Elbow-Room

CHAPTER X
19/20

Think of that, will you?
Why, we might have paganism raging all over this country, and we couldn't get a cent out of them.

I'd a put that Indian under 'graven images,' only they ain't mentioned, either.

I s'pose I could tax the bundle of wooden cigars in his fist as 'tobacco,' but that leaves out the rest of the figure; and he's not liable to poll-tax because he can't even vote.

Now, how would it strike you if I levied on him as an 'immigrant'?
He was made somewheres else than here, and he came here from there, consequently he's an immigrant.

That's my view.
