Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 March 1916 — The Circulation of Money. [ARTICLE]

The Circulation of Money.

A man made $25 of loose, surplus, unearned increment by putting poor quality in. a case of soldiers’ shoes he shipped abroad. As he had lots more money, made the same way, he gave the $25 to a head waiter to reserve a table for New Year's eve. The head waiter gave the $25 to his wife, who handled his finances, and she used $24.95 of it to pay the head waiter’s income tax. The income tax will be devoted to supporting a navy to stand off some country that doesn’t like ~us any more because we made poor shoes for its soldiers. As for the odd nickel, that is still in escrow, as it were, and will be thus for another generation or two, when the son of the head waiter will throw it to the grandson of the shoe manufacturer as a start toward a night’s lodging. Money always goes somewhere.— New York Mail.
