NAN Va TIC tAuNAluS SlnS OF Iut
Congress which recently passed
into history was It's failure tc
pass income or inheritance tax
legislation. All of the first class
nations of the world have either
an income tax or an inheritance
tax, and many have both.
We now raise practically all
national revenues by placing a
tariff tax on things eaten, worn
or used by the people. This sys-
TEN is unjust because it requires
the wOrkingman to pay not less
than one thousand per cent, more
taxes in proportion to his income
than a millionaire.
Our protective system of course
requires the millionaire to pay
a tax on that which he eats,
wears or uses, but it does not tax
him to the extent of one penny
on his wealth.
Thus it might, and no doubt
frequently does, happen, that a
section hand on the railroad with
a family of six or seven children
pays more toward running the
national government, toward
building battle ships and main
tanning them, toward keeping our
standing army, than the million
aire bachelor who is too proud to
marry and raise children.
President Taft, and President
Taft alone, must bear the brunt
of responsibility for the failure
of Congress to tack an income
tax provision on the Payne-Ald-
rich bill. A majority of both
houses We're in favor of an in
come tax amendment would be
passed, and, as usual, appealed to
President Taft for aid.
The President knuckled alb
solutely to the will of Boss AID
rich, urging Congress to pass a
corporation tax instead of an in
come tax. To fool and console
the people the treacherous Aid
rich then smilingly consented to
a ratification of a constitutional
amendment legalizing an in
come tax, well knowing that ways
could be worked out to thwart
such ratification, at least within
the life of the present generation.
But there remains still another
chapter of this legislature swim
die that the American people
ought to know about. As an ex-
cuse for having killed an income
tax, President Taft stated, that
the corporation tax should coplli
a publicity clause which would en+
able the government and the pco-
pie to secure information about
the working methods Of the cor
pOrations. He held cat the hope
that this publicity clause would
make it possible for the govern
ment to hold the law-breaking
trusts responsible in court for
their acts.
So Congress passed the corpora
tlCn tax, but jokcrcl the people
purposely failing to provide
for the handling of data
which would come in under the
publicity clause. Even this
was not enough. Congress, in
the session just closed, completed
the swindle on the public by ,
striking out the publicity feature ,
all together. And Mr.. Taft him ;
self had declared the publicity 8
was the most valuable fea-
.lre in the bill. How long are r
people goingto stand for such ,
Jreachery as this. .

Senator Clapp Of Minnesota,

one at the top? Before you an

way it is without an income tax.
Until the present tariff schedules
are revised along lines Of Just
ice, and until we have an income
tax to take some Of the burden of
taxation from the man at the bot

as a deadly parallel to existing
conditions"

FogePs Attempt To Mix Baseball and
Circus Goes to the Bad.

When Horace Fogel was elevated TO
the presidency of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals through the grace Of Charles
Murphy and the money of Charles
Taft, he commenced TO do strange
things. The ex-scribe bought an Gle
plant.
The peanut-eater was picked up at a
bargain from a broken circus owner.
Horace announced he would use the
elephant for hauling out the tarpaulin
that covered the field. One day II
rained and the elephant was hooked
UP on The field covering.
When he started down the first base
line the groundkeeper screamed muir
der. The elephant sank into the soft
dirt foot every time he took a step.
Then. the animal got nasty, BOWED

around generally.
