II do not suppose that any man can be found any

law An income tax IL probably the most UNJUST
tax that car be levied. There have been good many
reasons stated as 10 why IL is nequtaOie but there
is one point which has seldom been Drought 10 pup

does no work may have an income OF SlVoW

man who works constantly, may b" some good Tor,
