WANTS AN INCOME TAX.


Col Roosevelt set forth his belief IN a
graduated income tax on swollen fortunes
and a graduated inheritance tax on big
fortunes. 1t should be properly safe
guarded against invasion, he said, and
should increase rapidly IN amount with
the size Of the estate. The Supreme Court
has held that such a tax is a direct tax,
and is. therefore. unconstitutional. A res
olution amending the Constitution so as
to permit OF the imposition OF an income
tax was adopted, and is now before the
State legislatures. Mr. Taft regards an
income tax as proper source Of revenue
only in emergency. however. and prefers
graduated inheritance tax as q remedy
for swollen fortunes.

A niggardly or penny-wise-and
pound-foolish policy in the use Of
public funds cannot be adhered to
without retarding the progress
of a community. Conservatism"
does not mean parsimony. The
parsimonious policy of the Demo-
cratic leaders who controlled Mis-
souri, for forty years created stag
nation, not development. People
left the state because there was no
life, no progress, nothing to cheer
and inspire them. The conser-
vative policy of the present admin
istration seems extravagan 1t when
compared with the niggardly
policy of the long continued De-
mocratic administrations, but 1t is
reviving, developing and redeem
ing the state.

For many, many years Demo.
cratic governors and law makers
permitted the system of tax as.
sessment and collection to 60 un-
changed and unimproved. It has
been the custom to assess real
estate at any rate agreeable to
local ideas and purposes instead
OF following the letter and spirit of
the law. The result has been that
farm lands in n county are list
ed at 20 per cent of their value, in
another county at 80 and in
another at 40 to so. The same Is
true of other real estate. There
is no uniformity, no fixed basis,
hence no equitable on just method
Of levying taxes.

MI. Lehman, like Mr.. Francis,
refused to support Organism in
1896, but, unlike Mr.. Francis, he
has not showed himself willing to
take up the cause of the Missouri
Democracy since Organism de-
clined. He is not anxious to go to
the Senate o. to seek any other
political preferment. He is re-
garded in st. Louis and through
out the state as one Of the BRAIN

Although a Democrat he has not
