she sent. either innocently or with malig-
nant irony. a courier to Nero inform ng
him of her happy escape and inviting his
rejoicings.
Nero was mad with rage and with APP
prehension. How much his mother knew
how much she might later learn from
survivors of the wreck he could only
guess. If she really knew of his plot
she could raise revolt in Rome that
would put his ,nrone in danger. To
openly assassinate her was perlOus-to
let her live was to invite disaster. Ac-
cordingly he sent a body of mercenaries
to her home who did her to death with
swords. Her last words are quoted in
the first paragraph of this article-surely
the most damning heritage that a wicked
but devoted mother could leave to a more
wicked and wholly thankless son.

with exemptions amounting to 81 100 as
the average for English-speaking coun-
tries. not a.great many people are vitality
concerned in the tax when compared TO
the whole population. Taking as a group
England and fourteen OF its colonies and
Hawaii IL Is found that the average ex-
emption is 81 100. and that less than one
person in twenty has to pay an income
tax. In England ITSELF where only those
who have an income of more than $500
have to pay a tax. only one person in
thirty has an income that puts him in the
1nc0me-t ax-paying class 1T therefore
follows that under a system of gradua-
ton such as England has perhaps less
than one person In several hundred has
to pay anymore than a nominal sum-
& No other country in the world so thor
3 oughly recognizes the principle of grad
uation as England and its colonies. While
in the United States graduation
might be taken rs an effort fostered by
demagogues TO shift an undue burden to
men of large incomes. it can be said that
in England fhe leading tax authorities,
men in no wise Influenced by such poiiti-
cal considerations claim that the grad
uated income tax is the only just one, and
that the wholestendency of the times is in
that direction.
When England was considering the
question of applying the principle or
graduation to its .inceme taxes much tes-
timony from all parts of the world was
taken upon the subject. Some asserted
that it would tend to drive capital out
OF the country. A committee which sum-
med UP the conclusions reached from the
testimony obtained declared that the ad
yantages of graduation far outweighed the
disadvantages. Be that it may. nearly
all income tax history shows that when
a country begins TO tax incomes it makes
a fiat rate. and then as efforts are put
forth TO make the tax more responsive
10 the needs sof the nation and the neces-
sites of the, people. graduation and diff
ffrentiation gradually are engrafted into
the plan. Whether America will be an
exception TO this general rule remains
TO be seen. -

one Anicetus. commander of the
Roman fleet. The plan was for Nero
to invite his mother to visit him at
Baiae on the Bay of Naples. where he
and his court were summering. After
treating her with due filial respect and
affection he was TO furnish a vessel to
return her TO her home.
This vessel was cunninGly construct

THE INCOME TAX.
W-Graduating the Tax
BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

Until recent LEGISLATION in some or the
mare progressive states there has been
little effort in the United States TO gradu-
ate income taxes increasing the rate with
expanding incomes. ON the other hand,
i'm. Europe and Australasia the general
tendency has been in that direction Tor
wears There. il has been assumed mat
the right principle of uniformity in taxa
tion is uniformity of burden rather than
uniformity of rate AS the WIDOW mite
was more than the richest gifts that were
placed in the contribution box. because
il was 100 per cent of what she mad.
while the other gifts represented perhaps
only the fraction Of ! per cent or what
their donors had, so a tax OF $50 may nit
the small taxpayer infinitely harder than

The European idea is that each person
shall bca, tax burden delicately ad-
iustcd 10 his ability TO bear it. and that
the larger the income the higher the tax
rat. il can bear without putting an undue
burden upon the taxpayer
There are really TWO forms of gradua-
ridn. and in the parlance of the tax OF

sliding scale of tax rates. applied TO va

upon incomes secured from different
sources. They both aim 10 produce re-
suits that VIII produce equal burdens
upon all classes of taxpayers. With ref

used a remarkable expression to differ

in getting them is the clipping of cou-

Still another form of gradua ton is
that of exempting incomes which fall
