ally agreed that the income tax
il the fairest Of all taxes. 1t

It is easier to assess it fairly
than it is to assess a personal

discover income than personal
property" While it was Il fed

our taxes to collect. To quote
still from Ely:
Nearly all Americans who
have given the subject of taxa

property tax as unjust and i'm
practicable. On the other hand,

any country where an income tax
has long been in force who does
not approve of it.

matter most other states, is me

AS TO PRESIDENT R0GSEVfLT'S
INHERITANCE TAX PLAN.

President Roosevelt will have
to inaugufate propaganda OF
reason in order to convince the
country that it should tax inheri-
lance or incomes SO stiffly as to
confiscate to it's own uses all the
excess over a certain liberal for
tune. But he will have need of
no such propaganda to convince
it that either through state or
national action, it should put a
heavier burden on inheritences,
or perhaps replace the property
tax with a graduated income tax
His battle there will be against
interest and privilege rather than
against intelligent conviction.
Neither of these two taxes is
"socialistic,' although both have
been attacked as such. They
represent lines of fiscal economy
in which the American practice
has been less progressive and
more reactionary than the prac-
tice Of even the monarcfies OF
the European continent. Not
only Great Britain, but Prussia,
Italy, Austria. Denmark. Sweden
aud France have The income tax.
England raises from it about
$3.50, 900, ND0a year, out of total
tax levy Of about 500, 900, 900.
Six American states have i'm
posed the income tax, and the
national government had it for
the decade between 1862 and 1872.
AS a part of the Wilson bill the
income tax measure was declared
unconstitutional only because, as
drafted, it collected taxes from
the states in proportion to their
wealth, and not in proportion to
their population, as the consti
tuition expressly commanded
Inheritance taxes are now i'm
posed by IA states of the Union,
by practically all of the countries
of the continent, and by Great
Britain, whose death duties"
total about $40, 200. 600. About
one-third of she expenses of
Great Britain, indeed, are met
by the proceeds are met by the
proceeds of the inheritance and
income taxes. With it's lower
tax New York state collected
1862, O51 on inheritance taxes
last year out of total receipts of
$22,446. 700.
One justification of both these
taxes, at least for state purposes,
is that through them personal
property which commonly evades
the general property tax is
reached by the state, and part
of the burden is thus lifted from
realty and the rent payer. Real
ty, which should not pay more
than 1 per cent. is usually sad
died with about double that
amount. The inheritance tax is
levied partly on the assumption
that through it personal proper

with the innocent zest Of that old style
of counting that was done at singing

There are few hearts so withered
and old but they beat quicker some
times when they hear, in old-fashioned
churches, the wailing. sobbing or ex

floats down on the current of these old
melodies to that fresh young day OF
hopes and illusions-of voices that

In five years the record for lake

certain that the record cargo of 1906
