CANNOT DODGE
AN INCOME TAX
No Haven for the Unhappy
POssessor of Millions.
NOTHING GAINED BY FLIGHT
Views OF Various Members OF Con-
gress Who Have Been Instru-
mental In Having the Law
Put On the Books.

Washington, D. C.-Framers of the
American Income Tax Law are not
worried by the capitalist fugitives who
are expatriating themselves to escape
the tax.
Leaders said:
Representative Underwood: If it be
true that American millionaires are
seeking asylum in England to escape
the American income tax, they will be
hurt more than they now know.
think there must be another reason
why they should seek the sovereignty
of Great Britain, and it might be in
their love for a monarchy over their
love for a republic.
Representative Hull, Tennessee
(framer of the Income Tax Law The
American tax on small incomes is less
than England's tax. 1t is less, in fact,
than the income tax levy by any Eu-
ropean country, and the American who
vents his resentment On this country
because of it's new income tax law will
have to fee to some uncivilized coun-
try to escape payment of this, tax. 1
have no sympathy with any one who
has made his money in this country
and who seeks to evade payment of
just taxation.
Representative Rainey, Illinois: We
can better afford to lose than to hold
those of our rich who are fleeing to
foreign countries to escape taxation.
We have their property and their
agents will pay this country's levies.
It is a good riddance.
Representative SABBATH, Illinois: No
American who has lived and knows
conditions in foreign countries where
income taxes are levied will flee the
income tax of the United States. If
he does the protection of this coun-
try should be withdrawn, because we
do not want him.
Representative Palmer, Pennsyl-
vania: The income tax has come to
stay in this country. Our millionaires
will learn to conform to It's require
ments. Those Americans, who are
living abroad will find they will have
to pay an income tax and they will
learn its burden is heavier than the
tax imposed by this countr.-.

ON Bl RE
OF FREE I0EES'
PresidentSays exemption viO-
Iates Treaty We Signed"
CONGRESS- S WILL YIELD
Repeal Is Needed As Evidence OF
Good Faith-NothIng Critical
In Foreign Relations Is
Pending.

Washington.-Repe of the free
tolls" given American coastwise YES
sells in the Panama Canal Act was
earnestly urged by President Wilson
in brief address to joint session
of the Senate and House.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
have come to you upon an errand
which can be very briefly performed,
but beg that you will not measure
its Importance by the number of SEN
tences in which I state it. No com
munication have addressed to the
Congress carried with it graver or
more far-reaching implications to the
interest of the country, and come
now to speak upon a matter with re-
gard to which l am charged in pecu-
liar degree, by the Constitution itself,
with personal responsibility.
have come to ask for the repeal of
that provision of the Panama Canal
Act of August "a, 1912, which exempts
vessels engaged in the coastwise trade
of the United States from payment of
tolls, and to urge upon you the justice,
the wisdom, and the large policy Of
such a repeal with the utmost earn
estness of which 1 am capable
In my own judgment, very fully con-
sidered and maturely formed, that ex-
emption constitutes mistaken
economic policy from every point of
view. and is, moreover, in plain con-
travention of the treaty with Great
Britain concerning the canal con-
cluded on November 1S, 1901. But /
have not come to you to urge my per
sonal views. 1 have come to state to
you fact and a situation. Whatever
may be our own differences Of opinion
concerning this much debated
measure, its meaning is not debated
outside the United States. Every
where else the language of the treaty
is given but one Interpretation, and
that Interpretation precludes the ex-
emption am asking you to repeal.
We consented to the treaty; its
language we accepted, if we did not
originate it; and we are too big, too
powerful, too self-respecting a nation
to interpret with too strained or re-
fined a reading the words of our own
promises just because we have power
enough to give us leave to read them
as we please. The large thing to do
is the only thing we can afford to do,
voluntary withdrawal from a posi-
tion everywhere questioned and mis-
understood. We ought to reverse our
action without raising the question
whether we were right or wrong, and
so once more deserve our reputation
for generosity and the redemption of
every obligation without bubble or
hesitation.
I ask this of you in support of the
foreign policy of the administration.
l shall not know how to deal with
other matters of even greater delicacy
and nearer consequence if you do not
grant it to me in ungruding measure
