THE PROPOSED
INCOME TAX Law

Following is an ex olanation Of
the income tax law, passed by
the house of representative by
the solid democratic vote ard the
votes If eighty republican
The ways and means CON mittee
in submitting the measure to the
house made the following state
ment:
After arguing the constitution
atty of the law, proclaimiug it in
absolute conformity with supreme
court decisions relfting 10 the
income tax, the report explains
the provisions and scope IF the
measure as it would affect indi-
yiduals. 1t says:
While the bill embodies a new
application of taxes, it carries all
the modern philosophy of taxation.
1t proposes to ob!ige the citizen
to contribute annually feir and
just portion of his net gain to the
maintenance of the government.
As already stated th:o ILL, if
enacted into law, will accomplish
in the main, all the purposes Of a
general income tax law and at
the same time escape the disap-
proval of the supreme court, as it
comes we'll within the principles
laid down by that court IN sistAin-
ing TIE constitutionflity of the
corporation law.
To illustrate the equitable
adjustment Of the excise IMw re:
commended, a petsc1 having an
income of less than $4,000 per
year you'd pay moth ng, while a
person whose business earns $10,-
600 net would pay no tax 81 the
first $4,000 and OH tire secc nd$5,-
900 would pay only $50 a year.
Continuing, the report assert that
the bu den of our present indirect
taxation falls upon the people
having incomes of less than $4,000.
The report calls the proposed bill
a combination of the excise tax of
1898 and the corporation tax law
of 1902, both of which have been
held constitutio oy The supreme
court.
Under a sytem of national
taxation based wholly ON consump-
ton, wealth necessarily ectpes its
fair share of the burden of sup
porting, the government, which
gives wealth the necessary pro-
lection under which it inrer ses its
gains.
Whe a citizen pays taxes &C
cordin,I to his earnings, from
whatever source, he gives support
to his government and receives
protection from it IN more equi-
tlhia I amer than urdG: any other
plan o tixati n yet devised. If
bis ca 0inps decrease, so do his
taXaa, ma fortunately for him
because he is less able to pay them.

to tax rn earnings over tares on
bought and sold commodities
namely the rate can he raised or
lowered 10 meet the e>igenc:as of

LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE.

Why is it that we so easily forget
that the little things in life are what
make it easy or hard? A few pleas
ant words, warm hand-clasp, a
cordial letter, are simple things, but
they are mighty in their influence on
the lives of those about us, adding a
ray of hope to many disconsolate
hearts, giving a bit of courage to dis
appointed, weary ones, and helping to
make our own lives sweeter at the
same time. Few people realize how
much the little attentions of everyday
life mean to their associates in the
home, the church, the business place.
1t is generally a lack of consideration
which makes one forget the tiny pleas
antries, but lack of consideration is
really one form of selfishness, and
selfshness is not considered a desir-
able quality. Remember that the
little things in life, either good or bad,
count for more with those we love
than we ever know, and we should be
watchful of our actions and our words.

MAKING LIGHT OF THINGS.

There are things which it we're we'll
if we could all make light of them.
There are those petty, carping words
of criticism which are continually fly
ing through the air, which like a snap
ping, snarling cur at our heels, are a
source of much annoyance. Why should
we permit our sun to be darkened by
the unwarrantable criticisms of those
who lack the elements of the true
gentleman or gentlewoman? Think,
sir said Samuel Johnson to worry
ing friend, how infinitely little that
will seem a twelve-month hence"
And the Christian may well extend
the vision farther. Think, sir, how
infinitely little our light affection,
which is but for a moment, will ap-
pear, in the light of the eternal weight
Of glory"
There is a light-heartedness which
is perfectly consistent with true Chris
tian thinking and living. In the
words of another, Il do not wish you
to be dull. l want your sky to be as
bright as heaven. But as you have
a life to live, and as you have death
to die, do not make light of the great
things of the soul. Do not make light
of duty. Do not make light of purity.
Do not make light of sin. Above all,
in all, through all, do not make light
of Christ. For to be Christ's is man
hood power, victory. And to make
light of Christ is DEATH

YOUNG MEN WHO ARE WANTED.

Today this country of ours needs
young men of virtue, whose aim in life
will be not so much to win success for
themselves as to bring glory to her.
Can she find such young men, and
where? Yes, she can; they form in
general the rank and file of the stu
dents who come forth from Catholic
institutions.
1t is the aim of these schools and
colleges to train the students not only
in religion, but also in matters con-
corning their temporal well-being as
individuals, as members of society, and
as citizens of the land. They learn
something of the secrets of nature, it
is true. They are trained to ways of
culture; but most of all, they are
taught to respect authority, and con-
stitute a strong bulwark against revo-
luton and riot. The Church bids them
to be energetic and honest in their
work; energetic, for their religion not
only teaches constant remuneration, but
also gives strength to practice it; hon
est, for religion supplies them with
motives of the highest kind and urges
upon them the development of good
will.
Willingness to endure hardship is
another feature that should character
ize the Catholic young man. The
Church insti1ls into his heart the grit
and pluck to bear and to overcome
trials and difficulties, reminding him
constantly of the sufferings which
Christ endured to redeem mankind.
This alone suffices to convince such
young man of his duty to bear his
burdens patiently.
Since the Church teaches the young
man to love his neighbor, she also i'm
poses on him the duty of loving and
being loyal to his country. In this
she has met with great success, as is
attested in history's pages. We read
of many Catholic men who have shed
their blood and laid down their lives
for their country's flag.
In business or professional careers,
the Catholic young man is spurred on
by Christian principles to seek the
goal of just ambition, to display clev-
erness and originality in scientific
work, to learn perseverance, and
hence to work with greater sustained
effort in order to achieve his aim. To
these qualities may be added four
others. Upon these the Church has
laid great emphasis. They are: JUS
tice, by which she instructs her sons
to render everyone his due; prudence,
by which their minds are enlightened
as to what they should do; temper
ance, by which they are enabled to
hold a restraining hand on the heed
lessness of impulse and appetite; and
lastly, fortitude, which enables him
to 'give and take" in a Christian sense
to face the foe and endure the pain.
The Church is the only power equip
ped to furnish the proper young man,
and to secure progress and prosperity
to nation in the highest possible de-
gree. Why, then, should not our coun-
try be proud to receive young men
trained in these principles, and willing
to devote themselves to the better
ment of all men, regardless of race or
nationality?

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
OLD ROVER.

Old Rover is the finest dog
That ever ran a race;
His ear SO quick, his foot so feet,
And such an honest face.
My playmate, he, in ev'ry sport,
The moment I begin,
He's always ready for race
And always sure to win.
One day he stole my hat
And ran across the plain,
While loudly laughed man and boy
Who saw me chase in vain.
So tired, at last, sat me down
Upon a green grass-plat,
When, quick, old Rover turned about
And brought me back my hat.
At home, abroad, where e'er I go,
There Rover's sure to be
There never was a kinder dog
Than he has been to me.
