THE VOICE OF THE STATES.

We favor an income tax for the sup
port Of the federal government, that
industry may be the less burdened, and
that wealth may bear it's proper share

necessary, we favor a constitutional
amendment providing that such tax
may be levied.-Virginia Democratic

We favor the election Of United
States senators by direct vote Of the

tax, believing that each person should
pay toward the support of the govern
ment in accordance with that which he
has.-Nebraska Democratic Platform.
1898.
We are In -ravor Of an income tax, SO
that the burden Of taxation may be
equally and impartially laid, to the end
that wealth may bear its due proper
ton Of the expenses of the government.
and in view Of the recent decision Of
the supreme court of the United States,
declaring an income tax law passed by
congress unconstitutional. we are In
favor of an amendment to the consti-
tutio making a reasonable and just IN

READY FOR AN INCOME TAX.

income over living expenses. To be
truly and justly proportionate they
ought to be based, not on the total in
come. but on that surplus. The larger
that surplus the more taxes its for
tunate owner can afford to pay. The
man whose entire income is absorbed
in providing a meagre living for his
family has no surplus and therefore
ought not to be taxed. The one whose
fraction Of his income and whose sur
plus mounts into the millions can at
ford to be taxed heavily.
Taxes such as our present ones which
wipe out the entire surplus OF persons
with small incomes, and leave persons
with large incomes unaffected tend di-
rectly to suppress saving among the
Of wealth in the hands Of the few
Taxes producing the opposite effect
would be worth having for their social
benefits, even IL the government had no
use for the money they produced.
Ten years ago the investigation Of
Mr.. George K Holmes, the census ex-
pert. showed that less than five thou
sand persons owned one-fifth Of the
wealth OF the United States. and that
one-eighth Of the population owned
seven-eighths Of the wealth. The con-
centration has been enormously In
creased since then.
Four years ago Mr.. Rockefeller's in
come was estimated at $6.250,000. Now
it is not less than $40,0 0O. OOO OF that

and invest 1t probably. The average
family among the masses can save GER

can save anything at all. Mr.. Rookie
Teller. therefore. can salt down as much
as SOO. 600 such prosperous working Fam
lilies. numbering 1900. 900 people.
Would 1t not be well for the govern
ment to do something toward eQualiz-
ing matters instead of laying its taxes
in such a way as to make the Unequal
ity greater?

Under our present system the in

income tax must be regarded as In part
q compensation for the national taxes

The two most important sources Of
revenue under our present national ifs
cal system are sugar and beer. A poor
family uses about as much sugar as a
rich one, and often more. since It Is
usually larger, and it generally uses
more beer. Hence it contributes as
much in these directions not only rela-
lively, but absolutely, as its rich neigh

somewhere else.

income of $10.0oO.OO0 a year. divided
