 so wealthy that 1t can not be held to
 account. The Department of Justice
 has been as prompt to proceed against
 the weaithiest malefactor whose crime
 was one of greed and cunning as to proceed against the agitator who in- cites to brutal violence. Everything
 that can be done under the existing

 Moreover, there pust be the public opinion back of the laws or the laws themselves will be of no avail. Al present. while the average Juryman un-

When our laws are revised the Ques-

In my Judgment both of these taxes should be part of our system of Federal tax ation because one scheme for an in- come tax was declared unconstitutiOn- all by tfie Supreme Court; while in ad . dition it is S difficult tax to adminis- ter in its practical working, and great care would have to be exercised to see that 1t was not evaded by the very men whom it was most desirable to have taxed. for if so evaded 1t swouId. of course. be worse than no tax at all: as the least desirable of all taxes is the tax which bears heavily upon the hon- est as compared with the dishonest man Nevertheless. a graduated fn- come tax of the proper type would be a desirable feature of Federal taxation. and 1t is to he hoped that one may be- devised Which the Supreme Court will declare constitutional.
