The income tax law, which has been
agitated for twenty-five years or more
has finally come to be part of our
system of taxation. 1t is in part only,
substitute for the personal property
tax. In theory there is no more Just a
tax than this and in practice it un-
doubtedly will work out to be system
of taxation far superior in Justice to
that of our personal property tax.
Teachers are especially urged to ac-
quaint themselves with the main fea-
lures of the law so that brief expla-
nation Of it can be made to the larger
pupils in their schools. Like every
new law it will meet with some op-
position throughout the state, even
though it be the best law ever passed.
Some people are too anxious to hold on
to old things and methods, no matter
how much of an improvement new
law may be on the old. Teachers can
do much in their schools and communi-
ties to make clear the provisions of
this law. 1t should certainly be given
a fair trial. Send to the Wisconsin
Tax Commission for a copy of the law
in pamphlet form.
