Ginseng is low growing hsrbaceous
plant, with a single stem about foot

AN INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAN.

The House ways and means commit
tee yesterday disposed Of the income tax
question by voting six TO five in favor Of
reporting a bill To tax individual in
dividual incomes. Thus the absurd prop
osition 10 tax the Incomes of corpora
lions and the almost equally objection.
able proposition to tax the incomes Of
inheritances and legacies have been set
at rest. IL We are TO have an income,
VII ch. by the way. is n of the most
odious forms of direct taxation and the
most fruitful in fraud-a tax on individ-
ual incomes is the only kind entitled to
a moments consideration. The proposed
tax on inheritances would yield a good
revenue in the course of time. but what
would be done in the ten or a dozen
states where it is already in existence:
The added federal tax would create
double taxation. To tax the incomes of
corporations ma have a pleasant sound
to those who Imagine that all the ills

rate capital. jut the incomes of the
widow and tn orphan. the mechanic and
the farmer. II church, the college and
the hospital are to be found in the in
ome Of corporate capital. To single
out ncome from that source would be
not only class legislation. but it would
often amount TO double taxation of the
poor.
1t is the purpose of the ways and
means committee, we believe, to place
the income tax limit at $1,000. One of
the beauties of this provision is that the
incomes of the president. his cabinet.
the justices Of the supreme court, the
judges Of the Cnired States circuit
courts. the representatives and senators
in congress and the first assistant in
every department will be taxable. The
collection Of the tax from federal Office
holders will be easy. for it will only be
necessary to deduct the amount Of the
tax from the pay check. Next to the
state and government officials. the sala-
ried men in private life will be the class
from which this tax will be most easily
collectible- The men Of large incomes
derived from speculation. m and
financial enterprise will dodge it as they
dodge the collection Of personal taxes
