While Congress is busy levying tax
es for War purposes it might attach
a1 amendment to the bill that would
t-'<f the big corporations from col
lecting the taxes they pay out of the
consumer. For instance if the Oi!
Companies are taxed, the next day gas
and oil advance, in prices, and some

oannot pass on its proportional part
of the war tax to the Individual to
pay.
