By Neal R. O'Hara Copyright, 190, BY The Press Publishing Coe (fhe New York ing World) ' C;: Y that can figure his income tax is now a mathematician. Figures don't lie maybe, but they can streich the truth backward, which helps. This y r we're still splitting earnings with the Govern- ment, The more you get the more you give, It’s tougher now to be a millionaire than it ever was before, And it's still plenty tough NOT to be a millionaire Everybody that makes $2,000 a year is taxable, so only the poets es- cape. A guy can stlll plead exemption, but it’s harder than ever to avoid making out a draft. But the birds that wéke up front pleading exemption two years ago are the san boys that plead exemption now, The trenches and taxes are all the same to a guy with a yellow. stfeak Sherman forgot to mention what peace is, But it don't even take a bookkeeper to figure that peace is ax expensive as What Mr. Sherman said war was. The Government still figures we should give till it hurts, and it has provided the income tax to help us to do it. ‘The dove of peace is a preity creature, but the goose that lays our gold supply is still thead in the Bird League, The more we pay TZRCer}n our income tax, the more we believe the war should bave been fought C. 0, D,, instead of om * the instalment plan, What the guys in Burope say about us is true—we got into the war awful late. But so far as the naked pocketbook can see, we butted in just in time to pay the bills, The overhead expense hasn't started to volplane yet If the Government had only made us dig ten years ago the way it’s got as digging now, we'd have finished the Panama Canal a whole lot quicker. Those were the days, ten years ago, when a $100 bill would pay for clothes and groceries instead of baying = pork chop. As things stand now, the guy om the Victory Loan poster that says he'll tinish the Job iy still digging. And tt looks like the artist will have to paint him a new pair of overalls before he can finish the job. Income tax makes this the best season the pawnshops ever enjoyed. It's pretty soft for the Uncles, including Uncle Sam. In the old days in Battling Europe the sign of victory was a cross that appeared in the sky. But wars aren't won that way any more, You've got to raise the dough to win a war these days. The “in hoc signo” of the twentieth century is three gold balls that appear in the air. Prosperity no longer depends upon your income. Now it's poverty that depends upon your income tax. All men were created free and equal, but none of us are taxed free, and few of us are taxed equal. ‘The income tax even hits J. P. Morgan below the money belt. Somebedy's got to pay for running the Government,’ and the Govern- ment’s decided it’s US! If the Goy. makes a mistake, the mistake is on us. If the Gov, dvops $60,000,000 running the railroads, we pay, the freight. The Government's a great little thing. It dopes out an mcome tax for us $5,000 guys which is very fine indeed. Government simply takes 4 per cent. from us and gives us back 2.75. % ' Prohibition has been a great help to our little democracy too, Congress slipped over the Wartime Pro Act and then commenced to spend money like water, Prohib has cost us #6 a head—only none of ns has got a head. But when everything fails, Congress is still game for taxing us some more, Government is now getting excess taxes to make up for excise taxes it lost, It’s an ill wind that blows no foam off the Bevo. Before they cooked up the income tax the Government used to split three ways-of the people, bythe people, for the people, But no more. The Gov. splits only one way now—and that's as near 50-50 as pos- sible. It’s hard, we'll admit, to pay income tax with one hand and fight off the H. C, L. with the other, but what else are you going to do? Guy that pays his tax may be hard pinched, but he's also pinched if he DON'T pay it. The Govern- ment offers just one alternative—you can pay the income tax in four instalments or go to jail in one instalment, ‘The District Attorney may find it hard to jail a yegg for breaking a safe, but the Gov ernment can get him easy for ducking his in- come tax, And a detective can make clever|% deductions anywhere—but not on his income Wa blank. So how has an honest man got a chance? When the income tax is reduced to one-half of 1 per cent. there'll be no Kick to ft. But until then the infernal revenue collector will continue to be an income taxi- dermist. Which is a guy that skins you alive, i TWO MINUTES OF OPTIMISM) By Herman J.
