Faults in the Income Tax Scheme.

REPRESENTATIVE Hull Of Tennessee, the author Of
the income tax section Of the Wils0n-t Underwood
tariff bill IS vague and dsingenuous in his state
ment Of the for fixing the limit of exemption
from taxation AT $4,000. He is reported as telling
the Democratic House caucus that by putting the
limit as high $1,000 all necessity for making
special exemptions would be avoided But That con
cusion is forced and illogical If II is equitable to
discriminate in favor Of class of taxpayers and
against another class, the reason for the diScrmi
nation remains whether the exemption is put NJ
5000 $1,000 or $4,000
For example. if it is thought advisable TO graduate
the exemption according the size Of the Taxpayers
family the man with children to support ought 10
enjoy the same discount compared with the man who
has no dependent family, whatever the figure at
which taxation begins. Merely raising the limit a
little cannot wipe out the irregulariiy.
similarly the discrimination made in Mr.. lIull's
bill against the man who pays rent and in favor Of
the man who owns the house in which he lives is as
Objectionable under one limit under another Mr.
HUI wants 70 compel the man who pays rent TO
count the money he eXpends for that purpose as part
of his income while he permits the man who lives
i'm his own house 10 ignore the income represented by
The rental value of the property. Under the Wis
cousn STATE income tax law both classes are put on
the same footing and they should be treated alike
whatever the size of the lump sum exemption.
Mr. Hull also says that IT wouldn't pay the gov
eminent 10 try 10 collect taxes on incomes of less
than $1,000 That is an assumption absolutely UNI
supported By experience. -Four thousand dollars is
the highest exemption on record. \ tax-was col

low as $500 In England the exemption is $3.50 for

BOMBAST AND LAKE ERIE
The Victory of Perry Is Poor Thing
in British Eyes.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 4 nation can hardly be- expected TO
measure with strict impartiality its recent
military glories; but one hundred years
ought TO be sufficient time in which TO
rectify its historical perspective. This re
mark is prompted by the monumental
honors about TO bee paid to the memory
of Commodore Perry. the victor Of Lake
Erie.
At the battle Of Lake Erie the forces
at the command of Commodore Perry
were so Overwhelmingly superior 10 those
Of the English Captain Barclay that only
utter Incompetence on Perry's part could
have brought defeat. AS ii was. Barclay
manpuvred his ships so well and the
Canadians and English who manned them
fought so CALAMITY that victory came
very near TO turning the other way Had
such been the case the battle OF Lake
Erie would have cut SO insignificant a
figure among England's real naval battles
that IL would have been forgotten along
with scores of other minor engagements
which her fleets have won or lost The
rather ludicrous anti-climaN of Perry's
famous dispatch reveals the true proper
tlons Of this excessively magnihed en-
counter The tull report read: we have
met the enemy and they are ours-two
ships. two briggs. one schooner and one
sloop."
Further light on the magnitude of this
action is thrown by the fact that one OF
the thirty eight ships which composed the
fleet beaten by Nelson at Trafalgar. the
Santisima Trinidad. alone carried thirteen
more guns than the combined American
aud English fiotlllas at Lake Erie An
other fact which may help In properly
estimating the proportions of this aud
other battles OF the War of 1872 is that
the entire personnel OF the American
navy, men and officers, at that time
numbered only little more than
one-half the killed and wounded on
the French side OF the battle of the
Nile. Facts of this kind ought TO help
somewhat In debating the bombast with
which the anniversary OF Lake Erie is
celebrated. S r.

Peace Comes Back with Its MusSed-Up

Mr. Clark is within the truth in saying that 1T
els beyond the power of Colonel Bryan or any one

within his grasp for according to an unwutten
rule of the Democratic party the candidate who
has received a majority of the votes in national
convention has always been considered entitled TO
the support of the minority and has received d two
thirds nomination. That rule was broken at Bal

broke it.
Nevertheless, il is always becoming in statesmen

for amicable cooperation. Too many personal
