Jiut taking all these, and some other more or less direst payments you will still be n long way from knowing the total of your contributions to the expenses of government, It RI seldom the average citizen encounters the customs collector; and he Is only dimly c0usci:es of the operations of the sales tax, Yet from these two ecources the Govern- ment collects vast sums, which tax- payers hand out without a grumble because they are hardly aware that the price they pay for a wide vari- ety of ;goods conceal those indirect taxes. A -recent speech by Secretary Motgeuthau of the U. S. Cabinet has drawn attention to this subject and a newspaper egnmentator writes: -The painless feature is uut to help the taxpayer but to help law- makere who fear his resentment or tax wasters who fear his economy, Real kindness to the taxpayer we uld give hrm direct levies which he could see and feel, Real consider, abion ori the taxpayer would thus bete him to judge whether he was getting his money's worth in gov- ernment services. Hidden taxes lead millions to think they ars get- ting something for nothing. -To abandon many of the con- sumer taxes now levied by the Fed- eral Government and make up the loss of revenue by broadening the income tax base would as :fir. Mor- genthau says, apply "the principle of capacity to pay more Justly," The burden would be eased on mlllians of the poor who now pay consumers' taxes and transferred to those relatively better able to pay. Also those who 'paid would know it and might show more Interest in the way the money is spent, LT'S A GREAT FAIR The Reyat Winter it h• last we,:k opened as a Pie,' go,lure of int, r- natinnal goodwill by Hen.
