cause they we're the ones to put up the money.
With ninety millions of people we might per-
hans muster up eighteen millions OF men. 1t is
2 generally recognized fact that there IS not one
man out of twenty whose income reaches the
present limit of $4,000. Ii one person out OF
twenty. or one-twentieth of the eighteen MIL
lions of men Of the United States were COM
pe]led to pay the income tax they would make a
sort of preferred or non-preferred list OF 9Oo-
600 persons. 70 be named On the income tax
list would at once put these persons into a class
bv themselves, something like those who wear
diamonds or have automobiles, a class that the
nnhlic thinks ought to be taxed. This thinking
Is generally brought about by the inability OF
the other four-ffths of the people, or at least OF
the electorate, to earn enough money to be
liable for this aristocratic tax.
Louisiana is a comparatively poor state ana
on a Sc, 900 limit there will be many parishes IN
this state wherein not a single man will be call
ed upon to pay the income tax.
All Of the agricultural estates would lind
themselves generally exempted in this way. II
IS rather a curious situation, that OF taxing a
certain class. The Minute we begin to tax
classes they might be taxed because OF some
form Of religious faith, but such taxation is
prohibited by the constitution. They might be
taxed perhaps on account OF their sex, as there
is no special prohibition in the matter OF sex
taxation in the constitution, perhaps all OF the
women could be exempted from the income tax.
10 make the matter a little ridiculous, we might
90 further and say that colored men, or red
headed men might be, exempted from such tax.
alton. OF that they alone should be taxed, just
as congress during the civil war put ten pei
cent tax on the circulation of state banks, uslne
that method to drive them out Of that phase o.
the banking business, the issuance of clrcula
ton money. We shall soon have some exper
fences though with this new tax and then per
hans we can have better ideas as to its effect

The Incidence OF the Income Tax.

TIE limiting of the income tax to incomes
of SIS, coo and over is presenting some peculiar
problems resulting from the democratic tidal
wave that has rolled over the country and given
us a complete democratic congress and a demo-
cratic president. We don't intend to argue
over again the improperly Of the income tax,
the taxing Of mans ability rather than his ac-
eumulated capital, but intend to call attention
to the fact that the income tax promises now to
be very discriminatory and not to be levied on
the people as is all taxation theoretically in ac-
cordance with some well settled principle. The
income taxis a civil tax and is collectable by
any civil process where the party has assets.
Some of those who have been studying the
matter are led to the conclusion that any fair
and equitable taxation of income ought not to
have any exemption. If there be any exemp-
ton, the exemption should be at a very low
figure so that the smallness of it would still
leave a large number Of tax payers. As it is
now, it would seem that a sort Of a selected or
elected class would pay all of the income tax
and while they would be footing the bills OF the
government in this way, they would naturally
corne in and make claims for sneeial SataTa be-

The history Of secrecy makes
long black smudge down the
page of time.
Nothing is truer than the say
inc that "the wicked love dark
ness rather than light and this
proyerb has a bearing we usually
do not suspect.
We assume it to have reference
to robbers, footpads, sneak
thieves, mutinous seamen ana
homebreakers. 1t does. 1t also
refers, however, to any other
group Of people who work IN the
shade.
You can set it down in your
book that any business for which
the claim is made that it is bet
ter to transact it under cover;
that it is unwise to have 1T IN
yestigated, and that the public
has no right to NEEDLE in it, it IS
crooked. Of course, this does
not include affairs Of q purely
personal nature but only such
matters as have to Go with the
public.
The whole history of govern
ment, before the day of news
papers, is a record Of tyranny
and unjust privilege. So long as
the common here was ruled by q
select few who presumed to 90
better by the people than the
people could do for themselves,
the result invariably was luxury
and fine feathers for the elect
and starvation and rags for the
many. !,
The story Of the old world, Of
China, ancient japan, Egypt,
Greece and Rome, is the story
of secrecy and outrage.
Whenever you find secret coun-
ellis Of kings, diplomats whisper
ing behind their hands, senators
cumshoeing round and trust
magnates mumbling in a back
room you may be sure that the
public is about to be looted.
