IN TAXATION

When children wish. to frighten
other children, all they have to do
Is to slip up behind them and say,
"Boo!"
When pub ic speakers wish to ter
rorize many people, all tney have 70
do Is TO mount platform, or issue a
circular and say, "Taxes!"
"Boo!"-"Taxes! These are scare
words. What are taxes?
Taxes are the peoples contribu-
tions to the expenses of their own
government; that Is, their own pro-
lection.
Who should pay the most for pro

to protect.
There's your whole theory OF tax.
alton.
The only reason the word Taxes"
Is 80 unpleasant Is because expert
ence has taught most people that, in
general. the mention of taxes means
more taxes.
Secretary Taft, in a recent speech.
referred to an Inheritance tax and an
income tax. He was rather guarded
in his remarks; he knew that Taxes"
and Boo" had similar effects. But
he did speak plainly in favor OF an
Inheritance tax. and he left the i'm
preston that, under certain circum-
stances, he would not object to an
income tax.
Along with other vital issues. this
tax problem is sure to become more
and more a matter of public concern,
We may as well give 1t thought and
consideration now.
1t is apparent. theoretically speak

1t Is also apparent that II Is unequal.
AS class. men Of wealth do not
begin to contribute their pro rata
share to the very power that has en-.
abled them to be wealthy. And when
they die. their great fortunes are
passed on With the help OF the gov

and preserve them, they build up
businesses and operate them. And
when the government says. PAY your

OF the Goyerrment.
II Is In an effort to bring about
such equa ity that the inheritance and
income taxes have come once more
before the people.
For over L. years England has had
an inheri ance tax. She boasts today
that the burden of her taxation is laid
mcst on thOse who benefit most by
her government And almost at the
moment when President Roosevelt
was publicly, urging an inheritance
tax. Eng.and's chancellor OF the ex-
cbe.uer was telling the Commons,

seems now to be a foregone conclu-
sion. The party managers are appar
emily alarmed at the extent of the

the recognition Of colored men will
be one of the features of the new
programme to counterfeit the effect
Of the dissatisfaction and that the
