Dooley and Potash Discuss
Income Taxes and Babies
“Say what you please, Dooley,” said
Potash, one morning. “these fellers
which are figuring out the income
taxes are very smart. They remove
the tax on luxuries and give yon a big
ger discount for each baby. That’s
consistency for you, Dooley. In these
times if a baby ain’t a luxury, what is
it, Dooley?”
“ ’Tis an accident nine limes out of
tin,” said Dooley. “But ’tis not a lux
ury, Potash. A baby always gives ye
more than ye bargained for, and that’s
something no luxury doe3. Only last
night Mrs. Dooley was savin’—”
“I have only a few minutes to spend,
Dooley, and better we should not begin

with the remarks of Mrs. Dooley. The
iueome tax is giving us doubie the al

times so much would .hardly 1x3 sutli

diphtheria is oDly half ©f what most of

Potash. ’Tis the inspictions and the
weighin’ and the measurin’ an’ the
clothes to buy. In my day the old
woman used to give us a lick an’send
us off. Nowadays Mrs. Dooley has to
be up at six jist to prepare the charts
and certificates.*’
“You’re right, Dooley. A baby is
not a luxury.. It is a business with new
liabilities and new assets every day:’
“And if the,boss doesn't give it his
constant attintion it is sure to be a
failure.” said Dooley.—American Med
