THE INCOME TAX.

Some of the large income receivers
of the country would have been
pleased to have the sensational
rumor confirmed of an error i'll the
income tax clause of the new tariff
enactme..t impairing if not destroying
the efficiency of the clau ,e. But it
woull have been a great disappoint-
ment to the masses of the people who
justly regard this measure as ca.cu-
lated to make the very wealthy share
a portion which they now escape of
the burdens of the federal government.
1t is I'M luestionlbly true that the tax
is very iii .iicult of collection and fur
nisheS the opportunity for great
deal of fraud; but this is true in
measure of all tax laws. To refuse to
levy tax on that ground would be
submission practically to threat, for
the danger of fraud comes for the
most part from the very persons who
oppose and denounce the law on the
ground that it is likely to be fraudu-
lently cvad ed. AS to the theoretic
justice of such a tax there is very
little dispute even on the part of those
who most bitterly oppose it. 1t is
conceded that without it the receivers
of large incomes pay tax for the
support of the federal government
which is utterly disproportione
to the value they receive in the way
of protection from the federal
government and federal laws.
If the entire tax for the support of
the general government comes from
custom duties and internal duties on
whislley and tobacco, each member of
the body polite pays only according
to his consumption of dutiable goods
and the "luxuries" named. The mill
ionaire may pay more in this way than
the workingman, but not great deal
more; while the service the govern
ment renders him in the way of pro-
lection to property interests is inf
nitely greater than the service rem
dered to the workingman. AS a mat
ter of cvenhanded justice therefore,
the millionaire should be made to
pay more than the workingman; and
while the income tax is somewhat
bungling and inefficient device to that
end it is one of the best yet discov-
ered.-Detroit Free Press.
