On this beautiful sun-kissed September morn' as I sit writing th'e check for the third installment on my income tax, it is "one sweetly solemn thought" that I, and every other income tax payer however small, have become a world-wide benefactor' ,,< * :r

And, as I think it over, I lean back and close my eyes and think how wonderful it feels to be so wholesale a philanthropist.

Twenty years ago *rr.rJ I ,"rU -, income tax there was little in the act to warm the heart, stimulate the mentality, or thrill the soul. ***

All I was doing then was paying my share of the cost of running the very economical Government of the United States. Nothing broad or world-shaking about it then. *** millions of sets of new false teeth now in use in England, financed by American money via the British health system. Now, when we fail to send as much aid to England as they keep asking for, they can REALLY gnash their teeth at us. We've furnished the teeth ! Isn't there a "sweetly solemn thought" there?

But today ! Ah, Junior ! Today it is di,fferent ! Today I am codtributing to the support, in some fashion or other, of probably two thirds of all the people in the whole dadblamed world.

And my little tax rnoney is financing that dear, sweet Socialist government in England, which keeps edging nearer to that delightful Communism that I admire so much. A "wild and vicious" bunch of Socialists, a well known writer calls it. But I have decided to be both sweet and solemn in this particular story I am writing, so I refuse to go along with such declarations, regardless of my true sentiments' * * ,*

Like I said, Junior, I can't begin to tell you even a small part of what goes on with my tax money. I can only touch on a few of the spots that seem to interest me the most. Take Maine, for example (although to tell the truth, I wouldn't take Maine even {or*thao.

Add together all the people and all the peoples that my income tax money reaches in some fashion, and it runs up to something like a billion and one-half humans. I SHOULD be proud, should I not, Junior, at having become so wide-spread a benefactor of the human race? **!t

The fact that this distribution of the money for which I my own might few of). An all-

Some of the things I have heard about what is being done with my money in Europe would make great stories, Junior, but with space so limited I think I'll stay closer to home for this piece. So, like I said, let's take Maine. I've really got the thing backwards, because the fact is that it's Maine that's taking us. Let me elucidate (a nine letter word meaning explain. Why don't I just say explain, then? Don't be fresh, Junior. Long words are an editor's privilege; and privileges are things editors have hustled and sweated in my old age is NOT of choosing, changes the situation not in the least. wise administration that has seen fit to set aside most of the Providential laws that Americans followed for many generations, has made me my brother's keeper. And everyone else's, besides.

It would be utterly and absolutely impossible for me to attempt to print within the limits of this story-or of this entire magazine for that matter-all the things that are being done with this modest income money I am sending in, or all the countless places where it will be used.

To all the continents my tax money goes, and to most of the people in all those continents. I'll admit that my contribution-and yours-is spread out mighty thin by the time it arrives at its end-use; but it gets there just the same'

For instance, an American writer over there tells of the

One of an editor's few privileges is the right to refer to himself as "\,ve" in his writings. Only two other men have that right, a king, and a man with a tapeworm. You say you've heard me pull that one before, Junior? All right' so f've pulled it before. But I'm still going to talk about Maine, just like I started to. *

There is an old saying, famous in American politics, that "as Maine goes, so goes the nation." I don't know whether that alleged leadership of Maine has anything to do with the way they've been spending my income tax money in that tiny, one-horse state, but it could be, it could well be'
