ApvocArEs INCOME rAx

Editor The Call-Sir: What is the
objection to an income tax that there is
such hullabaloo about it in the pa
pers? We have the Morgans and the
Rockefellers on one side and the Aid
riches and Brewers on the other side
against 1.-THE trusts and combinations
with their advocates. During the war
of the rebellion we had an income tax
ordered by congress Ct think it was
per cent over a certain amount).
There was no objection then to it, no
talk of invading states rights, no OBJ
lection to its constitutionality; why,
then, have we objections now? Is it
because we had so few millionaires and
no trusts and combinations then? If
congress had power to levy an income
tax then it certainly has that power
now, and it is the only tax that can
reach the rich and relieve the poor.
