BELIEVES IN INCOME TAX.
President fngalis of the Big Four Ex
 pressed Himself So Last Night.

Kansas City, Mo, April 12.-Presi- dent N. E. Ingalls, of tue Big Four railroad, speaking at dinner of the Knife and Fork club last night advo- cated the income tax and the franchise tax. We are just learning,'' 2 said Mir Ingalls, s.that a franchise tax Is the easiest collected of any, and is prob ably one of the fairest ways of rais- ing revenue. Of course, those who manage corporations will object, as everybody does, to paying taxes, but nevertheless it is right and proper Those that have the protection of the state should bear their share of it's burdens.
 T have always believed in an in come tax and have thought that the decision of our supreme court against the constituti0nality of such tax was one of the most unfortunate oc- currences of the age. We should have a tax on all incomes, large or small. exempting a moderate amount as most of the state exempt certain amount of property from execution and levy This country is so rich that with fair system of taxation and economy in expenditure the tax rate will be so low that it will not be oppressive, and thus you will encourage and protect your small property holders.
