but by the few, that the taxes OF the
country are principlly paid, and all talk
to the contrary IS refuted by the official
figures which are all open to inspection
everywhere.
Our state and local taxes constitute
ehe bulk of Hhe aggregate contributions
that are required TO be made for carry
ing on the business of government. The
federal revenue is obtained in an iadreot
way chiefly from tariff duties, but the
states, counties and municipalities levy
tribute directly upon the property within
thesr jurisdiction. not in a per capita
FASHION, but according to its value; and
and The result is that m every community
minority of ahe people pay most of the
taxes. In other words We have class
taxation, Notwithstanding our theory Of
equaity and uniformity and the class
againist which the discrimination is made
does not represent The labor of the coun-
try. The proportion of taxpayers to non
taxpayers IS much smaller than is gener-
ally understood. There are far more
men who never pay dollar in that re-
speot than there are men who pay evan
such a sum. The assertion that an in
come tax or any other speoal device is
necessary to compel the rich to pay a
proper part of the taxes does not deserve
serious consideration, for the reason that
the tax-books answer 1T in plain and
conclusive way. There are some forms
of property which escape taxation, but
the fact remains that the burden IS so
imposed that it falls mainly upon she
capitaHts and large proprietoTs, and not
upon the tolling masses whom the DEM
agogues are always telling that they are
being oppressed and impoverished by
laws relating to the collection of money
for public purposes.
