U. S. Taxes Are Easy
Citizens who are prone to
complain about their income
tax and deplore the alleged
strain on- their pocketbooks,
will find much food for reflect
ion in a comparison of their
own tax with that of the Eng
lishman under the present Brit
ish schedule. Under the new
rates a married Englishman
who earns $5,000 annually
is compelled to pay an income
tax of approximately $527. or
in the close neighborhood of 10
per cent on his earnings. In
the United States a person of
the same earning capacity pays
only $5,G2, or a trifle over one
per cent of the amount the
Englishman is taxed on the
same income.
In truth the amount the aver
age American is taxed amounts ^
to little as compared to the I
total income, while to the Eng-;
lishman it is something to wor
ry about.
Remember this when the in
come tax is due next year.

Campaign Expenditures
It appears that the Senate'
committee appointed to investi
gate campaign expenses of
senatorial candidates will have
plenty of work to do this year,
with Illinois and Pennsylvania
holding the limelight as in for
mer years.
In her campaign for the re
publican nomination in Illinois
Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick
has reported expenses amount
ing to 5252,572. The Penn
cylvania contest between Jos
eph Giundy and James J. Dav
is is also expected to be at
tended by large expenditures, i
All this in the face of the fact
that Smith of Illinois and Vare
of Pennsylvania were denied
Senate seats because of what |
tjie Senate considered a too ]
i
free use of money in their be- \
half.
Smith, the records show,
spent, $458,782 and Vare spent
$780,000, but neither ap
proached the primary expendi
ture of $1,804,979 by Pepper
of Pennsylvania, who failed to
get even the nomination. It j
will be recalled that Newberry i
of Michigan resigned from -the
Senate some years ago after be- J
ing censured for spending
$195,000 to gain his seat. But
Mrs. McCormick’s outlay is by j
no means finished. She must '
now make her campaign for j
election in November, her dem
ocratic opponent being former
Senator James Hamilton Lew- i
is.
It has not been charged, so
far, that Mrs. McCormick made
any really improper use oi i
money during her campaign
The action of the investigating '
committee will probably hinge
upon the size and reasonable-1
ness of the expenditure, rather i:
than upon the method of mak- :'
ing it. That there will no plen- i
iy of criticism there can be no !
doubt.
Buying Pigs in a Poke
-. -. -
There is an old-time warning
to the effect that one should ;
never buy “a pig in a poke.” j .
But a lot of French people
have been doing something like
hat, or worse, according to a
press dispatch.
A concern called “French;;
Porkery, Limited,” put on a J
strong advertising campaign !'
for investors, with such slogans
as “Buy less stocks; they are '
paper. Buy more pigs; they 1
are meat.” “When your pig
grows up we sell him at the
very highest' price. In the j
meantime we pay you from 10 i
to 12 per cent interest.” c
Thousands bought pigs they t
had never seen, and for a time f
received their interest. Then
the sad news came to all invest
ors alike: “Your pigs have
died; we could not sell sick
pigs.” —
Then the investors-not the
piga-began to squeal. Promot
ers of the scheme will be tried
for swindling.
