INCOME TAX METHODS.

1t has taken but a little over a
months trial to show that the require
ments for collection of the income tax
through deduction at the source" are
obnoxious. Not only has is imposed
the expense of collecting the tax on
compensation, but the foreign market
for American securities is being demon
allied. Foreign investors have begun
to dump such securities on the mar
ket. This does not bring any gain to
the government and will have disas
trous financial results. Although Sec
rotary McAdoo prided himself on hav-
ing solved all the puzzles of interpre-
tation of the law, his recent issue of
revised regulations is confession that
he has had no better luck with its be-
wildering complexities than divers
other persons who have sought to COM
prehend them.
The Indianapolis chamber of COM
MERGE has drafted a memorial on the
subject, setting out the difficulties be-
fore mentioned, and pleading with
congress to modify the present pro-
visions for deduction at the source.
The memorial suggests that reasona-
BILE and practicable methods be devised
which will enable the government to
obtain at the source information for
enforcing correct returns from tax
payers without obstruction of business
facilities. The protest is not against
payment of the tax or even against Its
graduated features, but solely against
its cumbersome and annoying method
of collection.
The last valid income tax imposed
by this government yielded much rev.
enue without the scheme of deduction
at the source" The individual merely
made an affidavit at to his income and
paid his tax on that basis. There was
a severe penalty for failure to return |
the required affidavit and for false and |
misleading statements. 1t was made |
at the end of the year, when the tax
pay Ci hou aii lhC LIS VI co DCioiC hiih.
Now the taxpayer must practically de-
termine at the beginning of the year
whether he is exempt from the tax or
not The individual must be prophet i
and be able to swear whether he will
have to pay the tax at all or in what
class he will be at the end of the year. I
Bad luck in the middle of the year may l
throw an individual into lower grade
or exempt him altogether, after part of
the tax has been deducted. On the
other hand man may at the beginning
Of the year think he is exempt from
the tax or that he is in one Of the
ower grades, and the development of
he years business may make him liza
Die to the tax or place him in higher
lass. The old system was simpler and
better The percentage of thieves in
,ur population is small and by provid-
ng severe criminal penalties and CIV
ng the government facilities for as
information enough at the
ource to enforce correct returns the
LANCER may be eliminated and ordinary
BUSINESS be relieved from the present
exatious requirements.

Gustave Carpenter, the composer of

The Christmas Spirit.
The Christmas spirit is In the air
but there is less enthusiasm In 1t than
for several years. There are so many
people out of work in London and the
demand Of the poor assistance are so
great that the sight of suffering has
dampened the ardor Of many holiday
merry-makers The stores are suffer-
ing from decrease In business and
thousands of people who could depend
upon extra work during the holidays
are without something to do.
Many M0hammedans.
Although it seems incredible, there
are nearly 1000 Mohammedans resident
in London itself, the majority, of
course, being natives of India, who are
merchants or law students, though
some are Britons. A plan is afoot
among these followers of Mohammed
to erect a new and splendid mosque,
on that of Delhi, which will
cost no less than 100000.
