quarter The deacon couldn't do that, but

had given money passing IA quarter to an
other boy to get change with in his turn.
But it didn't work.

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1894-01-04

The revenues of the government heve
fallen off to such an extent within the
last year that Its income is not sufficient
to meet expenses. The income OF the
government is very large still, but its
disbursements are such as to justify the
use OF the much abused word awful
The Mckinley law reduced receipts from
custom duties, as 1t was intended 1t
should by prohibiting lmportat1ons, and
there has likewise been a reduction IN
internal revenue receipts. From a sur
plus of Sl00,0O0,0O0 per year we have now
a deficiency, with a reduction of 20 per
cent. of importations for the last few
months.
To meet this state OF affairs steps
should be taken to lessen expenses DOT
to increase revenues. With an income
from taxation far in excess of the needs
of the government the purpose was not
how to curtail expenses but how to
squander the surplus. This led to raide
on the treasury on various prete1ts and
we were becoming nation OF banditti.
The extravaganza which became so CON-
mon during the period of the surplus
should now give way to the practice of
judicious economy. Our expenses can
be greatly reduced in various ways and
thus the lesson taught that public funds
are not an object of legitimate prey.

ed to report an income tax of 2 per cent.
on individual incomes of $4,000 per an
mum or over and on the net incomes of
corporations. The more the income tax
Is examined in the light of history the
more impolltic it appears to create one.
Az income tax has never yet proved sue
cessful IN this country. 1t distributes
the burdens OF government unfairly and
because of its discrlmmative feature its
evasion will always be deemed on &C. of
yroprlety. Why man whose annual in,
come is $1,000 per year should pay tax
OF $50 to the government and the man
whose income is S3,999 should he exempt
1t would be difficult to explain unless on
the principle that a line must be drawn
somewhere. Why then should line be
drawn at all?
