The income tax law of 1894 was a

pered for funds. In subsequent years
it was discussed by the Democrats and
later was taken up by President Roose-
welt. No serious purpose to put it on
the statute books was shown by con-
gress, however, until the extra session
Of this year, when the sidetracking of
the inheritance tax proposed by the
house left the way open for an income
tax amendment. With considerable
glee the insurgents and Democrats an
nounced that they had enough votes
to adopt the measure. It was at this
point that the administration came for
ward with its double proposal of
corporation tax and of a constitutional
amendment to permit an income tax,
which had the effect Of sidetracking
the immediate consideration Of the in
come tax amendment and thus saved
the supreme court from reversing it.

In England, where the income tax
has been in force for many years, it
was once opposed by Gladstone on the
ground that it made "a nation Of
liars" Despite the criticism by Eng

tanned, but the objection was noted
and the ground for it removed in
rather an ingenious way At the time
Of Gladstone's structure the British
method Of collecting the tax was like
our own-that is, it was collected from
the man who received the income.
Now it is collected from the man who
pays the income that is, if one is
paid a salary the tax is deducted be-.

By JAMES A. EDCERTON.
NOR the first time in forty years
a constitutional amendment is
being submitted to the legis-

1slatures Of the various states.
1t was in 1869 that the fifteenth
amendment, providing that the right
to vote should not be abridged be-
cause of Grace, color or previous con-
dltlon of servitude," was submitted
The year following it was approved.
Indeed, it is worthy Of note that no
amendment has ever been submitted
by congress in the regular way that
has not been ratified by the states. If
this is a criterion, the income tax
amendment now proposed is already
as good as adopted
The method laid down in the consti-
tuition for it's own amendment pro-
vides that two-thirds of each house of
congress shall be required for the sub
mission of the proposed change, after
which it must be ratified by the legis-
latures Of three-fourths of the states
The present amendment has already
received the two-thirds majority of the
two houses of congress and has been
certified by the president to the gov
ernors Of the forty-six states. 1t will
probably be acted on by the legis-
latures next winter.
Another method for the amendment
of the constitution has been provided,
but it has never been invoked. When
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1909-08-12

the legislatures of two-thirds Of the
states shall demand a constitutional
convention, congress is in duty bound
to call it. A few desultory attempts of
this sort have been proposed or dis
cussed, but nothing ever came of them.
One such proposal was in connection
with the election of senators by popu-
lar vote. The house Of representatives
has also proposed this amendment sew
eral times and passed it by practical
ly unanimous vote, but the senate
has refused to concur. Is it possible
that majority of our honorable sena-
tors are afraid Of the people? At any
rate, they seem opposed to any change
in the method Of choosing senators, in
volving, as it might, change in the
character of the senators so chosen. It
is evident that the only way the Amer
dcan people will ever get election of
senators by direct vote is to instruct
their legislators to choose senators
committed to this reform.
The Income Tax Decision.
The history of the income tax has
been somewhat different from that of
popular election of senators, although
the two reforms have been advocated
an the main by the same progressive
element. Popular election of senator's
has never had legal existence, al
though practiced in some states, while
the income tax was in use among the
colonies and in certain states, was
adopted by the general government
during the civil war and was a recog-
nized method of taxation, both state
and national, until declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court in 1895.
It is to remove the obstacle then raised
that the present constitutional amend
ment is proposed.
No decision since that on the bred
Scott case in the troubled days before
the war ever aroused the storm OF
criticism against our highest judicial
tribunal that followed this finding i.
the income tax case. The fact that
the tax had stood since the fcur.i:7.

rents or fixed profits, Annuities are
treated in like manner, while in the
case OF corporations, partnerships, busi.
ness and professional men, and the
like, it is easy to compute incomes
with tolerable accuracy and to collect
the tax before it reaches the pockets

present method Of collection does not
hurt SO much. One does not miss
what he never possessed.
The advocates of an income tax
argue that it is the most equitable and
just form of raising revenue for the
reason that it places the burden of
government on the shoulders of those
most able to bear it. They contend
that graduated income tax is also
justified for the reason that a man
receiving 100000 per year can better
afford to part with 10 per cent of it. or
$4,000. than man receiving 81 1000
can afford to part with 1 per cent, or
$40, for the one with the large income
would still have left $4,000, while he
with the smaller income would have
only 5000. The old notion that men
spend according to their incomes is
largely exploded. There are certain
fixed amounts that each being has to

smooth BY the easiest way don't mean
the slopplest, but tho method which

as few obstacles as possible. People
who are in trouble all the time, with
work never done, are those who have
no system. who never look ahead and
who 7on't concentrate while they are
