Conarressmau Sperry Declares the Income
Tax More Than Inquisitorial-
WAsHrNeroN, Jan. 20-The opponents
of the income tax have been stirred to
renewed activity by the digest of the
measure AS given in the Associated Press
DISPATCHES. Ii was the first time they had
seen the detailed method proposed for
levyimg the tax.
who Is one of the most active opponents
of the bill. points out some Of the main
objections to the income tax plan as
proposed He says that the committee
has in no way overcome the OBJ
lection that an income tax Is lnQuisl-
tarial They do not pry into the incomes
of citizens. but leave it for the citizens
having am income of over $500 to vol
UNFAIRLY make report as To whether his
income exceeds $4,000. Nr. operry says
that this voluntary proposition gives no
protection To the citizen The govern
ment assessors viii select such citizens
who have not made a voluntary state
ment and VIII pry into their affairs. Mr.
6perry Says also that voluntary system
"puis a premium ON liars
AIr Sperry points out that It VIII be
absolutely impossible for business men %
make u voluntary statement as to the
amount If their incomes. He cites AIN
actual ease which has come TO his atten-
ti0n sc q man who has used large stock
Of raw wool tO make WOODEN hose With-
merely for the purpose Of Keeping his
men employed. The transaction resulted
in i net loss Of 100000. Sir Sperry
shows how such q transaction can be es-
timated ia figuring on an income.
He also says that large commercial
concerns VIII never be able to make am
estimate IF their incomes. They are in
the habit of giving credit mt from four To
Six months. ana their book accounts SELL
dom or never show what their income is.
If the book accounts are paid A. repre-
SCENTS income. otherwise 1T represents
loss. Dir. Sparry SAYS there is no practi-
cal means of 0bviating this difficulty.
Tn tile plan 10 havt the discussing of
fcer of firms or corporations pay the tax
on salaries of EMPLOYEES. Mr.. Sperry saws
that the proposed law shows its manifest
injustice. "a salary Is ascertainable and
is net like the uncertain profits OF a bus
iness firm. And vet the employer is
compelled to do the bookkeeping and
assume the burden of looking after the
taxes on all the salaries of his employees.

have not at hand file of the above men,

worse than useless, conceived in an attempt
to eXtOrt money from teachers, and carried

stating that eX-Supt. Estabrook once ap-
pointed Mr.. Dimond to a position similar to
that in which he worked at COrunna, and
that Supt. Pattengill has twice appointed
Mr.. Monroe institute instructor in the
county. 1t is without intention of express
ing disrespect for Mr.. White, of the Press,

Estabrook or Pattengill before that of

charges against myself, and | shall take
them up one by one:

summer school at Corunna. During the
three years that was commissioner, con-
tributed several hundred dollars from my
salary to pay for supplies necessary to per-

in Office nearly ruined my health and made
| it necessary for me to seek other employ

feat Mr.. Simmons. When that gentleman
was candidate for a position on the board
two years ago, he asked me to assist him,
and, to the extent of my small abilities in
that direction, / did so. Since then, Mr..
Simmons and have not ALWAYS thought
alike In school matters; but that has not
prevented me from appreciating his broad
knowledge of educational affairs or his
