Trouble With Former Act.

Speaking Of the unconstitutionality
of the former act, there Is one thing
certain-whether or not 1t was In har-
mony with the constitution of the
United States, 1t surely did not agree
with the constitution OF the average
millionaire.
Some people seem to think anything
unconstitutional which interferes with
their getting and keeping all the dol
lars in the world. The trouble is that
on divers and sundry occasions they
have been able to make the nation
stand for this idea.
The principle Of the income tax Is
that those should pay the taxes who
have the money. This seems a per
Tectly simple and practical arrange
ment, but thus far has failed to work
for the reason that those who have
the money have preferred to pay 1t to
lawyers, legislators, press agents and
yellow dog" lobbyists rather than to
revenue collectors. Their motto has
apparently been millions for brides
and campaign contributions, but not
one cent for taxes. The result has
been that those who haven't the mon
ey have paid the federal taxes when
they did not know 1t. This may seem
paradoxical, but is not half 80 para
doxical as most of the present system
OF taxation. Some day the American
people will awaken to this fact. In
deed, many Of them are awakening
now. When the whole nation gets its
eyes fully open 1t will indulge in Ho'
lneric laughter-that is. 1t will II not
too indignant.

Adoption Likely Next Year.

1t is probable that the income tax
amendment will be adopted not later
than 1912. In a letter just received
from the office of Senator Brown, the
author of the measure, and written at
his direction, he confirms the list Of

First Income Tax.

The income tax was first adopted in
England in 1899. Those who had the
money raised as big a roar about that
a. their kind over here do now. AS
a consequence the law was repealed
two or three years later, but was soon
re-enacted In a different form. This
dme It stuck, there being no court
in England, supreme or otherwise. that
dares override the acts Of parliament.
About the middle OF the century the
law was strengthened. At present the
British government, so far as practical
BILE, takes the tax out of the income
before 1t reaches the hands of the
recipient, experience having proved
that a taxpayers honesty and patriot
ism do not necessarily increase in di-
rect ratio to the size of his income.
Frankly, the officials had various kinds
OF trouble in collecting the tax, being
met with all the forms OF evasion from
concealment to plain lying. If there
ever was a man that loved TO pay his
taxes, the fact has not been chronicled
in profane history. I say 'profane"
history because that Is the only kind
that could deal adequately with the
language OF men paying taxes. In this
country men "swear of" their taxes
and in all countries swear at them.
Germany also levies an income tax,
and France is about to do so. Other
countries have 1t in varying forms.
Usually 1t is graduated, the rate In
creasing with the size of the income
For example. an income of 5000 per
year is taxed per cent, or $50, one
OF $4,000 is taxed per cent or 500
one OF $4,000 per year is taxed 4 pei
cent, OF $500. etc. 1t is this sort Of al
impost that causes the loudest yell.

Farmers clubs-such as that started
in Kansas-are developments to take
advantage OF the enlarged opportuni-

The grange, in it's prime, was a similar

even a stronger influence toward i'm

that no provision seems to have been

dicted neither TO booze nor tobacco.
No one ever saw him play cards for
money-nor did he speculate. He had
every appearance of being a dignified
and responsible citizen. Most Of his
acquaintance would have bet their
last dollar that he was as honest as the
day--and the public funds were abso-
lutely safe in his possession.
The impelling motive behind Mr.. Nc
Convilles crime seems to have been
one Of three things. He was ambitious
TO live better than the salary of his
office permitted-ill- health of members
of his family increased his expense ac-
count beyond the limitations of his
salary--or his anxiety to educate his
children at a university led him to pill
fer county funds.
II the first Is true he will naturally
be condemned with some bitterness.
If the second, the public will sympa-
thize with him in his misfortune il it
does not condone his offense. IL the
third, his acquaintance NAV admire
his filial devotion to his children, but
greatly deplors his methods of secur-
