NEWSPAPER OPINION.
An Income Tax.

Plttsbury Post.
A good many American citizens are
asking themselves why not an income
tax, II it becomes n financial necessity
to prove new sources of revenue, rather
than a tax on the consumption of tea,
coffee. or sugar, which seems to be the
alternative. tax on these articles
after they have been so long on the free
list, would be very unpopular, and
would be ineXpedient from party point
of view. 1t is said an income tax is
odious and unpopular We are not so
sure about that. Mr.. Gladstone says
the income tax is the most popular tax
levied in Great Britain. Ii contributes
about $40 100000 year TO the
revenues. It is only levied on incomes
IN excess Of $3.50 year IL is now I'D
on the pound sterling Il is also
alleged against an income tax that there
would be evasions and cheating under It.
The honest people would pay the tax,
while the dishonest cnes would shirk IT,.
This holds good as to any tax There
would be few taxes paid If there was not
some sort of a compulsion in reserve II
is not giving the we'll TO do citizens
possessed of taxable incomes very
good character to allege that as class
they will swindle the government Of its
honest dues That style of argument
should be reserved for the Anarchists.
Again, it is contended that the tax as
proposed in this country on incomes in
excess of So coo year is unfair in its
discrimination, because Il would exempt
the wage workers and small farmers and
merchants Is it not just to measure
the taxation by the amount of the prop
erty 10 be taxed2 That seems TO be the
correct principle Most If not all our
taxes are on consumption, which I'm this
respect discriminates against the poor
man. lt is within the knowledge of
almost every one, the inequalities that
result from this system of taxation A
poor man with large family pays more
TO support the government than the rich
bachelor or other single person possessed
Of large estate This follows from a
tax on consumption There is no tax so
equitable as a tax on incomes If it is
necessary to raise 5000, 900, 600 year
to pay pensions and open the
way to needed tariff reductions,
no method Of taxation can be de.
vised so Just and equitable as an income
tax. Hon. David A. Wells, when com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, and
charged with the collection of the income
tax Of the war period, pointed out that
in 1868 the income tax was paid by
$50. coo persons out of a population OF
40, 900, COO Allowing for the families OF
these persons, the tax affected only
1 600, 000 while there remained 80, GOO, 00C
who were not affected. Probably the
proportions would now hold good as tC
m income tax imposed on incomes in ex
cess OF s., 600 year. That bears on the
question Of the popularity Of an income
tax. asIfewpersons fail 10 recognize thu

cable dispatch from Berlin, which we
print TO day, says that the Centre party
has issued a program which binds the
party TO vote against the military
measure. Not many days ago the lead
ers decided that It would be best to
permit the members 10 vote as each one
pleased and with this understanding
the party was to 60 20 the polls.
In consequence of the change Of
policy in the Catholic party it is now
reasonably certain that the next Reich
stag will reject the bill This power

now say that the Pope has interfered, bui
not in the way the Kaiser wished.
