taxes on consumption should be abol-
ished and that part of the government
burdens should be borne by the
wealth of the country was hailed be-
fore the bar of public opinion as being
guilty of extreme radicalism.
Yet even those who condemned the
proposal have enacted a law taxing
corporate wealth and have ceased to
protest against an equitable income
tax that shall fairly distribute part
of the tax burdens of the govern
ment on incomes derived from all
classes Of property.
The tendency of our times I'M
doubtedly is toward greater freedom
of thought, uplift to humanity, abol-
ishment of governmental privilege,
equalization of the taxation burdens
and an open, honest administration of
the laws.
What may be regarded as radical to-
day may be the inner citadel of con-
servatism tomorrow.
