Income Tax.

The assessors have prepared a most remarka-
bic oath. which they require every man to make
in giving in his income statement. This oath is
Ito the effect that the statement shows the income
(which he has received. and to which he is in
lany manneS entitled, aud also, that he has not
received and Is not entitled to receive. from any
,or all sources of income together, any other sum

the part of some one in preparing this oath. Men
ARE not TO pay taxes on what they are entitled 20

insignificant force compared with the armies of
