To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
What are the principal sources from
which England collects her revenue, export,
import and internal? and does she levy an
internal revenue upon all or most OF the
articles upon which she collects import du-
ties, thereby placing the marufacturer of
other countries on an equality with her
own? What are the approximate amounts
collected annually upon exports imports

Great Britain's revenue is derived from
customs duties, internal revenue, or, as
called there. excise duties, and stamp taxes.
She levies customs or tariff duties on about
twenty articles, the most important being
coffee, tea and spirits and tobacco in all
forms. The duty on coffee is IA shillings,

pence or IL cents per pound; on spirits.
from $3.50 to $3.50 per gallon; on to-
bacco, manufactured 81 cents pound,
and on the different manufactures. from 50
cents to $1.20 a pound. These four articles
furnish the bulk of the revenue collected
by tariff duties. The stamp tax covers COM
mercial and legal papers of all kinds, in
surance policies contracts, certified copies
of records, etc. lawyers are taxed $3.50 for
admission to the bar. and doctors 500 for IL
cense to practice medicine. Notaries pub
lie pay $3.50 for their commission. Many
kinds of business pay an annual license.
and there is a special tax on carriages,
dwelling houses, hotels. restaurants, thea
tiers and many other things. There is an
income tax with $3.50 exempt. and if the
income is under 81, 900 the tax is not charge
able on the first $500. Railroads pay tax
of 2 per cent. on their passenger receipts
for city traffic and OF 5 per cent on other
traffic. There is am excise as well as
customs duty on spirits. beer and tobacco.
and tax on legacfes and SUGGESTIONS.
These are Great Britain's principal sources

Every argument advanced in favor of re-
ducing the width of the roadway on Capt.
toi avenue applies with equal or greater
force to every other street and avenue in
the city. The argument is that it is less
expensive to pave and maintain narrow
roadway than a wide one. If that argu-
ment is to control as to a boulevard it
should with greater reason control as to
every other street and avenue. In that case
Indianapolis, from having been noted for
wide streets, would become noted for mar
row ones. 1t is somewhat singular that
while the citizens of Cleveland should be
urging a widening of the roadway of Euclid
avenue some persons in this city should
be urging a reduction in the width of the
street which is to be improved expressly
for a boulevard. In Paris and Berlin miles
of buildings were torn down along narrow
streets in order to make them of the prop
er width for boulevards. Here it is pro-
posed to make boulevard by converting
wide street into a. narrow one.
