How Income Tax Works.

This kind of an Inheritance tax and this kind of an income tax is novelty
 Many states like Illinois and New York tax inheritances and derive large in- come in that way. The country had an income tax under the Wilson law passed in 1894, and it gave promise of rolling up an enormous revenue without being seri-

ously burdensome on the people. Great Britain has an income tax today which includes rents as well as ordinary in- comes, and which produces approximately now nearly 5000, 900 a year.
 But that is not what President Roose- welt is aiming at. Great Britain is the greatest capltalstic country in the world. It's monarchy and it's Parliament are con trolled absolutely by the great wealthy middle class, and yet it submits to an in- come tax as a fair means of raising reve- nue. The Presidents notion is much more radical. If he has an income tax, he wants it so devised that it will bear light ly upon men of moderate incomes, but will soak those who measure their an- nual gain by hundreds of thousands and even by millions or tens of millions.
 An facome tax depends on it's rate. IT Congress has the right to impose 1t for one purpose it can do so for another. MT. Roosevelt's suggestion merely is that tax of this kind should be imposed by the federal government, graduated in such way that it will not merely discourage but actually will disintegrate fortunes swollen beyond the bounds of safety to the republic. The British income tax hits the just and unjust almost alike, but the Roosevelt scheme would leave the small fry in security and would operate as a practical prohibition on great in- comes.

May Cause Great Agitation.


 Ii is easy to see. therefore that in the coming battle royal there will be ar rayed on the one side poor men, men of moderate incomes. and the moderately rich, who have been unable to hold their own against the enormously rich. Against them will be the enormously rich indi- viduals. great corporations which admin ister estates, and the protected indus tries which naturally will fear the nec- essary attack upon the protective syS- tenn if the government gets into the habit of raising money from nheritances and incomes
 There are elements in the fight which can readily split the country on matter of theory. and while there is not the slightest chance of legislation at the com ing short session of Congress. there is a prospect. following out the analogy of the rate agitation. that there will be a spectacular fight in Congress and throughout the country beginning the day the President sends in his recommenda- tions, either in his regular message or otherwise, and continuing probably dur ing the remainder of his administration.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-11-29
Inheritance Tax as Curb.

Much the same theory is applied in the Presidents mind to an inheritance tax. In most of the laws of this character passed by the states and by the federal government as well, during the Spanish war, the theory has been always to in- crease the rate of tax according to the distance in blood relationship to which the estate is to descend. That is to say, an estate of certain amount going to a son would pay but a small tax. while the same estate going to a man not a blood relative would pay tax many times great.
 . The Roosevelt idea would be almost the reverse of this What he wants to do is to prevent the descent of swollen for tunes from father to son. He wants to break up these great fortunes as much as possible and to put a premium uron their dissipation during the lifetime of the holder. Under Mr. Roosevelts scheme an estate tied up for a short time like the Marshall Field bequcst for Instance, would be assessed a tax so large that 1t would split the estate in two or into good sized fragments, unless it had heen previously broken up during the lifetime of the original owner. The operation or this type of inheritance law would tend to divert fortunes to some extent away from the family and into the hands of friends and trustees well as institu- tioDS

Tax a Revenue Producer.

With this type of inheritance and in come tax leveled avowedly at the rich it is the belief of President Roosevelt that he could secure the disintegration of great fortunes as they now exist and prevent their being piled up in the fu- ture. Either an inheritance tax or income tax would be a large revenue producer It probably would make necessary in the long run, radical revision of our tariff law, and it might become necessary to get down to a free trade basis merely to prevent too much accumula ton in the treasury.
 If the true theory of the Roosevelt financial scheme works out however. it would result in the prohibition of great fortunes and hence would not be so great a revenue producer, because no man in his right mind would amass an enormous fortune if he knew that the government would take possession of the greater part of it upon his death. Even under those circumstances. however, the revenue de- rived from such sources would be great and it probably would be more than enough to run the government. so that internal revenues and customs dues nee essarily would have to be abolished or else the government itself would soon control all the money in the country.

ed upwards of100 hawks and about 10
owls that way in about four weeks and
we have no reason to doubt his word,
as he is a man of truth and Veracity.
Mr. Barr related some experiences he
has come through in his many years of
railroad service as brakeman and fire.
man on the P. & E. Some of these
hair raising episodes fairly made the
chills run down ones backbone. On
one occasion he was coming down
Kane hill and the air played out and
the train ran away, every effort was
made to stop but it was no use They
run from Kane TO Wilcox in four
minutes, distance of eight miles The
engineer had a full growth of whiskers
when he left Kane, but his face was
perfectly smooth passing Wilcox. The
severe wind had blew his beard off
clean. In the meantime the wheels
had run from under the engine and she
rode on the frame for over two miles,
fortunately no one was hurt. Another
time MIR. Barr remembers that he got
the red oil in the white signal lamps
and the green oil in the red lamps, and
the white oil in the green lamps, caus-
ing so much confusion that the oper-
ator at Beuzinger Tower did not know
whether there were a trolley car on
parade or an automobile. so he notified
the dispatcher and orders were issued
to side track them to find out what
they were. Explanations followed and
the signal were arranged properly.
Another illustration of presence OF
mind was also related. 1t seems that
one day while on a fast freight APP
preaching Feuton's water tank the in
iectors refused to work on the engine
and only scant guage of water in the
boiler. The engineer wanted to pull
the fire but Everitt said to wait little
and let him try his hand at it. So
quickly hurrying to the section house
he borrowed ladder and two water
pals and climbed the ladder to the top
of the smoke stack, succeeded in filling
the boiler by pouring the water down
the stack This shows what the right
man in the right PLACID can accomplish.
