THE INC0ME WAX.

One of the wIsest provisions of the
Wilson bill is that which imposes a
two per cent. tax upon incomes of over
$4,000. The provision is equitable
and democratic, and few valid Obiec-
tionS II be given to its passage. The
bill provides that the incomes up to
81 900 per annum shall not be taxed,
and that the nominal tax of two per
cent. shall be collected upon the eX-
cess. The leading objection offered by
the republican press is that sit puts Il
premium upon perjury, and cannot be
collected because men will lie out of
it," To give this n hearing we would
be compelled to admit that the men
whose business qualifications command
such Incomes are totally unreliable /;
that they are men who for the sake of
a few paltry dollars would swear away
their honor; that they are liars, knaves
and hypocrites in whose oath no de-
pendence could be placed. Then again
we hear that sit is Il war tax In the
sense that it is levied to pay wal pen

The Difference.
the Editor of the lntelligcnrcr

To the Editor of the Intelligenrcr:
Every ten years, at present price paid
for water and gas, 1t costs the city
500 900, and we are no better off at
the expiration of the ten years, eek
cept the service rendered. than we
were ut the commencement of the ten
years. With that amount we could
buy the present works or build others
equally as good, cor an electric light
plant i'm place of gas" Furnish our
citizens for one fourth less the service
rendered, say a saving of $50, 900 in
ten years; and at the termination Of
fifteen years own plant or plants. Or
an Approximate difference in fifteen
years saved of S9G, 900, besides the
value of the plant. The plant would
not alone prove self-sustaining, but
earn at least from five to seven thou
sand dollars a year ovcr cost of run-
ming, which put into a sinking fund
would pay interest and liquidate the
debt created to buy or build the plants
in the end. | write tins from the fact
that gas and electric lights are now
being agitated. Let us consider all
sides of this question.
The tendency of the time leads tc-
ward cities running and operating
their own Water, Gas or Electrict
Plants, and undoubtedly it is TO their
interest that they do. The objection
TO their doing so is overcome by the
great advantages derived from such
ownership. Money saved to both city
and citizens, and greater service rem
dered. G.. Ben.

BRYAN TALKS

The clear headed Bryan made a
speech in the house the other day, in
which he gave his attention TO the in
come tax. Among other things he
said:
'sThe people of the United States
who have small incomes pay on an
average more than ten per cent. of
their incomes to support the Federal
government, while the rich pay a
smaller per cent. Why should not
this tax be added in order that the
burdens may be partially equalized
II is objected that this tax will en-
danger the tariff bill. | am not afraid
that any democratic member will re-
fuse to relieve the common people OF
the heavy burdens placed on them by
the Mckinley bill for fear he will i'm
pose a light burden by means of an
income tax upon those who are amply
able to bear it. ] protest against the
%perversion of language which we have
witnessed in this chamber.
'sThey tell us that those who make
the load heavier upon those least able
to bear it are distributing the burdens
of government with impartial hands,
but those who insist that each citizen
should pay in proportion to his wealth
are blinded by prejudice against the
rich. They call that man a statesman
whose a is tuned to catch the slight
est p~ulsation of a pockctbook and
denounce as a demagogue the man who
dares to feel the heart beat of humani-
ty. Ward McAllister, the leader Of
New York's four hundred, said the
other day that the income tax if
adopted will compel many of the best
people of New York to live abroad,
where living is cheaper.
'.But while there where will they
stayP England taxes incomes more
than two per cent. Prussia as high rs
four per cent, Switzerland as high as
eight per cent, India as high rs twalra

Democracy achieved a grand victory
last Thursday. Congress passed the
Wilson bill by a vote of 2O4 to 14O.
Many of the democrats who opposed
certain clauses in the bill voted straight,
and it went through by a majority OF
GA. This is democracy. This is what
the democrats were authorized by the
people to do. The house has done all
that was in its power. The senate must
follow their example. There is no need
for debate. The people demand tariff
reform and the senate must heed their
decree. The cry ''vote" goes up from
every section. Let the senate moi delay
but do its democratic duty.
