ART FOR THE PEOPLE


To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. IL has been suggested that the city

ing the Morgan art collection. Such an
expenditure would obviously be trifiing
compared with the benefits that would
inure from the public possession Of such
priceless treasures. but II seems TO me

penditure. but. rather. accessibility; how
the people may. under the most favor

All in the Same Boat.

The debate in the House of Representatives on

because most of the debaters felt that they were
discussing something which had already been fuiiy

deliberately voted in programme of downward
revision

That is evidently Mr.. Dippels view, for in an

Grating on New York.

Should New York City be compelled to pay
$4,000 a year in order to keep Assemblyman John
Il. Yale and two or three other members of the
Legislature in the good graceS of their constituents!
Apparently the members Of the Rules Committee
Of the Assembly do not think that sum too much
to levy on New York City for the political benefit
of one of its members. The bill to stop the local.
ties through which this city's water system passes
from becoming parasites is being held up in that
committee in spite of its obvious justice aud in
spite of the general support which il enjoys
The custom of those localities is TO tax this city
heavily for tunnels built hundreds Of feet beneath
the surface as improvements" upon the land
which the city owns II is even expected that a
road which the city is building for the use Of the
public in the water supply region will be assessed
al S1OO0OOO or 50 and heatily taxed by the local.
ties benefited by its construction
This is simply graft Perhaps that is the reason
why the Legislature is so tender toward it.

THE MODEST INCOME TAX
It Will Be Only a Fifth of the Brit
ish Rate. Says a Reader

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view Of there being a great
deal of growing about the income tax bill
now before Congress. il may not be UNI
desirable 20 draw comparisons between
that existing in Great Britain and the
proposed one in this country, by which it
will at once be seen what a slight charge
is being made upon incomes here as COM
pared TO those in Great Britain.
Income tax was first imposed in Eng
land by Pitt in 1875 to meet the expenses
Of the French wars. and was abolished
ih 1901. but reimposed under the title Of
property tax in 1903. and remained in
force until 1916, In 1872 Sir Robert Peel
imposed income tax al the rate of pence

exceeding tl5o $500. Since that date this
tax has become an important source Of
revenue and Yielded for the year ended

The Belgian demand. which is apparently about TO

There arises in England another demand. as logical
