/. HITS ATTITUDE OF DIX
Austen G. Fox Takes Issue with
Income Tax Views.
CALLS PREMISES FAULTY
Doesn't Spare Prof. Selgman In
Letter to Chairman Of Assem-
bly, Judiciary Committee.

Austen G. Fox has sent letter 10 A. j.
Yevv chairman Of the Assembly Judiciary
Committee in which he discusses tho pro
rosed income tax amendment and declares
that as political head Of the Democratic
Marty Governor Dix's right to speak for
the majority cannot be questioned, while
as Governor he has none. Mr.. Fox con-
tinues:
The Governor says. "In any form de
ceit is contemptible," and then proceeds TO
make the following statements. which 10
some may seem misleading:
1T seems grotesque that the United
states. alone Of all the great nations of the
world. should be denied the power to levy
and collect q tax upon the income of its
citizens within its own boundaries.
As we all know. the United States have
such power now. provided only that tho
states according TO population He adds
1.-The purchaser of state and municipal
bonds invests his money with view of
obtaining absolute security" The purchas-
or. however, invests his money in order 10
obtain security for his principal and A

continues by saying: ut is demanded that
be (the holder of state and municipal
Silitv OF an income tax for tho maintenance
Of the national government tax that on
an investment on S10O,OOO IN state and mu-
nicipal bonds would probably not exceed
$50 a year"
The power 10 be given to Congress by
the proposed amendment is absolutely un-
limited. Municipal bonds generally bear a
higher rate than 4 per cent During the
A'xlstence Of the Civil War income tax the
rate Of tax always exceeded per cent on
AL incomes and reference to United
states Statutes at Large" XIII 1896,
