handing" his little daughter rushed up
10 him and kissed him. The Congress-

tender parental eye.

PROPOSED NATIONAL INCOME TAX

The question of an income tax is be-
fore the country. On the face Of it, it
is one Of the fairest taxes that can be
conceived of. Who Of all others can
best ofFord to pay such tax, but he
who has a surplus. But it appears to
US that every effort hitherto expressed
to lay such a tax, has been faulty in
principle The probl n should be made
a simple one. There should be no ex-
ceptions, no reserved incomes. Every
body pays d property tax that has
property. The poor mans home is
taxed Just the same as the rich mans
place, and this is right. 1t is to the
advantage Of the poor man for it con-
fers partnership in government which
he can claim by right of being tax
payer. A dangerous situation developes
in governm mt, dangerous for the poor,
when the rich alone support it and
alone dominate it. Democracy must
pay for it's existence just the same, if
not as much, as aristocracy and therein
lies the living breath Of democracy.
An income tax, like property tex,
should be spread over all incomes at a
very low per cent. But all should share
the burden alike. Then such a tax will
stand the ordeal Of the courts, as wei!
as the sense Of justice in the people.
The poor man must pay little because
he has little and rich man much because
he has much Governor Hoard.
