There" once was a day when, i£ you heard the word "tax," you thought of a small box full of Wttle demi-tasse nails which bit you when you tried to pull one out to mend the window shade. Now when anyone asks If you have some a tacks In the house, you rush for the desk drawer and pull out « handful of final notices. Of cQurse, these only represent the sort of taxes which come to visit you Jn the home, and range In size from the big, burly Federal Income Tax Return counterpain, down to the llttlo Itsy-bitsy two-dollar poll-tax. Just why I should ever receive the latter, I have never understood. I'oll-tax indeed, when I've never even priced -a parrot, much less kept one. I pay my dog tax, though. They call it a license, of course, but It's a tax on my pocketbook no matter what they call it. I suppose the tax on s h o e s i s t h e r e a l d o g t a x . . . o h well, that one t» at least my own; pooV thing! The- first fast one the government put over on us in a big way, was that Intelligence test, the income tax, and what a crossword puzzle thai turned out to be! At first it wasn't so ular, but how the fifteenth of rch has become the fixed date for annual Munchausen contest, and Everybody goes at it In a spirit of catch-as-catch-can and rather likes it. "They say "it's fun to be fooled", but •it's even more'fun trying ro foril the Collector of Eternal Revenue. The states, many of them being a lot of old copy-cats, got out a second edition of the above mentioned. The State Incopie Tax may be a state affair ;but it Is Also tjhat in the plural--a state of affairs:--and if you don't believe me, just wait until you have to pay yours this year! The whole country is now like midtown New York at midday: taxis, taxis everywhere and you can't make a move in any direction without run ning into 'em. 6f course the gas tax is a good thing In a way because lt.\keeps a .. lot of people in their homes. But it's shame it don't apply on the floor of .vtl'e house of representatives. -While as for this sales ijt they have , got In a few states such as California and New York, well, it's funny how people are. When the government al-. lowed that 2% per cent beer was legal, the folks kicked because it wasn't strong enough. But a 2 per cent sales tax is so strong they claim it . knocks 'em for a headache. Oh well, it takes all kinds ot people to make a world and then what hjjve you got? The beauty who is getting all the att'ention Just now is the Inheritance tax. Around where I live, they^caTT" it the New Inheritance Tax. Well, 1 must say that years ago," all I Inherited from my Uncle Bill was a lot of taxes, so-if they think inherftapce taxes are something new, they are - goofy! I f^dniit there was a farm attached-- quite heavily attached--to the - taxes Uncle left m«v but jt was so well 'snowed" under that by the time I dug off the last" line. I had to slap If back again to keep the roof from caving in from age. If the inheritance tax goes far enough, we won't- even b» sure of our own tombstones. Ah well, taxes never come single in id. 'y - , - newspaper cartoonists. With the rest of the popiilation they have given rise . to a lot of prejudice. Why, my broth- , #r, for instance, don't like to be • . iknown ">8 a. taxi-driver, because he's ,i , tpite of all Henry George said. The . ^'yfinlv people they really help-are the afraid people will think he's a revenue " man. Now I am not narrow-minded or unpatriotic about this tax In the Dutch East Indies many seamen believe that if they are destined to die in the sea nothing can be done to stave it off. For one thing, there Is the immemorial belief that, certain man-killing sea animals, once they dislike a man, mark him for deatb and trail him all their lives; Mrs. Abbie Martin and son, Clinton, ton, left last week for.Belleview, Fla., where Mrs. Martin wi}l Temstin t6r the winter. p I realize the poor starving politicians cannot be allowed to go on lief. Probably their homes would have no sense of relief at all if they stayed home all day. Also I am perfectly well aware that the office holders have a short season of it, evlfll four years isn't much, so naturally they have to provide for their lean years while they can, or some day they might have to go to work. I know, too, that the Government Machinery has to be supported although why it can't come down to earth instead, is beyond, me. Oh heck, what I mean is, I know that taxes are necessary for the Public Weal. Or mnybe^ it's the Public Veal--you know, kill-, ing the fat-head calf. Aw, pepper-' mints; I'll quit trying to be highhat about it and admit that all I know is you've got to pay 'em or else-- So as long as taxes have got to be paid, why not make them popular? Nobody minds giving up their dough for something which gives them a thrill--why, they will even give op other people's do'ugh for that. So In my simple feminine fashion, I propose that we quit taxing necessary things and tax according to wh.it is known as the Piitnrfm Flan. To begin with, ttyis plan would take the tax off of theater tickets and put it on to wives who take singing lessons at home, Don't cheer, boys, this won't stop them. - The- plan says further that there' shall be a tax on every spectator at all sensational divorce or murder trials. All malicious gossip shall be taxed at a rate of 20 per cent of the Income of the gbssiper. And a tax of 5 per cent of the gross income of the gosslpee. All smoking room stories over one year old shall be taxed at the rate of 50 cents per repetition. With a taxcollector stationed at every cocktail party this source alone should bring the treasury ample funds with whichto finance all of the President's ap-. propriations and leave enough over for a bromo seltzer. Practical jokeg shall be taxed on a sliding scale. That gives me an idea! Can you just picture a fat woman stepping onto a. sliding scale? Huh! So you won't laugh, eh? Oh well, what do I care? But this is a. rich idea, this taking practical jokes. And what I really started out to say was, the jokes would be taxed in proportion to their cleverness and originality.

The list of properly taxable things' could go on practically endlessly, be*,, ginning-with visits from mothers-in-law and ending with buttered parsnips, and such a tax list, far from making Mr. Taxpayer, the Forgotten Man and Mir. Average Citizen feel even more gloomy, than they look from their pictures In th^ papers--well, far from making] them feel oppressed, .It would have them practically laughing out loud. Nobody could object to seeing a guy pay a tax on a stale egg, or shell out . ten bucks to the government for hav-:: ing said "Olive Oil" or >Abyssihia*j/ as farewell to a pal. In fact, this Perfect Putnam Plan if carried out properly, might even result in"-the happy populace' digging up the' tax money for their taxed brethren voluntarily, with song and d^nce,, instead of giving the government a song and dance about not being able to pay at all, the way a lot of them do now. But all this depends on my plan be- Ins carried out, and I don't first, either. #:Nftw.*nicoi Putnam--WNU In Advance Cla»» "I thought you finish respondence school" edu '• • / A-;-< "I did.
