TAXES IN WAR TIME.
EVERY FORM OF BUSINESS LEVIED ON
DURING THE REBELLION.
SOME or THE MULTIFhRIOU3 WAYS OF sECUR
mo REVENUE RESORTED TO THEN
AND THAT MAY BE RE
SORTED TO AGAIN

Aside from the comprehensive. although some
what profane. description Of war credited to the
late General William 7. Sherman, war is at the
same time expensive method OF procedure to
prove the right OF a nations assertions. When a
country becomes involve in war there Is at
once incurred a gigantic expense. The ordinary
revenues are entirely inadequate to meet this
extraordinary condition. and taxes OF an I'M
usual nature are levied. The system Of war tax
alton is broader in scope and more far-reaching
than any method Of taxation in the time OF
peace. on account Of the imperative need Of large
sums Of money Now that the country is aroused
and the air is fife with talk Of conflict between
this country and Spain. tho cooler heads are
looking some way ahead, and already there has
been some speculation as to possible legislation
To raise the necessary funds for carry ing on the

f.NADING TAXATION

This extraordinary taxation was not receive"
ioyfully 10y the people. as may he imagined
Inn there was no outburst against IL IL WAS
looked upon "a a natural condition. ana the
necessity for ii was apparent. The protest
AGAINST il was lodged rather in an attempt To
cvad. its provisions than in any talk against H.
Should it be found necessary To impose any
taxes Of this kind now. it is probable that they
,youd bc chccrfully borne. and that there would
bc far less evasion and attempt to avoid paying
than was the case in the time of the War OF the
Rebellion.
IL Is interesting to note the schedule drawn up
by Congress in 1863. and more 50. perhaps, as II
ia safe to assume that in ease necessity arises
for an extraordinary tax bill OF this kind IN all
probability the taxation will fall upon the same
commodities and along the same lines. In the
