What of the income Tax?

On the presumption that the extr'
session of Congress will enact tariff
law that shall be radical reductio,
from present schedules, including free
wool and free sugar. one of the frs
considerations is the method to be
{ Ia LAD ptef iF4 fhe raising Of safliG =
revenue for government expenses. If
70 provide for this revenue an incom9
| tax law is TO be enacted, the country
is most of all interested in the char
acter and limitations of such n law
4 Sft is to be epxpecterisf that s#Presidetas
Wilson, in his first message TO Con
gress. will make definite and specific
! recommendation concerning the meth
DDS to be adopted-on which the
| Democratic platform is silent. \
strong Democratic paper declares that
such law must be one or the othc%,
| of the following:
1. An income tax for revenue only
| similar in that respect to the tarin tax
for revenue only, which the Baltimore
platform declares to be, funaaineftal
principle of the Democratic party.
? An income tax for the redistribution
| of wealth and the disproportlonate APP
| portienment of the expenses OF Govern
ment; IA tax Just as truly tending to the
| specialization of industry as that Whch
was demanded by the platform OF the
National Socialist party at It's lhdlal-
apolis convention last May.
But with the question of method
decided, another in which the country
is lust as deeply interested arises. 1t
is this: How wide shall be the range
of incomes to be affected?' People
are anxious to know if incomes down
Ia $4,000 are to be reached, or if the
range will be kept as high as $4,000
and above If s106,000,000 per annunr
is 10 be raised on the incomes of the
people, win the Democratic party
place itself upon a plan for redis-
tribution of the country's wealth or
upon method of acquiring sufficient
revenue from those enjoying little
more than a living income and up
ward, to take the place of the revenue
which has been derived upon those
articles of commerce which all the
people buy and thus share the burden
| OF course the people with the very
big incomes are anxious for "popu-
lar" income tax law which, of course
| would mean the very widest applica-
ton of the term, reaching as small m
comes as possible. On the other hand
| the great majority of the people,
| which happens to be those of small
| incomes, wish the tax to be assessed
more heavily upon the big incomes, ID
prevent the great fortunes from grow
| ing too fast, and to allow the rest of
us to catch up little.
1t is to be hoped that President WIZ
son in his message, will enlighten the
public by strong recommendations to
the Congress upon these points. ~

"Whies" in History.

The party in the colonies which pro-
NOTED and backed the revolution took
the name Wings. Their principles
were the same as those of the Wings
OF England, 4only they were made ap-
pllcable to this country In 1884 the
name was revived, the Federal party
having come to an end in 1917. From
that time all American politicians
were simply Republicans. But soon
different views were held by the va
rious members of the party with the
results that factions were formed un-
der their own leaders. Adams, Clay
and their followers believed in a pol
icy OF protection and federal internal
improvements and a broad or loose
construction of the constitution. 9th.
ers, who construed the constitution
strictly. opposed these things and
found a leader in Jackson The for
merstoak the name of National Repub-
aieans. After his defeat their chief
Leader was Clay, whom they nominat-
ted for president in 1881, Their oppo.
sition, to Jackson drew to them va
rious elements, and, as opponents Of
executive usurpation, in 1884 the
coalition took the old name of Wings.
The. Whig body always formed a coal.

two divisions, the northern and

IS FULL OF COMPLEXITIES
Drawback to the Much yaunted Sim
Pile Life Is Tia. 1t Is Not
Simple.

The real drawback to "the simple
life" is that it is not simple. II you
are living it, you positively can do
nothing else. There is not time. For
the simple life demands virtually that
there shall be no specialization. The
hausfrau who is living the simple life
must, after all, sweep, scour, wash
and mend. She must also cook: from
that even Battle Creek cannot save
her.
She may dream sternly of Margaret
Fuller, who read Plato while she pared
apples; but in her secret heart
she knows that either Plato or the ap-
pies suffered. And from what point
of view is it si1epler to have a maid
of all work than to indulge ones self
In liveried lackeys? Not, obviously,
for the mistress; and it is surely SIM
pier to be an adequate second foot
man than to be ar adequate bonne q
tout faire.
We should really simplify life by
naving more servants rather than few
er; more luxury instead Of less. The
smoothest machinery is the most COM
plicated; and which of us wants to
sink the Mauretania and go back TO
Robert Fultons steamboat? One
would think that the decision would
be made naturally for one by ones
income But it is the triumph Of the
new paradox that this is not so.
Thousands of people seem to be In
fected with the idea that by dofn8
more themselves, they bestow leisure
on others; that by wearing shabby
clothes they somehow make it possi-
BILE for others to dress better-though
they thus admit tacitly that leisure
and elegance are not evil things

CATCH FISH In FIELDS
RESULT OF HIGH WATER.
Many Fine Fish Picked Up
Near Streams

Americas fishermen prefer to catch
theirs in the usual way, but others
imbued with less energy have been
picking up fish recently, and without
the trouble of even batting hook. The
overflow from Muckalee creek and
Flint river recently, has left quanti-
ties of fine fish stranded in deep
holes and bitches in the submerged
fields and woods, where negroes have
picked them up by the basketful One
negro thus caught twenty large red
horse" suckers that had left stream
nearby and became stranded in

NO CASES OF CONTAGIOUS
ILLNESS IN AMERICAS
Health Conditions Here Con-
tlnue Excellent

Americas is to be congratulated upon
the excellent health conditions pre-
vailing here at present, as for some
time past although this is wellnigh the
normal state here. At present, how
ever, according to the statement of
City Physician Wade Chambliss, yes
yesterday, there is not a case of con-
tagious illness or disease of any ma
ture in Americas In view OF the
fact that smallpox, diphtheria and SIM
liar dis cases prevail in many sou,n
Georgia towns and cities at this seas
on, and the further fact that not a
case of this nature, or any other con-
tsgeous nature, is to be found in AM
CIRCUS, is a subject of congratulation
and reflects crsditably upon sanitary
andother conditions in a city of its
size and population. Americas IS
proverbially clean and healthful, and
will be kept in that excellent condition
as far as possible.
