THE INCOME TAX LIMIT.

20 the income tax Law putting the
limit down so as TO make incomes Of
one thousand dollars taxable. The
amendment is fair and reasonable.

thousand dollars as the lowest on

ses comprehension. Certainly men
who make one thousand dollars per
year or between one thousand and
four thousands dollars ought to bear
their fair share OF tho tax burdens.
They are not objects Of charity. and
they are not entitled to escape n
imposition that applies 10 other indi-
viduals.
The only sensible reason for fixing
a minimum limit on the income tar
is {" prevent the burden OF taxation
