work than in the past.

The Income Tax Law.

the structure Oh Cne dCI DIS d WIlOl
is open to the gravest objections.
The criticism above quoted re
fers to the income tax law. passed
by the Democratic Congress as
part of the tariff bill. 1t is tax
en- from the report of the Taxa
ton Committee of the American
Bar Association. That report
was non-partisan. made merely
for the purpose Of having the law
improved from formal and tech
nical point of view. 1t was an
extended, exhaustive and sclen-
tifc analysis, conducted by men
of the highest standing in the le-
gal profession. Their conclus'
ions therefore may be regarded
as fair and impartial.
Their verdict is a severe ar
raignment of the careless. hap
hazard methods employed by the
present administration in the en-
actn.ent of one of its most i'm
portant laws.
In this report on the income
tax law there are pointed out no
less than twenty-five manifest
imperfections demanding correc-
ton by Congress. Without am
endment it is said that the In
tent of the law can be reached
only by judicial interpretation
involving tedious, expensive litl-
cation.
With reference to provisions
for return that tax payers must
make, the report declares: tits
most unfortunate that there
should be any doubt as to what
this precise duty is. Here, If
anywhere, the law should be
clear and explicit. The provls-
ions should be placed together in
ineligible terms, instead OF be-
ing scattered, involved with 9TH
er provisions and phrased in OBJ
scure language as they now are.
The act conveys the impression
that the trainers had not reached
any definite conclusions in their
own minds concerning the re-
quirement of personal returns.
With no thought of making po-
litical capital, this report specifi-
cally outlines the one weakness
that dominates the legislative
methods of the present admins
tration, saying: Political ext
gencies demanded the speedy en-
actment of the law, and there
was not sufficient time for the
consideration of detail.
Finally this committee of the
American Bar Association rec
ommends a revision of the law
that shall extend to it's form as
well as to it's substance"
''The entire act should be re-
constructed" concludes their re-
port, "and there should be plac-
ed upon the statute books an in
come tax law so arranged and
expressed as to be convenient foI
reference, consistent in all its
parts and capable of being. un,
derstood by a,citizen of average
intelligence"
There isno good reason for the
fragrant inperfections in the in
come tax law. They could have
been corrected by thoughtful, in
telligent consideration, and theil

One View of Ibsen.

1bsen appears in new light in one of the letters of Madame de Heger- mann-Lindencrone that appeared re- gently in Hampers Magazine. She first met him at a supper given by the king of Sweden, and, as appears, was not favorably impressed by the fa- nous dramatist.
 The celebrated Ibsen honored this feast with his presence" she says, and especially honored the Chfanti and Genzano wines, which were served copiously. When you see Ibsen, with his lion face and tangled hair, for the first time, you are fascinated by him. knowing what a genius he is; but when you talk with him, and feel his critical, piercing eyes looking at you from under his bushy brows, and see his cruel. satirical smile, you are a little prejudiced against him. When We met him often at our friend Ross studio at afternoon teas, where there is always little music, Ibsen sat sul- len, silent and indifferent. He does not like music, and does not disguise his dislike. This is not, as you may imagine, inspiring to the performers. In fact, just to look at him takes all the life out of you. He is a veritable wet blanket"
