Property is Not Taxed.
New York World.

New York World.
A morning newspaper says that
1.-THE Chicago convention declared
against equal rights by proposing to
tax men with certain incomes twice,
once on their property and again on
its profits"
This is not true statement of the
purpose or effect of An income tax.
The federal government does not
tax men ION their property" With.
out meaning to be in ,idious, but
simply for the sake of illustrating by
examples, we ask what taxes for the
support of the national government
are paid by MIR. Vanderbilt, Mr..
Aster, Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr.. Gould,
Mr.. Pisrpont Morgan, or any of
our very rich mens They have a
vast amount Of property which the
federal government would defend in
case of foreign war, or protect in
case Of riot and mob violence, as it
did at Chicago. What return do
these citizens make for their protec.
tion?
On the imported goods which they
buy they pay an average duty of AZ
per cent. But so does every farmer,
mechanic, clerk, day laborer and all
other consumers. Eight.tenths of
all the customs duties are collected
upon articles of universal use; 80 that
wealth, while paying slightly more
per capita owing to the larger de-
mands of luxury, does not contrib
ute to the support of the government
at all in proportion to benefits re.
ceived or ability to pay.
Nearly one half of the national
revenue is collected from internal
taxes, chiefly ON whiskey, beer and
tobacco. The poor-that is to say
the masses-certainly pay the larger
portion OF this.
There are no federal taxes on
property, nor any on accumulated
wealth in any form. 1t was to reme-
dy in part this inequality and injus-
tice that small tax on incomes
above $4,000 was voted by congress.
The rich men who succeeded in nul.
lifying this tax by inducing the su.
preme court not only to 60 hack on
the decisions of century, but to
reverse Its own previous ruling in
the same case, made the poorest in.
vestment that plutocracy ever
INDUCED in. They could better
have afforded to pay the tax ten
times over than to have raised the
storm which has beat down the
securities and threatens them with
greater losses still.

Sedalia, No, August 11.-George
Stanley, Conway Fleming, Arthur

all residents of Lamonte. Pettis Co.,

by the village undertaken for holding
embalming fluid, although the fact
was not known. All drank of the
water and were made deathly sick,
three of them turning black in the
face. DIR. Penquite was summoned
