The Income Tax.

1t was not objected to the income tax
during the war that it WAS an unjust be-
cause an inequitable tax. 1t was not in
equitable, because it was levied upon
property, and large holders of property
naturally paid large taxes. The theory
was that the large owner had more prop
erty to be protected. This was true OF
property. but it is not true that the pro-
lection of property, although most i'm
portant function. is the chief duty OF
government. The defense Of life and lib
erty is quite as important Theoretically,
indeed. an income tax is very defensible.
and indirect taxation is very susceptible
of enormous abuse.
But that also is a strong objection to
an income tax. The experience of the
war was not such as to produce Il popular
demand for the continuance of the tax,
and the reasons were many and various.
One of them was it's inquisitorial char
acter, and free nations have always re-
PEELED public inquisition into the private
affairs of citizens. The issue OF writs CT
assistance. designed to enforce private
searches, led to the first great antirevolu-
tionary debate in the American colonies.
in which the elOQuence OF James Otls
aroused public sentiment and strength
ened colonial resistance to the crown.
Moreover. an income tax is practically
unjust because it is an unequal burden
upon the class which is compelled to pay
it. 1t can be just and equitable only Oh
condition of honest representations. and
the perjuries and falsehoods consequent
upon its enforcement are notorious. 1t is
a familiar saying. indeed. that alls fair
at the custom house. and that the oaths
there are much like dicers oaths. Dut
there is always the commodity on which
to Judge and levy.
In the case of the income tax, however.
there are oaths only to deal with. 1t
offers "A premium upon perjury. This
had an amusing effect in the war. when

kind so morally harmful. The question
is one of expediency. in which a cardinal
element is the natural preference for in

writtea for THE MORNING CALI.

1t is an anomalous fact that while so
much bother is being made about granting
autonomous government to Ireland in in
ternai affairs. subject to the sovereignty of
the British crown. there are two groups of
islands, one in the English Cham ell and the
other in the Irish Sea, which have as much
independent local government as any COM
munity could desire, being almost absolutely
left to themselves, enjoying freedom of
legislation and taxation after their own
approval.
These groups are the Channel Islands Of
Jersey. Guernsey, Attorney. Sark, Jethou
and Herm, and the Isle of Man. 1t may
appear a little far-fetched to describe the
Isle of Man as a grour, but besides the
principal island there is the Calf Of Man,
also inhabited, although mainly and most
usefully by sheep, which are remarkable
for fineness of fleece. As if To make the
anomaly more pronounced. the Isle oil Man,
or Mainland, lies within sight OF the north
western part of England, the south west
part of Scotland and the Ulster coast of
| Ireland. Furthermore, all the Channel
Islands lie within sight and indeed close to
the Normandy and Brittany coasts of
France, and are not within sight of the
coast Of England at all. Alderney, the
