average income. It is the woman of such a family who must manage to make both ends meet. The lifting of the burden of these {nxes benefitted her more than anyone else. In addition to this-sum the new tax bill passed by the Republican party repealed taxes on pre miums for life, accident, health, fire and other in- snrance which amounted to $20,000,000 a year. It repeated sundry other taxes aggregating possibly $10,000,000 a rear. 006,800 and sobtr: After adding, these to the $644. ne the fotal from s813.00).900. in the | income of ninety per cent of the population was for the children—these taxes were’ repealed relieve the rich man who did not notice u.

But when pol'tics enter in, based on fact businets-like admin the problem of rate-making, fly ont by lecisions gon offers a shining example at the present » of this state of affairs Tt had a public service commission whose find ings were nationally recognized . Because it made a decision increasing telephone | rates, after two exhaustive public hearings, and be use it refused to recind its decision on threat being recalled, political agitation caused defeat f two of the commissioners who refusci to make “political” rather than decisions of fact. The Oregon supreme court might just as well be | retired at election when it fails to make a decision jin accord with passing popular clamor. Officials who are put in office on a pre-elec tion promise (to get votes) that they will make rate decisions to meet popular demand, regardless of facts, are on.a par with a candidate for judge ship who woth run for office-on a pre-election promise that he would make certain decisions if elected. tions of fact, not of politics, must be the | ng factors in public regulation as well as in| our courts or else both bodies will fail to function and a mockery be made of government and regula tion. =o | ” Some Basic Truth y OLD SAYIN things from which there is no escape. Death is our debt to nature and taxes are our debt for | (he —privilage of being governed. Death comes only once and unlike taxes does not repeat the performance with increasing terrors. | But taxes come every year and sometimes oftener and with an increasing paralyzing effect. The tax collectors are like the undertakers, run- ning 2 constantly increasing bill. Shifting the burden on some one else has been a popular game to camouflage the issue. | Tax questions offer the politician one of the most! fertile fields of quackery and demagogy. It was found in Wisconsin that railroads were taxed .20 per cent of their net earnings. In the same state and in the same year manu- facturing concerns were taxed three per cent. Both added the tax to the cost of the service they} rendered to the people of Wisconsin. It is explained that three per cent of $100 valua- tion is no more than one per cent of $300. But it does not stop there. When the valuation aised the three per cent goes right on. In 1917 federal taxes on corporations were two billions more than in the year 1916. But the net income of those corporations, after paying two billion’ more tax, was the same. Taxes are either handed on to the consumer or they are taken out of the surplus funds. | The bigger the taxes the smaller the surplus and; ngs left in the hands of the people. Taxes should be levied with some intelligent rule} as to the ability of the citizen to pay. But taxation that eats up all the surplus of in-} dividuals or corporations is slow suicide. | The first thing to do about taxes is to reduce} them and then plenty will remain and will increase | Taxes are like weed seed—they spring up and multiply from scattering the tax money about. ———o- | What’s Your Idea? | yest WHAT SORT of immigrants would you like to see come to the United States?

PATRICK SU For¥ some reason or other every er who has taken his pen in hang for the past 26 years to chronicle th: © hero pi: tured above. has made some allusion his Irish extract'en. Why suc p'cion should be lodged in the minds of the writers we do not know. Surely, there is nothing in the per- sonal appearance, conversation, or t! name of Patrick Sullivan to Indic: Irish parentage. In discussing with him his boyhood life on the old farm stead in Norway and his early experi ences {n boating upon the fjords of hie native country, we assured him, {f occasion ever arose to deny in the pub Ne print the erroneous impression as his nationality, we would most certainty, do it.

Formerly his recreation was running the Wyoming state senate in exact parliamentary fashion. Now, he in- structs the Republican national com- mittee how to do the same thing and also win landslide victories. When occasion arises all other American flag wavers go to the rear and Patrick Sullivan comes to the front. He has been known to set polit- ical conventions wild with plain and ornamental patriotic perorations and bring tears to the statue of liberty in an apostrophe to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Ho possesses a broad streak of hu mor, which is unusual among the serlous Norsemen, from which he a: scended. Now, you have the best we can do to correct a long standing error that has crept into Wyoming history with reference to the natioMiity of Patrick Sullivan. If it isn’t convincing, it at least carries out the promise made to that we hoped some day to write a story about him‘ that did not say rick an Was born in the Id Isle.” We have accomplished that p-<pose, at least.
