securing honest returns from the peo-
pie upon whom it's incidence falls. It
has the merit, however, of bringing
under the notice of the federal assessor
a class whose contri butio to the cost
of the federal government is infnites-
imal in proportion to the benefits it
reaps from such government. Under
any other system the millionaire pays
scarcely any more toward the support
of the federal government than the
day laborer; and whatever may be the
difficulties in the way of compelling
him to bear, honestly and fairly, his
just proportion of the burden it is but
simple justice that he should bear it.
If the income tax tends to make him
bear it it is a step in the right direction,
even though because of the nature of
things and of taxpayers it falls short
of completeness.
The house passed the income tax law
by large majority; and it is not con-
ceivable that it will hesitate to make
the necessary appropriate tons to carry
it into effect. 1t is possible, of course,
that the senate may, by flibustering,
defeat the attempt of the house to per-
feet the act-the. country has learned
to expect almost anything from the
senate. But if the senate shall do this
it will add materially to the burden of
public disapproval under which it now
rests.-Detroit Free Press.
