TIE INCOME TAX Law.

Only about one in every thousand
or more will be affected by the en-
sctment of the income tax law.
That is thought worth keeping in
mind at the present time and during
all coming months.
Go out among the peup'e and talk
the taxation question with item and
you will find that an overwhelming
ma jorlty of them believe that the
rich man or the man with the large
income dues not pay his proportional
share of the expenses of the state or
nation.
Within the next twenty four months
Wisconsin will elect new Legislature
and that Legislature will be called
upon to decide whether OF not there
shall be an incume tax law on the
federal statutes.
Congress has demanded that vote
be taken in every state Legislature
In the uniun within the next two years
for or against this law, and if three
fourt tbs of the states favor it, then
an amendment will be added to the
constitution of the United States and
thereafter, incomes over and above a
certain fixed amount, will have to pay
certain per cent thereof into the
national treasury.
1t is we'll to know that practically
every civilized country in the world
save America has an income tax.
What is your duty in the premises
If you favor the law itself, see to it
that no man is elected to the next
Wisconsin Legislature, so far as your
influence goes, who is not in favor of
the amendment.
