The Sticker is the ’getthere’ man. Stick. Everybody begihs—but not ail stick. Yesterday you failed, maybe, but today you can Win —if you stick It ouL All achievers wear a badge labelled ’STICK.’ You stick—today. When you feel like quitting —Stick! If the other fellow is getting the best of you—stick. He will if you don t. Stick. The great successes of business and life are but repetitions of the same story —the story of men who know HOW to Stick. You may not like your job. but think before you change it So few know HOW to stick. So few iearn WHEN to stick. So few care WHERE they stick. You think it out with patience. Then —whether it be a job or a task —stick it out. Stick. Today—start thinking and stick to each task until finished —completed in the best way you know how. Just stick." The state tax board's recommendation that Indiana should provide for an inheritance tax deserves the early and series attention of the legislature. The general reasons .u support of such a tax a-o cogent and obvious. Almost any one can cal) to mind concrete examples of estates that have escalled taxation because there is no inheritance tax. There have been discreet rich men in this and every Indiana city who have, by making 999year leases requiring all taxes and road improvements to be assumed by the lessee, put themselves beyond the reach of the tax gatherer. Only an Income tax would reach them, unless it could be that their leases could be made subject to taxation, when th* estates are transferred. This is only one of the most obscure phases of the questions raised by the state board Accumulations of money. In the earning of which the heirs bare had nothing to do, have been permitted and protected by the state. .Certainly the state sbou. 1 have some small share when the owner •asses wealth on to other hands —lndianapolis News.
