Today’s Anniversaries eoccencearnnesee 1599—Anthony Van Dyke, Few taxes in themselves are high, but the multiplicity of taxes makes the tax bill | exorbitant. The average taxpayer wouldn’t complain so much if he could pay federal taxes or state taxes or local taxes, but when he has to pay all of them, and more | besides, there’s no wonder he grumbles. Take it from Professor Ray E. Un- tereiner, of the California Institute of Technology, who wrote “The Tax Racket,” there are 229,721 taxing bodies in the United States today. Think of it—229,721 tax collectors! Taxes are levied by one federal gov- 1 ae ernment, 48 states, 3,074 countries, 16,598 | 7. 4.22%. incorporated municipalities, and about . Nothing 200,000 special districts. But that isn’t the laasigraeed whole sad story; only the first chapter. | 4% ffBre""* Each taxing body imposes several taxes! So that instead of merely paying 229,721 taxes—which is quite a few taxes, by the way—we pay 229,721 multiplied by some- } thing or other. | This picture paints the average tax- payer as burdened almost as heavily as the motor vehicle. There are 27 varieties of | tax upon that mechanized tax beast x! burden. On the average, its owner pays for it over again in taxes every four years. If it enjoys normal longevity, seven years, he pays in taxes more than 186 per cent oe i its origina! f.o.b. e| In olden times this was the be-| j ginning of the year.

Well, that’s sumpin’. Key West, the Forgotten City, while a part OF the United States politically, though a part FROM it topographically, has the inherent right to be welded to the main body by the construction of the bridges—a consummation for which we hove pleaded in vain thus far.
