Beglnnlngs Of the rnsoms FAX.

In 1877 q sstax uliheard of before" was
imposed by parliament, which took the
form Of o poll tax, graduated chiefly ac-
cording torank, though partly according
to property. Dukes had TO pay go lbs.
4d.; earls, "a; barons, 60; knights, e1;
squires, 6s. 3d., or, If they had no land,
8s. 4d. Beggars were exempt. Yet the
whole amount collected was under e25,.
600. The poll tax having failed, the
country reverted TO the previous system
Of granting fifteenths and tenths.
The first indication of an income tax
occurs in 1435, when an act was passed
imposing o tax on every person "seized
OF manors, lands, tenements, rents, an
nuities, Offices or any other possessions
But, although we have here the idea Of
income tax. yet this mode OF raising q
revenue is generally considered TO have
been introduced by Pitt in 1885,. The
rate was 10 per cent, and 1t produced
about e8,000. 900. After the peace Of
Amiens, Addington repealed it IN the
ground that It ought TO be exclusively
reserved for times of war, but reimposed
it, for the same reason, when the wal
