ing get out and use a road drag anc
see how you can improve the roads
If the ruts and holes are filled ir
the roads will pack smooth. You
will be surprised how much it will
Improve them and 1t will show you
really favor good roads. Try it.
| The matter of good roads for our
county demands the attention of
every citizen. They are coming too
slow and we believe the people are
ready to vote for bonds, if plan is
gotten up that will divide the money
and work. The the tax payers are
ready to support it. The towns of
our county need good roads leading
in from every direction, feeders
teat will put the farmers and mer-
chants in closer touch and make
both prosperous. This should be
the object in building roads. Make
it convenient for the farmer to get
to and from market, then the towns
will grow and you will see the farm
ers become more prosperous. Here
is an object lesson that shows the
disadvantage of bad and the advan-
tage of good roads. Mr.. Wester
Dunton hauls his potatoes II miles
to market. When the roads were
bad he loaded two two-horse wag-
ons going to Marietta. When he
reached the macadam road at Kirk
Chapel, four miles from town all of
the potatoes were put on one wagon
and carried with ease on to town,
the other wagon turning back.
Now figure a little for yourself and
see how much he could save in get
ting one crop of 1900 bushels of
potatoes to market. We have
passed the experimental stage.
What we want is real roads.
Eva, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. viii Terry, has been quite

The neighbors met Wednesday to
help Will Terry put the roof on his

DuBose Monday.
Mrs. Mary Seagraves has had
telephone installed and now connects
with the Lost Mountain exchange.
We appreciate editor Carter's
Washington letters. Hope he will
give us one regularly every week.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-25

University calls attention to a remark
able omission that was made in the
argument of the income tax cases in
testing the constitutionality of the in
come tax law of 1894. One of the prin-
cipal aims of that proceeding was to
discover just what the Constitution
meant when it inhibited the levying of
direct taxes except by apportionment
among the states, as to determine
whether income taxes were included In
that category. In 1896 WashingtOn's
Secretary of the Treasury, Oliver VOL
cott drew up what afterward became
a famous sta tement on direct taxes in
the several states. In discussing taxes
on profits resulting from certain en-
pigments. he said that it was pre-
sumed that taxes of this nature can
not be considered as of that descrip-
ton which the Constitution requires TO
be apportioned among the states. That
their operation is indirect and that
they are perfectly certain arguments
in their favor"
This striking statement gives the
best view that may be found of the
Interpretation of the Constitution that
the men who made it put upon it. and
yet in not one Of the voluminous brief:
or arguments of that case was it re-
ferred to. Since the states have
adopted the income tax amendment
however, the comparative promptness
with which they did it seems to prove
that they regard the tax as one within
the province of the federal govern
ment rather than that Of the states
and it will be interesting to watch
whether those states which have in
come tax laws will continue to levy
the tax on incomes that are taxed
under the proposed federal law.

Suffrage and Mothers Pensions.

Fourteen states Of the Union now

of the nine suffrage states have passed

thirty-nine non-suffrage states, only
eight have passed them, and in four of
these eight states-Iowa, South Dakota.

same legislature which voted over

obtaining the ballos, and here is long
list OF states in which women have Sc
cured this additional properly right since
they secured the ballot.
In the enfranchised states the fact
that they have the ballot was a help
TO them in getting the pensions. The

THE INCOME TAX:
XVII.-State Income
Tax Laws.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

A large number of individual states
Of the Union have enacted income tax
laws. Ever since jamestown and Ply
mouth Rock efforts have been made to
adjust taxation burdens to the ability
to bear them. First. in colonial days.
II took the form of faculty tax"
which can scarcely be called an income
tax. since it simply taxed the ability
Ia earn rather than the amount of in
come. For instance, it presumed that
a lawyer was better able TO make
money than a grocery clerk, and he
was taxed accordingly, although at
that moment he might be a briefiess
lawyer whose principal income was
the satisfaction he could get out of
waiting for clients. Likewise the doc,
tor was supposed to be able to earn a
better living than the farm laborer,
and he was taxed accordingly, al
though his office rent might at that
moment exceed his income from his
practice.
TINS was about as near an approach
IL an income tax as there was in the
colonies and states before the ratinca-
ton of the Constitution. And mas
much as il taxed all lawyers alike. al
though one might make ten times as
much as another. all doctors alike, al
though one might have dozen pa
tients where another had one. 1t can
scarcely be considered just or equf-
table much less tax on income.
one or the most recent az we'll as
one Of the most Interesting of the
state income tax laws is that enacted
by Wisconsin in 1911. Under it in
come is supposed 10 include all rent
from real estate, with the estima ed
rental value of residence property oc-
cupied by the owner thereof: all in
terest received, all wages, salaries and
fees except those received by pubic
