A tuberculosis Bulletin

The Maryland Association for the
Prevention Relief of Tuberculosis
has just issued the first of a series of
bi-monthly bulletins to its members
and the public in an effort to disse-
inmate information about the various
activities for the suppression of tuber-
eulosis In the state and to give an ae-
count of its own stewardship. This
first bulletin states the association
program for 1918, which includes
the carrying on Of an investigation
OF the problem of tuberculosis in the
negro race, the continuing of an ex-
hlbit car in cooperation with the
railways Of the state, the establish
ment of an additional tuberculosis
nurse outside of Baltimore, main
tenance of an open air school in Bal
timore, the organization of a month
ly conference of persons engaged in
tuberculosis work in Baltimore. and
the continuation of the associations

Washington Letter.

Washington, Feb. l3,-Few per
sons realize the far reaching impor-
lance of the fact that the United
states will soon have an income Tax
on its statutes.
First of all it means that inlliioh
o;ras will, for the first time since this
nation has stood, bear a fair proper
ton of the burden of taxation
1t is estimated that one hundred
million dollars will be raised annual
" by taxing incomes. This VIII
mean that that amount of taxation
is to be taken off of the things that
the people must have in order to
live and placed on wealth.
Under the system of protection as
played in this country, nearly every
penny of the money necessary to run
the government, maintain the army
and navy. construct public buildings,
etc. is raised by taxing the thing'
the people eat, wear and use. The
only thing that protection does not
tax is wealth. A man with Tor
time of ten million dollars has not
been required to pay a single penny
of tax TO the national government
This seems almost unbelievable, bu
il is true. The man working on th'
section for one dollar and fifty cent
per day. with family Of five child
rem, is at the present time actually
contributing more 10 run the nation

bachelor, too proud to marry an
raise family.
The United States Of America }
practically the only one Of the grea
nations where such a condition cN
lists. Nearly every first class natioi
on earth levies either an income IA,
or an inheritance tax. We hay'
neither.
Why have we never been able Il
place an income tax on the statute
books is the question that NATURAL,
arises. Here is the answer: Hipl
