tBy CLYDE Fl. favenner5
Washington, March 2 Should a fis-
cal system which permits those who
own 80 per cent OF the wealth of the
United States to shoulder but to per
cent Of the burden Of taxation, be rem
edied?
The Democratic house believes that
it should, and hence the passage Of
the excise-income tax bin which levies
tax Of one per cent on in comes in
excess Of $4,000 a year.
Thise does not mean that an gersons
having more than $4,000 must pay a
tax on the excess Of that sum. 1T
means that those who have an annual
income or profit Of more than ST.
900 must pay the one per cent tax on
all income or profit exceeding $4,000
1t VIII be necessary IN most cases for
a person to have a capitalized sum OF
about 100000 before he is called up
on to pay one per cent tax on that
portion in excess Of $4,000.
The standpattefs, however say this
plan is class legislation They were
never heard to complain d the pres
ent system OF raising revenue to run
the government as being class legisla-
tion, although it is even more class
legislation than that proposed under
the excise income tax bill Under the
present system the burden falls en-
tireIy upon the masses, wealth alone
being the enc thing untaxed for federal
revenue.
The masses Of the people produce
the wealth, and by legislative adyant-
age few get possession Of it, and
now these few object to the transfer
Of the tax from but one article Of gen
eral consumption-sugar-to wealth.
They would prefer that the govern
ment continue to tax sugar instead Or
wealth, because they eat no more su-
gar than the section hand Or the mill
worker, and therefore Under the pres.
ent system are compelled to pay no
greater tax to the government than
does the poorest man.
The United States is practically tht
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1912-03-25
Income Tax is a
Just Measure

only one Of the great nations today
that raises practically an its revenue
BY taxing the people according to their
needs and practically according to
their poverty, and allows wealth to 80
untaxed
The government now raises $Sl4,
100000 annually by placing an import
duty or tariff on the things the people
eat wear or use Banks, railroads
and steamship lines pay nothing be-
cause they do not come in through
the customs houses Mr. Rockefeller
pays no more taxes than the average
citizen because he uses no more of the
things the people must have IN order
to live than does the average man.
IL a system which requires a mill
honaire to pay no more tax to the fed
eral government than the section hand
or the mill worker is fair and just,
there is no need Of reform; but II, such
a system IS unjust the excise income
tax bin is a move in the right direc-
ton to remedy it.
