MANY PERSONS OF WEALTH AND
INFLUENCE MEMBERS OF LEA.
CUE THAT WILL ADVANCE
RURAL MOVEMENT.

Make the rural community A
reality and not a myth" Is to be the
slogan of the National Forward to
the Land League whose executive
hoard, consisting of persons promi-
ment in financial and conservation
matters met this week at Washing
ton.
Mrs. Haviland II. Lund. organizer
and chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the league, has, ii is stated.
interested in the cause a number of
men who are financially able to helm
ont and have assured her that they
will. Among the members of the ad-
yisory board are Lyman j. Gage, for
mer secretary of the treasury; Pro-
fessor J. II. Francis, superintendent
Phoebe A. Hearst. Pleasanton, Cal;
lack London. Glen Ellen, Cal: Ell
bert Hubbard. East Aurora. N. Y.
r II. Newell, director of the re-
elamation service. and Terrence Y.
Powderly, chief of the division of i'm
migration. are members OF the COM
mittee on rural credits.
The object of the league is to aid
in establishing a really non-commer-
cial organization in this country that
shall take up the actual teaching of
the people on the subjects of rural
co-operation and intensive agricul-
ture. Business men have sent Mrs.
Lund land circulars and plans for CO.
operative cities. cooperative banks
and local organizations.
Mrs. Lund and her associates be-
live that the farming communities.
so called. are situated entirely too
far from civilization to attract many
who would otherwise engage in agri-
culture. Accordingly they propose
to establish farming communities in
various sections and through them
build up a sentiment In favor of a
return to the farm" The idea Is
that these communities shall enjoy
the same advantages as those pos
sessed BY the residents of cities.

TAX THOSE Who
CAN BEST PAY
SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE
SEES CARVE DANGER IN POPU-
LAR ASSAULT ON RICHES
HONESTLY ACQUIRED.

The following will be read with in
terest as representing the views of
Senator Lodge, on the subject of the
income tax. The address was made
in the senate August 2S, and while
not in opposition to the income tax
bill, in a general sense. is a plea for
treating the matter with reasonable
conservatism. Sentor Lodge is the
senior member of the Massachusetts,
delegation in congress, and has been
particularly in the news dispatches
the past week, following an operation
for gastric ulcer. For several days
his life was dispaired of, but late re-
ports are more satisfactory and the
chances seem good that his life and
usefulness are to be spared. Senator
Lodge is 81 years old.
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1913-10-05

ports are more satisfactory and the
chances seem good that his life and
usefulness are to be spared. Senator
Lodge is 64 years old.
A burden on the earning capacity
of a community is a very serious
thing. The earning capacity of a
community. which is the motive pow
er of prosperity. is something which
it is desirable under every civilized
government to encourage. 1t is not
wise to throw too heavy a proportion
of the burden upon the earning cap
acity of any community. The men
who draw the load should not be
overweighted or disheartened. Eng
land has finally met this difficulty In
a degree at least by defferentiating
between the tax derived from earned
income and the tax derived from I'M
earned income.
The tax which the man pays over
Al NOuuNtI 10 int Olt nt lfdllLta.
When he walks up to the taxgather-
er in his town and finds that his rate
has been raised he takes an interest
in the administration of the business
of the town. But as to the indirect
tax, the tax that the man pays or
alcoholic liquors, if he chooses TO
drink, or the tax that he pays on
tobacco, are not only indirect but
voluntary taxes, and he does not
know, as a matter of fact. whether he
pays them or not. He pays them, but
he does not feel them. The difference,
moreover. between what one may
consume and what another consumes
in the way of food and drink and
tobacco and raiment is not very
great, for the power of consumption
of the individual can not vary very
largely. and he who lives and
chooses most extensively pays most
in taxation. But income Is a direct
tax; and this country has hardly
known direct taxes except in times
of war.
A man who has $1,000 income per
annum and pays 81 a year as income
tax to the United States government
is not, / think, bearing too heavy a
burden, but he is realizing what his
government is doing. which is of
enormous value and makes him
thereby a better citizen. He realizes
that he is responsible for the govern
ment as never before. There has
been no greater misfortune to this
country than what we have seen in
every great city, and that is that the
men who pay no taxes spend the
revenues. The result is inevitably ex-
travagence and corruption. Men are
always ready to spend some one else's
money.
Look at the history of our NUM-
cipal governments. They are not q
subject of pride to n American.
But III every man IN those communl-
ties had paid his tax, if it was only
, cents, and if he knew that if the
money was extravagently spent il
might be 10 cents, he would have
had more care about spending the
public money, about the men he elect
ed. and about the administration of
his local government. One great
reason for the extravaganza we have
had in our national government. in
my judgment, arises from the fact
that almost all our revenues have
been raised by indirect taxation.
No tax can be perfect; but it
should be the effort of the govern
ment and of the taxing power to i'm
nose the tax. IL II be an income tax.
