The Glory of Paying an Income Tax
A wartime call to duty urges Americans to pay income tax as a moral obligation, praising strong men and women who bear the burden. It describes the 1917–1918 tax thresholds, asserts Congress enacted a sweeping revenue law, and urges compliance as part of national service and liberty. It closes with dedication of The Literary Digest to the cause and a pledge to report income tax honestly.
