The Income IUE.

Many Of the newspapers keep up
their clamor for the repeal OF the in
come tax, and denounce it in strong
terms. as, for instance, the Boston
Journal, pronounces it an "inguis.
itorial measure and says that in
vast majority Of cases the incC me
tax "means oppressive, veXatiouS
and unnecessary taxation Of the
necessaries of life This is, TO us.

is-true that this tax is an unneceS

of eases the law cNemptS Suli.

Income il above that sum. Now
what difference does it make with
the equity Of the measure, whether
a man boards up his taxable income
or spends 1t upon the luXulics and
supprtluties OF life If honestly
collected it is the most just and
equitable kind Of TAXATION taXiag
only the money of those who art
best able to pay towards the sup
port of the Government. We know
that the tax takes u nice little sum
ANNUALLY from the pockets OF th,
rich owners of the great city dailics
ANA OF course they think the tax is
oppressive. ana this may account
in part, for the opposition of tn,
city papers. We know there are
abuses and inequalities attending
the collection of this tax; but til,
same may he urged against an,
method OF raising money by taxa
