THE TAX BURDEN.

Proper distribution of the real
burdens of government is one OF
the most difficult tasks encounter

I PAYERS are entitled to fair treat
ment in the levy and collection Of
taxes and a system which places
the burden of taxation unequally
upon them is unjust and should
not be tolerated But our taxing
system, both State and National,
is discriminatory. Tariff taxes bear
heaviest upon the poor man of fam
| lily whose necessities, which often
exceed those of the rich, are taxed
the same and in some instances
more than are those of his more
fortunate brother. If ones taxes
are in accordance with the amount
of purchase, there is no escape be-
low a given point, depending upon
the size of the family.
If the tax on consumption were
paid to the government, the burd-

and outrageously unjust, most Of
this tax goes into the pockets Of
protected individuals or concerns,
who thus fatten off the burdens
of the people
That an enlightened public could
be caioled into tolerating such an
unjust system is fnconceivable Bur
there are signs of awakening, and
unless false issues are thrust upon
the country, the people of these
United States will drive the
authors of this injustice from pow
