 The Payne tarin btll provides for a duty of 25 per cent on books less than twenty years old. This item brings in c revenue of about half a million dol- lars a year. which 10 good es far as 1t goes. but not important. and might better bo raised on something else. The tax on books hits books of substance and merit for which there is not enough demand in this country to war rant their publication here under the protection of the international copy right law. Huch boolks--hIstoriea bl- ographies. memoirs. travels. scientific or philosophical works. and poetry are expensive enough at the best. and 1t seems considerably tnoxpedient to add to the cost of them by taxA2len. The reading of these more suhakantial works ought to be encouraged. The quicker the habit of reading them ia acquired by an apprselabie number of our people the sooner 1t will Dc profit able to publish them here under copy right protection. A tax on good books is a tax on knowledge. and e tax on booka lOns than twenty years old is a tax on news in the world of learn sng.
