In NV judgment an anne ndment TO
the Constitution for an iscome tax is
not necet sary. believe that an in
GENE tax, when the protective system
Of custom and the acknowledgements tax
shall not furnish income enough for
governmental needs, can aud should be
devised which uuder thu decision of
the Supreme Court will conform to the
Constitution - Mr.. Tafts speech of ac-
eeptsnce, July 2S, 1913.
We favor an inesme tax as part Of
our revenue system, and we urge the
submission amendment specifically
authorizing Congress to levy and coll
lect tax upon individual and corpor-
ateincomes, that they may bear their
rroportonate share OF the burdens Of
the Federal ationai plat
form of the Democratic party adopted
at Denver, July 10, 1908.
Mr.. Taft is a great eonstitutio nal
lawyer. In his opinion an income-tax
provision can be drawn to conform
with the Constitution, in spite of past
decisions of the United States Supreme
Court. He holds it to be u just and
ex pedient tax at this time.
Why should not all Democrats IN
the Senate follow Mr.. Taft's advice?
BY their national platform they are
committed to the principle of the Ia
GENE tax, without regard to the
tariff, as way TO make wealth bear
its fair share of the burdens of tie
Government None of them is better
qualified than Mr.. Taft by legal learn
ing and experience to pass ON the cor :
stitutionality OF such measure.
Why should not the Republicans in
the Senate adopt Mr.. Taft's plan? They
are committed by their national plat
form and their campaign pledges to an
honest revision of the Dingley tariff, a
thorough aud downward revision.
They are responsible for the raising of
adequate revenues for the Government.
AS Mr.. Taft described it, the condition
/, today exists when the protective sys-
| tenn ofcustorn aud the ilternai-reyeuue
tax do not furnish enough income.
The proposed revision of the DIngley
duties clone will not produce enough
additional revenue unless taxes on the
| neccessaries of life are raised and the
cost of living still further increased 10
millions of poor consumers.
/ What better method Is there in the
i circumstances of securing addition al
1 revenue than a tax on incomes?
| There are enough Democrats and
| Republicans in the Senate who favor
the incom tax to make it part Of he
| pending Tariff bill If they will wor k
| Loyalty together. 1t would be folly to
sacrifice the opportunity to min or
or petty differences of opinion. The
time is ripe for real tax reform, for
| the enactment into the forms of law
that wealth must pay it's p 'oper prop
ortion Of the costs of q ,vernment and
that poverty shall not he further rem
allied by excessive exactions for the
relief of wea TIL
The income tax will be forward
step in that direction. II will not cor
rect the inequalities of the tariff, but
in part II will offset them. At least
Il VIII remove the pre.ext for making
them worse i'll the new tariff by re-
moving the excuse for taxes designed
to increase the prices Of food, clothing
