The propriety of publishing the in
come lists is amply proven by the re.
suit which has been effected by the re-
cent publication in the New York Tri-
bune. The publicity given to the
sworn statements has shown how ridic-
ulously small incomes some very promi-
nent and pretended rich men managed to
live on, so that many of them felt com
PEELED to explain the matter, or else
hastily hunted up a complaisant asses
sor and put in a new return. 1t is
claimed that the Tribune has saved the
government already one hundred thou,
sand dollars, and the prospect is good
for more, especially as new assess
ment has been ordered. There is no
one branch of cheating which comes
more easily to some peoples conscience
than evading payment Of the taxes,
Cheating on this wise becomes invested
with the character of virtue, and men
who would scorn to defraud an indi
yidual of penny, deliberately swindle
the government of hundreds OF dollars
of its just dues and think it is justifia-
BILE smartncss.
A great deal is said about the income
tax, and strong effort will soon be
made to have it repealed. But it is
quite certain that none of our taxes
bear more justly and evenly on all
citizens than this will if honestly
levied. 1t is tax paid on actual pro-
fit, and SO only those pay who have
made the money with which to pay.
And it is the only tax which bears
equally upon the poor and the rich, at
least as far as any taxes can bear equal
ly on rich and poor. A mans tax is
proportional to the profits of his Ia
Dor investments. Those who pay the
highest incomes are those who make
the most money. To them the burden
of paying this tax is very light compar-
ed with other taxes.
