By FRANK JENKINS
"E of the troubles with this
modern world is that It is
filled with Ideas that are FALSE.
One of these is the idea that the
OTHER FELLOW pays the taxes.
HEAR a lot about govern
ment spending. But WE (per
haps) pay no Income tax. WE (per
haps) own no property, and so
pay no property tax.
So (perhaps) wo say to our
. selves: "Why Bhoulil we worry
about government spending? It
costs US nothing, because we pay
no taxes. 'it HELPS us, because in
our case everything is coming in
and nothing is going out."
That Is about as far from the
truth as anything could be.
LET us take the case of bread,
which everybody buys.
From the breaking of the ground
. for the wheat crop to the wrap
ping of the loaf and Its delivery
over the counter to you, a little
wore than FIFTY different taxes
go into the cost of producing bread.
By the time It gets to you, it Is
estimated by careful statisticians,
the TOTAL of these taxes amounts
to ubout TWO CENTS per loaf. .
YOU pay this two cents. You pay
It EVERY TIME you buy a loaf of
uread,;.,,, ; -,.t .: .
rvo YOU remember (or huve you
" "! heard your parents tell about)
the time when bread sold for "five
or six or seven cents per lonf ?
That was back in the days when
tuxes were LOW.
T'HIS two cents tax Included In
the cost of a loaf of broad Is a
combination of indirect taxes.
Every time you liny a 'package of
cigarettes, you pay SIX CENTS to
the government.
That is a direct tax.
fHE number, of articles on which
direct tuxes are levied Is too
long to print hern. But It Includes a
vast variety of things.
Among them are automobiles,
tires, cameras, games, club dues,
S chewing guin and cosmetics, elec
trical current, furs, firearms, radio
sets, mechanical refrigerators,
sporting goods, telephone and tele
graph messages, theatre tickets.
The- list la stuggcring in Its
length and every time you buy ony
of the articles Included on it you
pay a DIRECT tax.
A LL taxes federal, slato and lo-
m cat amount to about 20 per
cent of the national Income, which
