Of the department to designate no

OF what had been done.

Ihere was no telling what form OF

saw as clearly as any man at how nice

the income tax amendment, tlirty-fvt
have ratified it, with only four dissent
ing. Their problem is one not of pur-
pose or politics, but only of method
They must determine only how they
shall do this thing commanded of the
people.
The problem how to make the in
come tax effective by statute is, how
ever, problem large enough to require
the best abilities that the whole Con-
grcss can give to its performance. 1t
is not a matter which, because destined
to be, can be allowed to drift unat-
tended into its proper place of useful
ness. Statements from Democrats in
the House would indicate that the bill
to be prepared is to follow broadly the
Underwood excise tax bill OF last year,
which provided tax OF l per cent on
all net incomes of 5000 or more de-
rived from business activity. But the
question of rates of taxation, especially
in their relation to ''unearned incomes, y
such as are derived from estates and
not from effort. will be hard enough
and large enough, and Congress must
not look so fondly upon its opportunity
as to underestimate the difficulties of
its duty.
Upon the income tax bill may depend
the fate of the entire revenue system
of the United States. 1t is regarded
by many as making an end of the high
protective system of import duties. A
few look upon its adoption even as the
forernner of free trade. Legislation
of such high potentiality as this requires
both a strong and an exquisite touch
The income tax amendment is an op-
portunity not merely to perform party
pledges and prove party leaders, but to
try out the statesmen of the United
States by measuring them against the
labor of almost radically modifying the
Federal governments power of taxation
TO meet the requirements of the people
Opponents of the income tax have
vigorously opposed il on the ground
that it is a tax on success, that if a
man possesses the ability to make
money, it should not be taken from him
in order to help out those who can't.
The income tax is bound TO be pop
ular among those who are exempt from
its provisions and correspondingly dis
tasteful to those who are not. There
is, however, room for compromise. No
man who pays the tax will be willing
to change places with any man who
does not; and those below the taxing
point will strive TO reach it.

MISPLACED OPTIMISM

The get-rich-quick madness is sapping
the vitality OF American manhood in
another way. Like a cancer it is eat

industry. honesty. prudence thrift and
unselfshness. Together with the mad
quest for pleasure it is destroying nearly
all that is good and noble in our na-

all right simply because il is in America.

corrected by the organized efforts OF all
Christian optimists, of whom he took

The Single Term Resolution.

Amending the Constitution to limit
the service of the President to a single
term of six years is easier said than
done. The Senate, by the bare two
thirds necessary vote, Saturday adopted
a proposed amendment. 1t was report
cd by Senator CumminS from the Judi
ciary Committee only after careful study
by that body of eminent lawyers. 1t was
nevertheless Immediately given con-
struction which they never thought of.
Senator Works and others on Friday
declared that if the proposed amend
ment were ratified by three-fourths OF
the States, at any time before the cx-
piration of the four-year term OF Pres
ident Wilson, that term will automati-
cally be extended two years longer.
Although at first concurring in this
view, Senator Cunmins, after investi-
cation, expressed the opinion that Mr..
Wilson's term would not thus be ex-
tended, but he admitted that the reso-
luton was far from clear and declared
that doubt should be removed.
He is right The resolution should
say what it means and mean what it
says. To send 10 the States for their
ratification an amendment, the effect of
which is in doubt. would be bad legis-
lation and bad policy tending 10 bring
the Constitution into disrcpute The
Senate rejected Sundry amendments
providing that the amendment should
not take effect until after March l..
1917. Tins would operate to exempt
Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft,
and Woodrow Wilson from the Presi-
dency. Any or all of them, under an
amendment so adopted, might run for
President in 1910. and, if elected, serve
for six years. But these amendments
were rejected, as also was one spccif-
cally providing that the term OF the
occupant OF the Presidency when the
amendment is ratified shall be extended
for two years
To leave the matter indefinite means
that the amendment will be considered
in State Legislatures from partisan
rather than 4 statcSmanlikc standpoint.
If the amendment as proposed by the
Senate promises to extend Gov. VII
sons term for two wears. his party
might be tcr1Otcd greatly to railroad Il
through the House and get it before

Democrats in Congress the privilege

long Standing promise 10 revise the
tariff, and the income tax, if it is as
productive as anticipated. will supply
about SIoo,ooo.ooo of the revenues
which would be eliminated by the cut
ting down of duties on imports. When
the Underwood excise tax of l per
cent, practically an extension of the
corporation tax law to business not
contemplated by that law, was passed
by the House at the last session of
Congress, it was calculated to supply
about 100000 as an offset to the
reduction in revenues contemplated as

Of you who aspire to care for the sick
