Should Help Working Glass.

The biggest, the most significant
and the most inspiring event Of
the week has been the indorse-
ment of the income tax by more
than three-fourths of the states in
the Union. thus clearing the way
for the adoption of this equitable
method Of defraying part Of the
cost of governing the country.
The rich do not now pay a proper
proportion of the nations expenses.
The income tax will help to remedy
this.
Just what terms will be decided
upon can not be foretold. Should
the minimum income to be taxed be
$4,000 a year or $4,000? Should the
rate-the per cent rate, the levy per
800, that is-be the same on in
comes of $4,000 as on incomes of
$4,000 or 100000?
There is room for difference of
opinion on these points. Person
ally. I think the minimum should
be quite low-very low. Then 1t
seems to me that the British law,
imposing a higher rate upon gigan-
tic incomes, is not objectionable.

IkXX THAT impression is the ma
wv tional procession making
on your mind?' That
question | have been putting to
men in various walks of life. The
replies, grouped may be thus sum
married.
Financiers and bankers are in
clined to be pessimistic; they do
not know where the procession may
lead to.
Business men are fairly cheer
full; trade is good, and though tar
if uncertainty acts as restraint,
prospects are considered tolerably
bright
Brokers are in the doldrums
Railroad managers are beset by
many problems-how to raise need
ed capital, how to placate labor,
how to keep costs from encroach-
ing upon dividends.
Laboring classes find that prices
Of nccessaries have declined APP
preciably. though not enough, but
they look for some measure of re-
lief from the imposition of the in
come tax upon the well-to-do. from
the impending reduction of the tar
if on articles of common use and
from the general tendency to treat
labor more considerably. There
are, however, many rebellious work
ers who lean toward extreme radi-
caIism. including socialism.
The deduction to be drawn, after
hearing all sides, is that the United
States is confronted with months
Of unsettIement, but that the tur-
MOL should leave the great body Of
the people better off than before
