TUESDAY. MARCH 22. 1921. WASTE IX INCOME TAX , Everybody who has an income tax to pay has an opinion of the thing that is scarcely lit to print, not so much because of the cost as because of the complicated and intricate blank he has to fill out. Most ct us are willing to pay our share of the expense of government, but we hate io much red tape and complexity Babson, the statistician, has stated his opinion of the thing in language that can be printed. If you agree with him write to the Oregon dele gation in congress and tell them what you think about it. Mr. Bab son says: "People little realize what the in come and other federal taxes are do ing to kill prosperity and enterprise. "The bank clearings, building per mits. and other figures now coming out for the two weeks preceding March 15 (when the federal tax statements were due) indicate that the time which 5.000,000 people have given simply to preparing these reports resulted in a loss of abou 11,000,000,000 in sales. $550,000.- 000 in manufacturing, and $500, 000,000 in other lines. If we add to these figures the time of bookkeep ers, accountants, government tax of ficials, collectors, and inspectors whose work ts wholly unproductive and who from the economist's point of view are simply parasites on the country, we have far greater losses. "But some say: "Think of the $4,000,000,000 which the government will be able to spend this year.' This is where we are all being fooled. If the making out of these returns and the collecting of the money did not cost one cent, the country would not be any better off. The whole proc ess is simply the "robbing of Peter to pay Paul," and the 'robbing' costs the American people about $2,000,000,- 000 a year in actual cash. Add to this the psychological effect upon men of enterprise (I refer to the re tarding, the dampening effect of this whole tax business on the ambitions and efforts of the men who play and promote great enterpriser; the men who really make prosperity) and the losses above indicated must be multi plied many fold. 'I believe in an income tax and know that Commissioner of Internal Keren ue Williams and his entire staff have bandied a most difficult problem in a most efficient and Im partial manner. The American peo ple, however, should not fool them selves as to what a drag our present, tax system is on prosperity." RipplirigRhijniQS The burning questions now are, when will Reed start paving and Mayor Gilson begin on his water system? CAM. OP THE PAST I heard a broncho "whlnney" from the street a while ago. As he wnndered 'tween the bulld- InBS on pavement down below, Through the windows of my office came the sound both loud and clear. And it moved me as a song would. some old song I used to hear. And I looked up from my writing to the smoky city skies And a misty, hazy vision seemed to form before my eyes Of a broncho, tired and weary, trail cattle through the brakes In the old days on the Klamath, when I rode along the lakes. Every time I hear a "whlnney" above the city's rambling roar, It brines back the recollections of the days'that are no more, When my kit was in my pocket and I didn't have a cent And the wages of my "wrangling" slowly came and swiftly went, When my body was of rubber and of hickory and steel And Z knew the way to labor and to put away a meal, For I didn't live on "health foods," such at wheat and barley flakes The Whale The other day I saw a whale, the first my old eyes ever viewed; it frolicked in the waters pale, and made me think I must be stewed. For I was gazing out to sea, my mind concerned with fancies light, a book of verses on my knee, and not pre pared for such a sight. It seemed a gay and happy ' fish, a very optimistic whale, and made the water go kerswish, whene'er it flapped its giant tail. An ancient seaman at my side looked on, with trouble on his brow; "The whales are getting scarce," he cried, "we do not often see them now. The whale you see may be the last, where countless thousands used to lurk; they're killing off the poor things fast machinery now does the work. The risky life seemed good to me when I fought whales, in bygone years, but now they butcher whales at sea as K. C. packers butcher steers. The good old monsters of the deep don't have a chance to keep their goats; the harvesters go forth to reap the whales as farmers harvest oats. They used to haunt this sunny coast, you'd see them any winter day; but they have yielded up the ghost, they're killed and canned and shipped away." And still the whale seemed void of care, from every dread and trouble free; it stood on end and leaped in air, and gamboled in a silver sea. Lucky Strike cigarette Its toasted As I rode the shifty "mustang" on I the shores of Klamath lakes I That "whinney" comes to mock me like a specter dark and cold. For my "mustang's" bones are rot ting and I guess I'm growing old. Once my kit was in my pocket now I travel with a trunk Full of B. V. D.'s and night gowns and a lot of useless junk. Now I couldn't "bnst a broncho." swing a rope, or set a "hob" For I'm soft and fat and flabby, and I couldn't hold the Job. Yet that "whinney" stirs and thrills - me. and my heart is aches and aches For the glass-eyed, crop-eared bron cho, that I rode along the lakes. Lake County Examiner. Bums' Feature Were Coarse.
