FOR A STAMP TAX
Let 1t Be Substituted for the Income
Tax and Please the Kickers

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos OF the justly unpopular
income tax, permit me 10 suggest its re-
peal. and in its stead tax similar TO the
one used so successfully in France. e.,
stamp tax on all checks. paid bills and
receipts of all kinds theatre. railroad,
steamer and Pullman tickets. automobiles,
horses. carriages. watches and all Jew
ery This method taxes the rich ard
those who can afford it only. while the
poor and those who do without so free.
In brief, Oh every known luxury, and on
everything that most people think they
must have in order to exist.
This would not be class tax, tax on
thrift, industry, frugality and prosperity.
A tax paid by about 400 000-9o, 100 01oths OF
our population, and only a minute part
thereof" IL will be paid by us in the
Eastern states principally, while the West
erners go free and laugh at Us in their
sleeves. And. again, such tax collects
Itself and is a clear gain to the govern
ment with no collection fees or expenses
OF any kind attached. Many things are
impossible, I know, and one of them is 10
please everybody, but right and equity
should rule and reign. And then there
can be no more excuse for us kickers and

1.-THE BARBAROUS SLEEPING CAR
An Expert Exclaims on the Pleasures
of Dressing in a Berth

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial on Canon Hannay's
criticism Of the American sleeping car
deserves some attention from people who
are accustomed to using sleeping cars.
There is an art in using a sleeping car,
just as there Is in using a pen.
When people first begin using sleeping
cars they experience much difficulty while
undressing and redressing but very 1T
tie practice overcomes most Of the dill
cuties. Your canon r1ust be very small
type OF gun TO rail as he does over
tr1ing difficulties.
\ railway sleeping car does not lend
itself to luxurious bedroom suites, but
the designers OF sleeping cars have dis
played extraordinary ingenuity In max
ing the best Of the room at their dis
posal and they deserve praise rather than
blame for their performance.
The writer has reposed in sleeping cars
in nearly all countries where such lux
uries are provided. and is therefore in a
position To make fair comparisons. The
British sleeping car is more exclusive than
the ordinary run OF sleeping cars used on
this side Of the Atlantic. but IL accommo-
dates fewer persons 10 the cubic area OF
the car and is a fragile vehicle. liable
