SLEUTHING FOR TAXES. | §S THE annual time for the ancient and honorable rite of; swearing off taxes comes around again it is interesting to learn that the personal tax bureau has been keeping an) extra sharp eye out this year for juicy, taxable citizens, to the end | that their contributions to the taxroll may be made to correspond somewhere within a thousand miles to the amount of their actual belongings. The burean has waked up to the fact that the only methods | that accomplish anything nowadays are the inductive-psychological- | super-detective variety. So if you have an automobile with a num- | ber on it, or if your name is in the social directory and the corpora- | tion blue books, or if the newspapers have dropped hints of your) financial ten-strikes, legacies and what-not, you can be pretty suro your name is in the new card index from which the tax bureau com- piles its latest rolls. , By simply reasoning that people who show marked signs of pros- perity are worth looking up for taxation purposes the bureau has ndded $30,000,000 to its personal property assessments this year— | more than donble the increase of last year over the one preceding. Self-evident traisms of justice and common sense have a way of | becoming fat and sluggish for want of exercise. That the people who | ought to bear most taxing are those who have the biggest margin | of income over and above the ordinary needs of life is as plain ® primer. Yet the swearing off of taxes by those best nble to pay them is « joke so old that the public has become almost attached to it. If the tax burean has found new ways of tracking these shy and retiring hoarde to their laire—good for the tax bureau. | We can’t have too many of the best brains at work on our mighty problem of devising legitimate ways to get money out of the people who can pay and ought to pay, but just naturally won't. | ctiiasiacentintld dinates HOW LONG SHALL WE LIVE? E DIE TOO YOUNG,” says Dr. Wiley and scolds us for being content with an average life of forty-four years. | “There is historical evidence to show that man’s great- eat activities are developed with experience and that the age between | tixty and,seventy is more productive for one who has lived in accord | ance with nature. I would like to see more men and women wiih «ray hair and more wrinkled faces than I see to-day.” All right, Doctor. But where shall we stop? Most of the fun of being seventy nowadays is that it isn’t so blamed common, | and the experience and wisdom of a few of us at that age gives us the right to lord it over the crowd of young fellows. But if you set everybody living to three acore and ten, sages of seventy will | be as plentiful as huckleberries, and the only really wise and venerablo | will be a few sturdy old fellows of a hundred or so who can discount | | \ ' | er IRB 1 2 Pe MME EMO.
