The Income Tax in France.

Since certain Circuit Court Judges in
Virginia have instructed the grand
jury to investigate and report whether
or not the income tax law was being
enforced, much opposition to the law
has sprung up and some are urging
that 1t be repealed. We wonder what
the oppostionists would say if tho law
were as rigid as the proposed income
tax law In France.
Minister CaillauX has introduced n
measure in the French Assembly which
is most radical in its provisions 1t
cxempts no ono, not even the day Ia
borer. TIL main provisions%of the bill
az given in the Temps are as follows:
Tbs income of the individual citizen
ceipts from buildings from other real

or abroad including French rentes,
salaries of professional men, working
men, merchants and tradesmen, earn

! distinct sources OF income This tax
