Eject Upon Expenditures.
There is one point of view concern
ing the income tax which has not yet
been discussed and which is deserving
of consideration.
Many Democrats believe that with
the imposition of the income tax will
come keener interest in governmental
expenditures and a demand for
greater economy. They argue that un-
der present conditions the bulk of the
people are little concerned as to ap-
preparations, because they, do not con-
tribute directly to the support of the
national government. When they be-
gin to pay their money into the hands
of Federal tax collectors they will be
apt to inquire more closely into the
manner in which that money is ex-
pended, just as they do now in States,
counties, and municipalities.
If this view of the situation be ac-
curate, and it seems logical, one eff
feet of the imposition of the income
tax will be the disappearance of the
so-called pork barrel bills" which
have been scandal and a shame in
more than one Congress. The men
who vote for them might as we'll re-
sign.
Relying Upon President Wilson.
The political situation is not only
full of interest, but of uncertainty 1t
is not too much to say that the Dem
ocrats would view the future with
much less equanimity if it were rot
for the faith. which they have in
President Wilson He has done so
well up to the present time that they
believe he will continue to make good.
He has shown positive mind, with
firmness that is not obstinacy; he
has been dramatic wikhout being err
ratio; he seems to be an excellent
judge of character, and, above all, he
is sensible and human. These are help
full qualities. They invite cooperation
and federation.

it is to stimulate class hatred and in
vite trouble.
There is still another faction in the
party which realizes that the $4,000
minimum is applicable to merchants,
professional men, and even farmers
in almost every community. The
men with these incomes are inhuen-
tial members of their respective COM
munities, without being wealthy
enough to excite envy, and it is feared
that they will resent the visit of the
tax collector. The income tax, be it
remembered, is direct and personal,
while the tariff tax is indirect and i'm
personal If. in addition to this, there
should come commercial distress be-
cause of the large influx of foreign
goods, and the country is taxed $780,
100000 a year in addition, the storm
of protest will be long and loud.
Many Democrats at the Capitol also
believe that the minimum figure should
be $4,000 They argue that a tax
should not be levied upon the money
which a man earns to support and
educate his family in decent fashion,
but only upon the amount which he
receives in excess of reasonable
sum- There is certain to be an amend
ment of this nature proposed in the

for a constitutional amendment to
