It was shortly after train time many
years ago and a large crowd was awaiting
distribution of the mail at the postoffice,
when the late Hunt Harris entered and

Who pays the tax bill?
Everyone—the day laborer and the
salaried employe and the millionaire.
Who pays the bulk of it?
The middle-income group—those who
earn just enough to adequately support
their families, educate their children, and
jPt a little away for, old age. In other
I words, the bulk of it is paid by the average
i American citizen. , ,
L Why don’t the very rich pay most of
| the tax bill? * . • XsTm i **"
Because they can’t—and here is one
of the greatest tax fallacies ever -per
petrated on the public. It’s easy to say
“tax the rich”—it’s' hard to find the rich
Ito tax. Even in boom times, they are rare
I fauna, and extortionate taxes upon their
incomes can pay for but a fraction of the
cost of government. In depression tiroes,
they become still rarer—and almost the
whole burden falls upon the ordinary citi
zen.
Who would benefit most from tax re
duction?
The reader can easily answer that.for
himself. Today about 25 per cent of the
national income goes to support govern
ment, federal, state and local. If you earn
$2,000 a year, you must pass approxi
mately SSOO of it to the tax collector. -IT
goes when you buy your groceries, drive
your car, pay your utility bill, take a train
trip, attend a movie, or eat a meal in a
restaurant. The cost of everything you
need and use, everything you buy, is partly
represented by taxes. Every tax must be
passed on to the consumer—manufacturers
and middlemen and retailers have no way
of proaucing money out of the air.
No matter what the tax, it is diffused
so rapidly all are hit by it.
READ BEFORE YOU SIGN
Officials and others who have the
habit of signing documents without read
ing them may take learning from what re
cently happened to Comrade Isakhanoy,
director of a Soviet government shoe fac
tory ia Tiflis.
A Russian periodical called The
Crocodile was waging a campaign against
inefficient officials, and its editors sus
pected that Isakhanoy was not sufficiently
diligent on his job. By some means it was
arranged to have a fake letter presented
to him for signature, along with routine
documents placed on his desk each day.
Isakhanoy fell into the trap, and this is
what he signed without reading it:
“Through some misunderstanding I
was promoted to the post of factory direc
tor. I seldom go to the workshops. Ido
everything I should not do, and do not
what I should. lam a fool. Everybody
knows that and I inform you as well. I
am ready to sign any paper without read
ing it. lam proving this to you herewith.
(Signed) G. Isakhanoy.”
The Crocodile published the letter*
and razzed the unlucky shoe factory head
so unmercifully that it is said he will be
forced out of his job and Melted out of the
Communist party as well.
Moral: Don’t sign anything before
reading it—and seldom sign it afterward.
TIME TO THINK
- .
The procession of days revolves into
another year and people in Key West join
with other human beings in taking ad
vantage of the calendar’s termination of
1934 to pause in life’s tasks to take stock
of the future, especially as they imagine
1935 will affect them.
It is a good thing for an individual to
pause in the midst of ordinary cares and
worries and try to understand what p gp-.
ing on, both insofar as the person ii con
cerned and, also, in relation to fother
events. Human beings, as a race, |know
very little about themselves and less kb out
j external conditions and happenings and
their own relationship to a changing and
diversified environment.
It Is easy, you know, for men and
women to bury themselves in the prosaic,
but necessary, tasks of life. The obliga
tions of existence are necessary and not to i
be ignored for one seeking satisfactory
living. However, human life offers other !
for exploration and discovery- The !
men and women who lift themselves out of
the mob are those who possess the ability
to enter this wider field of human activity,
i whatever theit Accoipljsiuß*Jita nay be.

Crowds now arriving in Key

boat or train and the outlook for j
a busy season is very encouragia?/.
There were* mere than 400 p*s- i

and are Chba-bound, but several j

shortly after New Year’s Day, in!
an effort to bring to the atten

between Key W-?st and the main

committees to give the matter as

1 KepbHs coming In by fishermen
are to the effect that fishing is
exceptionally good this time of the
year. Tourists are daily going
out for handline or rod and reel
angling, and making large catches
of all kinds. Those who fish for
their living have been forced on
a number of occasions to change
drops because of the gerat num
ber of amberjack found. There
is not a good market for these fish
at thU time. But those fishing
for sport are having a great time
and catching some of the finest
fish ever brought in.
Captain John J. Maher, U. S. A.,
commanding officer at the bar

who used to enjoy bowling and
Captain Maher hopes to awakep
renewed interest among the citi

Are they prepared? Not “wto*

this sense, children constitute tbs
raw material of an ever-renewing

mill we have invented for fashion

standing parents, good neighbors,
honest citizens, and willing work
ers. Our job is to turn out a test

generation.
And when we come to examine
the essentials and to sail “just

health; fitness for work, play, and

Athletic Club last night drew a
large crowd of basketball fans.
The two games provided thrills
galore. In the first game the

second game resulted in victory

over the Florida boys by a score
of 21 to 11.
The train this morning arrived

Robert F. Spottswood continues
to hold the lowest score among the
