,_S00d is in all evil and some evil --
. in all good. No American can be _
F particularly proud of the pic
L ture on the right, showing Uncle -
, Sam squeezing out profits from
dootleggers, racketeers and other
-eriminals.
That this Government should
iy interest itself in eriminals and
hunt them’ down with “G-men”
ONLY when those criminals have
failed to pay income tax, divid-
ing their criminal earnings with |
‘Uncle Sani, seems unbelievable.
You see the good is mixed
with evil, when told that law
forbids Uncle Sam to interfere
with criminals within State limits
unless such criminals owe hi
money. When they do owe him
money it is possible for the Gov-
ernment’s long arm to reach out
and gather in delinquent taxpay-
ers wherever they are found.
Such reaching out put the arch-
criminal, Capone, in a cell, deep
down in k of Alcatraz S
Priton. This makes it possible “7 ILLEGAL’
ou] the Government to hunt & 55S
radketeere in any city where z VBA Sa ere
