THE FOOL TAXPAYER
 An Illustrated Cartoon Lecture.



Mr. Regan has just completed a lecture trip of 807 days — two lectures a day — in which he visited every state in the Union and every large city in America.  He has had something to do in waking up the Taxpayer in the entire United States.




WHY ARE TAXES HIGH?




They are three times as high as need be.  They are 450% higher than they were in 1900.  As we increase in wealth the tax rate should go down or at least stand still.




DO YOU KNOW —




Why you pay taxes when other people do not?  Why your property is assessed and other property is exempt?  Why big people pay small taxes and little people pay big taxes?




Why not have a square deal and treat us all alike?  Why exempt the rich and tax the poor?




MR. REGAN IN HIS LECTURE TELLS YOU WHY!  ALSO HOW THEY DO IT.




He will tell you many things you think are impossible.  All his figures put on his drawing boards are from the highest legal authorities in the world.




THIS IS NO THEORY.  NO SOCIALISM.  NO SINGLE TAX.  Simply a statement of facts and a demand for a square deal.  Every man paying more than 1% tax is being robbed.  Not by the James Gang or Gun Men but by laws we pay for making, and by the dear boys we put in office and pay a salary.  It is time the taxpayers wake up.  They are waking up.




TAXES — The uppermost topic in America to-day.  Why not arrange for his lecture in your city and start out for real prosperity?  We can have better improvements and a lower tax rate when the taxpayers run the country instead of the tax dodgers, the slackers, the grafters, and the dead beats on the pay roll.






FIRST DAY

Famous Cartoonist and Chalk Talker


A WHIRLWIND OF FACTS AND ENTERTAINMENT


HON. FRANK S. REGAN ROCKFORD, ILL.




22 years on the Chautauqua platform.

Regan claims and proves taxes need not exceed one per cent.






WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY OF HIM



Regan, a lawyer and tax expert is known from coast to coast as a Chautauqua and Lyceum lecturer on taxation.—


Racine, Wisc., Times-Call.




The large audience was greatly impressed by the stirring address of Hon. Frank S. Regan on 
The Fool Taxpayer.
  Some of his cartoons and anecdotes provoked gales of merriment.—


The Globe, Hartford, Conn.




That the big crowd which thronged the First M. E. Church last night to hear Frank S. Regan deliver his lecture on 
The Fool Taxpayer,
 was not disappointed, was clearly apparent from frequent applause that greeted the speaker during the telling points of his 
chalk talk.
—


Everett (Wash.) Tribune.




Does it pay to talk sense?  Do audiences want to hear a lecture on an abstract subject?  Well, Hon. Frank S. Regan lectured every day, including Sundays, from June 10th to November 1st, on his favorite theme, 
The Fool Taxpayer.

He does not depend on cheap tricks to hold the attention of his audience.  I can most heartily recommend him as a platform lecturer.
