　　M：A friend of mine worked as a teacher in one of the states of India．One day, he received an invitation to dinner at the mler's palace．Verypleased, he went to tell his colleagues．They laughed, and told him the meaning of the invitation．Each person who was invited had to bring with him a certain number of silver and gold coins．The number of coins varied according to the person's position in the service of the govemment．Each person bowed before the ruler and presented his coins．In this way he paid his income tax for the year．This was a simple way of collecting income tax．The tax on property was also collected simply．The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area, if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money．Of course, the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler．
