PROPOSED INCOME TAX.

| Intense interest is reported in Wash
ington as to the income tax which ii
ls assumed that Congress will impose
upon the people of this country. But
we arc confident that the States rati.
flying the income tax had no expecta,
tion of its being Immediately applied
1t was felt that such a tax should be
open to imposition by the Government
but that 1T should be levied only i'm
some great emergency, as the former
income tax was levied during the Civil
War in this country.
1t was all the more assumed that the
Democratic party would not immedi-
ately levy an income tax, since that
party had been loud in its denuncia-
tton Of the extravaganza of the Repub-
lican party, claiming that the Repub.
licans were spending vastly more
money than was necessary to conduct
the Government, and that if the Demo
Gratis were put into power they would
see that economy and a lessening of
the public burdens would be put into
immediate effect With this in view,
who could have supposed that an in
come tax would be proposed the very
first thing by the Democrats? And
yet, that is what we are confronted
with, according TO the dispatches from
Washington.
These dispatches show the interest
in this proposed tax to center upon the
rate Of the tax and upon the amount
of income that is to be exempted from
the tax. Surely, here wo have reason
to expect great consideration for the
public on both accounts; first, that
the rate of taxation shall be low, since,
as matter of fact, the Government
does not need the money that the tax
will bring: second, that the amount Of
income exempt from this tax shall be
put at high figure. Undoubtedly a
very great revenue could be raised b.
the imposition of a severe income tax,
but why should it be imposeds If there
is to be an income tax at all. since the
surely we have a right to expect very
low rate and very high exemption.
Even if the Democrats, in their revi-
sion of the tariff, should cut off con-
siderable revenue on the customs side,
there would still, with proper economy
and care for the public interests, be
sufficient money to pay the necessary
expenses Of the Government.
The proposition made right at the
start to impose an income tax shows
anything but an intention to observe
the pledges of economy. 1t shows a
tendency to extrayagant expenditure,
and to the collection of large reve-
nue. that is largely unnecessary for
the purpose of conducting the affairs
Of the Government economically ad-
On this point the Demo
cratic pledge was emphatic and spe-
cific. Let that pledge be kept in good
faith with the American people, or
there will be reckoning for the bad
faith as shown.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS.

The city fathers met last Mon
day in the Commercial Club rooms,
with Mayor Pro Tenn L. NJ. Gee
in the chair. After allowing the
usual grist of bills the matter of
the overflow of Horse Greek was
taken up, and after thorough in
vestigation by the council on the
morning before, concluded that the
said overflow was due to the dam
constructed by M. S. Davis, and the
clerk was instructed to at once
notify Davis to tear out the dam or
suffer the consequences.
The council also went on record
to purchase three grading slips for
use on the roads adjacent to Holly.
An amusing incident, which is
the aftermath of the recent bogus
injunction suit against the Citi.
zens' party from putting their ticket
in the field last April, was the re.
ceipt of letter from the clerk of
court at Trinidad. advising the
council that "Reformer"- w.
E. Fee had filed a motion to reverse
the action of the court in taxing the
costs on the plaintiff. assessing the
costs on the town-which is merely
a play for more time.
